CCP needs to uncap the SP and let people actually grind out some of these skills. Boosters will actually be Boosters and reduce the time in which it takes to grind versus paying to raise the cap and gain a paid advantage over players.

If you're going to go in any extreme, make it 100% passive.

Remove cap? No way in hell is that a good idea.

Raise Cap? I can see this being a reasonable idea, within certain limits.

While caps can be frustrating because it essentially makes half the week a waiting game, what you suggest would allow people to grind their specializations in a week's time. Not only that, no cap would exacerbate the AFK issue even more, as people would just AFK 24/7 until they got all their skills maxed out. The cap right now is put in place to prolong the life of the game which is great. I don't think anyone wants to see teams with full proto running around because they happened to have more time to play/be AFK.

No, its needs to be uncapped or capped with roll over. Otherwise new players are gonna be stuck far far behind. I've watched new players try the game out first hand and get frustrated after 2 matches and give up on the game.

You're just an Open Beta carebear who will probably end up in a PVE guild anyways. Your opinion doesn't matter.

Uncapping the SP is the only way to deal with the current SP sink.

He wants to max everything out in a week

Nope

This is an outdated argument. This might have worked back in january, but currently the top % of players have everything they need maxed out, and are working on their secondary specialization. Characters grow wider not taller in DUST. Eventually everybody catches up.

EVE is about time.

The increase in time is a good thing.

So then you want it to be passive?

I dont think you will like waiting for something level 5 which will take 3 weeks to get

I've always been advocating for an uncapped Active SP system based upon performance. Where people actually have to play well in order to get SP, but that wouldn't be fair to bad players now would it?

This isn't EVE though......oh and before you say well it's like eve hardy ha ha and should be all passive like eve, if that's the case then give us our suit HP back per tier or flatten the eve ships HP.

I suggest that CCPs purpose for the game is not for you to sit at the top of the SP heap.

It's about playing the game and progressing over time. Boo hoo, you'll have to work and actually wait a while to max out your character in the release version. Boo hoo.

Cry me a river you big babies.

Currently Active SP isn't active SP. I've explained it time after time again. It's ridiculous how people don't get it. DUST514 DOES NOT HAVE ACTIVE SP. Your not rewarded SP for your performance in battle. SP is passively rewarded for participation in battle. People currently have the SP to run full proto and continue to wipe the floor with players such as yourself come monday.

The Arms race has been over for months. A majority of the playerbase that wasn't able to stay ahead of the curve lost. Quit acting like a carebear, because people are going to beat up on you and take your stuff on the 14th. The cap has nothing to do with prolonging the life of the game. PC is what's going to give this game life. The faster people are able to skill up and participate the better.

Caps only ensure that the current bad players who have SP keep an advantage over new players who could just be severely under leveled. I'm going to call a spade a spade and say the majority of the DUST population is terrible, and hide behind an SP cap, because they know it's the only thing that gives them an advantage over some of the newer players that are actually better than them.
