Yes, I'm with you on that one Motoko (not that I was ever against you), I believe that advertising an item that doesn't work to maximum effectiveness "all the time" is not right. At the very least I'd expect the Boosters to have info on how the "Bonus Skillpoint Cap" works and how it resets, to give people an idea that sometimes 3 day boosters is more effective. To be honest I prefer the 30 day ones, activate it on Wednesdays and you get 5 weeks worth of bonus SP, it's way more cost effective than spanning 5x "3 day boosters" to last 5 weeks. However I don't stack my 30 day ones, I merely activate them on wednesdays. Also I sometimes wait for sales e.g. 50% off on 30 day boosters.
Once in a while the Omega boosters pop up which gives 2x the sp gain instead of 1.5x. So these can be pretty amazing for events, next week for example you could activate your 3 day omega for about 1,140,000 sp.
Back in the days "Bonus Skillpoints" used to be infinite - like, restarting every day, but they changed that, and as far as I can recall, CCP is still considering changes to the SP gain system? |

If you play 20 extra games per week after capping and hit the 1,000 wp maximum, you will gain an extra 10,000 SP per week with an active booster. If you play more than obviously you would earn more, but an extra 500 sp per game after capping does add up over time.
Exactly, I prefer the 30 day boosters since not only is it more cost effective, but because it also allows you to gain more skill points in between the "Bonus SP". 1,500 may not mean much but when you do 20 games a day, you'd get 30,000sp. Now since you cap in two days, the rest of the 5 days you could get 150,000 sp - However that may be quite an effort. |

The price is the same compared to buying a 30 day Passive and buying four 3-day boosters to cap a month. If you don't want to run Passives, 3 days boosters have the least 'waste' if you can cap out in two or three days.
SP Rollover needs to happen. It will make the longer Active boosters more useful in the end.
You are right, that's exactly what I do. |
