Quit your whining.
a. You don't have to cap.
b. This event system rewards people for actually figuring out what contributes most and doing it. I capped on Friday after maybe 15 hours of play, regularly pulling in 20-25k+ (max was something like 32k) (regular boosted) SP per Domination match. That's barely more time than it takes to cap on a regular week. What's the secret? Actually working to help your team win. Uplinks, repair hives, regular hives, then slayer fits, I did it all and was rewarded appropriately. Get good, earn WP, cap out. You're not trying hard enough.

Are you kidding me. I pointed how the reward system is messed up and your answer was your a scrub, play harder, help your team win Shocked

. Are you F***** kidding me. I am upset because the reward system is broke and it needs to be fixed. For your information I do come in first and I do support my team. The problem is the reward system.

And I'm telling you it's not broken. I definitely received the 5x rewards in every match. If the reward system isn't broken, the only alternative is that you're not earning enough WP to see the full benefits.

EDIT: I'm not supporting the OP in case you're wondering. I'm neutral here when it comes to the events. I'm just saying that if there is a problem with the event, then it needs to be addressed so that it won't happen again in the future. The OP clearly stated he was helping his team but wasn't getting the reward he expected. You saying that the OP should "get good" is not helping in the conversation especially if the issue is not the OP but rather his team that isn't doing much.

This means you can't just join a game and go 1/7 with 350 warpoints and expect to earn much more SP than you would normally. You earn SP for being in battle (WP / sec. in battle) as well as WP earned. Normally you get 1 SP for 1 WP. In this event you get 5 SP for 1 WP. The reason this was put in place is because AFK farmers would sit in the MCC in Skirmishes and earn almost the same amount of SP during the 3x SP events. They changed it to this format a long time ago and it makes absolute sense. If you suck and can't earn more than 500 WP in a game then too bad for you. Now stop freaking out and get good. Ah, I completely forgot about that. But again, telling the player to get good when he was doing his best (which may or may not be enough) is still not helping the conversation. However, your explanation of the WP calculations did help with the conversation. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer Everything I know about the Caldari I learned at Nouvelle Rouvenor

I suppose that would be much better advise than just saying "get good" because "getting good" is too much of a broad term. Then again, so it "farm WP harder". My advise to the OP is utilize drop uplinks when possible. One way I go about it is to create at least two fits. One for deploying the maximum number of uplinks and then switching to my hacking suit and hack as many installations and objectives as possible. That's one way of doing it at least.

Kills can only go so far since they were 50 WP a pop. Hacking can net you about the same if you focus on installations and uplinks can give 25 WP per team assist and a rep tool about the same for guardian but they come in quickly compared to kills and they are guaranteed.
