2. if you don't have enough time in the day to get as much sp as everyone else, that's too bad. the world does not run on a no child left behind policy, so why should dust? if you, like me, don't have enough time to play because you have a life/job/girlfriend who prevents you, that's your problem. you'll eventually get there, its an fps first, after all, and a mmorpg second, buy boosters, plan your skills, and dont mess around. people should get farther faster than others, its called dedication and skill.

Lee the problem with that is that there will be no real point for the rest of us to play during the week then, I really don't care about other people's situations and I'm ******* tired of hearing this in every game forum space "what about those of us that do this or that and have this going on" then the makers of the game change it perfectly to accommodate for the players involved in that situation style causing the rest of us to complain about permanent changes made for them. The bottom line is, for those of you in special situations like having jobs & a family.... don't complain to the company to where you screw the rest of the player base over to compensate for your own life style, those of us that don't have families and are too young to get jobs are essentially ****** by those that do.

The SP cap downgraded this game entirely for me, theres no point I see for playing anymore after 5 matches when I reach the cap other than getting the isk, if you do not get rid of the cap then increase it to at least 100k a day, and the whole new player friendly **** needs to stop, new players will always get owned when going against experienced players. Come on ccp, use your ******* heads already damn you!

If CCP could balance the teams a bit better and or fix it so people have to work with squads we could all live in a utopia of balanced fights.. I have faith in CCP though as the game grows there will be security districts NPC and player controlled, So the majority of high SP players will be put into the player controlled matches or lower security planets so it won't discourage new players.. When I play I play to win and you win by getting better quicker reaction time knowing where enemies will per-fire knowing set nade spots where to put nano hives the list goes on and on, in and out of squads especially in squads.. But then again i come from the old school thought process of gaming to play to get better (not just skill points or prestige to show people you're low life epeen you achieved in a week) I also come from playing EVE for the past 5years where you have to wait to get better you still play to earn money build team comradery and learn your enemies every move.. Sure I agree 50 / 75 with booster is way to low for post cap gain, but the cap is perfect as I posted in one of the other 50 SP threads casual players with jobs/families only have about 4-6hrs to play a night but for those weekends or days the family is away we like to nerd out and spend 8-12hours nerding out.. So why not implement 2x24hr No SP cap booster.. That we can use twice a week (or something of this sort) So we can have control of when we want to use the booster If the people that can play 24hrs a day want to use the boosters back to back sure thing but then they are back to the skill point cap after 48hrs.. Then those of us that have to plan when we play we use the boosters accordingly, if you don't use the booster you're **** out of luck.. THE KEY THING HERE IS: CCP needs players regardless if those players play only 4hrs a night or 24 hrs a day players equal AUR purchased AUR purchased equal a better game for those bitching about the SP cap.. If the SP cap was not caped new players interested in Dust514, but have no real shooter talent (like the majority of my local friends that i have referred to this game) would get discouraged real quick and go back to COD/Halo... Which has already happened because of the monopoly of corps right now Qing up 8 to 16 fold and dominating the battlefield... Don't get me wrong i can appreciate that just as much as the corp dominating the field but its not good for business especially during "Beta" So lets leave it how it is till match balancing gets figured out or different security planets get opened up

Its not that people are complaining its putting it into perspective, If this was purely an MMO then sure let there be no SP cap but im sorry you can not tell me this is an MMO right now... WTF No child left behind policy ROFL how can you bring a political perspective into a video game especially from a company perspective outside looking in view on what would make this game successful.. THE FACT IS: that if two people with the same shooter skills play each other one can play for 24hrs a day for a week straight the other can only play 6hrs a day for a week straight the person playing 24hrs a day will win hands down in a 1v1.. Sorry if you disagree no reaction time or thinking ahead will save you from a 10% increase in armor damage and dispersion between the two weapons used.. Oh wait the guy that lost thats his fault because he can't play a "video game" (all of our hobbies) because of real life issues so you're saying he should /quit life to get ahead of that player that can play 24hrs a day ? With the no skill point cap business motto I foresee the money raking in for CCP because that guy is having the time of his life getting murdered by that player that has lvl 5 support skills on a heavy gunner ? When hes sitting on lvl 2 because of no skill point cap.... That is one hell of a business moto and I see those players rushing to the PSN to pick up the game right now......

Come on ccp, use your ***** heads already damn you! Step back and take a bit of a breather honestly I think you are letting your emotions get in the way of beta testing... !? (Be it CCP has said this is not the final product/SP roll out) You have to understand even with a skill point cap you will still have the advantage over other players playing past the cap... (In fact you said it yourself) So im not sure what you are so upset about... ? Also I seriously doubt that the players that can grind for the skillpoints be it 6hrs or 12hrs a day outway the casual shooters, so i really don't think CCP is "ruining" the game for that many people.. Also this is CCP we are talking about this is not the final product even if they improve or decrease the SP cap there will be more reason to play then just gaining SP through updates and expansions im sure your mind will be blown.. So like i said before Its not a "no child left behind policy" its lets try to make it as fare as possible policy so we can bring in a very large and dedicated player group consisting of casual and hardcore players..

ROFL Pretty sure this forum is for ranting and posting our opinion your No child left behind perspective doesn't work when a company is trying grow and not curtail to one side of the playing field so they have to make it as even as possible.. Also this game is nowhere near as balanced as EVE you can Focus train in EVE and be competitive if someone focus trains over a casual player in Dust they will wreck that causal player there is little to no dispersion in Dust sorry your point is still invalid..
