I have many alt accounts used for testing new content, and some of them have over 4 million SP from collecting passive SP without ever gaining a war point. If I chose to allocate that SP, I could get prototype weapons and dropsuits; that combined with with my knowledge of the game would lead to a very bad time for brand new players trying Dust for the first time.
This is why allocated SP needs to be factored in Instant Battle Academy matchmaking in addition to the existing war point limit. |

Smurfing is a common issue in multiplayer games. I understand your concern, but what is to stop someone from making a second account via PSN and simply Smurfing that way? Not to be negative toward your idea, but people will find a way, especially with the free to play nature of DUST, and the free online for PSN. |

I AM talking about people with second accounts. Its fine if they want to mess with newbies if they're also using new characters with the same relative level of allocated SP as the newbs because the newbs would at least have a chance, but if they have a high allocated SP difference then that is just too much of an advantage, and defeats the purpose of the Instant Battle Academy. |

CCP should base the cut off point for Battle Academy on SP rather than WP. |

It has to be based on allocated SP and not just total SP, because some newb who barely played the game could accumulate a bunch of SO passively, but not be ready to face against experienced vets. |

God man, cranky much? People will always find a way to smurf. SP, WP tracking or not. That's all I'm saying. Frankly, I don't see the big deal anyway, its not like newbies will be spending much time in Academy anyway, due to the relatively low WP threshold to "graduate". |
