It's about knowing that the feeling we used to get - and I honestly still get - when WE were new players... that vets were to be respected and that one day you could EARN that respect yourself... that feeling will no longer exist in Dust.
There will be no more diversity. No more will you be in awe at a good Caldari Commando sniper, or a committed Minmatar Scout.
No matter what niche you filled prior to 1.9, you will just be another one of the many.
It felt good to be one of the few. To have truly earned your place through hard work and careful use of SP boosters.
Not just stack 3 of them and cheese your way to upwards of 2 million SP in a week, for a very small fee.
This song used to be an icon of how it felt to have achieved greatness in Dust. Now it will just be a faded memory.
Dust? No, this is AUR514 now.

Being a veteran has nothing to do with a number.
Not sure what point you're trying to make here. For me it's not about the numbers. It's about having ALL your dropsuit upgrades maxed, so you're just that much better, faster, and stronger. It's about feeling a sense of accomplishment becoming, for example, a Gallente Logi. I was very proud of this because hardly anyone else was willing to choose that race. Not anymore.

my verdict
the "vet respect" is still there (if such a thing existed in the first place as vets would just roflstomp newbros who are in mlt suits anyway and cause newbros to leave dust and not play again) but this is more about helping newbros get up to speed and also rewarding vets so i see it as Win Win
but it devalues each role. you used to be a unique person on the battlefield if you chose something and stuck with it.
all the SP boost means for vets is that the roles we haven't skilled into yet are that much less important.

Rattati said there will be Post-Level 5 Content. More SP? Extra content requiring obscene amounts of SP? Makes sense.
Forgot about that. You may have a point there.

good players will still be good, noobs will still be noobs, just into ill fitted proto suit quicker.
but the SP is too quick. 8 times faster than before with an omega? that's insane.

You're idiots because the vast majority of the people who don't come on this forum, yet have heard a lot about it, don't bother logging on because of the overwhelming amount of CCP fanboys - that's you people - and the pointless arguments that always wind up being won by said people.
TL;DR you forum warriors don't have a good reputation outside of the forums. Stop calling yourselves "the community" and realize the vast majority of the actual Dust community doesn't even log onto this forum.

Again, twice the current cap would put the new players in a really good place SP wise.
Quadruple the normal cap completely undermines the hard work ANYONE has done before 1.9 not just the vets.
I want to see the NPE improve as much as anybody. However this is overkill.
