DUST Search - Why are you leaving Dust? [research for forthcoming article]

Things I dislike

- Stale game mods / not enough variety
- Still no PvE or any concrete word on PvE
- Lag refuses to die
- Plenty of system freezes still to be had
- Calling an Open Beta "full release", classy
- Still no news on the weapon falloff system, which could solve a number of problems
- So many invisible walls
- Heavy, y u no turn?
- Scout, y u no....**** man, I don't even know. Poor scouts
- Dro...
- ....
- EVE mentality for SP does not directly translate to FPS, gradual partial SP refund system needs investigating
- EVE / DUST connection hardly exists. PI needs to interact directly with DUST, which feeds into my next point
- No persistent world maps, still the same small handful of maps that are just shuffled around
- PC matches don't even make sense
- The Thale's is lol, it hit me for something like 900 damage? O.o This is actually more of a problem with redline / MCC sniping
- LAVs lack of anything close to believable impact physics (DS too high, LAV too low, though amazingly the DS impact damage is just about where it needs to be, finally....so in a year maybe murder taxi's will die down)
- Militia vehicles
- AV grenades home way too much still
- Fused grenades, though it's amusing killing noobs that use these
- Boosters
- AFK is still a "valid" "tactic"
- RDVs are all loldari, causing the issues that plague us and the few pilots still up in the sky
- You can't even change the flags in the warbarge to the faction you're fighting for? Weak
- Core flaylock is the dumbest weapon. Give it good splash or good direct, not both, especially not on a freaking sidearm
- Why do shield recharges STILL cost 30/60/90 CPU? That's obnoxious
- Talk of.....a bomber....dropship.....I just.....I can't even....when did.....
- Matchmaking doesn't
- Devblogs that talk in the past tense and don't give us anything to actually sink our teeth into
- Frame rate is meh
- Why are my legs always breaking?
- Still can't set up a game with my friends without jumping through hoops in PC
- Railgun installations
- There's still nothing in this game that really allows you to be creative, it's very basic still.
- No feeling of an MMO experience
- Rewards system doesn't
- The only way to walk near the window in the warbarge is to glitch it (I saw someone, and he refuses to show me the way....), and now I can't even commit suicide in the corner anymore....I blame the loldari
- Why play factional warfare unless you're stacking squads?
- No / little regard for the little guy / very low player retention / horrible new player experience
- Rendering distance is all screwy
- The guns don't sound even remotely intimidating for the most part
- Lack of movement types / ability to interact with the terrain
- Your choices have no meaning
- Abandon all hope

Having said that, I still have hope cause I enjoy playing this game spite all its bs. And if I was not in a corp I dont think I would be playing Dust 514 at all. The joy of playing in a squad with corp buddies compared to playing with randoms makes all the difference for me. I have a thing to add to your list tho: -Uplink spam.

If I play the game for an evening and it feels like I've only played 3 maps over and over it gets old. QFT. Any triple A marketed shooter should simply not have as few maps as Dust 514. And the loading freezes after uprising only adds pure frustration. I used to be addicted to Dust but no more.
