The EvE API log in tracker has dust at a pretty steady 4600-4800 actually... on weekends at least.

However... whats more interesting is looking at the newborn player chart. It says over 9000 people per week are making new dust accounts, and yet the player numbers never increase.

I find that very interesting myself...

Who cares?

So he used the wrong word that sounds exactly like the right word. The only people that care are other grammer n@zis and English teachers. How about arguing the topic rather than being a petty little nothing?

I'm obviously trolling this thread because I'm sick of people writing novel-sized forum posts about why they hate this game, yet continue to play it. This topic is a dead horse that has been beaten beyond recognition and I have absolutely no desire to "argue the topic". I would much prefer that people just STFU or HTFU. Don't like the game and don't think it will ever succeed? STOP PLAYING.

We have stopped playing, the in game client but WE WILL NEVER STOP PLAYING THE REAL GAME.

Didnt anyone tell you, you dont play dust on a PS3 you play it like EVE, ON THE FORUMS.

Old saying, if it aint broke don't fix it.

True true but it gets boring after a while if the vomit doesn't at least change colors or smells.

You heard it here first, gents!

Any attempt at innovation is bad.

People are stopping, all the time. Just look at the trending figures on eve-offline. As regards the novellas of criticism, would you prefer one-liners? You know, "This game sucks, you're all gay for playing, I'm quitting to wait for Destiny"?

If you don't want to read constructive feedback that people have put thought into then I suggest you stop playing the forum. If people didn't care about the game they'd just leave quietly and move onto the next thing.

Found the error in your statement.

Executive Prodcer-DUST514
CCP is looking for an Executive Producer to take on DUST 514 continued development since its initial launch on the PlayStation 3 on May 14, 2013. In a similar way as CCP made EVE Online growth and prosper for over a decade the plan is the same for DUST 514 and in a similar way as with EVE, expand platforms in the future beyond the initial PS3 version. The EP is responsible for reconciling business and creative needs to create an inspirational product with successful business model. This position will lead overall development and will work closely with publishing and operations activities for DUST 514. The EP is responsible for the overall success of the title. The Executive Producer will need to build and lead strong teams of senior people from across the project in order to develop, communicate and execute the creative vision and business plans for DUST 514. As the key business leader for the project, the Executive Producer maintains a strategic focus on the overall goals of the project and a long term perspective in respect to creativity, quality, budget and timelines.

I thought most competitive shooters just regurgitate what works even if some other game chewed it for them already.

You meant the "working formula" that everyone uses because they know that it works ?

A car have 4 wheels right ? Why try to put 3 wheels on, when you know that isn't going to work ? Why try to use 20 wheels, when you know that isn't going to make any difference ?

TL;DR If I wanted your opinion I would stick it in your mouth, read or sod off.

EDIT: Vindication!!!!!! AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!!!!

Don't get to excited there big boy.

New leadership might mean another 8-10 years to turn this pile of crap around.
At the very least maybe 2-3 years to get it going in the correct direction.

Meh and who knows new leadership my run this crap pile even further into the ground.

...

Executive Producer of Dust 514 is being replaced!

budgie ...

MoH failed cuz nobody WANTED a MoH.

Why would anyone want a clone CoD game with BF mechanics? 2 very different markets colliding to create a mediocre game that wasn't good in any department.

People want a DUST. People want a reason to play. Problem is CCP don't even know what they want for DUST themselves.

You know how many people expected PVE at this point? How great that would have been for new comers AND vets alike? People are tired of the same 4 map pubstomp. PC means nothing anymore, FW has always meant nothing, and lolpubs.
