So when I get laser rifle operation V, which I have and then proficiency V 2 weeks before you, when you catch up and have the same I'm going to have some magical level V skill in laser rifle you won't? Or will we be on equal grounds? When I get caldari assault suit V then weeks later you get it I'll have magical assault suit skill V already? Will I still die now and then to people with less skill then me? Yes. Will my KDR be any different? Probably not. Stop the QQ kid.
You know that Laser Rifle Operations is bugged and does nothing, right? |

Is this fair? Good way to fix this is for CCP to add more SP as a start, so instead of 500,000SP they start with 1,000,000SP
If they do that, then the new players will be able to get to (gun of choice) Ops V from the getgo.
Plus, even if someone has several years on someone else, there is always PERSONAL skill, and there is also the simple fact that only X number of skills can effect a specialty at all. You may have a 'year' advantage on that player, but after the first twom months you just stopped spending SP on your specialty. There just weren't any more skills for it. So the new player can tie up your fighting skills within a short window of time. Playing for a long time doesn't make you BETTER, it makes you MORE VERSATILE. For example: Goonswarm made a bunch of trial accounts to help win some war or other. Each one had 21 days at most to get skills, and they were still strong enough to beat the ever-loving crap out of their opponents. |

Just to be clear, I support the cap. I may find it irritating on occation, but now that it's weekly it's bearable. Trying to juggle a daily session of DUST with all the other games and IRL obligations is irritating, so having a limiter set so that playing DUST isn't rewarding lets me get around to my other things. |
