How can you earn 3000 SP after the weekly cap? After the cap, you can only earn 1000, right?

Who the heck suggested making it shorter? The last thing we need is for it to only cater to people who have time to cap a character in one day, and screw those of us who play throughout the week. This also tells those people they shouldn't play at all at the start of the week, so they don't waste their cap.

I am frankly amazed this passed any sort of check to prevent CCP from being stupid. It's missing the one piece of feedback we've all universally agreed is needed, and put in a bunch of things that screw everyone else.

Actually, if you play AT ALL before the event, you lose out. CCP figured out how to kill their most active two days of their game for the week.

Are you guys spying on me or something. Of the last six months and this next weekend, the ONLY SP events to occur will have been during the ONLY weeks/weekends I am out of town...creepy .

But what everyone is saying is that that extra 50 SP receives no bonus whatsoever. Let's push the 50 SP example further. Let's say you get 4500 per match which is not unreasonable or unheard of (and I have boosters but this 1st example is without boosters for simplicity's sake). That equals, above the 3000, an extra 1500 SP you're (not) getting the bonus for per match. At 4500 per match it will take approximately 42 and 1/3 matches to hit your 190,400 weekly bonus cap (42.311111... by actual math). If I multiply that 1500 I'm not getting a bonus for over 42 matches it equals 63,000 SP that I'm not getting bonus for, while I DO receive an extra 126,000 (3000 x 42 = 126,000 x 2 = 252,000) over those same matches. Now say I only get the requisite 3000 per match, then it takes me approximately 63 and 1/2 matches to reach 190,400 (63.46666...7 by actual math). If I choose to string it out over these 63 matches, I get every point doubled (3000 x 63 = 189,000). So let's do the final math:

Example 1: 126,000 x 2 = 252,000 (doubled SP) + 63,000(extra NON doubled SP) = 315,000
Example 2: 189,000 x 2 = 378,000 (doubled SP)

That's your 63,000 SP point difference, and that's without the booster bonus and only losing the bonus on an extra 1500 per round.

Let's look at it with the bonus using 4500(3000 + 1.5 active booster) as the minimum and 4500 x 1.5 (6750) as the hypothetical per match overage.
This time the 4500 a match takes 63 and 1/2 matches to reach the weekly bonus with boosters (190,400 x 1.5 = 285,600) (4500 x 63 = 283,500)
The 6750 this time takes 42 and 1/3. This time we're losing 2250 in bonus over 42 matches
(4500 x 42 = 189,000) + (2250 x 42 = 94,500 (non bonused))
So again, let's do the math plugging in the booster numbers:

Example 1: 189,000 x 2 = 378,000 (doubled SP) + 94,500(extra NON doubled SP) = 472,500
Example 2: 283,500 x 2 = 567,000

That's your 94,500 point difference with the booster.

Bottom line, if you do minimally 1/2 better than the 3000 point bonus max w/o booster, or the 4500 bonus max w/booster per match, you lose out on 63,000 or 94,500 respectively. This is of course contingent on my correctly understanding how this double SP events works. All of this could be wrong in which case I'm just going to go to sleep as my brain is angry with me for making it work this hard on a holiday.

The issue with using 3000 SP per match as an average is the vastly different payouts across game modes. If you were taking the average payout for Skirmish mode only, I'd bet it is noticeably higher than 3000; ambush matches would be lower. By basing your cap off the average across all game modes, you create a situation where only the lower scoring game modes (i.e. ambush) are worth it for the bonus; the higher payout modes only waste potential earnings.

The players who are actually paying attention to the event know this, and if they want to maximize their bonus will stick to Ambush. Anyone playing Skirmish or Domination during this event either doesn't know or care about the event, or has already hit their weekly cap.

I actually get the idea of using "average" SP earned in a match as your baseline, as it ensures the newer and less skilled players will get the most out of the event; unfortunately it encourages skilled players to try and game the system by AFKing or not participating in the battles.

Perhaps a different maximum reward could be offered for each game mode? 2000 for Ambush, 4000 for skirmish, whatever each mode's average payout is.

I think you are missing the point he is trying to make. Based on the weekly cap, earning any sp on non event days or any sp over 3,000 in a match results in a loss of event bonus sp. this means that players must try and "grind" matches deliberately earning no more than 3,000 sp per match on fri-sun ONLY to take full advantage of the event.

Page 12 and this event is still clear as mud!

Lets see it starts Wednsday I can only play up to 3000 sp per match or its wasted?

I have no idea someone TLDR for me how do I maximized my SP gain
