Full disclosure: multiple people in GD have said that SP payouts seem to be lower. I realize that. CCP Rattati has even commented on it not being intended so I recognize this was not intentionally done by CCP.
I'm receiving the same SP payouts from matches. Not seeing any changes really. I average in the top 5 on the EoM screen. I run domination and skirmish 95% of the time. No active boosters running right now.
What is everyone running? Where do you fall on the EoM screen? How much of a drop have you noticed? Are you in a squad or soloing?
I'm just curious.
My advice to you, playa...

most of my gameplay is solo but i help the team as a logi. mostly people run bpo to proto, EOM is lower half of the team now and not only lower sp but the isk even when i do amazingly and reclaim my MVP spot for supreme loginess the isk is like 1/3 lower then it used to be
Wow. Running logi and placing that low is strange to say the least. Do you blame the reduction in SP payouts primarily on the needle changes or it is something more than that?
For background purposes, I run assault with drop uplinks or needles primarily. Occasionally I run Caldari logi with nanohives. I am in a squad far more often than I am soloing.
Side note: if you ever need a squad shoot me a mail.

as a logi and with the stupidly restrictive SP cap on reptools, which might i add seems to have been lowered even more! i would prop up my WPs between reptool WP CAP cooldowns by sticking people with needles The needle changes prevent people from getting trolled, which I have to admit I'm pretty happy about. Would increasing the amount of WP's earned with needles help? 60 -> 75 maybe?
As for the rep tools' WP cap reduction, I have no idea. I don't fit them.
CCP Rattati and/or Logibro,
Any ninja changes to the repair tool WP cap?

1,160 WP. Full domination game, say 10 minutes conservative. Less than 3,700 SP (maybe even 2,800 as I only remember the WP). 1,160 x 2 = 2,320 SP. 3,700 - 2,320 = 1,380 / 5 = 276 seconds, or less than 5 minutes. Should have been around 3,000 for time (at least) + 2,320 for WP. Something is definitely up with me. I saw those kinds of numbers in a few games and with my internet being really slow that night I decided to call it quits when I saw the Frustration was beating Entertainment and Rewards.
All things working as intended...
(10 minutes * 60 seconds) = 600 seconds (600 seconds * 5 WPs) = 3000 SP (3000 SP + 1160 SP) = 4160 WP awarded pre-1.9
(10 minutes * 60 seconds) = 600 seconds (600 seconds * 5 WPs) = 3000 SP (1160 WP * 2) = 2320 SP (3000 SP + 2320 SP) = 5320 WP awarded post-1.9
...yeah... that's very wrong.
Then why aren't my SP rewards decreasing? Is it intermittently effecting matches? Does my brain have too much dumb to math?

Instead, it sounds like a defect in how WP's are being calculated/awarded for rep tools.
