No, what we need is a rollover system or just a "total life-time SP cap" |

By that I mean that your weekly cap would get added to last weeks cap and so on. So if you don't play 1 week, then you can make it up the next week, or a year later. Your cap would be determined by how many days you charcters's been alive. Instead of the current system where any SP you don't gain is completely lost. |

Rifter7 wrote:Sloth9230 wrote:No. What we need is a rollover system or a "total life-time SP cap" yeah that's a good idea. why do anything else with your spare time when you can just dedicate it all to dust while you play catchup and try to hit your life time sp cap? 
Why play Dust when I can just do something productive with my life for a year and come back to find that I have the exact same SP as someone who played 24/7 during that entire year?
I dislike this idea for the same reason I disliked your idea of removing the active cap altogether, it removes some of the incentive to actually play. We already went over this a month ago remember? This isn't EVE, it's a shooter that just so happens to share it's lore with EVE. |

Incentive to play = ISK and salvage and annihilating red dots. If you are saying this isn't like EVE and "it's a shooter" What incentive is there to play other FPS games like Call of Duty?
They get these fancy things called "call signs" to boost their e-peens, and both CoD and battlefield have a SP system. You don't get to hit "Prestige" in CoD if you never play, I never certainly never did  |

i don't really care if you dislike my idea, you're a vocal minority that presumably has more than enough time to chill on these forums and grind to high hell in dust.
so just to put it plainly, you'd rather a large chunk of the player base fall behind week after week- and if for some UNKNOWN reason they quit they'd be at an even bigger disadvantage if they even considered coming back to this game?
yeah nice input. here i'll even give you a like for that gem... because you know, who plays this game to have fun right?
I haven't hit all of my caps, I only have about 4.6 mill SP, but I also don't expect to receive any SP for not playing. |

True...
let me put it to you this way.
You get a job selling widgets that pays on commission and by the hour. You sold 200 widgets and worked 40 hours, your co-worker also "worked" 40 hours, but only sold 4 widgets. Would you be okay with both of you getting the exact same paycheck? |

Why cry about not hitting cap? The purpose of the cap is to keep everyone else from advancing too much ahead of you. why not just have everyone hit that cap guarenteed and give players who do play more their same cap to hit with some extra skillpoints afterwords? that'd do exactly what you're saying but would keep the gap even smaller.
How about, double the passive Sp gained, and reduce the SP for time spent in matches from 5 SP per second to 2 SP per second? I think that would get us the same result... I think. |
