also, It would take a pretty pathetic person to stop playing after they hit the soft cap in a match. IMO thats a pretty weak argument.

Option #5

5) Weekly cap with no limit on the soft cap

So, I've hit like on #5

But, I think the reward of 1sp per wp is too much.

Perhaps sp=wp / 2 or even 4.

Or EVEN sp=wp to 500 , then sp=wp / 2 for 500-1000, then sp=wp/4 for over 1000

Still gives increasing remuneration for excellent performance, but hopefully avoids excessive gain.

#2 because I believe in pacing players. also, I feel the soft cap should be 500 (750 with AB) instead of 1000 (1500 with AB).

however, people should keep in mind that usually, in most skirmish games, only the top 4 or so players on either team get over 1000 wp. also, It would take a pretty pathetic person to stop playing after they hit the soft cap in a match. IMO thats a pretty weak argument.

No no the soft cap means you only sp equal to your war points. Also the afk sp thing needs to go anyways.

What I'd rather see would be , 10 sp per warpoint. Then once you hit the cap it goes down to 1 sp per warpoint with cap at 1000 per battle. Weekly cap.

I still fail to see the need of the 1000 sp cap per battle.

All the rest of it is grand but why have the second cap? It's not needed as on average people only get about 1500 WP per battle if you are any good.

It's the second cap is what is pissing off people who want to continue playing after you hit the initial cap and there really is no need for it. So what if you have a handful of people who grind all day, this will not effect the game at large because the majority of people will be getting less than or around 1000 WP per battle anyway. Therefore, you will not have half of the player base storming ahead of the other half or new players serverely lagging behind which is the general concern.

The hardcore players have accepted your initial cap, but why punish us further with a second soft cap?

Lets face it, if you are on average getting <1000 WP per match and you get up against someone who regularly gets more than 2000 WP per match you are likely to lose anyway. Why? Because this player is better than you. Deal with it. No amount of skill capping is going to change the fact that there are players out there who are better than you.

Games are meant to have balance but they are not meant to punish you for being good at them. That is exactly what this second soft cap does.

Keep your first cap, I don't care whether its daily or weekly, but remove the second cap and simply make it 1WP = 1SP so the hardcore players can enjoy the game as well.

Well to be honest. I believe there shouldn't be a skill cap. I mean lets be honest. Someone willing to spend all that time playing deserves to be well equipped, and their play time should show it. Someone who doesn't fight much isn't going to run the best gear.
Now to cast my actual vote for now. I want option number 5. A weekly cap with no limit on the soft cap. That way if you miss a day or two, you aren't losing any skill points if you can make it up. When you hit the skill cap, it still encourages you to do better because you will get more skill points.

I'm with you 100%, but I'd rather have ANYTHING other than what we have now as soon as possible, and the votes were counted
