Too expensive.
I don't want to pay ~$26/month for boosters; it's too much considering all the other micro transactions.
Let me buy 3 or 6 months of both boosters at a time for half this price.
I would be happy with ~$13/month. |

I'm not sure if I completely agree with boosters. I would be happy to pay CCP $15-20/month to just remove the weekly SP cap or at the very least double it. People are fine with paying a monthly fee in EVE, why not DUST? Free account makes you a "recruit" or something with a weekly SP cap while a monthly subscription makes you a "veteran" with no/larger weekly cap.
Boosters only last so long. After you have hit your cap, there is little they do.
Paying for bonus SP seems like cheating. Let's fight and EARN those SPs! |

I am fine with paying, but I think the boosters are over priced.
An EVE account doesnt cost $26/month, and this is before we even begin to look at other consumables such as weapons, modules, or coming skill spikes etc.
TBH I really don't mind spending about $20/mo but I expect to get more bang for my buck than just squeezing by on boosters. |

Developer's got to get paid. Leave it alone. More cash flow into to Dust means more Dev time into game. Nothing is free in this world especialy when you have spent 10's of millions producing a game. |

I'm kind of curious why Passive Boosters aren't much cheaper. Otherwise I would have loaded up on 30-day ones before I had to give back the PS3 I was using and just stacked them on. |

If there were options to buy longer lasting SP boosters I certainly would. Say 6 months or a year. Why not, I know I'm committed to this game for that long at least. MAG gave me 2 years of good play. This should at least equal that. |

game isn't supposed to be pay to win, I would call leveling up faster for that long paying to win. boosters are fine as is, my only suggestion is sell 30 day passive and active boosters, atm you get a 30 day active for buying the merc pack for $20, kinda crazy |

It can't be pay to win to alter the IRL cash cost of boosters, especially if the alteration is a discount.
By discounting the product you make it more accessible and thus less P2W since more players can use it.
If you are saying that having boosters at all is P2W then the suggestion in the OP doesn't fix that, but it does alleviate it.
Re: Thread concept.
I see no reason why there shouldn't at least be a 30-day passive on the market with a "bulk" discount attached.
Dust already does this with lower levels, 30-day boosters are already present for UVT and Active skill, and EVE gives a subscription discount of ~50% for purchase of the full year at one time.
In fact that's an idea, CCP just use the methods you've already been making money on for a decade and provide a years booster pack with a ~50% discount as compared to the 1-day versions of each booster.
