the rewards for playing the game are boring, tedious and uninspiring, chromosome had it right imo, we would get decent payouts, decent rewards, and I even bothered to look at the loot because sometimes I'd get officer weapons in a quantity I could have some fun with.

In my case it was the drop of SP rewards. Nothing demotivates me faster than having a bad game and a crappy SP payout. At least during the old Bonus SP weeks it felt like the skill development was getting somewhere.

Right now its just a competitive PvP rat-race grind. The only positive thing now is if there are interesting people on coms to BS with.

ya not sure why they reduced the SP.....I guess they thought people were capping out too fast...which is a joke if they believed that.

I capped out on fridays back in the day, but even back then I knew people that had never once capped out, for those people I feel bad, and yes I took a hit to my motivation from the SP reduction as well.

No industry to invest in, or construction process to do. I'd love to drop my isk into constructing high end suits, or buy officer gear, but you give us nothing to work with. There was a time not long ago when payouts seemed to be a lot higher. Now 50% of the people are in proto, but the payouts are lower. A month or so into uprising I made 960,000 ISK in a domination match. I've had better games since that paid out 350,000 ISK. If I had to guess they are trying to limit protostomping to improve NPE.

I think they should make it possible to cap out playing an hour or two in the evenings a few days a week. Reduce the grind which is why I think removing the cap makes sense. If you want to grind out 2.4 mil SP in a few weeks get after it. I'd like for this to feel like less of a job.
