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. Not to mention its opening weekend of the NFL. Good luck with that guys. Speaking of which guess I won't get the benefit, as I will be at a game.
You're assuming that most folks who spend most of their time playing a first-person shooter will take time off to watch a game of athletes smashing into each other, suffer concussions, and later filing a class-action lawsuit against the NFL. Yeah, I'll stick to Dust, thank you. |

CCP, why do you serve this event, only to laugh about my face?
Please cancel this event.
I only want to enjoy and explore the 1.4 patchlog changes next week. Talking about improvements, configure my controller again and cursing about mistakes in corp chat.
Just play the damn game like you normally do. It's not like you're making any impact anyways. |

80 clone - Alive time 10:08, 2788 SP before booster
50 clone - Alive time 5:50, 1948 SP before booster
80 clone - Alive time 11:04, 3264 SP before booster
All I did in these rounds was to find a corner in the redline and sit on my ass.
So, CCP, if the match drags out passed around 10 minutes, then even AFKers exceed the SP cap for this event. Any player actually trying to get points is punished by doing so since they are prematurely exhausting their cap without any bonus earned.
You have designed an event that encourages AFKing, and potentially quitting a match early, to maximize the SP gained.
Can we get rid of the 3000 SP limit already?
Have you read the patch notes lately? There will be some anti-AFK measures in place. |

Yeah AFK isn't really the right phrase, but it's an easy (and trendy I guess) way to say 'avoid gaining active sp in battle' ... I suppose it's one way to test functiionality of these anti-AFK measures ... give us an event that promotes the 'hunt for a loophole' Should have just called apples apples and given an extra bonus sp for finding ways round it lol.
Just keep in mind that there might be some secret algorithm to the anti-AFK mechanic. One of the devs (I forgot which) mentioned that that it will be rubber band proof in some way. By rubber band proof they could mean that the system might be able to tell the difference between a player trying to walking to an objective and a player just walking endlessly into a wall in the MCC because the player put a rubber band on his DS3. |
