Dude, I've been preaching about boosters needing more value per money. I've stopped buying them because they barely make a difference. It's more psychological than anything, but once you get past "oh no, i'm making marginally less SP than I used to", running without boosters is no big deal.

Boosters don't raise cap. They count towards your cap and just make you reach it faster.

Can someone clear something up for me please?

I keep seeing the number 190,400 as the weekly skill cap.

From my understanding this is the amount of SP that can be earned each week before capping and booster SP is not taken into account with this number.

SO

If 190,400 can be earned each week without a booster, with a booster (190,400 x 1.5) 285,600 SP may be earned per week before cap.

Without a passive booster, passive gives 24,000 x 7 totalling 168,000, and with a booster 36,000 x 7 gives a total of 252,000 SP.

SO

If my understanding is correct, and please feel free to correct me if I've picked this up wrong, then the following is true (If you hit cap each week) -

MAX SP Per Week without a booster is - 190,400 + 168,000 = 358,400 SP
MAX SP Per Week with passive and active boosters - 285,600 + 252,000 = 537,600 SP

So less than 200k SP per week for how much? Anyone know what a 7 day passive and 7 day active equates to in real money?

This is very late in the curent game to worry about this. in 1.4 the system is getting changed greatly and focusing more on daily login bonuses from what i understand in the patch notes. I could be wrong on this though but 1.4 looks like its changing the whole weekly cap thing totally.

i just wonder why someone would pay for a unfinished product!?
Yes its f2p but if you had to by the game i think gamestop would be overheating at the return counter..
And to you guys out there who do pay for boosters its cool that you help and support the game i did get a few mercpacks myself before uprising. but the arrogance and greed from ccp's marketing department kinda killed it for me.

ohh one last thing i find it really sad when i read all the excuses why we dont have this and that ingame (pve, suits, etc.) its always the same that they are refocusing to get the "core" right WTF did they do with the 1 year of beta???

If you want to game to progress you have to pay something, or you can mooch off of all the other guys who pay and no one will think any less of you. It may be unfinished and CCP may make some really questionable calls but I'd be lying if I said I was getting entertainment value out of their product.

Do you mean 'wasn't'?
