there is no grind, unless you make it one.
So what you're telling us is that you play more matches normally than the reasonable folks who feel like they're grinding...
I'm just going to say this about the event: anything that leaves an entire player base feeling exhausted rather than feeling like they had a good time... is probably something that should be tweaked before it sees daylight again.

I didn't. I finished the week with 300k SP left to cap, and I'm A-OK with what I got.
That said, there were plenty of good suggestions on the forum for ways to prevent AFK abuse without wearing our the general public. (Increasing SP cap by 2x, but WP SP in match by 6x for instance. Wish I knew which player to attribute that excellent idea.)
Making the experience rewarding for the general base gets CCP more love than rewarding the hardcore only. I just hope the devs took some notes.
But yeah... I'm probably just being a standard cynical Forum Warrior here. Any extra SP is good SP.

Except it didn't. It increased the amount of time needed to hit the cap by 5-10 times, depending on whether you're an efficient pub-stomper or not. The grind was much longer and less rewarding for newer and non-hardcore players, people I'd argue could use the SP the most. It would have benefitted everyone equally only if CCP did a simple multiplier, not make the bonus for WP only.
Now, if the goal was "reward our best players for being our best players," I suppose it worked. But I think SP events should be engineered to help out the people on the low-end of the SP totem pole the most, or at the very least not penalize them by making them have to grind harder than pros. But I can see how that's hard to do while trying to avoid AFK farmers.
I just hope CCP keeps experimenting with the bonus SP event model until they get something solid all around. I know they're capable of it.
