I just want to touch on a point I think this entire thread is missing.
This is a sandbox game. You must interact with others. I know the full potential of the sandbox element hasnt been reached at this point. We dont have a real market and whatnot. In any case, youre supposed to be squadding with people and not taking on the entire team by yourself.
Individual SP are nice and do help. Squads and tactics help exponentially. Ive experienced this within the Cal/Gal FW matches time and time again. Being in squads helped me to get my nearly level 6 standing with Caldari, not my SP.
The point is to make good contacts with people you enjoy playing this game with. I feel like choosing a faction to fight for exclusively gives you both a goal and people interested in the same fight.
The point is to win the war, not grind out your cap every week. I personally feel like I was competing the whole time, regardless of my SP. Fighting the Gals I maintained a +1 kdr and had wins against proto squads when we were squadding up. Even use my nova knives on their incapacitated proto clones. It brings me joy.
Just get with a good group of guys and be effective but most importantly have fun. This is a game. If you cant do that without the SP this game is clearly not for you.
(But it might be in a year and a half)

I need to keep the polite thread a-rockin'. Another thing that was touched on was the cost. Everything comes down to money.
Hypothetical situation. Say you have 1 or 2 hours a week to play. You bought your 10 mil SP and can use a full proto suit. Im not sure how much they cost, Im assuming above the 100,000 isk mark. Lets just say 100k for this point. You would have to grind out ambushes with your garbage suits, 1 ambush per 1-2 suits. An ambush takes 6-10 minutes not counting fatal errors and disconnects.
So you get 10 proto suits after an hour to play with, then you get your big match and could potentially lose them all. Im assuming you wont save your protos because the whole point is to use them.
Is that worth it?

Can't let this die... Anyways, while playing my WoT I thought of something. Well I didn't so much think of it myself but kinda just stole the idea.
Im assuming Clone is too cheap to pay for aurum now but wants to supplement his SP gain. So I have an idea, not related to the OP or the name calling.
A daily SP bonus for your first match/win. So players who don't play often get a little kick for their one match of the day. This wouldn't bother any players because everyone gets it. People who still play longer will still have more SP gain.. etc. So relatively everyone stays at the same level and those who play less often get a slight boost.
*fancy words and insults regarding your extreme right or left wing actions*
Cheers, eh.

Yeah, I think the daily bonus might be the best petition for those strapped for time. CloneD doesnt seem too worried about other peoples SP levels relative to his own, so a bit more incentive for playing once a day to get more SP might be wise.
The log in bonus is nice and all but we need incentives to bring activity.
