Iron Wolf Saber, I believe it your OP comes down to who is the target audience for this. If "I" am your target, then I will respond to. As you have already opened the discussion of, I think there are other factors to consider to "blend" with the idea of.
I am a new guy to the game. Been playing since early September. The "grind" to actually be equipped enough to compete and contribute to vets is gruesome. At only 5mil sp in 7 weeks has been daunting. I am just getting to a point that I feel some what confident going into battle with out my ass getting handed to me. I am just starting to close in, break even in my KDR. I am a Scout hacker uplink sniper / counter sniper 99.7% of the time.
In regards to SP, SP bonus. My pattern has been Wednesday morning to Friday (usually) grind it all down to zero when I get to play in that time frame of days. But it is usually exhausted by Friday evening. After the bonus is depleted, I just casually jump on when I "feel" like it. No more incentive to meat grind till next Wednesday.
As a new guy, an SP bonus roll over would allow me to spread it out. Not worry about capping it out in due time. But I will always grind it down, because i want to be equipped just as good as the other guy.
I think, (and just seeing what is offered in promotions), SP boosters of different levels, %, that players can purchase to accelerate, add to SP would certainly benefit a target like me. I plan on purchasing the omega SP booster just to get more SP than I can already get.
I understand that seasoned players, Vets, etc. want the grind be the grind for the new people. I would too if I had 20mil SP and can do whatever I want to spec into. I understand. I understand the Vets want me to earn it, just like they did. I get it. But, that is also a double edge sword. Vets with the haves , newberries with the havenots, and expect to play together on the same playing field.
On top of that, CCP needs coin to run this game. It is a business. A business to make money. There will be tit for tat implemented to retain players, attract new players, appease the vet players. That is a tough balance. I see it all the time here on the forum and in game.
So, I am CCP's focus and current target audience. I have expendable cash. I will gladly spend it, in return I will be entertained in my own spare, free time as I see fit. I would gladly pay for~ A respec Omega type SP boosters at various % tiers weapons ( I do already) weapons parts (scopes, barrels, triggers, bipods, etc.) gadgets (I do already) Personalized suit gadgets (cloaks, jump boots, deflectors, etc.) Personalized suits that level up as I do. (camo, slots, gadgets)
sorry, just rambling... off the cuff. I am not good at this kind of thing. But, at this point of me in this game, I am starting to feel passionate about it as my investment in time, currency, enjoyment continues to enthrall in this game.
SP roll over? For me, a new guy, that can use a lil help in regards of? sure. I'll take all the help I can get. I like this game. I'm in. :)
blah, rant over. o7
