Everything seems straightforward when you're not directly responsible for it 
That said, I haven't heard a thing about this officially for ages and its driving me nuts |

CCP probably thinks it's unnecessary and it'll only reward people for not playing their game. Theres hundreds, maybe even a thousand alt accounts, imagine them gaining rollover SP for a year or two, you can have a guy quit for months and come back with a boatload of SP waiting to be gained.
Then again, I wonder if they realise just how grindy their game can be. More than a month of capping every week just to go from lvl 3 to lvl 5 dropsuit variant. |

conversely,
If someone looks at the SP gap, or SP they've lost by not keeping up
Do you think they're more or less likely to pick it back up and play if they can recoup that?
I fail to see the disincentive. Did the weekly cap make people play less than the daily cap? |

I doubt that it changed anything and I don't think a rollover SP system would change anything. If you don't have time to cap for two weeks and then have to work "overtime" to cap on the third week. These guys are already complaining about not being able to cap with triple SP so how will a roll over help?

Yep, just to take 3-4 more bullets at twice the cost, totally worth it, definitely worth the stress lol

Dont think you played proto suit for very long, going from advanced to proto suit is a serious upgrade.
2-3 more slots, more cpu/pg to proto things with like your weapon, all complex shield ext on all of your highs instead of "just some". More space and fitting overall to further upgrade with. For logi, an extra 3 slots at proto brings you on par with assaults in tankability. |

CCP needs us logging in every week. With a rollover SP system, imagine how many people they'd lose every time they released a new patch. Heavies would have disappeared with Uprising, Scouts with 1.4 etc etc.
Losing SP is the withdrawal symptom of Dust. Without that threat, players are one step closer to never returning at all.
No.
