This is totally unnecessary but figured I'd just throw down a voice though it's as likely to be heard as some guy who started last week.
It's July, I've been around a year now. Quickgloves, I disagree with some of your points but you're dead on that there are too many people not just throwing up their hands and walking away, but carpet-bombing the forums with "how terrible DUST is". There are people out there so sick in the head they feel the need to spam literally hundreds of posts with Planetside2 nonsense. (I've played it, it's crap. Log on with 30-50 buddies, zerg rush for an hour or two, then log off and all your effort is lost. OR, log in solo and get your **** rocked to 2 hours of death animations.... Or be me, Spawn in the back and get a Sunderer and play Space Truck Sim for an hour just exploring and enjoying the view miles and miles away from anything but accomplish nothing).
Kane... Well, yeah. We know. I and a lot of others imagine that you and Jager are the only two CPM out there actually listening to this nonsense but also trying to keep CCP aware of **** while they apparently ignore things and chill in their lofty towers of marble and gold saunas being fanned by half-nude Asian women. (Some of us are more intelligent and get that they're busting their asses but there's just so much to be done).
SoTa, I agree with your statements to a degree as well but you have to admit a larger harm to the DUST community rather than the game itself is people coming on forums and the first thing they read is from some "Vet" who says this game is utter shite, despite the fact that "Vet" is still out there pub-stomping newbies and scaring them from the experience 7 ways to Sunday.
Look, I'm a nobody. No one important, no one of significance, but if I didn't give half a **** about this game I wouldn't be trying to actually help in the Training Ground. I wouldn't bother with the Skill Planner nonsense, especially when it's stickied and still has virtually no likes and I'm told in-game on occasion how worthless the thing is.
I wouldn't still be trying to do my little bit, no matter how small my voice may be, to try to help this game and the community together achieve the potential it still has yet to reach.
For a brief comment (because I'm so good at those, clearly) on PC. I think the issue IS the cost barrier and massive benefit to powerful corps sitting in defensive positions. I don't know how to fix THAT but I can say that we NEED Corp Battles brought back to us. A controlled corp Arena battle system where people can gamble on what they're comfortable with. I've been in 100mil CBs, but had just as much fun in 100k CBs where everyone agreed to run militia and just have a good time. That's something PC doesn't do for certain. For anyone not involved, PC is a damn job, and I'm not even on prime-time for most of them anyway. It is NOT fun.
We need a way to get back the FUN we all had 5, 8, 10, or 12 months ago, and a way to share it with EVERYONE. I don't know how to do it and far more intelligent people have been struggling with that problem for longer than I.
