Again, this can be solved with proper matchmaking.

The game is designed (intentionally) to take at least 7 years to max out the skills and this is not including the ones they have planned to add in like cloaking, fighters, commandos, pilots, MCC control, district management, etc. It's not meant for you to become jack of all trades inside a few months like you see in other games. But it does give you a chance to specialize into one niche career of your choice in the same time frame in the mean time.

But be careful with your choices because every choice you make now will not be undone anymore and CCP has already confirmed that there will be no more respecs after they are done processing the ones that were petitioned for before the 31st of May.

YOU NEED A PLAYERBASE FOR MATCHMAKING TO WORK!!. SERIOUSLY JUST GO BACK TO EVE AND PLAY THE MARKET, YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THIS ISSUE IS UTTERLY FLAWED YOU CANT HAVE MATCHMAKING WORK IF YOU DONT HAVE A PLAYERBASE. YOU WANT A BASE FOR THIS GAME MAKE GETTING SP EASIER AND NOT AS BIG A CHORE UP TO A LIMIT.

THANK YOU BTW FOR VOTING FOR OPTION 2 BACK IN FEB AND KILLING THIS GAME TODAY. IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.

You can buy boosters, but they only work over time. Buying SP would make Dust pay-to-win, and CCP does not want that. It banks not on you paying to level up faster, but leveling up to save time (in training) and money(ISK, not real money). Aurum is more of a convenience currency, not a winning currency. brother I realize that, when I said let me buy sp I meant that as a suggestion. But youre right, it would be pay to win but it is the only way I can see anyone else sticking around in this games current state. Nevermind what is fundamentally wrong with this current build. Regardless of fact that such a suggestion will help with player retention, it will go against CCP's previous statement of no pay-to-win items in the game and thus become a PR headache for CCP. They would rather have a niche community than to violate certain principles.

You are sounding just like regnum. And once again a member of the imps brings up my association with my corp when it has no relevance on the subject. And its always one of you guys doing this to me as i noticed. I thought you guys were hating me for being in PRO so I left it and went to D-Uni hoping that is ok with you guys. But no, it seems no matter where I go you will hate me personally regardless. That said, I bet you folks will still hate me even if I changed my opinions to match yours. What is up with you guys? I hope I'm wrong though and that you guys don't speak on behalf of negative feedback or whoever.

Im not saying you are one of them but many of the comments you make seem to lead me to that same conclusion. First, thanks for clearing that up. Second, I never bought a PS3 just for Dust. I have been playing PlayStation games since the PS2 and played a ton of games that are mostly shooters. I also played shooters on the original Xbox console. You know, that big black ugly box with a giant X on it when Halo: Combat Evolved came out? I was also one of many people who observed certain trends in the market as recalls came in with every new console being initially released and see how my friends reacted. I based my experience and knowledge off of that. But as you hinted, there have been recent changes in the market that can make my previous observation obsolete. The PS4 may still take a while to replace at least half of the PS3s that are already out there, but considering the $399 price tag, it may not take so long as expected since money is the primary deciding factor in selecting consoles.
