All of this frustration stems from one single and OBVIOUS fact. New players who are good are being restrained from reaching a level playing field against the veteran players
Either
a) Gear Restrict Pubs based on a net metagear level (dumb, why restrict in sandbox games)
b} GET RID OF THE SP CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not Rocket Science new players deal with this frustration in all FPS some do well in their balance of starting weaponry that it isnt a disadvanatage (PS2, KZ) others allow you to progress quickly enough to overcome the deficit. If new players could grind out the initial SP to make a decent fitting there wouldnt be this issue.
Furthermore getting rid of the cap diminishes or eliminates so many other issues for CCP, (AFK, Respec requests) It is simply the single best and easiest option that CCP can do. Its as simple as turning off the cap which wont suck up dev resources and they dont have to WASTE TIME tweaking all this crap.
GET RID OF THE CAP, PROBLEM SOLVED. |

Less sales for CCP
Impossible for people who can't play 24/7 to be even remotely relevant
Drastically reduces the life of the game
Creates an insurmountable gap even worse than what we have now in terms of SP
Basically the only thing removing the SP cap would do is sate the ego's of a few, while basically ruining the rest of the game and removing any need to make purchases in this free to play game, thusly killing it outright.
And here we go with the braindead i dont think before i respond response.
Less sales is utter BS, PS2 sells plenty of xp boosters despite having no cap because people still pay money if reasonably priced to accelerate the curve. CCP would simply need to adjust the pricing. Moreover that forces CCP to actually look at better ways to make money rather than being perpetually lazy about everything.
Um playing 24/7 and the insurmountable gap lines both assume that SP is linear and that every added SP makes you more powerful then the prior amount of SP. The fact is the growth curve reaches a limit at which point increased gains are met with diminished gains in power since there is an actual cap to Power (LEVEL 5).
Dramatically reduces life? As opposed to now? Get real here it takes over 250M SP to cap the ENTIRE skill tree and it isnt even complete. It also implicates that the only thing worth doing in this game is gaining SP, which is a sad statement of the reality of this game but again CCP's fault that they havent created content worth playing over acquiring SP and even when that content exists players are still going to want to be able to grind enough SP to be at an equal or comparably equal power level as vets during instances of PVP.
Removing the Cap wont save the game but it will do far more to benefit this game. The fact that CCP has to create a artificial restraint on players in order to make money says everything about the quality and longevity of this game, in which case CCP has a far bigger issue then what removing the cap will do. |

IWS isnt a representattive of the community why would anyone ever think that, he's always been a CCP apoligist and mouthpiece. |

Either way the original 20k was apparently too much as well having new unique players quitting during that period. According to eve-offline, it didn't make one lick of difference at all. Not having BA, too long BA, too short BA. 10k new players a day and player base is shrinking... CCP's actions did NOT improve anything. Stop being an apologist, it's painful to watch.
