"Show of hands, who buys the SP boosters and then stops at less sp than the boosterless cap?"
If you do this, that is on you! Don't waste your money! That would be like going and buying a large Meat Lover Pizza, then throwing 3/4 of it away. No one is forcing you to buy boosters. If you aren't going to maximize your gain using them, why buy them in the first place?
"Right now AUR boosters just give you an edge over free players, they don't actually reduce the grind."
AUR is only supposed to give you a slight advantage, not make it pay to win. How does it not reduce the grind? A new player using boosters will gain SP much faster than a new player not using boosters. This will allow the boosted player to reach a point of having all core skills maxed faster than the non-boosted player, thus reducing the grind.
If one doesn't want to pay $28 a month for boosters, don't! It's as simple as that. I've been playing since mid March. I have only used one 7 day active and one 30 day passive booster.
Ultimately it is the player's choice whether or not to use boosters.
Your entire model is structured to where one would necessarily be forced to buy boosters in order to ever have hopes of being competitive.
Everyone
1SP per WP total for free players? Seriously? You are aware that most new players only make about 500 WP in a match aren't you? How would this reduce the grind? Oh, that's right "pay to win"
The Froob
The Casual
Pay to win much?
The Instant
So instead of fixing the problem of AFKers, just let them buy their SP? Seriously?
??????
Your plan = the more you pay, the more you excel. This flies in the face of any Free to Play model.
Removing passive SP gain is a terrible idea! This would only widen the rift between the casual players and the die hard no lifers.
If you would like to kill DUST 514 once and for all, this would be the way to do it. |

This may be true, but my argument is simply pointing out the fail in your suggestion.

For players who don't pay, you are more than doubling the grind.

For players who do pay, they are buying more than 2x the SP they actually earn lol, or simply outright buying all SP they would otherwise have to actually play the game and earn.

Insulting me because I disagree and make perfectly valid points as to why your idea is garbage is immature and only makes you look like an insecure little basement troll.
You failed thinking at the first hurdle, sir. |
