Ehm, why haven't you yet made it a week-long average with daily updates, where every day the quota is topped off with 1/7 of the total and it is a logarithmically decreasing function so that a daily player ends up settling on a somewhat steady amount of SP per battle.
Actually, I'd imagine a two/three-week total bucket for the quota would be better cause it would be more stable. Seriously, this isn't that difficult a programming exercise. |

Well that just threw off three spreadsheets worth of marketing...
And gives both casuals and hardcore players instantly better feelings towards the rewards they receive, instead of either having casuals crying over not getting enough SP and hardcore players crying over getting 0 SP after a few matches. |

Hey, I just posted an awesome way this could be implemented properly, for free, now go get some code monkey to implement it.
The implementations you've been jumping between have been rather full of suck.
To summarise:
- A two-week's worth of total quota, 1000k SP.
- Every day add 1000k/14 SP, up to max total quota.
- A logarithmically decreasing function is used to get the multiplier for match SP: [1.0-0.0>.
- Should be tuned so that a player playing... 15(or so?) good matches would end up with 500k left in quota.
- A hardcore player would end up after a week with a constant 50-150k in quota.
- Both get equal active SP as long as the casual doesn't let the quota get full by playing the 15 matches per week.
- Payouts for the hardcore player will remain relatively stable, avoiding rage.
- Make sure that exceptionally large base match SP is handled properly in the calculation in order to avoid draining the quota excessively.

For SP progression that feels abit high, if it is supposed to be somewhat close to EVE's SP gain of aprox 1mil SP/month
Yes, numbers used for demonstrating an algorithm design are always balanced and ready for production use. |

Why consider any of the evils when I've posted a pretty straight-forward solution that isn't evil?
I've worked quite a lot with these kinds of algorithms in the network world, so it's not like it's an amateur opinion. |
