best idea ever actually.
you get sp how much you play. problem solved.

I'd rather have a cap, the no lifer are going to rule the game.

Only players who want it are the self entitled players who work and do other things and think they should have exactly the same SP as player who play all day. Sounds like communism to me, we all know how that has worked out.

The crybabies are out!!! I'm pretty sure I saw all thes kids saying... Adapt or die right?? So listen to yourself and STFU

Do you know any duster that does this you moron? I don't so stop bitching

Why would you be willing to pay money for a booster when their is a cap and not willing to buy one when there is not a cap. If there is no cap then the booster is a better value for you....is it truly only the fact that most gamers dont like their games to take months-years for them to get anywhere?

My suggestion is have a max SP for charecter based on time since creation... everyday the charecter is active your charecters max skill points increases.

Actually how can "no lifers" afford to buy a booster unless their parents are buying it for them? A true no lifer does not have the funds to do this. Will there be some who might be able to pull this off yes but I suspect most of the no lifers wont use a booster as they cant afford it they just play a whole lot. Thus the booster allows you to keep up with those people. No lifers who also have parents "or whoever" buying boosters for them will get far ahead but its not that big of an advantage. Once you hit 7-8 million SP you should be pretty much skilled into your specialization you choose and now your widening your abilities.

well I do like the thought of progressing. I like being able to save up and buy things in a reasonable amount of time. I would like to in only a couple months play with my preferred specialization on my character being almost completely maxed out in that time. I dont want it to have to take close to a year or more for that same thing. I mean from the sounds of it Ps4 is coming out late this year or maybe next year and htis game will be moving to the PS4. I would like to play this game for a while before I cant play it anymore as I will be a while before getting a ps4 most likely.....plus there is no telling how life can change in that amount of time. I would like to play dust with a good character in a reasonable amount of time.

This is a step in the right direction CCP. There wasn't an SP cap before replication, and the game was fine.

Well your comment on what you heard from my statement is wrong. I agree with telc that the primary focus should be on ISK but I also honestly cant see how CCP can make this game profitable while maintaining a SP cap. I will probably play this game (unless they seriously screw it up) until either I have no friends playing it anymore or they move it to the newer system and I dont buy that new system. I like having no cap better than having a daily cap where I feel like I have to play every single day. Without a cap I dont feel like I am forced to play to keep up with the pace. Heck I would be ok with it being a completely passive gain for the SP myself but I know that wont fly with the majority of players here and once again it takes me back to the argument if its all passive then would people really buy enough boosters to keep this game in the black??? Right now I cant see people buying AUR for the weapons but for the other things like boosters and maybe UVT (although the price increase was pretty drastic IMO).

Where did all this come from 0_0

I only get around 900 sp per match, and play for around 3 hours a day, at 18 mins each, thats 10 ambushes, or 9000 sp a day.

PLease don't remove the cap! I suck!
My lifetime wp is 90,422

NOOOOOOOOO

Removing the SP cap will only harm Dust in the long run, there's no denying this. Doing so will allow players who have the ability to play 8+ hours a day 5+ days of the week to accumulate SP at an alarming rate. Since there is no limit to how many skill points you can accumulate total nor how many skills you can learn it only makes sense that it won't be long before every skill available has been learned by the aforementioned players. While it's true that individual skill and tactics do play a part in battles, it is even more true that skills and equipment play a bigger part.

Now what will happen when Corp A's players, who put in 56+ hours a week into the game and have eventually learned every skill play Corp B whose players can only play ~14 hours a week? The latter corp could have Sun Tzu pulling the strings for them, but it won't make a difference when Corp As players have more armor, do more damage, regenerate shields quicker, have more accurate guns, and all have prototype-level gear. It won't make a difference when any member of Corp A can call in a tank or a dropship until the vehicle limit is reached while only a few players in Corp B have the weaponry or the vehicles to counter it. And then, because they had to specialize to use those items and cannot cope with Corp A when they all switch to a different loadout. Not to mention the intangible benefits of being more familiar with the games mechanics, and therefore having refined control over your character.

When it hits critical mass, there will be a few elite corps who will battle each other because no competition can be had from the other corps who can't put in the time the elites can. The normal players will stop playing the game because they'll constantly run into enemies they can't kill, and the elite players will either stop playing because they no longer have a challenge save for the few other elite players, or they will continue terrorizing new players until only the elite are left.

It's easy to make the comparison with EVE in that new players can be annihilated by the veterans but the game still thrives, but if everything was wiped clean and every EVE player started from scratch, would the few players who can play constantly have Titans within months? That couldn't happen thanks to EVE's restrictive skill system. But with Dust, SP is gained actively, there is a very distinct and tangible advantage to be gained by playing often if no SP cap is in place. It's one thing to take a hands-off approach to the economy and player interactions, but if the system does not promote competition by allowing those with more game time to end up light years ahead of other players then what's the point? The game won't be successful without countless mercs and when things spiral out of control due to the unrestricted SP gain who will be around to play the game?
