4-5 for me. 1k soft cap just means you get it no matter how well you do good or bad, at least with the WP option it fluctuates more and is based on how well you actually do. |

Soft cap punishes those who do well. If you only play on weekends etc and get over 1k wp per match wouldn't you want the extra sp? |

Because 1000 sps will suffice if you guys are adamant on keeping the skill progression, relatively uniform.
I would vote for no cap on the softcap because it isn't every game where you hit 2500 sps in one match. But again, it wouldn't matter. Or, do a 1wp = .5 sp with no cap on the softcap, that may be better. That way, every wp will still count. Because I can see guys stop going hard once they've hit 1K wps in one match
Hit the 1k wp in match and go hide, no risking of losing suits etc as you've already hit the max, besides the cap punishes the good casuals because they won't be able to get the extra sp to help keep up. |

No cap means no lifers get much further ahead of casuals, so I see no reason that no cap would be better for them than a soft cap. Basically: high soft cap = bad for casuals and no lifers for opposite reasons, but reasonably balanced for both. no cap = good for no lifers, terrible for casuals. No lifers would grind 3x as much SP as the average casual could get with the high soft cap. Closer to 6x as much with the uncapped method. How is that an advantage for casuals?
It will never be an advantage for casuals, with active SP it will always be like that. However with the WP option the casuals actually have chance to earn more the times they do actually get to play. If you play on weekends and play 20 matches and get 1.5k wp per match you only earn 20k but with the wp option you earn 30k. |

5) Weekly cap with no limit on the soft cap Realistically speaking this option makes the most sense, and pleases all parties. The weekly cap keeps everybody somewhat on a level playing field. This is great for people who can't play everyday, and it alleviates DUST being a full time job. I believe once you hit your weekly cap 1 WP = 1 SP. This would allow your performance to be directly tied to how many skill points you get from the battle. After hitting the weekly cap 1 WP= 1 SP, Allows for the hardcore players to feel as if they aren't being punished for playing a game that they enjoy. This also allows for newer players to somewhat catch up to everybody else if they not only put the time into the game, but also are somewhat decent at it. however though when behind a redline you shouldn't get any WP's for any actions you perform, because hiding behind the redline destroys the pacing of the game, and generally speaking is a sissy thing to do.
I agree but remember CCP caters more to the players who don't do well in games. If you have a good game and get say 2k WP you should get 2k SP. Besides active boosters would be worth the purchase. It's dumb not to reward players for doing well, all because people are too busy being concerned about what others are doing. Oh and one more thing it was dumb to add in number 5 without it even being tested. People will naturally vote against it, you should of stuck to your guns and tried it out, even if it was only for a week or 2 and then done the vote. |
