How would you like to see it work?
What can CCP do to monetize rollover SP without adding a pay-to-win scheme?
Should nublets be granted the privilege to grind to the SP values of top vets, or just to a certain value?
Was CCP Nothin fired for speaking on the topic of rollover SP?
Why does this game need to be a second job if I want to keep up?
Who decided that this current system was good enough to keep in place for so long?

Now, in regard to the weekly skill cap and the implications of it:

We acknowledge that the current implementation of the skill cap still isn't quite there yet. It doesn't quite allow people to choose when to play as freely as we would like, and it also adds some unnecessary complexity when it comes to using active boosters. This is why we are working our way towards a rollover SP system: instead having your pool of bonus SP being reset according to a fixed weekly cycle, you will steadily accumulate bonus SP to a pool over time that you can then empty through fighting in battles. As a result, everyone should be able to better choose when to come in and claim the available SP. Moving to such a system would have the added benefit of allowing us to make active boosters to give out a constant value over time by having them influence the rate at which SP accumulates into the pool instead of just multiplying SP received at the end of each battle.

The quote comes from the link in my sig, and shall be my battle cry. If you agree with me, I ask that you do not like this post. I don't want it to be seen as a like farm. I want it to be a message to CCP that a video game should not be a second job to keep pace with others, and I should decide when I want to play.

IF YOU AGREE, DO NOT LIKE THIS POST. POST IN THE THREAD INSTEAD, EVEN IF IT'S JUST "+1".

Troll post.

You've been around longer then i have. You know as well as any Vet the reason they haven't added in the rollover system was because it became completely borked due to the booster multipliers, and they haven't figured out how to address the issue.

I know this from the multiple threads that have popped up over the past year and a half, asking what happened to it, with the DEVS responding with the above answer.

You enjoy farming likes more then playing the game, don't you?

You enjoy farming likes more then playing the game, don't you? That was before Devs changed boosters so that they don't increase cap. Now, with the boosters being a simple SP. multiplier instead of screwing with cap, it'd be way easier to implement a rollover system. A simple rollover of up to 3 weeks worth of cap would make everyone happy, and not screw things up for everyone. Pretty much everything CCP said pre-uprising is irrelevant and untrue at this point, so stop defending CCP's outmoded position and get with the program. You can still get two weeks worth of cap on a 7 day booster, is that broken? No, so I don't see why it would be any other way. And besides, pig is specifically asking for ways for CCP to monetize it without being P2W, and I don't think boosters will even be necessary by the time we get SP rollover. +1 OP, ignore this insolent scrublet Closed Beta Vet since May, 2012 TEST Alliance Best Alliance Proud owner of essentially every BPO in Dust
