Well, it's 14000 a week, so 64000 a month, and 728000 AUR a year. That's around -ú350 a year. Just to stay competative. With no UVT or AUR gear, that's JUST for SP. there is no other way to gain that Sp, except to pay.
Who wants to spend -ú350 a year on a f2p game, and how many would not bother to play when we can't keep pace, because someone has more money than you?
I have no wish to play a subscription game. Especially -ú30 a month. |

So how do you get 365 days of boosters both passive & active SP without spending that AUR? |

With new skills and such comming out yes. You might well want to get the latest tech as fast as you can. Unless CCP stop releasing new gear...
Tbh, Tenchu ya right. No point me playing. |

LoL sure they're not. Only 50% additional SP. And we all know SP isn't OP
*facepalm*
This is more about price, and who wants to spend -ú300 a year and who just cba to play what we see as a p2w game. Not about my personally being pretty good, and now being a scrub because everyone has AR proficiency when I got grenades (which are rubbish btw). |

It'd be good to get something worthwhile out of my eRage, and so far it seems the consensus agree passives are too expensive for their current gain. Secondly there is a great deal of faith in the ISK-AUR transfer/live market side of things. That's all cool. But I struggle for ISK because the payouts are just about balanced, if you aren't paying for your stuff with AUR. Which won't leave much for augmentations.
I might be exaggerating some points, mostly due to how rubbish my lvl 5 grenades are, and how much damage I do by fitting a Duvolle & 10% damage mod to a typeA. I lose massive amounts of HP to do so, when if I had lvl 5 proficiency, I'd ALWAYS be doing that damage. I still need about 4 mil sp to get Proto suit & proficiencies down. That is a long time with current Sp system.
I play these games for clan battles, because that's the only REAL competition. Currently, the 2-3 mil Sp makes me not worth fielding in a competative environment. So I'm stuck with redline pub games, where I don't actually care about who wins, or loses. PvE co-op might fix my troubles a little.
That blue dot? The one sitting in the back our spawn behind the buildings? That's me. Because it's going to be up to the other guys from now on. (I might still call in one of my 165k ISK monster militia HAVs every 10 games or so... Gotta keep that ISK efficiency up yo?
@ICECREAM
Go thukker yourself, of all the people in all new eden, you sir will not be having my address :P I'll get myself a booster or 2 when the game goes live, but this current feeling I've had on many MMO's. eRageQQuit. Important CCP knows where particularly unpleasant SP differences occur so that their matchmaking might improve (I still say CCP are putting all groups on 1 team, and all randoms on the other). |

Boosters already increase the cap. They going to increase the increased cap next. The current capgap is around a million a month. It was painfully obvious when we played Imperfects that they had better gear than me, (proto vs advanced) and I really struggled. To put things in perspective that 1-2 mil from 1-2 months is enough for a Proto suit and 12% more damage PASSIVE than I have. It's the equivalent of 4*small damage modules, AND having better suit/modules. That's quite an advantage. |

IMHO you should be able to reallocate the same amount of SP you've earnt only from passives. So at this stage I could reallocate my lvl 5 grenades, however it'd use up pretty much all "reallocation points". It would prevent people from just constantly changing skills. Won't go down well with EvE community "because in EvE you never get to reallocate skills"... |

Sorry I didn't specify EXACTLY which players had more SP... apparently that implies all Imperfects including those who didn't play had better gear. Apologies if you want to dwell on that specific battle, but it's just the best example I can give of KNOWING I had no chance. I honestly couldn't believe they already had Proto gear at that stage. |
