..... why not wait until we have a bunch of new players? Veterans are just getting more SP and making the gap even bigger. I know skilling at higher levels is about spreading out, not up.

Also to those that think this is preparation for new equipment, than what the heck was the x3 SP event for, other than to have us all try out 1.2?

Shhhhhhh...

... Don't **** it up, I want Engineering V two weeks early.

The way the skill system works, you can only get so tall. After that, you just get fatter. Once you max out your specialization (as many "vets" have done), any further skilpoint investment is a lateral movement at best.

Anyone who's gotten to about 12mil Sp has probably gotten all they
want in terms of weapons/suits specialization so the gap pretty much
stops there. Like one of the posts above anything after that mark is
pretty much about broadening out into other stuff.
Maybe once you've hit a certain amount of Sp these events don't apply
but I can imagine the tsunami of tears we'd have if that was the case.
I don't care about these events anymore...only thing I get out of them
is a bit more for my alt but he's just for trying stuff out so its not gonna
push me to play any more than I usually do.

**** that I won't have my spec maxed till 26 million sp

Same dude. As a Cal Logi (u won't beat ME down CCP, FU!) I need to max out Shield upgrades, extension, rechargers, regulators.

Need to max core upgrades, electronics, engineering. Need to max a weapon (AR currently), with high proficiency/reload/ammo skills since I do not have a sidearm as backup and may need to use adv weapon rather than proto (i.e. rely on proficiency for my DPS) due to fitting.

To be halfway decent I need high-to-max armor upgrades, plates (need the +10% to basic/enh plates), and possibly armor repair.

I'm slow as **** so I need to max biotics; I will probably need Cardiac Regulation / Kinetic Catalyzation to at least advanced in case I need a runner fit or to speed tank, and might as well max those out since the skill improves the effectiveness of the modules.

And that's before maxing Nanocircuitry, Repair Tool Ops, and Drop Uplink Deployment.

Oh wait, they ****** my CPU up, so now I need to grind out Light Weapon Operation from III to V to cut ~6 CPU off of my weapon so I can FIT all that equipment. "WHaaaaaat?! Uplinks are PG intensive???" Might need to get AR Fitting Optimization to IV so I can cut *1* PG off my duvolle which might let me actually fit advanced grenades.

GRENADES?!! ****! That **** is expensive. And since I only have one weapon I really need those grenades. And probably need to train explosives higher than I would just as a pre-req to shave off a couple CPU cuz, again... Cal Logi.

... and that's before I even think about proto swarms or having any other suits or weapons to play around with.

... the journey continues. See you all in 2015

I like the universal cap idea; there is a set max cap that progresses as it does now, and anyone that is far behind can catch up to the mercs who were playing since the beginning of time.

@anita

or...I just like the game...seriously just cause you guys like to shove your opinions about hating the game down our throats, some of us enjoy it.

stfu and leave already >.>

Someone how owns a alt can play more? I was thinking you guys are already playing at the limit.


@Rogatien Merc liking your post give my nearly cancer since you are a member of EoN and the most time the member posting sh*t all over the place. But your posting was funny and smart. Here, have a like.
