Wouldn't it be a great if we could play 5-10 PC battles a week and be able to cap out on SP? How do you feel about this? I believe this would help veteran players who are drained of this game. I also believe this would help limit the number of core players who are forced to play pubs, thus helping the newer players have a little more room to breath in pubs.
If you support this idea post in this thread

we can discuss pros and cons here in GD |

its not just about how long it takes to grind away. its about having to go through sooooooo many bugs that cause dumb deaths and the playerbase being such trash that some of us would rather spend our time playing with our corp and people who we trust. |

Then why not do Factional Warfare instead? Those are much more frequent then they used to be. I'm not entirely opposed to giving PC more skill points, but not so much that you can be finished in 5-10 matches. Also to the guy who was capped out going into the PC match yesterday . . . how? That's not even 2 days into the SP week . . . perhaps you should spread out your game time a bit 
FW is the same as pubs, sure you can q-sync but its a hassle trying to get both your squads in on the same team. plus it takes longer to start a match of FW let alone it being a redline almost every time. PC gives us something to fight for and even if we were to redline the other team we still feel more excited about it because we are actually fighting over terf. |

read my edited link, my idea does not reward more sp on top of what we would get from just playing pubs. it allows us to reach our cap faster and after that we receive the normal 1000-1500 sp, even if playing another PC battle |

PC gives your corps big money, big money to get you into another territorial rush, free proto's or freebie tanks provided by your corps, why would this also pad your skills. When things like Faction Warfare (which is a money maker in Eve) has no benefits yet, why should PC offer not only great payouts for the winner and an SP boost?
If we were talking about a game that was more fleshed out for all play styles (Drone NPC Missions for the carebears much like mining for Eve carebears, Faction Warfare with actual meaning and rewards for the middle ground aswell as pub matches, and PC for the "null sec l337" players) then perhaps. But right now, with so few districts and such a high monetary hurdle to overcome to even get into PC, throwing on a SP hurdle will only hurt your game, actually all of our games, in the long run. no im not talking about PC giving us increased SP gain on top of what we already get. what i mean is this......as soon as the reset happens on wednesday, if a play 6-10 PC battles during that week then i should be able to cap out on sp. this only means that i would cap out very early. once i cap out then every other battle should reward the normal 1000-1500 sp And I understand that, but it will still be an unfair skill progression for those with versus those without. I know you, you are a good player, but I will assume that as things are now you usually cap out about Saturday or Sunday right? Two days of 1k-1.5k SP, and yes I know this sucks as you feel like you are doing sod all for two days or so, but we all run into this issue to some degree, but if PC allows you to cap out earlier you are not only getting your SP cap, but increasing the time you have to grind out the 1k-1.5k SP, thus multiplying how much SP you can get versus what those without can.
you have no idea on how burnt out some of us are of this game. also, even if it gave us more time to grind (which i doubt many people will still be grinding away) getting 1000-1500 sp a match won't get us anywhere |

ok so what if they made it so it would take upwards say 9-15 PC battles a week to cap out. dont think every one will be playing 5 matches a day anyway, some people will have to sub out and sub in |

edit: 72,000 sp from over 4 weeks is nothing What if simply holding a District gave you a x.5 Active SP boost, not to be stacked, that drops at Cap (ie SVER would not get X4.0 boost, only the first district counts). It gets you about the same effect I suppose and in theory still gets you close to what you want without making life suck for all the players that dont have districts?
no that would actually make it worse for those without districts, my idea allows even smaller corps to attack others and still gain alot of sp without needing to hold a district. if you attack and win, you receive max sp (30-40k) and if you lose you still receive more than a reg skirmish game |

i doubt this game will last 3 years. but anyway, i understand what you are saying but you gotta understand that in a few weeks many corps wont be losing 80 mill isk per clone pack because many corps already have their districts to farm free clones. so you really wont be spending any isk to purchase clones because you make them yourself. but this does add to who ever is defending. but still i dont think it is that big of a deal anyway |
