Range Amplification 5? Yeah, that takes weeks to grind out. One minor skill.
Rapid Reload for one weapon? Weeks.
Fitting optimisation for one weapon? Weeks.
Want to max out explosives for a 3% CPU reduction? Weeks.

This isn't depth, this is terrible design.

2 months for a proto suit, ccp needs to do something

Yeah, they should make it longer than two months. Proto suits are the best suits in the game. Why would I want just anyone who's new to be able to jump into one quickly?

Because......the bonus isnt too big and someone who doesnt have one will never get one in 5.
And because you feel so helpless waiting all that time....you cant do anything with that sp

I skilled into Caldari Logistics to get it proto. Now that I have it, I find myself running around in a standard suit all the time. I don't even use Advanced suits anymore. Proto = PC to me (I don't even play in PCs either lol)

I give myself other goals, like raising my lolKD or gaining more ISK. Sooner or later we'll have options that'll distract us from the tediousness of the grind.

I guess it depends on how much time you have. I can cap out in one day since I work a 36h week, so the 1000 AUR 1 day booster is all I need. I bought a bunch of them when they were 50% off during the holidays. Now is the winter of our non-content.

I run proto all the time. I do not cheat, exploit, or take advantage of the ISK associated with PC farming. I simply have a large reserve of ISK earned through two refunds, six months of grinding in starter/BPO suits, and enough skill such that running proto all the time doesn't deplete my wallet -- I've hovered right around $100M ISK for months now.

When I do, I try to switch it up -- try a new suit configuration or a new weapon or a new suit entirely. Playing with friends and corpmates, and enjoying it, also takes from the feeling of grinding.

I stopped buying active boosters and let the SP slip away. GOD IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE NO SLAVE OF MY SP ANYMORE!!! And ones you have realizied how much it occupied your life you wonder yourself. And when you (like me) stopped with active boosters and you are not on top of weekly SP gain, it is easy to avoid f u c k i n g expensive omega boosters. And you archive so many benefits: * You save money * Your nerves thank you * More time to do nicer things.
