If it drops after the release of the rifles, this is going to confirm my theory that SP events are only used for two things; booster marketing and gathering data on new patches.
Man, we need a test server. |

F-fun? Rewarding players for being such a loyal fanbase?!
I just want to be loved, not bribed with SP that has no meaning. :( |

well first, when else would you expect the devs to release an sp event? of course they would do it with the release of an expansion, aside from that though the last triple event was placed in the middle of a month for no reason at all, and was actually announced after the sale of omegas, at which point if they had of sold them at the same time the omegas would of likely sold a lot better.
end of story they do them randomly and you give their marketing department far to much credit to actually coincide these events with sales on purpose. |

CCP will love you, but their love comes with a price. You spend aurum and they love you all night.

If you read the blog, the next one will be a 5x WP, with a 3x bonus pool. They expect us to cap after about 20 hours instead of the 30+ it took last time.
There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

sp after new patches is logical....
It doesn't prove anything. If I was a game dev, I would want for the same thing. If I was a logical player, I would also like the same thing.
Yes, It was me.

I think if you look at the history of the storefront, you'll see a pattern. People who bought Omegas knew exactly to save them. Selling Omegas during SP multiplier event would have interfered with the sales of their typical boosters that, while cheaper, will sell better. People would have bought Omegas but at the potential sacrifice of not buying normal boosters for a while, which would cut into their margin.
This way, they sold Omegas fairly well and then turned around and sold their boosters at a regular rate. Booster sales typically happen after the multiplier event. |

The problem is that they gather data and leave the mechanics 'broken' after it is discovered, sometimes for a significant period.
What I was implying; test server runs, smooth out bugs found thanks to the stress testing done within the server, release patch, event, stress test, smooth out fewer bugs. |

Not going to happen. Not ever. Sony doesn't allow it. And why should they? A test build can easily blow some PS3s. |
