seriously? after all these SP plans have been proposed you do nothing about it? infact you make it worse by making those with IRL money even more dominant?!? this is simply a joke, I used to be able to buy a 3-day booster, burn my SP, and not have to spend all that much money, but now just to stay f*cking competitive I have to pay you every F*CKING WEEK! legitimately CCP, I hate you, I hate you with a burning passion, and if there was any other half-decent FPS w/ a community you would drop like a rock. You're one of the most one-sided, ridiculous game devs I've ever seen, whenever such a large portion of a game has ever complained about something SO MUCH, it has gotten changed, in any other game.

This is an FPS, we are not EVE scrubs, we want balance, we want to be able to fight veterans with proto gear if we have militia simply because we can catch up to their SP with hard work, SKILL, and determination. YOU are creating a game that YOU want to live for what was it? 7 years? but you design it to be a one to three year game! this is out of hand CCP. You're ideas are so contradictive I do not even know what to say about them other than LISTEN TO US!

You realise that PVP is already NOT the only thing to do in Dust? If you run a corp or get involved with the Metagame it's much more interesting than the PVP.

There's also the aspects they plan to add, battle commander, production etc will all be without you taking part in direct PVP.

You're not looking at the big picutre and CCP has to lay down the foundations for things to work in the future.

If you don't like it, find something else to play?...

Every single new player who downloads this game will be first focusing on PvP (and most players who decide to stick with the game will continue to only focus on PvP). If the PvP does not impress, they will immediately quit playing and delete the game off their hard drive before they ever get a chance to try out other features of this game. They payed nothing for the game and have no incentive to continue playing if the game doesn't give a good first impression.

The PvP has to be good. It has to feel familiar to people transitioning from other games and has to be newbie friendly. This strict SP cap is not newb friendly.

I'm here just for the metagame personally and i've had a lot of fun playing it to be quite honest. I've made great friends and what i hope are going to be great enemies.

I couldn't agree more - which is why this SP discussion needs to be taken seriously to make sure the foundation of the game is one where anyone can pick up and enjoy. Not feel like you have to quit your job to keep up with no lifers to not get gunned down in the blink of an eye.

I think the meta will attract people - but the functionality of the PvP and how it interacts with every aspect of the game will keep them staying for more.
