I'm getting quite tired of taking three weeks to get one level of one minor skill. 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.

Hurry up and wait or buy gloriously overpriced SP boosters.

Meh. I stopped looking at it as purely a grind. When it's a grind it's tiresome work. 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.

Simply untrue. 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.

Back to the topic at hand.... I do find the grind boring occasionally. 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 the SP grind month ago. 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. |

If you play the game enough to get everything you want, then you might want to try taking a break and playing something else once in a while.
I have been playing for over a year and am only up around 17 million skill points on each of my characters. I donGÇÖt play enough to get burnt out. That is partially deliberate on my part. I want to stick with DUST for the long term, but I know that there is not enough content yet to keep people from getting burnt out if they play too much. So I try not to play too much. If it starts feeling like a grind I take a brake and read a book or something.

Anyway, just let it go!
Who cares if you leave 50k on the table this week? It's not like you don't have competitive gear at this point, or are some noob that needs more SP to survive. Relax, have a beer, play something else for a week and get some perspective. Don't turn it into a job.

I tired of grinding a very long time ago. I capped the week or two after 1.7 hit for the first time in months.
But after playing this game for as long as I have if I don't have it already I don't really need it.
There was a dev post that stated that they were looking at making it easier to skill into things like suits, so maybe if they reworked things enough bittervets like us can just have a bunch of SP freed up to finish off a bunch of skills.
I just really don't care anymore. Passive SP is enough for me.
Try to kill it all you want CCP, I still <3 my laser.

I'm a new player who can't catch up due to a single player skill system, district locking players, and a dev team that's more interested in AUR sales than making a good game. I play enough to max out 3 alts a week, and barely see forward progress.
Not that it matters, 1.8 will be the end of DUST, so it will be back to COD full time for me.

This isn't depth of meaningful progression, this is terrible design. You think Johnny Bluedot gets tired of your PRO stomping?
You think he gets tired of your tank stomping? Seeing as you demand proto AV to even scratch your paintwork.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Not that it matters, 1.8 will be the end of DUST, so it will be back to COD full time for me. Call of Duty? Maybe you should stay there.

Sadly, You don't have much of a choice. Yes, I do get strung out to be on the SP grind for one silly point investment. However, I only invest SP into what I think I can make extreme advances in or when I try something new.
On my SP tree, Say for equipment, I have my scanners at 1. Since I hate scanning, I'm no longer going to add anymore investments into it. (God knows there's enough people with scanners already.)
But, Just for the sake of conversation, I did want to increase my Scanner Operation. I never did invest any points into getting a level to 2 or 4 with equipment. Makes no sense seeing only few have percentage benefits & the tiers are: 1 -- Basic 3 -- ADV 5 -- Prototype
So, I would save up SP until I could reach the next tier.
I do, However, Understand SP grinding gets ridiculous for level 5 stats. It can take FOREVERRR.
You don't know my life! You don't know how many nanites to put in my cereal!
