Most of us would whine. Open beta was.... Well.... Open. If you guys couldn't bothered joining then, maybe you should just chalk it up to being a good thing and play because you enjoy the game.

This is not the answer. If CCP did another reset in 2 months we will have the same issues regarding matchmaking that we currently have.

I do it in a flash ... and i have 5 million SP, and i don't care if i lose all of it. I'm 100% convince, that we need this to balance the game, the SP caps are to big right now.

What do u think they should do so as not to get proto vs scrub matches?

What do we do in a year when someone joins the game? There will always be a gap.

Won't be happening (and i am actually really grateful for it - Can't be arsed to yet again save months worth of SP to get all the triage equipment and minmatar proto suit).
As mentioned already on multiple occasions, a reset won't do jack. People with aurum will be back on pubstomping proto levels in no time, and then you have a largely pissed-off group that has lost ~10m in SP to some people on the Forum who then would be confronted with the "where is your fantastic balanced world now"
New players already are "protected" by the newb matchmaking (unless i am wrong and the mechanic hasn't been activated yet), which will ensure that those newbies will have a sufficient amount of SP before they play with the "big guys".

oh well, look like i waste passive booster if that the case.

True.. but hopefully by then, we will have a fully working Planetary Conquest game mode, so people with Pro gear will have not reason to go to PUB matches.

why would it be a waste?

they'd quit:


if there was a chance that these folks would have to gain their suits in the same time period as anyone else, then you would find out most of em are using the suits not because they earned em, but because they need em.

but i still predict at some point there will be a patch that is big enough to mandate a reset and if it's a big enough draw for the masses that aren't here already, the few thousand that are here will get the old "oh well... SEE ya!"

For OP, an SP reset is a horrible idea.

Vets always have an edge over newberries. They have more experience at using the weapons, they have more experience on the maps. They also have more experience working in teams. They know what counters what.

You say you've been playing since open beta - create a new character and play in the battle academy. See how well you do.

What you're asking for will just make newberries complain. All the vets WILL beat them down due to them being more experienced.

I do create new characters use them to test out new weapons and stuff I feel academy battles are the most balanced thing in this game at the moment. People keep saying the game started in open beta which is true but I don't really think we got many new players then now where getting a bunch of new players and the game is officially released.

Hence I think one final reset would benefit the game by putting everyone one an even playing field sp and isk wise yes the vets that have played since close beta will have an advantage due to knowing the maps not because of there 12 million sp and proto everything destroying the new people that enter. That does not help the game if all the people that join within the first week or ao get sick of it and quit due to constant death that should come a year later. The new people should be getting wrecked a few months to a year down the road by proto not the first week of a game releasing.
