I haven't logged in yet, but will the 3x SP that I had left yesterday still be there + the extra 3x boost? (I had something like 300k left at DT).

Reason I ask is because whoever grinded all that booster ISK yesterday, basically gets another one today. So say they didn't play Wednesday at all and got the full bonus, then they grinded on Thursday and capped out. At this point they gained 570k SP. Now when they come back on today they will have another 570k SP at their disposal. Whereas somebody like me who didn't cap yesterday, would be out all that SP that I didn't grind and would only walk away with 570k + whatever I managed to get while playing Thursday.

I get the complaint that Joe gets more sp than you because he grinded Thursday instead of Wednesday, but that in itself is a hypothetical situation. Bring me a fair feasible solution to this mistake, that ccp apologized for and remedied within 24hours, and then I'll understand your complaint. Otherwise they made the best decision they could and as fast as they could and I respect them for that.

Yeah it is mathematically impossible to apply the same formula to both Wednesday cappers and Thursday cappers to create an even and balanced outcome. And what CCP chose does yield the higher possible SP outcome for those who capped on Wednesday (vs giving everybody an additional 380k on their cap). Granted for a quick lube job they chose pretty well, but obviously the ultimate solution would be to give the Wednesday cappers an additional 380k, while giving the Thursday cappers nothing. There has got to be an easy way for them to identify the amount of SP people get and filter accordingly. It's a simple if statement. if (date >= July 3rd && date <= July 10th && player earned SP > 0) // DT times would be exact of course { player earned SP - player earned SP } Wholah, anything anybody earned, regardless or how much or how little or active booster effect, would be reset to 0. Then they simply make the cap 570k and everybody is 100% equal.
