You should never FORCE your players to play your game. Many of us won't out of spite, others won't because they have IRL obligations, and still more know when they are being played and will go play something else...

No one forced you to do anything. You played Dust of your own volition.

I had a choice. Either play DUST now and get 2mil free SP, or not play and not get the SP. That's like saying 'HEY, you don't HAVE to kill that tank, but if you don't you will never cap. So yaknow, do whatever.' Not playing would forever deprive me of a large store of quick SP. If there were something, anything else more pressing, I would have done that instead. Having an event at all is not an excuse for making said event a grindy slog.

Furthermore, there was no ingame measure of my gameplay. I had no idea if those matches when I came in late counted, nor did I know if crashing out invalidated a game from the counter. There NEEDS to be a visual readout for events like, for example, Warframe or Planetside 2, which have progress bars whenever an event happens. We know exactly what the game knows, and we don't have to assume that this counted and this didn't.

IrishWebster Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 175	Posted - 2014.03.19 23:23:00 - [32] - Quote Paran Tadec wrote: Anyone? Apparently playing a couple hours each night wasnt enough to get 10 games in... At least you could play at all. I have to wait a number of months before I can play with the suit I've been waiting ages for (the Gally heavy). FOBs aren't exactly known for their amazing internet services. I could only afford three months or so of passive boosters before I was deployed, so neither can I bet on having a ton of unallocated SP waiting for me when I get home. So enjoy the time that you have to play, because even though you didn't get your extra million or so SP, I would LOVE to play and just can't. Shoot some virtual mercs for me. Maybe I'll get to catch up when I get home. Lol

CCP made that statement and it was repeated by forum members several times. And I would imagine that you had to play the full game instead of just jumping into a game and then jumping out later. All you have to do is screenshot the games you played, send in a ticket and see what can be worked out for you. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?

No man. If you activate a booster, it would have boosted your gain. You still get the SP no matter what. If you wanted extra, ya know like you do regularly in game if you choose to, you would have activated it and instead of just two you would have gotten three mil SP. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.
