That is not true. You can get into and Adv suit and an adv weapon for less than 700k skill points. Don't most players start with 500k? Advanced armor/weapons with militia modules in the right hands can easily go toe to toe with weak Proto fit. |

A rollover system is nice, but that helps vets more than new players...
Quite the opposite, it allows new players to catch up to vets if they put the extra time in. |

Schalac 17 wrote:They should just remove the cap altogether. What purpose does it actually serve? A few months down the line no matter how much you grind you are always going to be behind the 8ball against those that have been in game since open beta with the cap in place. So get rid of it. People are still going to buy boosters because more is more, and cap or no cap someone is still going to grind more than you do.
Because having a cap fosters players doing something other than straight killing all day. Without a cap, people wouldn't slow down to do more meaningful things like take control of a planet, because they are super worried about falling behind in skill points and must play every second they are on instead of forming a team and waiting for a PC match to start.
Later, when they add more non-straight FPS action, this will be even more important as they may need to wait for EVE support for this added content, and some won't be bothered if that means taking 3 hours out of their 'grind' time. People complain about a grind all the time, without a cap of some sort, the grind never ends, ever.
With a rolling cap, the newbies can put more effort in and get up to "pro" level of skill points faster. Which means more able bodies for all the extra content. |
