And if this game was supposed to advertise EVE to new players, it totally dropped the ball. At least for me: Slow-as-hell character advancement, tedious grinding, meta-game shenanigans, subscription fees, and development taking so long that you could leave for a year and come back to hardly any changes... after DUST, you couldn't get me to touch EVE with a ten-foot-pole unless you paid me money to play it.

EVE didn't take 10 years to become great, its not like all of a sudden EVE is awesome, its been a natural, gradual progression to what it is today and baring a few faux pas releases its been awesome from day one.

Clearly you're one of those that wants everything now so you can move on to the next game, EVE/DUST isn't for you, move along.

You shouldn't make silly assumptions like that, it only reflects badly on yourself. No matter how many times you bang your head against the wall, realistically speaking, DUST is lacking in early-, mid- and end-game content. Most MMOs struggle the most with the end-game part but at least get the others down and can retain players for at least a year. Judging by how many people try this game out and never return, these contents aren't even an issue, but the fundamentals of the game itself. And the reviews since 2003 of EVE online paint a different picture than being simply "awesome from day one", yes? According to reviews over the more recent years, it has indeed become gradually better, but what I'm saying is that it's not a good track record to compare DUST to EVE and the possibility of it becoming better over time in a market where most good products arrive in a solid, acceptable state and improve from there. Maybe you should move along and go try out some other MMOs just to get an idea of what most people would expect in terms of launch quality these days.
