Um the reason is to stop no lifers from completely dominating this game. You are not losing out on your moneys worth. You still get your bonus even after capping out and that is where the bonus comes in handy. If you time it right you can also secure a 7 day booster to work over two weeks and cap out in both of them thereby making it more efficient.
Dude dont hate the game, it is what it is, CCP need money, I'll keep giving it to them. |

You spend $60 and don't do the slightest research into what you bought then come here to complain? I'll help you out. You bought a 50% higher cap and you get there 50% faster. Enjoy. |

The cap is something like 190k a week. That resets on Wednesdays. To hit 190k, you need to play at least 30 games, if you're getting 6-7k a match. I'll guesstimate at about an hour for three games, so yes, that's ten hours a week you'd need to play. Just about enough time for those who have jobs or can't play frequently to get on and enjoy some time in the game, instead of being destroyed by teenagers who do nothing after school, or in the holidays, but game. Not implying you're one of them. |

There is a weekly skill cap there is a set amount of sp you can gain in the cap. After you hit this cap you get something called a soft cap. With the soft cap you get a skill point for every warpoint you get in battle but if you get over 1000 points you can only get 1000 sp (1500 with booster). This is not a scam to rip off booster buyers. It applies to everyone and for a good reason. If anything you should thank ccp if it wasnt for them people like cubs and zdowwgg (most active players) would be miles ahead of everyone in sp. They did this so people who had more time could still get a advantage but not too large of one. |

Ahh man, I can't stop laughing 
Edit: And like Legend said, you also get 50% more after you hit the cap |

Um. Hate to ruin the post, but if you gain SP at a 50% greater rate, and the cap is 50% higher, then you get to the cap in the same amount of time. |

You could get more SP per match and keep the same cap, or you could have a higher cap but get the same SP per match. Reav is right if you're comparing it to the normal rate. |

Exactly, cao with booster = 275K
Passive SP = 24" daily 36K with passive booster or 168K weekly, 252K weekly (if my math does not fail me)
Soft cap = WP up to 1000 or WP x 1.5 up to 1500SP
So there OP, that is the information you were too lazy to find out before coming onto the forums throwing a petulent internet tantrum |

Welcome to Not Call of Duty. Where no-lifers don't get what they demand.
First.
Do your frakking homework before you buy anything with aurum. Your first mistake was that you bought without thinking. I can tell you weren't thinking by virtue of the fact that you are now realizing the existence of an SP cap AFTER you were using active boosters.
Second.
You can use the active boosters instead. They are not affected in any way by the SP cap.
Third.
There is a legitimate reason why the SP cap exists. We have talked about this extensively throughout the entire past 12 months or so. If you use the search function for once before you decided to buy the active booster, you would have seen the near-endless discussion on the topic. A public vote was put in place looooooooong ago and the vast majority of players wanted the SP cap with the current soft cap you see today.
Fourth.
Throwing a temper tantrum is not going to help your cause. You are coming across as a spoiled brat demanding to have his cake after he ate it. We frown on people like that in these neck of the woods.
Fifth.
If you don't like dust because of this SP cap, fine. Call of Duty and Halo are that way. |

I think STFU would be more appropriate in this case. Because not only are we telling the OP to shut the f up; we're also telling the OP to smarten the f up. If OP had done the latter s/he wouldn't need to do the former. |

You will also be happy to note that Aurum can not be refunded! This is why China is dominating US market. Nobody ever bothers to read "Made in China".

dude your one of the first people ive met that doesn't know about the weekly skill cap. Each week a player can only earn a certain amount of SP, after they hit that cap (between 200k SP and 300k depending on when you activated your booster) you can only earn a max of 1000 sp to 1500 sp until the SP cap is reset on Wed. So basically your crying because you missed out on ONE day of SP grinding....... The reason this SP cap is in place is to prevent no lifers like myself from skyrocketing ahead of other people who dont play as much. This helps keep the gameplay balanced. Tomorrow the cap is getting reset like it always does, so youll have another 200 to 300k sp to farm until next wed. |

Well, after picking myself up from the floor after laughing so much, my advice to the OP is only buy the 3 day booster. I learnt my lesson well, after stockpiling 7 day boosters and capping out in 2-3 days. If you're only playing on your days off (I assume Friday evening/Sat/Sun) then that is the way to go. After that just play ambush for the ISK, those fancy Dropsuits and shiny toys don't come cheap! |

I know, right? People are already complaining that the price of the prototype drop suits and weapons are already expensive enough as it is. I can't wait for the flood of tears to come once the market opens up and the price of proto/officer fits jumps to 10million ISK.       |

"Hey man. This is Eve's universe you're in."
this isn't eve universe.
i've been on eve. i've seen how they do it over there.
this is not even close.
this is like romper room with guns and aurum and only 1/5th of us can actually play this game, the rest are just guessing.
you'd have to toughen this game up about 5 notches to make it close to the real eve universe.
but then there would only be 1/5th of us left.
