One thing that pisses people off more than anything is devaluing SP.

Ive been trying to say this same thing.

Wasted SP = Waste time... and no one wants to feel their SP is wasted. A game that feels like youre wasting youre time is not fun and if a game isn't fun.. you end up with a playerbase as small as Dust.

In before the "NO MOAR RESPECS EVAR" idiots come in here.

The biggest whiners are clearly those asking for repecs, and the AR nerf brigade.

One thing that pisses people off more than anything is devaluing SP. Whether this comes in the form of nerfs, or higher sp requirements for skills or anything of the like. Most people i know left this game PRIMARILY because at launch the SP requirements were so high they couldn't skill into what they had before. I knew an eve player that quit because overnight the SP requirements for his shield modules went from 4 to 5. He didnt know that it was a "fix" and didnt care. in thier minds CCP was devaluing our SP, our game time, our work. Others quit because literally the stats and bonuses of items they specced into, using SP they paid money for boosters to get, were literally changed. Without thier consent, and of course, without a respec option.

So they quit. End of story. The games bazillion inherent flaws were just icing on the cake causing them to leave. CCP you have nerfed into oblivion countless things, and caused Most of the people that play this game to simply quit to stop taking your BS, and BS of QQers on these forums.

I have no doubt you will not provide a respecs in the near future. And because of this, even more of the tiny playerbase is going to leave. The game will die.

I suggest a respec, and do it quick, despite what the trolls on these forums say, because otherwise i literally cannot see dust recovering from its current situation.

Me? Ya im one of the most active players on this game. Got 15million SP. Guess what? No respec? Then im gone too. And i know a HELL of a lot of your most active players & vets thinking the same thing as me, well the ones that didnt quit in the last few weeks of course.

CCP you've listed to the loudest whiners on the forums for awhile now. Look wheres it gotten ya.

Do something and do it quick. Cus your playerbase sure as hell aint happy.

Planetside 2 does this all the time though and in that game people are encouraged to buy new guns all the time.

Players "wasted" SP to bandwagon on the next OP item. First it was the TAR, then it was the cal-logi's super shields, now its the flaylock. It was the player's fault for investing SP with the intention to exploit an item.

Yea, but you cant just buy a pack of instant Sp in Dust.

Yeah but nerfs in Planetside 2 always seem final, like its something they never revisit or readjust again. 5-7 USD down the drain per gun they nerf and they always seem to nerf the best seller.

They wasted their SP on their own free will knowing full well that whatever they spec into could change any day. It only takes about 400K SP to get into a STD racial fit. Let's face it, you can still do well in a standard suit if you have any skill.

wasting a few dollars is nowhere near as aggravating then wasting a months worth of time to grind for something that eventually is rendered useless.

"oh m favorite gun just got nerfed, better throw my money at the game for the next FOTM"

For me the average gun takes me two months to unlock in planetside as a casual player.

In Dust 514 I had just about every gun type, base suit, module, base vehicle, unlocked by week one after reset.

Good players don't need prototype gear.

Also I am probably a different sort of player, I generally gravitate towards weapons that I feel better in use, for example my favorite type of sniper rifle in most games is generally the closest thing to a bolt action rifle they have because the way the function usually is a very peculiar. I just find it upsetting that they would go to lengths to nerf a sniper rifle to do less damage than some small caliber pistols in that game.

Yea, but you cant just buy a pack of instant Sp in Dust, you have to work for everything. Boosters just let you work a little less.


in planetaide 2, you can just throw money at the game, and instantly get what you want. You can't do that in Dust.

You literally have no ground to stand on with that argument IWS. You are a terrible player, and I have roflstomped you every single time I've played against you in instant battles.

You wouldn't last a second in PC against some of the opponents I've faced as part of PFBHz and TP.

You cannot say you don't need proto gear in this game, not when you're opponents are rocking all proto and playing as hard as they can.
