Why are we getting all this extra SP at the moment, The million clone event a few weeks back, making over 3 million, the sidearm showdown making another 75K, and next week the Accelerated SP week at 5 times normal rate.
I seem to recall CCP saying at the start of this game it would take 7 years to spec into everything, So why are we getting given all this SP,
not complaining but, Thoughts anyone.
Does this really keep people interested, at this rate the SP accumulated over 7 years would be close to 1/4 Billion, for what.

So us vets stop curb stomping newberries until CCP figures out how to fix NPE, although good and easy solutions have been proposed and their big bother EVE figured it out.
But its definitely not because they are gearing up, and buffing up, the player base for 05/14/14.
For the Federation!

Due to players cheating, they have decided to do a full reset.

An exercise in Diminishing Returns, I suspect ...
Primary roles maxed, subsequent SP disparity impacts outcomes by lesser degree. or example:
An "A-Team" of 30M SP mercs has huge upperhand against a team of 15M SP mercs.
An "A-Team" of 50M SP mercs has little upperhand against a team of 30M SP mercs.
The SP events are leveling the competitive playing field, so to speak.
Bang?

I think they finally figured out that the best way to keep a constant playerbase is to constantly reward them for trying out new things.
This makes it so that we'll spend that new sp on the gear we just used, and then need more sp for upgrading it, which means playing even more dust and more events, and the cycle continues.
Max sp you get from this event is 750k right? That's about as much as you need to proto a weapon (or sidearm), and also the amount that you need to get a suit to advanced (and the bonus for the event are suits that cost the advanced level suit to use, i.e. aur prototypes).
Personally, I really enjoy theese events. They encourage actually playing the game and trying out everything it has to offer instead of just running the same thing over and over, or AFKing in the MCC.
So yeah

duh it's been 6 year , so a few of the vets have almost maxed out everything and the corps that have amassed millions and billion of isk. i think but don't quote me on this. from what i seen in 09 and the new ps4. CCP might be getting ready to open up new eden to us next build. some of us who were around back in closed beta seen the vid from fanfest 09 . and like myself have been upset pissed and quit came back left again. http://youtu.be/ED-YF-v7WCw this is the vision we 've seen hoping it come to life. the reason i think all this sp is being given is because they are really close to delivering this to us and to have most of us ready . this is just my thinking I wish CCP Rouge would give a tiny glimpse . |

CCP said it has estimated it will take seven years to complete all currently available skill books you see now. But bare in mind that those are the skills we "currently" have available to train up. This is not including new skill books such as the recently added racial heavies and scouts as well as the new cloak. Then there are the pilot suits and remaining racial vehicles to consider. Let's also not forget the jet fighters we will get back that were pulled from testing during early beta. Then there is the resource gathering skills needed for jump starting industry. That will cause the time to max out everything to well beyond the first decade of the game even with SP events.

There is FW and PC. Those are not matchmaking solutions.
Until it is is released and functional there will be no matchmaking in Dust514. 
And so it goes.

I really do not know where your coming from or where you want to go with that comment. It has no purpose is a pure negative comment that has no evidence.

They are doing another SP event because SP grind is the only reason to play this game and it convinces people to buy boosters which is how they make their money.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Maybe this is there way to quell the infantry refund crowd .
It might work for me if they keep this up .
I don't like the oversaturation but I won't complain .
I don't wonder I just except .
Stop asking for tiercide , your killing variety and the fun of this game at the same dam time .

I think they're doing so many big SP events to get people logging in and paying attention so that we can all get hyped when they reveal the development roadmap at fanfest. |

I'm genuinely puzzled myself. Always though sp inflation of the existing playerbase was a bad thing, but obviously CCP doesn't share that view.
If this was beta i would say it was for testing reasons, e.g. CCP wanted to guage the adoption rate of more expensive gear as higher-tier skills were unlocked, and was trying to measure how isk-restricted mercs are.
But this isn't beta...unless it really still is. Smh, my lord, this situation is so fubared it makes me laugh/cry.
Alternative is they're trying to get the player numbers up. It appears to be working according to the graphs. Ofc we have to factor out the account-churners(activity here has prolly gone up due to recent publicity) and the afkers(how many peeps are on Oceania, anyways?).
If that's their motivation it's prolly related to wanting to have as big an active playerbase as possible when the fanfest build hits.
Ahhh CCP Shanghai, your greatest lasting contribution to the FPS genre so far is how many skeptics and cynics you've bred :/
I support SP rollover.

You're right. It won't last 7 years.
It will last 20.

Events give a reason for players to do different things. Same reason why WoW has BrewFest: variety in gameplay.
The problem is that the game is "just a FPS" and nothing else at the moment so they can't do events all that big yet. Perhaps when things get to be a bit bigger we will see events that are more in depth than "kill dudes with a Commando suit" or "kill dudes with a sidearm."
