We (CPM) still haven't had talks nor have I had a chance to look at the item to verify its function. But form the sounds of it its a 2x passive booster basically and not the 100% of the bonus SP as passive per week.

Either way I am hoping that Omega keeps to it name sake and remains that way.

Base passive is 24,000
W/ booster 36,000 (1.5x or 50%)
W/ omega booster 48,000 (2x or 100%)

yup that's it 12k sp a day(normal) or 24k sp a day over none booster.. whats the issue here? that in a week you get 168k sp.(84ksp for the normal booster) its not a big deal. I have over 10mil sp so I actually not look into not getting booster at all because its just not that helpful anymore.

That's an issue i forsee to get much more prevalent with too strong boosters. That's one reason why i believe that there may not be any 3x 4x or boosters.

When you get better gear for cash than anyone can get on their own then you'll have something to talk about. Taking a bit of a shortcut, or experimenting with stuff before you spend points to skill into it, are not pay to win. I'm sure somebody will come along and say it much better than I.

I can perfectly live with their current multiplier and if the non promotional offer stays around the 40-45k mark i'll probably use them just as intended. Actives made me feel obliged to play as much as possible and therefore never really felt fitting for me.

I'm more concerned about the impact it might have on consumer impression. There's always that point where an offer, when too powerfull to miss, turns from incentive to coercion. People like having the option to pay for a better experience (in this case quicker progress). But when those boosters get too strong people might start feeling like the game is trying to force them to buy and suddenly perceive their experience as so much more inferior just because the option exists. This can turn people away from the game and therefore spending money they would have spent eventually on the 50% boosters.

Pseudogenesis Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 11	Posted - 2013.05.22 03:04:00 - [21] - Quote If the only rule for it not being pay2win is "As long as it doesn't provide something you can't get with ISK or time then it's not P2W", then why stop at 2x? Why not offer a 1000x SP bonus for the sum of 1,000,000 aurum? It's flawed logic if you ask me.

That's one reason why i believe that there may not be any 3x 4x or boosters. even if there was 5x active booster I probably at this point would not buy it because I simply don't need it and CCP is losing the battle of why I should invest in the game(for me). im pretty sure once more people can fill a role up completely with sp boosters are going to get stronger but less people are going to use them because the reason to go outside your role to much isn't really there.

Absolutely right. I'll quote myself from here if i may: Malkai Inos wrote: [...]and i would supect that giving them these stronger boosters might lead to them paying more for the stronger boosters but also stop buying earlier because they don't see the purpose of generalization and therefore stop seeing SP as worth paying money for I hope CCP is aware of this as i am convinced that you aren't the only one feeling that way.

Great point, Im just going to buy these boosters with isk i dont mind these at all its just the cost is high, i would love to run boosters all the time, but at this cost for 30 days its not worth it would rather drop my money on another game where the value is worth more
