I personally believe that Boosters will change to increasing the rate at which you cap but not allowing you to gain over that cap, as Rattati thought it worked. This allows people to get an advantage in effort required by spending money rather than just getting 'more better.' The grinder can grind it, the vet can ignore it because they already have everything they need/want, the new player can grind it or spend some money to do it a little bit faster, and the vet that needs to push for something can grind it or spend some money to do it a little bit faster.

Yeah, if triple stacking does stay I'd much rather boosters changed to work like this (then I'd never have to buy any ever again Big smile

), but I don't see that ever happening since people will QQ (quite rightly so) that they purchased 'X' boosters on the understanding that they would gain extra SP from them and thus want to be refunded.

Rattati brought up Triple Stacking boosters and the CPM went "okay, that's fine." Rattati, thinking that boosters only gave SP faster, thought "Because of the Triple Stacking Boosters, let's increase the cap to 750k." The CPM went "that seems fair." Of course, Rattati was mistaken how boosters worked. Instead of increasing SP gains from 190,400 to 750,000 and no more, he increased SP from 190,400 (285,600 if one booster) to 750,000 (1,875,000 with three boosters). Considering that people jumped on the new number with triple 30 day boosters waves it would be a massive d**k move to say "oops, it doesn't work like that. I made a mistake. Sorry." and screw over all those that bought into the game. So they set it up as "the number can stay for at least 30 days. We reserve the right to change it later with one weeks notice." The CPM believes that 750k a week is acceptable but most of them have a problem with Triple Stacking Boosters and post combat boosters. I personally believe that Boosters will change to increasing the rate at which you cap but not allowing you to gain over that cap, as Rattati thought it worked. This allows people to get an advantage in effort required by spending money rather than just getting 'more better.' The grinder can grind it, the vet can ignore it because they already have everything they need/want, the new player can grind it or spend some money to do it a little bit faster, and the vet that needs to push for something can grind it or spend some money to do it a little bit faster. However, everyone is probably so stuck on the needle that is 1.875 million SP a week that it is unlikely to change without a riot. Though I would not be surprised if Legion, assuming "it ever becomes a thing", would work in this manner. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Rattati made it very clear "We reserve the right to change it with one weeks notice" so the complaints would be written of by smug asshats. In truth, an announcement that they are changing in one month would be enough to again stem the complaints. Who knows? Hopefully the devs and CPM know because someone sure as hell better...
