What is the cap currently, 1200? 1500?
In my very first game, i went 1v1 with another new guy, with something like 2/4 and 300 wp. After 2 similar games i was kicked to PUB.
A month later i built an alt because i'd completely stuffed up my SP as i didn't know what i was doing....
First (and only) match: 15/5 1600wp, before being kicked back into PUB.
I'd gotten better obviously, but as a result i was looking at starting fresh slightly weaker stat-wise.
Pointless story, i scrapped the alt and went back to my original character, bad sp allocation and all.
I would kind of like the cap to be SP based personally, rather than WP. |

Maybe more in-depth than just an either-or might be better...
At entry level WP is earned solely by kills and hacks, so maybe an equation that works out a players ability/rate of improvement?
Edit: For example, it took me quite a long time to get used to the the scale in Dust. Every other shooter i've played has been more CQC orientated. Maps were smaller, other characters on screen were larger etc.
If the cap were based on more variables, better players would adapt and advance faster, while perma-noobs like me would probably still be in the academy where we belong. :p
The problem is figuring out how to track those variables... Straight K/D, WP isn't enough. |

the sp based system wouldn't work because of passive and augmentations. WP are only earned when you kill, hack, supply, spawn support, or heal. this requires in game play that gives you experience.
Yeah, it's too simple, like the cap is now. But then i started wondering how SP was calculated, and whether the stats used to calculate it could be bent to another purpose. :)
I was kind of thinking all players should get the option of a free respec at 2.5 or 5mil sp anyway... Eve players get a couple baked in at character creation and can earn/buy more. Lucky buggers.  |

Ah, i was under the impression "remap" was to "respec", what "burro" is to "donkey"...
My bad. :) |
