THIS IS NOT A DOUBLE SP EVENT. You have been lied to.
Only SP from WPs are double, but those are minimal in comparison to the passive gains. A typical skirmish match with about 1000 WPs gains me around 5000 SP. Good job CCP, now I get 6000 SP for the same performance. I request you to increase passive SP gains as well to make this a true double SP event.
Rather than discouraging AFK farming, you are encouraging it and WP farming. People will be less inclined to play almost twice as many games to reach the doubled cap. I can assure you that people will effectively farm WPs to gain the most out of this.
Double passive SP gains as well. |

copy and pasted from CCP
"Active skill point gain is doubled! Your warpoints earned during the match will be doubled when it is converted into skill points."
meaning you will get 10,000+ per battle... sooo it will take the same amount of time as normal to cap, but you get twice as much, just like the last double SP event
If you read carefully, the passive SP gain (5WP/s) during battles is NOT doubled. You get 2SP/WP with the double event. And how often do you get 2k+ WPs per battle?
I would have AFK-farmed if I could because I won't waste my time playing almost twice as much to cap out. Instead WP farming sounds a lot nicer. |

Don't confuse the passive SP gained in a battle (5SP/1s) with normal passive SP (1SP/3.6s)
The passive SP gained in battle is NOT being doubled. Since passive SP is majority of your SP reward, your 4000-6000 turns into ~5000-~8000. |

Just read the Dev post... It's not a true 2x event... |

When did I ever say I was going to AFK? I've never AFK'ed actually. I'm just saying that I would've AFK'ed for this event had it not been frowned upon. But as I said, WP farming sounds nicer. |

THAT is how you discourage afk farming.
I actually thought about that myself but there's a big problem: WP farming. 3k+ WPs should be rather easy to farm, and at that SP/WP rate you'd get at least 18k SP. |

I haven't farmed WPs but I've gotten almost 3.5k WPs during a real match with railgun sniping and destroying every vehicle that got brought onto the field. If I can get that much, then imagine what some WP farming can net you. So what... you just get to the cap a little faster? Fine with me.
I'm also fine with getting to the cap faster. I just strongly doubt that CCP encourages farming of any kind. But yet again you can do stuff in New Eden which would otherwise get you banned in other games... |
