This idea has been brought up several times, and the argument I hear in response is always the same: The SP boosters are most attractive to players with low SP, so why should CCP essentially give it to them for free?
I'm not saying that's my viewpoint, but it is a viewpoint. Personally I think the only way to improve player retention is to improve the game as well as add core features such as PVE. Throwing SP at the problem is the cheap way out. |

I don't think PVE is very far off at all. At Fan Fest 2012 they said it would be available that same year. Of course their focus has changed, but if they were able to say that back then, then it must not be too insanely far off. In fact, if anyone would like to place an ISK bet, I bet you PVE will come in the next major expansion (the winter expansion later this year) which coincidentally aligns with when CCP said they plan to begin marketing Dust 514 on TV and other outlets. |

I hope so but both CCP Eterne and Iron Wolf have stated that content releases are on the back burner until core mechanic's are solid, as much as six months was stated. I personally would consider that a while. Well that doesn't mean they are not going to release any new content. I mean, after they made that statement we still got the Commando suit in Uprising 1.2. Also in a way PVE is a core mechanic to a shooter.
Plus unless things have changed, CCP is still doing the 2 major updates per year like they do with EVE. This summer Dust got Uprising and EVE got Odyssey, next winter they will each get their next. It would sure be strange to see a major update not include any new content. |
