fair sum of SP after each match

People won't quit complaining about how you cap out and just have to wait until the next week (even though you are still getting a fair sum of SP after each match). So how about for a week or two we go back to diminishing returns but within the current system so instead of dropping SP off at the 0 hard cap it stops at the 1000 soft cap. I think this would be interesting, especially once they implement the SP rollover system. Start off averaging around 9000 SP per ambush, and it slows down gradually as you get closer and closer to your cap. It would make it take longer to reach your cap and at the same time not change any of the current SP system apart from the rate of SP accrual.

I expect a lot of hate for suggesting it, and personally I have no issue with the current system, but I'd like to see the newberries thoughts on it.

Also, as I said, it would work really well with the rollover system. The more SP you had left over from the previous week, the higher your initial SP gains would be in the following week.

I'm strongly against anything that doesn't culminate in a weekly or monthly hard cap on SP. The boosters are bad enough, but being able to just pull further and further ahead in SP if you can just sit in front of your screen all day is just stupid as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds like punishing people who actively play the game.

It's not punishing them, god ******* damn it I'm so sick and tired of hearing this garbage "argument". Players that play alot are already being rewarded handsomly in ISK, salvage, and in game experience. Letting them sit there and farm out SP to their hearts content only further serves to reward them, while further punishing the player with less time to play.

And I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't have to sign in and put in your time, that's not what I'm getting at at all. It's that SP shouldn't be some wildly fluctuating variable, it should primarily be limited by the time you've been playing, to further preserve the longevity of the skill system.

This is a garbage counter-argument. If it is unfair for someone to continue earning SP over someone with less time to play, then it is also unfair for them to continue earning ISK or salvage. So basically youre saying players should get nothing after they hit cap.

Are we even playing the same game? SP is the baseline of your character, it modifies (almost) every single thing that you can do in the game. It is what makes better gear powerful, by letting you use it, and buffing it. It doesn't hurt the game for a player to accumulate excellent gear early, with a SP system that prevents him from hooking an IV up to his arm and playing for a week straight (let's face it, there are far more of those then many care to admit), because that player can accumulate all the riches he desires, and still not be able to field them until his SP are high enough.

Let him farm out the SP above those with lives, and all of a sudden he gets further and further ahead in shorter and shorter time. How people can't grasp this concept is literally beyond me.
