Second reason: 1/3 of dust players live in mommy's basement with nothing but free time! (just saying, not literally) They easily hit cap in a day or two. Heck I've capped in a day!

Anyone agree?

These 1/3 of dust players are WoW players.

reason: 1/3 of dust players live in mommy's basement with nothing but free time!

Just like my cellphone company! If you have to work a long week and cant get all those sp points, they should roll over to the next week! This will ENCOURAGE players to ACTUALLY play more! Lets face it, if anyone ever got a mill or two behind, they will probably never collect it all. But, its there if they find the time.

Here is an example of why this IS needed! Last month my town was hit by the WORST flood it has EVER seen. We are talking about 8 feet OVER the 100 year plain! Anyway our internet was out for two weeks. AHHHHHH Those points I would have earned are now gone for ever! It took us TWO weeks and the national guard to clean up the mess

Wouldn't it be cool if they already confirmed they're doing this?

Oh wait, they did.

Months ago.

I've never capped, not even once, so I am just going to play devil's advocate and say it'll just expand the gap between HARDCORE and casual.

Not to say that there isn't an opportunity for new players to catch up, but casual players stand to gain nothing from a rollover SP cap. Possibly even a deeper hole to be buried in if every single week's worth of SP is available to those who can play out an entire week's worth of SP in a day.

I understand the rollover SP cap can be beneficial in your situation (which I hope has been resolved without further disaster!) but I feel like the current system doesn't reward any one player more than the next guy, where a rollover cap brings plenty of extra incentive to play and earn over those who only play 2-4 hours a week and would neeevvver even come close to their SP cap of 1 week much less a constantly increasing one.

Can you link it? I can't remember where it is.

CCP will never do this because it means that people wont have to play to cap, thus less people play.

Active boosters simply multiply the number of skill points you receive at the end of each battle. As such, you are better off activating them when your pool of battle skill points is full (e.g. at the beginning of each weekly cycle). If you play a lot, you might be better off with a shorter (e.g. 3-day) active booster as it will allow you to earn bulk of the extra SP by playing a lot while it is active. If you prefer a more casual style of play, you might prefer to have the boost active throughout and have the freedom to spread your play over more days without worrying about it too much.

Now, in regard to the weekly skill cap and the implications of it:

We acknowledge that the current implementation of the skill cap still isn't quite there yet. It doesn't quite allow people to choose when to play as freely as we would like, and it also adds some unnecessary complexity when it comes to using active boosters. This is why we are working our way towards a rollover SP system: instead having your pool of bonus SP being reset according to a fixed weekly cycle, you will steadily accumulate bonus SP to a pool over time that you can then empty through fighting in battles. As a result, everyone should be able to better choose when to come in and claim the available SP. Moving to such a system would have the added benefit of allowing us to make active boosters to give out a constant value over time by having them influence the rate at which SP accumulates into the pool instead of just multiplying SP received at the end of each battle.

I knew I wasn't crazy, thanks Mobius.

Whoa man, low blow on the basement dwellers!

I am not certain you understand what a roll over cap would mean. Simply put, if you do not cap the bonus SP, then the amount you dud not earn would be added to your next week.

It would not affect those who cap weekly, in any shape or form. It would simply help out those who cannot play every week, have an equal opportunity to gain the same amount.

Do it Warcraft style... Rollover sp is handed out at 100% bonus till its exhausted, but only holds about 100k exp. would help casuals kick into a new week without affecting the heavier players.
