With the new skill tree (mostly the higher multipliers), it has become really hard to get into a competitive fitting. I'd say you need 5-7 mil sp just to stand a chance against some of the better players out there.
No matter what you say or think, even a skilled player with low sp gets wrecked in STD gear. Sure, some of us can rock std/adv and do pretty good, but we got tons of SP in core skills. our STD is not really STD (who here isn't rocking complex shields on a STD suit?).
So, what can be done to not drive away new players who are constantly being owned by more experienced vets? Increase the rewards for playing. At the current level of SP gain vs the SP costs of progression, advancing feels like a slow, tortuous grind. Only koreans would like this. But if we triple the SP gains (and cap), than new plays can watch as their gear gets better. In a month or two, if they work hard, they can stand on almost even footing with older players (who will always have a slight advantage).
Remember, fps gamers are a competitive lot. If you don't allow them to become competitive in a reasonable amount of time, they will find a game that does.

im massively against this
i dont have many skill points so i wont be in a great proto suit
but the more often we have these 3x sp the harder it is for new players to join
so those people who join the game after that event are just further behind than they were before
If anything i would offer a 3x sp for the first month of your new toon to get people to really try the game for the first month
last thing we need is to increase the gap for new players
im gutted people can run proto suits this early on, it should be something to aim for a year down the line not now
i wish i could run a logi suit now and then work toward getting my proto version in time
you should just be able to join higher skilled games where you earn more if you can handle it at that level
i would do away with the match making and let ppl choose for themselves what level of game they can handle |

I agree, but I just hope CCP does it with cap reset dates in mind this time. |

not a triple SP event, triple the current SP system PERMANENTLY.
Because the benefit of having more SP falls at a exponential rate. Diminishing returns. Someone with 20 mil SP isn't that much better than someone with 10, but 10 is far more than 5, and 5 is a world away from .5. |
