Sorry, poor people and no-lifers... go get a job (or unemployment, prostitution, etc. whatever, I don't care)

Otherwise, we will continue to have a poorly built game. With continuously bad mechanics. In every update that comes to us at the speed of light maple syrup.

Sorry to be harsh and all QQ'ey but let's not lie to ourselves here...

Dust 514 is well on its way (already is) a "good, bad game" - Think games like Mirror's Edge or Resident Evil: Revelations - series and games that had good/fun ideas, stories, plots, etc. but terrible gameplay mechanics or just simply suffered from being unpolished. These drawbacks ultimately labeled these games as bad when they had potential to be much grander.

For example, the state of this build has rendered my class almost useless - The CQC Scout. PC battles are a nightmare, as if pub matches were bad enough.

excessive Input lag + bad hit detection + actual server lag make my shotgun nearly useless and the coming of ISK "Fused Locus Grenades" at 400HP damage or whatever it is will make me even more useless. (Or maybe I should stop being a total scrizzub, right?)

I understand a company, like CCP, needs the $$$ - no, not ISK - to get quality work done. Because, it seems like those of us who are purchasing the Aurum packages just isn't cutting it for Crowd Control Prod...

So, perhaps they should SERIOUSLY consider moving this game to the pay-to-play market... Perhaps getting us a good, quality connection and server would be a good start. Or maybe finding us a workaround for us of having to go through PSNs lovely "duct-tape" connections.

Nothing would kill this game faster then making it pay to play. It is console game. Have you ever heard of a pay to play console game, becuase I have not. Console gamers won't go near a monthly sub for just a single game. I beielve you mean pay to own, and if you want the real full game then you alreayd pay to own when you buy the merc packs with the blueprint items. And hate to break it to you but once your free to play you can't go back to sub or pay to own. BTW the server Dust plays on is the same server Eve plays on, so I am sorry but those issue you have are on your side on your own personal PS3.

Cough DCUO Cough It was originally pay to play, they changed that model, but to basically not be extremely limited, you pay a subscription anyways.

Sorry, you lost me there. p.s. I've already paid for this game. Didn't you know? Fun is objective, not subjective. At least by what i've seen upon the forums, is the jist of what i'm getting from the community.
