DUST Search - What's behind the increasing community negativity?

Welcome to the world of Forums. Most of what people post is trolling of one sort or another.
The negativity comes from a feeling of inadequacy based on the emotional state they may happen to be in while they type.
This is the reason that the intense wording comes first (in a long post) and posts lose focus toward the end (longer post)
They are attempting to influence the opinion of a bunch of trolls and newberries by whining in the most effective way they can, by appealing to emotion.
This game type is too much for a regular FPSer to understand. They are used to the idea that a game is released in a tier based fashion: Game and content released first, then complete add-ons being available for purchase at a later date.
They have no experience with a game which constantly gets updated/ improved upon.
This game is almost like an art project. CCP has a vision, from which they will not deviate. We play it as it grows.

Bottom line this is a work in progress and ALWAYS will be. Either people have patience and have fun as it grows, or they will GTFO and we will be better for it.

Plus console gamers are the most immature. Let's just see when school starts if this negativity continues. Of course it will be there, you can't say it won't but it won't be as much. Kids like to talk trash hidden behind anonymity. Basically...trolling. Console gamers also feel entitled. Look how console gamers react when developers release content that isn't part of the season pass. Or games that change direction from E3 to current state. Or just look at how folks here complained about no Academy or training games for new players but when they come they complain about how its implemented. Making silly "CCP is like a child" threads. No, you're behaving like a child. This is the state of the new gamer. If they don't get what they want, when they want, they post threats and try to get folks on their bandwagon to cause an uproar. Instead of constructively expressing how they feel about the game which most of the times they can't do because their own reasons are silly and invalid. I mean, you use the same stupid strategy and get killed, but you figure it to be a OP weapon problem instead of a player problem?

Some things sound good on paper but the implementation of it doesn't work as imagined. If gamers can tell a developer how to make a good game, then maybe they followed the wrong calling in their lives. Put some faith in your devs. Offer suggestions. And understand that not all things you want can work.
