Is it to limit those who have the time to play frequently?
A deterrent to keep dedicated players from playing too much?
A way to ensure that newer players aren't at too much of a disadvantage?
A punishment for playing a game whom one enjoys too much?
A way to keep players from reaching endgame too quickly?
Seriously, what is the point behind the SP cap? I want a legitimate answer as to why when players hit the cap, they are limited to receiving anywhere from 450 - 1500 SP max with an Active Booster equipped. |

The aim of the skill cap is to ensure players progress through the skill tree at a steady pace, to dis-incentivize 24/7 grinding and to maintain a manageable gap between casual and hardcore players.
Thanks for the straightforward answer.
It just hurts when I have an awesome match and at the end of the match receive 1500 SP leaving me to be like "oh yeah, I hit the cap two days ago..." |

Yeah, hows this working out so far? LOL Out of 90% of the new players mouth, " SP gap is to much. "
That's a good point. I had a friend start playing DUST a few days ago and we squadded up. He told me how he had ~700K SP and then asked how many I had which I then told him pushing 9mil, his reaction was - f***. |

I know that if I was not in the closed beta and did not have 10 million SP I would not be playing this game. Flame all you want but 90% of the vets would not play this game if they had to start from scratch. And STFU to anyone that will get on here and say that you would play even if you didn't have your 10+ Million SP's
I've also been around since the closed beta, and the only reason I don't have 13 - 15mil SP is because I stopped playing for a good while.
I'll be honest, if I had to start from scratch as if CCP did a full stat wipe of all players I'd uninstall DUST so fast it wouldn't be funny.
I cannot even fathom having to start all over with 500K SP again...that's why I don't have an alt, I just can't do it.
