I mean, do you guys consider Christmas a grind because it is so far away? OMG, it will 365 days for it to get here... we need that to be sooner.
If you don't play for the SP, but use it when it accumulates, the grind nature of the game goes away. It's just a mindset... but I think if you treat it like a job it won't be fun.
I wish it could be Christmas everyday, longest day of the year was Friday...halfway to Turkey-time.
Your other point; the players don't treat it as a job, the game treats the players like workers that need to submit to the dictatorship of the game design in order to have fun.
Remember games? Yeah, those things we do for fun. Not anymore apparently, because to have fun you have to grind. EVE is different, because we're talking about spaceships and interstellar travel, with the mechanics of specialising in exploration, combat, industrial pursuits etc. Most pilot then join up and create a corp with members that have different skills or traits suitable to meeting the goals of the corporation.
With FPS, people just wanna shoot people for a few minutes after a long day sat on the couch - not sat at a desk ploughing through Excel spreadsheets, which is typically the requirements of EVE. |

Then kindly define the target audience, or, 'mindset' required to qualify one for an enjoyable session of playing DUST 514.
If you don't want the mass-market appeal, don't market to it by having a game where 99% of the time is spent finding targets to put in your crosshairs.
The more you try an alleviate something, the less people are prepared to crank their heads.
This is what is known as alienating your target audience, and it's analogous to forgetting your wife's name, let alone your anniversary, or her birthday. Just put the shotgun to your own head, the pain will be quick, but it'll be over a lot faster.
Gamers forgive, but they never forget, especially those who got tattoos, or named their first born Eve, or got permission to have spaceship on their wedding cake....oh the list goes on... |

Dull lobby shooter is not the direction dust was going 5 years ago when I watched the first trailers.
6/10 is a little high I would go 5.2/10
Even the forums are seperated...
