Based on comment CCP Rattati made about Active Boosters and what if it was per battle. You can read other feedback here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2722115#post2722115
With that in mind. Can you take the following survey about the type of booster you would like:
http://strawpoll.me/4115214
Additional questions if you would like to answer:
- Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
- Have you ever purchased an active booster?
- Have you ever used an active booster?
- What do you think about active boosters?

What about number of Battles?

Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
I am not. Why? Because life happens. Sometimes I will only play a single match a night for a couple weeks because of work or family. I am not getting my best bang for my buck when I buy active boosters.
Have you ever purchased an active booster?
Yes. 1 or 3 day varieties.
Have you ever used an active booster?
Yes.
What do you think about active boosters?
They are useful for short events or marathoning Dust one weekend. I have no idea why anyone would buy the 7 and 30 day boosters though.

Depends on my needs. If I were still in high school, I would say the time one because I'd be able to get as many as I could during a weekend or break.
As an adult, I'd say the battles one. Currently, I have a lot of my plate and a seemingly free weekend may turn into something else all of a sudden.
Conclusion: Battle Boosters
Edit: I have purchased and used active boosters, yes. I haven't bought one recently, and I still have a few leftover which include a few omega. The only one I really use are the passive boosters if I have them since they don't require my attention. |

How about a time based "X" battle amount booster.
So it's still the same as it is now, but it's capped at how many battles you are able to do before its gone?

Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
I never do unless it there is an event or a sale on Omegas. I stock up on omegas during the sale, then use on events.
Have you ever purchased an active booster?
Yes, Omegas only.
Have you ever used an active booster?
Yes during events, or on the rare occasion i'm home for a weekend alone feel like crushing Dust all day.
What do you think about active boosters?
I think they are ok, but the fact that myself and i'm sure other players, i don't know if i will have time to play when I get home, so when I activate an ACTIVE booster, I better be home to get my money's worth. Because of this, I avoid them. Not worth the risk..

Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
Yes- although FW LP boosters. Because grinding LP takes forever
Have you ever purchased an active booster?
Other than FW, not directly, although they have been included in Aurum packs I've bought.
Have you ever used an active booster?
Yes
What do you think about active boosters?
Once you get used to the extra SP, losing the bonus they provide is disappointing.

Until they fix our Scotty-inflicted geworfenheit, a win/loss condition doesn't solve the problem with a battle booster. At the moment, I'd prefer a fixed SP amount, so I'd know what I was getting for my money. Maybe different tiers, like 50/75/100% Cap.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

With the current boosters quitting before the end forfeits the sp and isk gain only - with an X matches booster quitting still forfeits isk and sp but saves a boosted game for a better boosting opportunity. Maybe I'm wrong but folks go a long way to maximise efficiency and anything that encourages quitting matches should be considered very carefully. |

use to buy 30day active and passive (kinda waste of money with the old cap) now would only buy 1day active to use as needed much more effective. at over 60 million sp do I need to boost ? (do you even lift bro?)

Only boosters I still use occasionally are faction boosters. No need for SP. I will say this:is there any reason why we can't have time based boosters and battle based boosters? So if you feel your going to be on a bunch get time based, if you're not get battle based.

Yes. Life.

Yes

Yes

6 million is a lot of sp in one week. Realistically only try hards with little to no life will use it to their advantage. I personally don't care. Maybe 2 active boosters max.
New slot if new type of booster comes out.
And can we please kill the orange bubble asking is to spend money on this game. I will spend money if I want to. Maybe make that a feature for new players only. I will pay to not have that bubble in my face. Please remove the orange notification bubble. |

1.Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
No. I don't even know what to do with the SP I already have
2.Have you ever purchased an active booster?
Yes
3. Have you ever used an active booster?
No, I just like to look at them... OF COURSE I HAVE
4. What do you think about active boosters?
I'm on to CCP. Active boosters make me want to play 24/7 while they're active. But I like my semi-casual gamer attitude.

Are you currently purchasing active boosters? why or why not?
I have in the past when I had more dedicated time to focus to Dust for large chunks of play. However due to life situation I often cannot dedicate enough time reliably to make active boosters be worth it. I could purchase 1 days boosts but even then its difficult to justify the price for the benefit, and I much prefer to buy in bulk to get bulk discounts, but again I often cannot play in a reliable enough manner to justify a time-based Booster.
Have you ever purchased an active booster?
Yes. Both normal and omega, but not anymore.
Have you ever used an active booster?
I will use the ones I get from boxes/daily rewards.
What do you think about active boosters?
I would much prefer something that is not time-based, may it be total bonus SP or battle linked.
On the topic of concerns over battle-based boosters and backing out/disconnects....one way you could reliably handle it are "Instant Booster Credits" where you can purchase Instant Boosters with AUR that can be used at your leisure. This means that the bonus is only applied upon completion of the match on the EOM screen, and would allow players flexibility (ie not wanting to use a booster on a battle that was not very SP rich). Obviously the big difference between this and what currently have (buying them a la carte) is that you could buy in bulk and get a discount per booster that way.
Costco Boosters are Best Boosters.

1. No. Real life job - hate wasting it when I know i can't put time enough in to make it worth it.
2. Yes. No job - but some money.
3. Yes.
4. Wasted on my current RL situation.
