Too much butthurt in this thread for me to read all the posts. So, if the following point has been discussed, too bad. If it hasn't, then feel free to tell me how right I am.
Who friggin' cares if Johnny No-Life has more SP than you? Remove skill caps, and here is why:
The most important mechanic the DUST SP system shares with EVE is that skills are capped at level 5. So, like in EVE, if you go up against someone with 130 million SP or 10 million, if you're specialized the two of you will be equal in the same gear except for raw skill and tactics.
Quote:But Ziggie, players that can grind unlimited SP will be able to field more options in battle!
Again, this matters why? If someone is doing that, they will be broke very, very soon. If you kill someone in his proto assault kit and he comes back with a proto sniper setup and kills you, laugh at the fact that he's paying all that cash for revenge.
If this person is not going broke doing so, odds are they are in a corporation and playing as a member of a team, in which case they will usually be playing a specialized role and will not be jumping in and out of ten different dropsuit fits.
Quote:But Ziggie, the EVE system has been working for years! Let's just use that!
I don't have a corp in DUST, and because I deploy to Afghanistan on a very frequent basis, I probably won't. So, if the only gains I'm gonna see from actively playing DUST are ISK and the occasional e-peen inflation from fragging someone, then the game is going to get very old, very fast. If I can't bust my ass to get some extra SP from a good match, then there is no point.
Just shut up already.
tl;dr: Skill progression should be uncapped, the above explains how you are an idiot if you think it will kill casuals. |

No, it started as a thread about changing the SP system to EVE's completely passive system. I illustrate that not only is that a stupid idea, but it should in fact go the other direction and be uncapped.
