It's got an air of believability with the "I'm a grown up with grown up things to do!" line of reasoning and he takes time to reply to nearly every comment. 6 out of 10 troll only because P2W trolls are clich+¬.

The community resists the idea. I respect that. Not a troll. Simply a heart felt request stemming from my own personal values that do not reflect the values of the majority. Our dialog has ended. Majority rules. I can abide. Peace In the extremely unlikely event that you are not a troll, let me ask you a serious question: did you really think anyone would go for this? You are asking thousands of people who have spent hundreds of hours playing Dust to allow someone to essentially pay a few bucks to instantaneously equal them in hard-earned SP. All because they have grown up problems... Here's a fun fact Clone D, we all do. We're parents, we work full time (sometimes multiple jobs), we have significant others, take care of a home, and still manage to win matches. I don't cap out every week, but I do occasionally and I work 50 - 55 hours a week myself. If you want to buy SP then buy active and passive SP boosters. I notice my SP gains skyrocket when I started using active boosters, and passive boosters are just gravy. Login every day, even for a minute or two, for that sweet 6,000 daily consecutive log in bonus. One final thought before I leave you: having more SP =/= I win button. I routinely kill prototype suits in a STD fitting. Run with a squad of corpmates and your chances of stomping, even in MIL gear, exponentially increase. For poops and laughs my corp ran an all MIL fit night. We went 6-1 in public contracts. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley

Good plan. 1.5 years may not be long enough though. By then the people who play the game 2 - 4 times a week will have earned even more SP so you will be that much rather behind. I'd wait 3 years... oh damn, I just realized by then we will have earned EVEN MORE SP Better stay gone for 4.5 years... OH NO, we will have tremendous amounts of SP by then!!! You should probably come back in 6 years... "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley

I'm sure that will be plenty regardless of how much time you grind between now and then. A corpmate of mine got all of the skills in the Dropsuit Upgrades tree to V inside of two months... that's with some SP spent on combat rifles... 1.5 years is vastly over estimating the time it takes to get core skills to V. Have your considered the possibility that you are just bad at this game? "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley

I hear what you are saying, but... have you considered it? I have recruited friends of mine to play Dust 514 very recently. They come from everything from WoW, TF2, CoD, BF, to Eve. Some of them are terrible at games of the FPS variety; they complain about low SP being this massive hurdle to overcome and bellyache about not being able to fit X, Y, or Z. Meanwhile, the fellows that are veteran FPS players are having a ball. I help them with their fits so I know what they are using: their tanking modules are usually STD, weapons are STD or ADV, and everything else is MIL or STD. My point being they aren't running PRO by any means. Yet they still do well in matches and don't seem to mind being 10mil SP below me at all. You have indicated that games are not novel to you. You went on to say that you find it hard to justify the time it takes to play certain games like Dust. You also seem have problems striking a balance between being good at video games and good at life in general. Dust might be too taxing for you. I suggest something less stressful like macrame or water color painting. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley

We have that feature, you know. There have been countless threads on it and on each and every one of them the debate has always ended with people that are mostly (and vehemently) against it. See for yourself. http://dustsearch.com/ He can't be troubled with forums searches, he is a busy grown up. Can he pay some money to have you do it for him? "I need not food nor water.

We've managed to push it out to almost 9! You should be thrilled. @Maken On a serious note, have your ever considered the idea of allowing new players the ability to purchase Recruit boosters? Recruit boosters cost as much AUR as a passive booster, but provide a +100% passive SP boost instead of +50%. They last 30 days. Recruit boosters do not come in varieties shorter than 30 days. Cannot be stored, unlike typical boosters; they are used immediately after you purchase them. This will prevent people from making alts just to buy omegas and transfer them to their mains. They are only available for the first 30 days of a new player's career. Pros: New players will get a slow injection of SP spread out over several months Separates fools from their mon-I MEAN, provides an option for grown-ups with too many grown-up things to do Can you think of any cons?

It will give you something to reflect back on when you arrive at the conclusion that you have no true friends or self respect. You paint yourself as very enlightened then make personal attacks against posters who disagree with you. Back to the discussion at hand: have you learned your lesson that buying SP isn't something the community wants or needs? If so, I think we can go back to playing video games or whatever-the-hell Clone D does that is incredibly important. "I need not food nor water. Your tears alone sustain me." - Ripley Riley
