CCP I HAVE A REQUEST Attention

If we destroy more than 1 million clones do we get more free SP?

ie 2 million clones = 2million SP?

I see quite a few people asking about this and don't mind setting a stretch goal for 2 million.

However, the intent of this event is to set a goal for the community that is realistic and achievable without a lot of time commitment. If we start raising that bar, then it starts the slippery slope towards the grind and that would be my main concern.

I for one welcomes this challenge, and do not believe that it will be a grind as there are staged tiers so you have the choice if you want to carry on playing or not.

What is everyone's thoughts, Should cmdr wang open it up to the two million mark Question

My vote is yes Attention

I agree with Commander Wang as not wanting to make this a grind fest as I know the community has angered in the past when the challenges are too grindy. However, I could get behind the idea that: For every 250,000 clones killed, each active player will get 250,000 SP. No need to limit it, let the community figure out how much they want to contribute and grind... win win for all *Faction Channels for FW Staging* PIE Ground Control \| Caldari Hierarchy \| Turalyon \| Chosen Matari

Thinking about all this potential SP gain is making my mouth water. Sweet, delicious SP. Come on Commander Wang. Give me the SP.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 10954	Posted - 2014.03.12 18:25:00 - [13] - Quote It might not be achieved, but if it's stated that it's a stretch goal it'd be something really nice to try for. We might not make it, but if we do it'd be a really nice way to lead up to 1.8. Especially as dropsuit upgrades isn't being refunded. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Other events were "grindy" because we had a stated finish line that was, for most players, a reach. If we just remove the finish line to see how far we can go, it's not a grind, it's a challenge.

I'm open to the idea of setting a stretch goal too. :) Glad to see you guys are taking the constructive ~~whining~~ criticism into account, I got a bit sick of "forcing" myself to use heavies at around 200 kills and gave up on ever touching that sweet, sweet 750ksp I think the thing about the skillpoint grind factor is, if we're offered skillpoints based on our individual performance in an event and we don't reach the stated cap, we're more likely to be upset about the amount of skillpoints we personally failed to get than the bonus we did get. Sure, maybe a sane, rational person would look at it like "well I didn't get the max possible skillpoint payout for participating in this event but I got some which is nice", but you know. It's us you're dealing with. The thing about this event is the burden of "winning" it isn't on the individual player trying to reach a large goal like 1000 kills with a heavy, its shared by the whole community. I think that's nice. Whether we reach 250k kills or a million I won't feel like I personally failed to dedicate enough playtime or effort. I don't think adding any number of stretch goals that you're comfortable with giving without screwing up your player progression plans is going to result in much whining I think I'm going to have fun this weekend. Maybe you could try a hybrid of this total community effort skillpoint reward system and individual item rewards for individual player kills for a future event?

If it is possible to expand the parameters and make further benchmarks at 1.5 and 2 that would be great. It's okay if we fail, but many would like to see how far we can go. 2 mil clones.
