I've never really done the MCC afk thing but I'm actually considering it right now. The game is so painful to play I just don't see the point until it gets better. Don't wanna fall behind though.

This I find funny. You don't want to fall behind? Are you that dependent on being at the top of the heap that you have to stick around to complain or AFK to the detriment of everyone who isn't fed up?

Dude, just take a break. AFK till you hit your cap and go do something else. We all know Dust has problems and we know CCP has their master plan on to fix those problems that they don't want to share the when and where about. Catch up on some other games, watch something on Netflix, just take some time off.

Nah, I'm done with that. Needles are broken, spawns are terrible, drop uplink light up like a sore thumb, game inherently gives an advantage to anyone not looking in the general direction of an outpost by way of reduced lag and one map still has memory leaks that cause excruciating FPS drops.

AFKers plague faction warfare and skirmish, armor tanking/shield tanking is awry, game still lacks the immersive elements of player based economy, the eve connection is restricted to seldom used and very circumstantial OB strikes circumvented by Precision Strikes and an alphanumeric form of communication (chat/mail) some to utilize them, some skills don't even apply correctly (reduced charge up does nothing for assault scrambler rifles), and worst of all the aiming is still jerky and slippery.

Scouts still need tweaking, Plasma Cannons arguably need tweaking, Logi LAVs need a practical repairer, maps still have invisible barriers and some have holes, PVE is in limbo, Crusader and Pilot suits are a distant memory, dev blogs are never released and transparency might as well require a congressional warrant. Etc etc etc.

Buffs and nerfs should be taken with caution, not implemented with such vast quantities and values as to completely degenerate playstyles and manifest 'flavors of the month'. Hell, those flavors shouldn't even last a month.

When, oh when, is this game going to at the very least be stable? Were I on the CPM (and I guarantee I will be running for candidacy) I would be absolutely belligerent in stating - no, DEMANDING - that all development of new content be placed on lower priority or ceased until a working product is in order. These are not minor issues, these are issues that should have been noticed by internal QA. These are issues that have existed since well before Uprising. These are issues that have been reported repeatedly.

I know this post will inevitably be locked as a rant, but I'm willing to allow it so that it can be read. Whether the community agrees or disagrees is not my concern, but that they know that they're not the only ones stating the obvious. So, with that out on the table, I say this:

Your move CCP.

Further still, I feel that I must maintain a sense of e-bushido and set an example for others if I am to ever become a member of the CPM. That and I feel that FAKing (epic tablet auto correct) is cowardly.

It's a difficult stance to take amongst liars and thieves (lolEVE), but I believe it to be the proper path

The ps4/PS+ argument is kinda weird IMO, If you own a ps4, then chances are(BFC) that you'll subscribe to PS+.
This is not a subscription to Dust, and shouldn't be considered as one either. That'd be like saying dust aint free to play, because i have to pay for electric and ISP services

After seeing the new trailer for Dust (and the new stuff in there), which are being done without consulting with the community (which they said they would).

**** this.

Im QQing.
