It is not an MMOFPS, an MMORPGFPS, or even, as some like myself have jested; an FPSRPG (lol FF514)
It is a Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter. In theory, and in practice, through slight growing connections such as Planetary Conquest and Corporations, one might argue that DUST 514 deserves to be called Massive. As it stands, unless you're waving an imaginary dream wand in front of your face, DUST 514 currently lacks anything that indicates a Massive, persistent, breathing; meaningful and tasteful environment, both economically and physically.
I'm not going to sit here and ask you where all the things I want are. I'm actually not just a whiny ***** as some likely believe. I like to kick up the dirt when I'm aggravated, but I always attempt to do so in a constructive and relevant way. I understand that reality =/= vision, and when **** hits the fan, and you're controlling a company and working with so many people and doing so many things, that only so much can be done; especially within the confines of what Sony allows.
With that said. It is hard for us to put faith in your vision anymore, when going from 8 v 8 to 16 v 16 in a corp match was something cool. It is hard for us to put our faith in your vision, when the choices that you make effect little more than numbers on a sheet; and resound little further than the timid pops of "futuristic" weapons fire. It is hard for us to put our faith in you, that when performance issues are taking a long time to actually become considered polished, I should be concerned that if I'm short on time or skill; you know, maybe I should purchase some Aurum today.
In short, I know that "EVEntually" we will get to that beautiful pie in the sky that you're all working ever so diligently on creating. However, in the here and now, the fact that the most meaningful choice I can make is directly proportional to how much I will enjoy my style of play and the future of my "competitive" "career" for many many months to come....yea, it honestly doesn't set well with me anymore. The EVE mentality does not always translate into the FPS reality, not completely. To avoid what is already a massive wall of text, I'll end on that note, and comment if this doesn't get trolled into the dusty pits of General.
