I for one dont get to play everyday. but when i do play i max out the skill cap and it really sucks. at the rate im going, it will be almost a month before i can reach level 5 anything! but before i can reach it, CCP will do a wipe and ill have to start over AGAIN!
I VOTE TO REMOVE THE CAP FOR SKILL POINTS OR AT LEAST MAKE IT A REALISTIC CAP, INSTEAD OF 24,000 OR 48,000; MAKE IT LIKE 1MILLION. AT LEAST SOMETHING HIGHER THE THE HIGHEST COST OF A LEVEL 5 WITH ALL THE LEVELS UNDER IT INCLUDED.... ITS POINTLESS TO PLAY FOR 4 HOURS AND HIT THE CAP AND CONTINUE PLAYING. YOUR ONLY GONNA GAIN ISK AND WHAT GOOD IS ISK IF U CANT GET WHAT U WANT AND ONLY SPEND IT ON WHAT U DONT NEED? PLEASE VOTE AND LETS PUSH THIS TO CCP AND GET THIS CHANGED!!!!!! THANKS! OICU8 |

only one problem... when they do a reset, your time goes back to zero. i have been a member since the first days when u had to beat that stupid game in the playstation store for a beta key... so i been a member for months. but i like the idea if they wouldnt do wipes. we need to push to ccp the importance of removing the cap and moving it to a realistic number... im from mag, SP wernt capped so u play u get skill no matter what. i would play for 16+ hours once a week cause i had a family and a job. so i really wasn't behind just took me a night and back on top.... but if CCP continues to keep this cap on, I AM GONNA RETIRE MY ACCOUNT AND DELETE THEM. IM NOT PLAYING JUST TO BE CAPPED OFF ON MY SP AND NOT GET WHAT I DESERVE. THIS IS MY PROMISE AND I BET U PEOPLE WILL AGREE WITH ME THIS CAP IS CRAP |

+1 totally agree if I wanna sit there and rack up the sp I should be able to do so. There really isn't a point to playing if your not getting the sp. Ppl complain about basement dwellers, but the game shouldn't revolve around the 1 hour a week or day players, should be around the ones that play the game. Even if its just on a Saturday while ur bored or a rainy day. |

The cap is the single worst part of the game. It makes me disappointed that I paid for the mercenary pack. I'm going to elaborate so please don't just call me a whiner but hear me out.
I have a family and I work full-time. I love to play but I just don't have enough time in the week. If I'm lucky, I get 4 hours on the weekend. Maybe an hour through the week. I understand that I'm not going to be able to afford the high-end stuff playing that often. I even understand that the constant players are going to have better skills and equipment than me, but it's frustrating that I can't even get close.
I used to have pretty amazing twitch skills but those days are over. I'm perfectly fine playing Logi and lobbing a few railgun shots downrange. The biggest issue is: I can't even do that!
Because I don't play as often, I'm not very good. As I'm not very good, I don't get more than say 4 kills a match. I always carry a triage so I get a few WPs throughout a match but not much. In the end, I'm earning an average of like 2400 SP a match. At that rate, I can't even skill into a Logi suit yet. Much less any reasonable gun skills, or repair modules, or the ever necessary Infantry Shield Management. Heck, I can't even wear Armor modules yet...
And yes, I have an active AND passive booster on all the time...
Meanwhile, the constant players are running around with protos and HAVs... I can't touch them. So my WPs slide even further down and I can't earn enough to upgrade a single skill after 4 hours of play. Let me be clear: This is NOT fun!
I get the point of the SP cap. It slows the growth of the environment as a whole. The problem is, in its current weekly cap form, it actually punishes those of us who only play a couple times a week! Those willing to grind the few SPs available every day can get into decent gear. The rest of us can't hope to...
My suggestion: Have an SP cap. Let it grow directly proportional to the amount of time since the last wipe. HAVE NO WEEKLY CAP. This keeps the high-end players roughly equal and allows CCP to control when new skills or equipment would be available to the environment. This also frees the rest of us to attempt to catch up. If I get a surprise 6 hours free for a weekend, I suddenly have a chance to catch up to the higher-capped players. I don't have to reach the cap this week and hope to find time the next. Also, if I don't get to it this week, I'm not locked out of the upper tiers forever...
That, or make SP gain completely passive like EVE...
Please understand, I love this game and the universe from where it comes. I want to love this game. But if it stays the way it is and I just can't hope to ever catch up, and I'm constantly getting slaughtered by high-level lasers or HAVs that I can't touch, then I won't play anymore... |

This is obviously something that CCP will have to look into. Because the cap is WAAAAAAAY to low. And as I have stated in other posts - you can't treat console FPS gamers the way you can treat computer MMO players. Console gamers want to be rewarded for the time they put into the game and hate being capped.
If CCP wants people to play this continually they will have to do something about it because console gamers will easily switch to another game once they've reached their cap - as I do.
Now I've been watching EVE feeds and I believed I saw how their passive sp system is in EVE and I liked the idea of it. It appeared that you queued up skills you wanted to study for a specific amount of time. That would work for me - in fact it's kind of cool to know that while I'm off at work, my merc is studying engineering and getting ready to study another skill at another hour, as opposed to getting generic points and spending them on whatever you want. |
