Let us earn passive sp please to help with the grinding process.

But remove passive sp in battle.

Make it so that players have to participate to earn xp.

Derp around all you want you aint getting anything.

Fight. Assist. Never go afk.

Ooooorah!

Another option to consider is something that is used in MMOs quite a bit, generally called "Rested XP"

You don't gain SP passively, but you do gain a sort of SP Bonus.

For example, you don't play for a period of time and you passively generate 100k in SP Bonus.

Now let's say you play for a while and actively generate 150k SP.

The first 100k SP you actively generate will consume the 100k in SP bonus you had built up, and give you a double SP Bonus, so you would consume all of the SP bonus, but gain 200k SP. The remaining 50k in active SP you earned won't receive the bonus since you've already consumed all of the SP Bonus.

So you final SP would be 250k

So the passive element doesn't just give you raw SP, but it does give you SP you can potentially earn at an accelerated rate. You could also put a cap on the maximum SP bonus you could store at a given time (perhaps it maxes out in 3 days) to encourage people to keep logging on to consume SP bonus and not let any of it be wasted by having it capped out.

Passive SP is not needed, players were alyways bending this rule by skilling extra alts to get easy accest to all profesions, without spending a $ on game.

In Nova, all we need is option to buy all/or packed of unlocks on day 1.

We tried that. I don't think it worked out in the end. Maybe for Eve Online but definitely not for Dust.

Removal of Passive SP in battle is confirmed.

They're unsure if Passive SP out of battle will remain or not.

I'm in favor of it remaining.
