Rattatti either forgot or didn't know that Boosters don't increase SP gained from the cap but instead provide additional SP that has nothing to do with the cap. The idea was "Hey, players can triple stack their boosters to cap out MUCH faster. Let's triple the SP to let the newer player move in a bit."
Naturally, if you allow Triple Stack Boosters that let you get into making 3 million SP a week you have gone into a serious problem. Further into the thread, it is revealed that the CPM and CCP will probably be talking about changing boosters to ONLY allow you to cap out faster. The thinking being "New players can get into things faster each week", "Not everyone will hit the 750k cap a week", and "people that want help hitting the cap will get a Booster to hit the cap." This has the benefit of saying that everyone has the same capability of SP whether they spend 30 dollars a month or not a penny.
But it is still shocking that no one on the CPM raised their hand and said "Are we really going to give out 3 million SP a week?" or informed Rattati how Boosters work. Even worse is that the forums were going crazy over the change and no Dev chimed in on it to avoid the confusion rather than electing to remove it from the patch notes and come back with a "so I massively f***ed up" apology post.
so what ratatti said when he put a post out explaining what happened he did state that he thought booster made you cap faster until right before 1.9 was to be put out because another dev told him that it added to the pool basically. So he did the math and hesaid with triple stacked omegas (actives and passives) with the instant booster bonuses (because they are stacked on top of the original actives) that a player could get 6 million sp per week if they capped. That is the reason the 750k sp was ninja removed.
Tl;Dr rattatti was ignorant to how boosters actually worked because no one actually told him until right before 1.9 was to be released. Its not his fault is all im saying it more falls on the other devs and the cpm to tell him about these things before people flipthe **** out.
