Are you For or Against having a weekly/daily/monthly/whatever SP cap or against it and why?
Extra points given for good grammar and sound logic. |

But the SP cap ensures that the SP gap between older players and newer will forever stay wherever it is at the time. As it is, a new player has no hope on catching up with the Beta vets who have between 10 and 17 mil SP.
Another argument against having an SP cap is that SP gives you diminishing returns. Your first 10 mil SP is critical. Your next 10 mil less so. And your next 10 mil after that is not that important at all. Not having a hard cap or a weekly cap would mean new players could get to that point where they will be competitive (6-10 mil SP) sooner.
Another argument against having a weekly cap and a hard cap. Grind is bad. To elaborate further, grind is bad. It is the SP cap that makes this game feel like a job for people.
Another argument against having an SP cap is actually a rebuttal. The premise that having an SP cap will encourage the idea that things like "new loot, more ISK, killing baddies, scamming people, manipulating markets, exploring, etc etc" are how you "progress" in dust is flawed. It's how Dust is supposed to be. How it was sold to be. But it is not the truth. Dust lacks the content for this to be a reality. |

FPS B4 the MMO
According to the Lore of this game, we are supposed to be super elite super soldiers, right? But when you first start playing, you are the furthest thing from that. We can't use anything but the crudest, out of date versions of the elite weapons and we use them ineptly at that? Immersion breaking. |

Another argument against SP caps. Imagine an MMO which capped how much EXP you could get from quests and killing stuff per day/week. It would not go over well... |

The abysmal new character SP and experience should be addressed in another thread or posted about in the Feedback section of the forums. Keep this thread focused on SP cap (though referencing the new player experience is ok) |

rebuttal - skill progression should not be the driving force behind playing this game. If a player maxes out their character skill wise and has no other reason to play, that is bad. |
