I'm in favor of passive SP, too. But if CCP worries about their active player base (which might or might not be a valid concern), they could at least introduce a booster that lets you gain all the SP of the weekly cap fully passive. This way, dedicated players who don't like to grind don't have to. All the Dust haters won't be buying boosters anyway, and instead will keep chasing their carrot and keep the server populated every day.
And before people start crying "pay to win!", it's not. Such a booster wouldn't even grant additional SP, it's just a way of paying for convenience, in this case, the convenience of not having to grind like a freakin machine for hours every day. And I can tell you this: the only reason why I ever considered playing Eve Online was precisely because I don't have to grind for SP in Eve. I know no matter how little I play, my character will be progressing steadily as long as I keep throwing some money at CCP (which is a fair deal imho). |

Well you seem to get the point. I play games to relax and be entertained. I usually do it after I've spent 9 hours at work every day where I earn the money that I spend on the games I play. I do not want to fell like I'm working when I play a game (aka grinding). I earn every kill and evey piece of gear I use through my actions in the game, there's no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to earn SP through my loyalty to the developer of this game. |

Is there really no reason you can think of at all? How about for the people who worked hard to get where they're at right now.. only to just find out had they waited a bit, all that couldn't came passively without lifting a finger.. This thread upsets me.
I don't see your point. I'm not saying you should get SP that you didn't earn in the past retroactively awarded to you by using a booster. Once a booster for passive-only SP is introduced, everybody has the choice of either grinding for their SP, or buying that booster. I don't see a problem, the hard work you did in the past does not lose its value. But I really don't think any game should be about "working hard", it's a game and not a job.Grinding in a game is a terrible concept, period. |

What game is there that you dont have to work to get an edge on other players?
I don't know about you, but I play my games. There is a difference between making an effort at playing a game, and grinding away like a machine. If you don't see that, I can't help you. |
