Just ... really ... think about what you are saying here. You, a consumer, should pay money to a company for something you are not using because against all odds one day you might become a consumer again when/if the company provides something worth buying.

Again, you should pay money for a service you are not using. That's like continuing to pay your mobile phone plan to Nokia because you liked your first Nokia but you're using an iPhone now. What kind of spastic would do that?

I just don't know what to say in the face of such blind sycophancy.

You didn't read his post.

His assumption is that you believe the game will be big some day. He didn't try to convince you that it would or that you should, he starts with the assumption that you already do and are willing to take the risk that it won't.

If you believe that, then you buy SP via passive boosters so that you have a versatile, competitive character at the point in time you decide to play.

That's the same reason I find the concept of "High level play" incompatable with DUST. The game is both incomplete and unbalanced. You have to be crazy to think you could run a stable competion environment in DUST at the moment. Nerfs, buffs, and new equipment constantly upset the playing field. Like those reviewers say Dust 514 has potential, but it's a mediocre shooter.

They would have to be willing to wait YEARS and not get sidetracked with other games. Nothing wrong with getting sidetracked on other games once in a while. One of the strengths of DUST is that since it is free you donGÇÖt have to cancel or renew your subscription. And if you have real faith in the game you will keep buying those passive boosters even while you are playing Planetside 2 or whatever the FTM game is.

People here are cool. 6 months from now this game will be flooded. I smoke fools. This game has at least another year in it.

You do not. playerbase does not = concurrent players. Player base is a very stretchy concept. Do you cound everyone who has ever downloaded the game? Or ppl who log in once a week or once a month or those who have not deleted dust off harddrive? How many of those are commited players? How many are willing to spend money to keep the game going? Rhetorical questions.

You do not. playerbase does not = concurrent players. 3k per hour and probably a two hour play time. Makes me think about 40k, there are lots more but many are alts and some have quit. I would like to think that the online count will slowly start to rise here very soon and stay on the upward trend from then on. The next four months will make or break us. My prediction is a full line of core suits and most vehicles by November with talk of pve release in January.

Th3rdSun Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 450	Posted - 2013.07.30 04:08:00 - [41] - Quote Are we even sure that the advertising is up to or in CCP's hands? Think about how advertising was done for MAG(or lack there of).It was pretty much all on Sony,which they failed miserably to advertise it. I don't exactly know for sure with it being F2P,but I'm sure that some,if not most of the advertising is up to Sony. As of the Planetside comments.Having played it on PC recently,unless they change the grinding DRAMATICALLY,there's no way that it will be the new FoTM,even with people leaving Dust.Currently,it takes about 60 hours just to get "a gun".No attachments,no nothing.Just the gun and that's it.Aside from that,it's waaaaaaay more pay to win than Dust ever will be. Now I'm no Dust apologist any longer,but the real nail in Dust's coffin will be when other games of a much higher caliber are released on next gen consoles,like The Division and Destiny. CCP/Sony don't need to advertise Dust,they need to make sure that it's a AAA title that's fun to play.Something that it really isn't close to being right now.

I sure as hell read his post and you are just as crazy as he is if you think paying real money for a potential future advantage in a game you don't currently play that may or may not ever have reach undefined end state is rational.
