P.S. I'm going to miss all the emails that said "Enjin: godhands9 posted something on their wall" lol. You sure did a lot of wall posts.

This game isn't a normal fps and the more people treat it like one the worse the game will be to them. It's like buying a Porsche and using it to deliver mail. This game is about politics and bragging rights. It is stressful and it does burn people out. I blame active SP and the false idea that a merc can't operate without full prototype gear.

This game has good potential and will probably be good but if no one can get past the grinding mentality then it is already dead. Leadership is difficult and maintaining good moral is even more difficult.

Corporate managers are going to have to accept the fact that a full ringer team isn't always possible and be ready, willing and prepared to send B+ mercs into battle for defense of districts. Lack of content and a dropsuit selection that leaves people feeling forgotten and overlooked only makes things worse.

Only the strongest clans will be able to handle to shift to DUST because there is a big difference between a clan and a corporation. People make fun of the single shard/mmo part of DUST and call it BS but it breaks normal fps clans down and it is because they have to compete with everyone all the time not just some random guy whom was matched up with them.

Match making takes the mmo out of DUST buy not letting us just go there. Start opening districts in every system and restrict some gear by sec status. Drop match making and let us make our own battles.

Yeah, honestly I have no idea what goes on most of the time in my corp or the alliance. I am pretty hands-off, and while I would like to be more involved, I just don't play as much as it would require to really get things done. So I just do my own thing and stay out of it (mostly). Which is fine by me, I am no leader and I certainly don't have the social patience to deal with it all.

No disrespect to clans from outside of New Eden, but i would be honestly and happily impressed if a single fps clan survived as a corp in DUST.

Maybe a clan of older guys or RL vets might stand a chance, if they're content to stay in the shallow end of the pool.

Corps and Alliances are going to shatter under the blows and buckle under the stress of the New Eden endgame. They will be alloyed, reforged and tempered into something far stronger and then ripped apart again, until what emerges out of this process are genuine New Eden entities. These forces will operate just as ruthlessly on the psyches of the individual mercs who take part in it over the course of years.

Until eventually new players coming into the game will shake their heads in wonder and disgust at the twisted, ruthless political monsters you have all become.

Is any game worth that? Take it from a vet - leave now, while you still can.
