I can understand it feeling like a kick in the nuts if you're really invested in the game, but just don't have the time to devote to it to always hit these caps. So it could possibly ultimately drive some players away. Which is bad.
That being said, I don't really see anything wrong with events being based around specific roles. That is, as long as they are varied and come frequently enough. Which I'm hoping to see start happening this year with all the racial parity, and as CCP gets back on to a regular schedule.
Oh, and I actually did the math myself when this event was announced. Except that I used 15 kills per match as my conservative estimate. Which would mean that as long as I average 8 matches a day where I average 15 kills a match, I'll hit the cap. And that's before even considering any heavies I also kill. So yea, overall I'm pretty happy with this event.

so that means it takes them twice as long to get the first portion of the event, and they cannot partake in the second event at all. not a very fair event....
But i'm still having fun :)
They removed the vehicle part from the event. You can only get points from kills now.

1) Yes it will take 1500 kills with heavy weapons to hit the cap (do note you have an error, killing a heavy with a heavy weapon is not combined 500 SP + 250 SP, it is just 500 SP), but you have two weeks to do this keep in mind.
2) You do not have to hit this event cap to benefit from it.
3) Let's say you get 10 HMG kills per match, that is 5000 SP extra per match. That is almost like a pure double SP event.
4) The potential SP possible from this event is 750k. Divide that over two weeks, it is 375k SP per week. If you cap the event, that is like two straight weeks of triple SP.
5) You only need to average 107 kills per day to cap the event
There's a few things to complain about this event, like the only viable heavy weapon to hit the cap is the HMG and general lack of heavy weapons and dropsuits, but I don't see any way you can complain about how they are handling the SP. In the past we've had double SP events but it'd only double your WP, so if you averaged 1000 WP a match you'd only get 1000 bonus SP. With this event if you average 10 kills you get 5000 bonus SP. I don't see how this is a step backwards. 1) Yes it will take 1500 kills with heavy weapons to hit the cap (do note you have an error, killing a heavy with a heavy weapon is not combined 500 SP + 250 SP, it is just 500 SP), but you have two weeks to do this keep in mind. ^ Source? Why wouldn't it count..?
What he said. Not sure where you got this from.

It's "use heavy stuff and get bonus sp"
Seriously, is your goal in this game to earn every single skill point possible? That's not what these events are about...it's just an incentive to use a certian playstyle, or a bonus for doing certain things. It's at such a high amount so that players that are hardcore players can earn bonus sp the entire time. You don't have to hit a certain amount. Then I don't think you fully understand the midset of eve players. (They are all about every single last SP.) And damn right too! I'm not sure if I would pick fault like Aeon has however I do sort of see his point. As for the guy near the beginning of the thread name calling with "Entitled brat". That is one of the biggest things that puts me off about this forum. Its great when we all discuss stuff but so many people are just down right rude on here. You don't even know these other people that you interact with on the forum. Show a modicum of respect! (Do they only teach respect in England or something these days?)
I was completely with you until the blatant nationalism at the end.
