As someone who owns 2 dual shock 4's and has played them for 100-150 hours, and did not simply test them at a Best Buy, I can confidently say you are completely making this up.  I have beaten KZSF, AC4, Resogun tons of times, Contrast, and played Warframe, Blacklight, Need for Speed R.  It is actually the opposite.  I would say DS4 is the nicest controller I have ever used.  The only thing that sucks about them is battery life.  It is noticeably worse than DS3.  I would guess they last somehwere between 30-40% as long.  You basically have to own 2 and 1 is almost always on the charger.  But as for what you are saying this thread should be closed.  They look and perform the exact same as the day they came out of the box...

Seriously, stop with this "you're making stuff up, mine is perfect!" thing. It is clearly documented that some sticks are worse than others.

and thanks to your post you have cleared up the crap about the DS4 analog sticks being garbage as not all have the same problem.

That's because not everyone uses the controller in the same way.   I can confidentally say that it's happening slowly to both of mine.  I'm a master level Resogun player and solid at Killzone as well.  

It's the engineering of the controller combined with the rubber.  The rubber isn't firm enough and with the concave-ribbed design of the DS4,  it will start to deteriorate along that ribbed edge.  Simply put,  I believe much like the Red Ring of Death was an inevitability for almost all 360 users the controller wear will also be one for PS4 users.

Best controller I've used in ages but the rubber sticks engineering (Atleast for launch consoles) was in fact very poorly handled.
