I dont know how many times I have to say it before you people will realize it, and no matter how much you ignore it wont change the fact that the current SP cap is a weekly cap of around 300k without passive SP or any sort of boosters. I dont know where 500k came from, but it is either a misconception or was changed after Chromosome.

False
You are wrong and this is a garbage thread.

yeah wrong, i've earned about 600k this week, although i didn't write down what my starting SP was.

Like I said, you can try to ignore it and you can try to claim it as false all you want but it is fact. Go on an alt with no passive SP active on it and no boosters, write down your starting SP, write down your SP when youre consisitently hitting 500 or less SP a match, and then tell me the differance. I gaurantee you it is around 300k SP. If you grind to 0 SP (has anyone actually done this?) you MIGHT (incredibly low odds) hit 400k, but I seriously doubt it.

I have ...matter of fact I wrote down every match as the sp rewarded....every single match sp rewarded,ISK payout, KDR,1-16,WP also team win or loss.I would run a thread with all that info typed into it because I wrote it down in a note book.But I dont think the community would be interested in it.It would also take a while..but alas I have confirmed,because of my own curiosity.....you are wrong.

You wont post it because you have not in fact done this. You are simply trying to discredit what I am saying (for what reason I have no clue) and refuse to admit you are wrong.

Like I said before this is a garbage thread and I cant believe that YOU are in Beta Max.....Jenza must be going for Quanity not Quality.

We've got more than three people who cap EVERY week. It's significantly more than 600k, and that's with passive. 24,000 x 7 is NOT three hundred thousand.

Hell, when I'm down around 900 or less, I've earned more than 400k as well. This is made even more clear when you divide my total SP by the number of weeks.

Seriously, this is like, fourth grade math or so.

Once again, do as I asked HEC. This is a beta, we are beta testers, go test and come back with real results; not what you perceive to be the truth.

Why dont you do it and prove it is 300k because obviously no one believes you...

I already have 2 weeks in a row on both of my characters. Both weeks I earned about 300k and then didnt get too much after that. Pretty sure one of you Imperfects posted something similar about a week ago that supports my claim.

And Ill bet thats with passive SP and boosters isnt it? Do what I asked HEC to do and come back with your results. You perceive yourself earning more SP than you actually are.

alright next week i'll keep track of it and if I'm wrong i'll let you know.

just wanted to pop in here and say that is doggy doodoo

case in point this wednesday I started with 21365 SP and on thursday I had 365781 sp and still earning in the high hundreds.
yes I can say that I had passive SP but that passive sp cannot account for the growth experienced in less than one day

actually less than 12 hours...

What it really NEEDS to be is 1,000,000, then we wouldn't max in just a couple of days.

ANY CAP ON SP RENDERS ALL BOOSTERS OBSOLETE.

So can someone remind me why we would be paying for aurum? Ah, thats right there is no longer a point!

What a shame, no more income for CCP, no more Dust 514, look what you did you a*s*o*e!

Like Ive told others already, get on an alt that doesnt have any sort of passive SP or boosters and let us know how much SP you earn before youre consistently getting 500 or less SP.

Whoa, deja vu

I'll go ahead and say it again.
Passive SP has no cap, so boosters are not obsolete, plus people use AUR for more than just boosters, so CCP will still make money from that.

and active boosters? Or are those just supposed to be a con? Something tells me you haven't thought the marketing side of this through.

That's the whole "hard cap vs soft cap" argument, isn't it?
One would make active boosters allow you to gain 50% more SP, and the other would just let you gain the SP 50% faster.

Active boosters right now are for people with not a lot of time on their hands so they need to earn the SP faster to keep up with people like you and me who can play till' the cows come home.

This game was made with the intention of making someone in the world money. period. So why employ any model that will **** off the people who are actually paying the money? Yes I play Dust until the cows come home and yes I still buy 40,000 aurum per month to spend on boosters etc. because I want this game to be developed in the right direction.

All this is doing is annoying the clientel who want to devote a portion of their time to the games CCP develops.

And as for "One would make active boosters allow you to gain 50% more SP, and the other would just let you gain the SP 50% faster." So much for the money cow not having the advantage idea.

Whoa, deja vu

Essentially with the SP cap you are simply making a COD in the making. What is beautiful about both Dust and EVE is that SP are limited and precious and as a result pretty much every character in EVE is different with stengths and weaknesses in different areas.

With an SP cap to allow new players to catch up with vets you are basically putting everyone on a level playing ground and the only difference between characters will be if people are actually good at FPS, using aimbots or enjoy a substantial amount of bunny hopping.

I dont want to play another COD, I want to play Dust where my character and its abilities are unique to me, and my individuality as a merc has not been raped by a skill cap!
