First, let me congratulate Zitro for reaching the absolute skill capped and thank OP for an informative post.

I believe many of you look at this skill cap in the wrong way.
It is not punishing hardcore players.
It is rewarding casual players.
How are you being punished exactly ?
It seem you can go 20-0 fine despite the 0 SP you earn.

Most people used 2-3 days to reach 1 mil SP where the diminishing return kick in, which should be where the soft cap is.
If it take a hardcore player 5 days to reach the hard cap of 1.25 mil. I would say the job well done CCP.
This way, casual players can reach the soft cap relatively easy.
Hardcore player still have a goal to aim for through out the week.
The advantage hardcore player get is about 25%(or 50%) more SP a week which is just about right if you ask me.
I agree with one poster that removing diminishing return will only lead to "I capped my skill in 36 hours" threads.

The SP gain is too slow under diminishing return ?
EVE players have tried to point it out many time already. In EVE, the skill point is gained ENTIRELY passive.
Currently, we get 900 SP passively each hour in DUST. Let's say you can play 3 games every hour (20 minutes each).
Getting 300 SP each game already mean you have 100% more SP boosting over the one who is not playing.
Tell me again if that's considered low.

You fear that you will fall off *permanently* for not playing a week ?
Without any skill cap, you will fall off *permanently* for every second you aren't in game (for example while reading this forum).
CCP have tried daily skill cap before which wasn't work so well.
It may come to you as a surprise, people with a life do live their life in weekly basis you know ?
You see, there is a thing called weekday and weekend.
I believe current SP cap is the best method CCP have ever tried so far.

If you have better suggestion than current system, feel free to post your method in informative manner.
By informative, I meant more informative than CCP fix it, fix it , FIX IIIITTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you want it fixed exactly ? Let me guess remove the skill cap entirely ?

There is no such thing as hardcore, there are only noobs, regulars, and nerds. And then you got the no lifers....I wonder who that might be.
