It's because DUST is free to play and free to have "write" forum access. People simply abuse it instead to just go away. If somebody fares bad at EVE on trial account she simply doesn't upgrade her account, loose forum access and can't "contaminate" forums with her frustration about game. With anybody able to access DUST forum in "write" mode anytime people vent their anger unconstrained... We apparently can't appreciate "free to play" concept and will appreciate something costing us badly imho. This is something to do with maturity?

What exactly are you crying about Aeon?

Ccp are horrible at making a fps, many people find tnoo be entertaining.

You blame the community for unbalanced weapons....... i thought ccp were in charge?

Lol@people who still think dust will be anything other than irrelevant to the 99%.

You make it seem that all that community does is asking for nerfs and buffs to individual things. More often ppl are asking for reasonable stuff like: improve aiming, stop MCC AFKing, fix sticky terrain, add maps, add market, add a system where mercs actually are hired by EvE players to fight battles in EVE and not some parallel universe that has no bearing on the other game. I think you distort facts. If I understood your point, you are saying that the game sux because that's what the community requested in one way or another through QQ threads.

Everything you mentioned there is 100% CCP's fault.

This would be the reason this community is terrible - short attention spans

Sad but true. Bad threads keep surfacing. Wonder if the planetside 2 bomber has anything to do with it.

You're right, the players are not at fault in anyway.

Right from the start players set about finding glitches and exploitable game mechanics. When found CCP was immediately alerted and players actively avoided using the exploit in order to test out the rest of the content in the game.

Sp spent on offense was very diverse with each weapon being used at some point by most players to get a real feel for how they would work in tandem with each other. Maxing out any broken or OP weapon or exploiting a glitch for the sole purpose of boosting your stats, even though they would be erased soon, was unheard of on the battlefield. Because of this CCP was able to consistently get an accurate picture of what needed work that would have been impossible if players only used things already known to be broken/OP.

Very few people jumped on the tank badwagon for example. Teams would limit vehicles to one or two a match. Also even though the AV path was not one of glory and fame a large number of players trained up their AV skills, ensuring any decision made about balance would be based on sufficiently skilled builds. Militia anti-armor fits fell out of use as players leveled up to more advanced gear. Teamwork was also being used as players we comfortable working together as a group in order to complete objectives or destroy vehicles. As a result tanks are perfectly balanced and are thriving currently in the game.

CCP dropped the ball big time on this several times but you can all get over yourselves if you think that none of this is our fault just because we weren't the ones writing the code. Hell, a lot of this comes from Sony requiring approval for hanges so the only way CCP can really do it is to make all the changes at one time but that's the worst way in the world to troubleshoot.

CCP isn't the first company to set it's sights too high only to fall short. And it won't be the last. Hopefully they'll pull it together but it's looking like it's just more than they can handle. Common mistake, but that doesn't make the failures any less catastrophic.

I know the DEVs are going to look at the feedback section but that wasn't for the DEVs it was for the other players. Why am I throwing my computer away? Who's upset about any particular post?

8 months ago I made a satirical thread warning that if everyone kept on with the endless nerf threads we'd end up with only one or two working weapons and the entire game nerfed to the point where it isn't even fun anymore. And once that happens all those players that whined and cried endlessly about crap being OP will call CCP idiots for nerfing things that didn't need it, blame them for everything and quit playing.

I know that's not a shock because I've seen it before. But at least I tried to stop it even though you know it's going to happen anyway. And now I'll draw some consolation from having watched exactly what I said would happen, happen.
