they raised the weekly allowance so people dont have to play alts after 2 to 3 days of playing their mains..
and the fact that we will be getting Loyalty levels with increasing multipliers on isk/SP at the end of a match the 700k+ cap seems fair as i can predict some of the hardcore vets will already be at high end if not maxed out on Loyalty rank multiplier bonuses meaning 1 "average match" pre 1.9 may net them up to 5k sp, but in 1.9 with the multipliers it may net them 20k sp or something.

this is true about the Loyalty rank multiplier and I didn't take that into account. though that means that newer players will have to work harder to catch up to that bonus. and btw sorry I type very fast and before I know it I've typed a whole essay. Roll

Length of post is not what they are complaining about. All in one solid paragraph is. Break up your text with line breaks next time. Gives the reader a moment to pause and reflect on smaller portions of the text.

CCP ought to bear in mind that those with money to triple stack boosters will earn 2.25 million SP each week, which means they will max everything so fast that the game will get boring quicker with nothing else to save up/work for. I would recommend either not raising the cap so much or not allowing triple stacked boosters; having both is overboard. that is probably my only complaint about the new patch though, as the rest of the changes sound quite good. the 'respec for aurum' was a good idea I had talked about for a while. I'm sure the community could start a thread of ideas for CCP to make money through purchases while avoiding the "pay-to-win" aspect as much as possible.

Protosomps are about to eat the biggest nerf possible by boosting SP gains well on that note I suppose everyone will have their proto soon enough. The only issue will be who has the ISK to run it all day in pubs and who doesn't...

Magewarlord Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 54	Posted - 2014.11.01 08:43:00 - [7] - Quote of course my issue is not that newbie scrubs will be able to catch up faster, but rather the opposite; that the no-lifers and veterans will get even further ahead of the pack, making things more lop-sided. hopefully I'm wrong. I do fine myself, but I hate seeing blue dots getting stomped cuz I'd hate for them to get angry and quit playing.
