The 190k cap is probably fine in my opinion, but I would really like the 1k max after that cap to go away and then instead make it so that you get 1 SP for 1 WP with no max. This way you could get 2-4k SP for a skirmish match usually.

You are supposed to get SP slowly in this game.

SP progression is fine.

People aren't leaving Dust due to any SP concerns, they're leaving mostly due to poor matchmaking or boredom. We need new things to do, PVE, new modes, new maps, but most importantly we need a matchmaker that pits players against each other relative to their abilities so that we don't have as much pubstomping.

It's primarily the pubstomping that causes new players to leave.

And those who do stay realize that MCC afking is better than playing :I

I think the problem is RISK v Reward, at the moment with 3x SP my risk is worth the reward. Afterwards I will just continue to AFK unless with a group of friends, or there aren't many blueberries running around with flaylocks.

Then what's the point in playing the game?

I hope it will get better and fun will outweigh risk/reward ratio :)

You should just leave.

You are part of the problem. AFKers are also a black eye on Dust.

Stop playing if it isn't fun, and come back when it is. You already get passive SP in this game, how lame do you have to be to still AFK?

I do play, I play every game but once I die twice back to the MCC :). Gotta keep my costs low.

Think of it this way: If your SP gain was 100% passive where we all gained the same SP no matter how often we played, how many people do you think would log in?
Now, if we had PVE, PC that mattered, more maps, modes, etc... how many people do you think would log in regularly?

That's why you run militia, or cheap fits. Have some economic sense.

AFKing is like cutting in line at the grocery store. You might blame the store for having a long line, but you don't cut because it's rude to the rest of the people in line. AFKing is rude to the rest of the people on your team, and makes you look like a douche.

This is true I will try and change my habits, but the fact cannot be denied that at some point most players can say that the reward for actually playing is not rewarding enough. The reason being that CCP rewards players for time spent in the game not for actual gameplay performance. I can run around get myself 1K WP and get like 8K SP and lose 100K ISK, I can also stay in the MCC and get like 6K SP and make 150K ISK. This should not be like this, the first scenario should reward with enough SP and ISK to reflect my performance, inversely the person in the MCC shouldn't get anything.

The reason matchmaking is such a problem is because it pits newbies with vets and it is unfair for them because of the grind required to get competitive versus the vets.

Full passive SP would solve many issues.

in a world were it is grief the other guy first, then line cutting really isn't that bad compared to that and its not like i im taking anything away from them, the win/lose doesn't matter. so that makes me look like a douche, so can i have your tears then.

In a world were a 2 Billion ISK theft is allowed...
