Don't these guys already have a ton of SP?
After hitting 5s in the main skills of his class/role SP has diminishing returns...(hell every level has diminishing returns to be honest) sure now you have a main role and half way there for a secondary role you can shift into to.
Seriously a guy who had 7 million sp then got 600,000 more SP is not benefited all that much.
Someone like me who went from 2 million to 2.6 million got a huge buff.
The people who benefited the most are the players who just joined the game. And that was who the event was meant to benefit.
Great timing on CCP part by the way. It filled a good gap between their ad campaign of two or three months ago and their new campaign for and after the release. It kept those relatively new players hooked until uprising. |

Unfair for whom? Those that have spare time and are short on money are quite happy with them. I'm not sure how an unannounced, single day event where players "in the know" with the ability to free up 10-15 hours for grinding can get a three week advantage could possibly be considered anything resembling "fair". The last thing this game needs is more ways for the vets to pull ahead of the SP curve.
No one cares about you. Let me repeat that NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.
This was designed to make new players at a specific time between advertisement pushes happy so CCP can stay in business. Fair has nothing, nor should it have anything, to do with being fair.
It was a good choice by CCP...now be happy with the 7 million SP you already have and sit down. |

I guess but who cares. SP is only really beneficial to new players. Old players get very small return on it after filling up the skills of their main role.
So ultimately this brings newer players closer up with the older players in terms of gear/skill point abilities.
Plus this is only really a symptom of ccp's choice to put too much value on SP rather then in actual skill in the current configuration of the game. If it was triple WP (with no corresponding bonus to SP) or triple ISk, or triple scavenge no one would care.
You don't see many complaints about the human endurance event do you? Yet human endurance event benefits those no life players as well.
CCP made a mistake with SP in general....it looks to me they have started to fix that mistake by closing the gap between talented new players and no talent old players who are sitting on a bunch of SP.
The various nerfs and buffs coming to weapons and gear and skill tree seem to echo this trend. |
