This is a BIG problem for me that constantly pisses me off with how CCP treats new players.

Problem #1: 500K SP to start is absolute BS that needs to go especially when they got a weekly cap as well, uncap newbies for the 1st 10M SP. If any vets come complaining that "omg i had to grind months to get 10M" no one cares things change deal with it this is about making the game more attractive to newbies not about u, i got 20M+ SP and idc if newbies get uncapped for the 1st 10 because it gets them competitive alot quicker thus encouraging them to stay.

Problem #2: Lack of Tutorial this is a big problem, CCP has this stupid cap and 500K start already and no indication to a newbie player that they should stick to 1 role so naturally a newbie is gonna spread their SP thin and by doin that they extend the painful grind even more.

The grind is already painful for vets and we know exactly where to dump all our SP , newbies dont have that luxury.

Another thing HOW dafuq are newbies suppose to stick to ONE role and focus their SP if there is no respec option or any place for them to TEST roles out to see wtf they like and would like to focus on?
People suppose to just randomly pick a role and HOPE its something they like? CCP seems to rely on alot of fan hope tbh but this is reality and if u want console fps players to stick around on your game u have to make it attractive and forgiving at the start and NO aim assist isnt what i meant get that **** out.

DUST isnt attracting and retaining new players, vets are also slowly leaving. A game like this needs constant influx of players but CCP you are doin an excellent job at showing them why its better to go play other games than spend time on yours.

Why would a newbie dload DUST fumble around the SP system, spread thin tryin stuff out to take 6+ months to find something they like or focus on 1 role for 3 months only to realise its not a role they wanna play but thought it would get better later on.

Ways to fix:

1. More than 500K SP to start and uncapped till 10M SP

2. Actual tutorial

3. Im still a supporter of respecs for AUR tbqh it helps keep the game FRESH knowin ppl can spend some cash and try something fun for a weekend instead of devoting 4 months to gettin a scout nova knife troll fit just for a couple pubs.

PS: Tweeted this out recently and i'll say it again CCP does a better job pushing ppl away from this game than the ppl u actually fighting against. Think about it.

Mav out goes back into bittervet cage o7 the only good point you made was dust isnt helping out new players with a tutorial system, but un capping to 10 mill would be stupid, think of no lifers getting to that point in a copple weeks you would have a bunch of kids running proto ******* up every ones day ither by stomping lower level players or getting in the way of people trying to do things properly and not zurg it. essitaly the uncap of 10 mill is like saying its ok to give a five year old a hand gun loaded and ready to fire.
