nope. Despite what a few are saying here, the SP cap isn't there to "keep the balance between players", it's there to pace our advancement through gear/the game. If you started 3 years from now, and could grind to have prototype in a few days and max your character in a few months, where is the challenge in that? where is the fun? where is the longevity?
the only thing that would do for CCP is make it so only the committed players who are already sticking around stay and play. I don't understand why people keep saying it's for anything other than pacing.
I don't care if a player has the same gear as me. I actually want people to be able to be competitive. but to allow someone to grind up to 30 mil or whatever SP would be so broken it wouldn't even be funny. For starters, this game isn't about "letting" people do anything. It's about dedication and investment.
It's for this very reason there needs to be a cap on skill points earned, and why I feel that cap should be no more than 500 SP per match beyond the cap.
If you let your playerbase advance too quickly, they are going to be bored and moving on to the next game before you can even get your first big "new build" released.
Not to mention we are all paying way too much attention to the SP cap. This new SP cap will soon be replaced by a rolling cap, which hopefully will drain every week if you can't fulfull it, or at the very least, not allow people to earn more than a weeks worth of SP.
It's not about you having to miss a week or two of SP, it's about the hundreds of thousands of people who will play all day ever day to "be the best", and then get bored with it and move on.
CCP needs to stop the pussification of DUST, and start being more like it's older brother. Just because we are console players doesn't mean we can't handle a challenging game. Besides, a challenging FPS would be MORE THAN welcome.
look at demon's souls. crazy difficult game... crazy popular. stop trying to speed up Dust because a few tryhards want their mad skills/gear nao, and start telling them exactly what you'd tell someone wanting active SP gains in EVE. We aren't all kids on the PS3, you know. |
