Anyone surprised we're getting another SP event shortly after the release of another update, just like the last few? |

CCP do you even understand our complaints from the last event? Because this sure doesn't sound like you do.
- The complaint was it felt like a grind because only the warpoints earned affected the bonus SP, and I thought that was to prevent AFKing. Npw that AFKing is prevented in 1.4 why still do this?
- Reducing the event from 7 days to 3 days will only make the grind feel worse, because now we only have 3 days to hit our cap if we want to take full advantage of the event.
- Having this event not start alongside the weekly SP cap reset means we have to wait until the event starts before we start playing, no matter what you say because last time you started an SP event that didn't like up with the weekly reset (the triple SP event in July) you completely messed it up.
Thanks for the SP event, but is it too late to make it not feel like a terrible grind? All you need to do is
- Start the SP event on September 4ths downtime
- Have the bonus SP equal to double of your TOTAL match SP
- End the SP event on September 11ths downtime
That is all. If you do that then the grind won't be bad at all, it'll be exactly the same as it is every normal week except we gain double the points. |

People complain about having to play a lot to max out the event benefits, so they rig it such that you have to cap out your entire week's SP bonus in two days?
I've got the first week of September off, but now I have to skip playing Wednesday-Friday and cram all my cap in on Saturday and Sunday to get the benefit of the bonus. How the hell is that going to make it less stressful???
Someone explain this to me, please. all u crybabies who cant hit a 200,000 sp cap in a week stop complaining. be happy you get an event at all and play or dont, nobody else cares. a good way to have them taken away completely is keepp complaining. nobodys fault but your own that you lack sufficient skill to cap in any more than 8 hrs.
I know that it comes off as complaining for receiving free points, but you have to look at it deeper than that. This event is obviously flawed in design, but the people at CCP actually thought this would make it better. It's the same type of decision making that happens when they decide new players only need 1000 points in battle academy to be promoted to proto stomps, or that the Amarr Commando should get a racial bonus for module use when the Commando sacrifices modules and Amarr is the race that always has the least modules. It's not really complaining about receiving free stuff, it's complaining that there is someone at CCP who has a shockingly low amount of common sense.
As a disclaimer I really want to support CCP and Dust and I'm always promoting it to everyone I talk to and always try to hide the flaws.  |
