ok. two situations.
one. theres a new player that just so happens to be ******* terrible.. but hes trying. me and my squad happen to be losers (we're actually nice.. half the time.) and report this poor kid for being afk.
good job, this new players first game yielded him no skillpoints or isk and hes witnessed his teammates vote him afk while he was trying to help.
two. me and my squad have nanohives, squad orders and spawn beacons. how hard do you think it'd be for us to get that warpoint cap sitting in the mcc alone? or if we just jump out, grab a supply depot or turret and then spin around in the redline on a hill for the rest of the round. |

If you can't keep up with the grinders oh well to damn bad. I rarely play only have about 3 mil in SP and I'm still running standard stuff and can hold my own.
But that's my opinion on the matter you don't have to like it but everyone is entitled to there own.
yeah man lets remove the sp cap so they can spin in the mcc 23.5/7. good call dude, really. you thought your 3m sp was low? try comparing it to someone whos been spinning with maximum benefits the entire time.
really. yeah you're entitled to your opinion, but that's in no way good for the community WHATSOEVER. even an afk player will probably tell you that.

i dunno man. we gotta deal with it, it'll always happen if theres something to gain.
when they start afking in corp battles, tho.. then we have a problem. |

This is why going all passive is better. New players would earn sp on an equal footing with veterans, and afking would be eliminated.
It would also remove any satisfaction from personally training my skills. Why play Dust when I can play Pokemon for year and then comeback to find a nice pool of SP? Why play Dust at all? It might work for EVE, but Dust isn't EVE. Theoretically, you should be playing dust because it is fun. Extrinsic lures are a form of psychological addiction. If dust isn't fun to play, sp aside, you should move on.
what this guy said. why do people play eve? |

How much passive SP are we talking here? Cause a fully decked out build in dust will take a while. Still, you need to stop treating this like EVE, this is a FPS not EVE. Even a sh*t shooter like CoD offers some rewards for playing, even if it is something as meaningless as a fancier name tag. Do you know why people strive to earn those useless name tags, because it gives them a sense of accomplishment... along with inflating their E-peens.
What does passive SP reward me? Nothing, a game that I don't even have to play to succeed at isn't interesting in the slightest.
Edit: Should fun be the main incentive? Yes, that doesn't mean it has to be the only one. And technically fun gameplay is it'self a lure, as is an interactive skill system, that includes grinding.
a specialization takes about 10million sp for the first and significantly less depending on where you spec for the next.
the passive skillpoints could be boosted to incorporate all of the active skillpoints in the week, allowing players who can't reach the cap to be on equal grounds.
i guess active boosters would be merged with passive ones, and the time would be divided by 2. the passive ones would go up in price.
people would play to actually play the game.. god only knows how many people even play this game to enjoy the game tho, i think theyre all addicted to grinding. |

Why do people go to casinos? Also, from what I've heard, EVE isn't just ships going pew pew at each other, there are people who have completely alternate lives there...try finding people with the same commitment to a shooter. No matter how fun dust becomes, it's just another shooter.
i'm pretty darn sure ccp doesn't agree with you there... this game might feel like battlefield 3's open beta atm, but i REALLY doubt that that's what ccps going to leave dust at.
if this game is even a fraction like eve it should stand out pretty strongly compared to the other fps's on the market atm. i mean.. why the hell do you think i'm posting over here and not still playing dks man? for another cod or bf3 clone? |
