I had so much fun playing in academy. Players around me had weapons and armors on around the same level. And then suddenly i was pushed to new battle tier LOL. Now i must play against players with level 5 weapons and armors, with gazzilions of shield/armor HP. Most of them pawn me with 2 shots.

I told myself "Ok, i have enough time now to play alot and catch up". Now imagine what i felt when i learned about weekly SP cap.

I found this information on Dust 514 wiki : "Dust 514 has a cap on how many active skill points you can earn in a week, in order to retain some balance between casual and hardcore players."
Please explain me how this is supposed to keep "balance". It is not about balance, weekly
cap has been made to provide hardcore players with easy targets. I simply cant get good enough to play against them with a CAP. Now i will be their easy target for months.

There is more. I created new character today, and now you have to make 10000 lifetime WP on the same small MAP, playing the same thing over and over, before getting to next tier. How this is a good idea ?. Its boring, extremly boring and will simply push back many potential players.

So now tell me, how am i supposed to enjoy this game, with no matchmaking, playing against UBERWTF players without possibility to get better fast enough. And now this repetetive academy.

Please forgive me my english.

You will need to develop your skills. Try being a logi. If you can't do that, do what most other skill-less people do..... use a mass driver.

the same statement i made in closed beta trust me i understand the issue right now does not make anything "fair"

im still trying to push it on the forums though we have to give it time

the cap needs removed, a rolling SP count from beginning of release, or a raised cap (least favorite)

A rolling bonus system was stated as being in the works by CCP.

You realize that some of the hardcore players make the argument that the SP cap is there to hold them back in support of newer
players

Don't listen to this, he's obviously butthurt.

Best thing to do is ask around for newbie friendly channels and squad up with people. This game is pretty miserable when you solo but can be a blast in groups. Another good tactic if you're dead set on soloing is to shadow players in better gear.

And those hardcore players are morons. The SP cap is far more damaging to new players then it is hardcore and veteran players. There is no such thing as a Player level gap once you have enough SP in a given class, everything beyond a primary fit is a bonus but in no ways a power advantage.

Not at all, I just think it's sad that some people rely entirely on this weapon.

I will be the first to admit that I could not use an AR to start. But then I started practicing and got better.

Its boring, extremly boring and will simply push back many potential players. This is 200-400 WP per match for a newbie. 50-100 battles on the same small map!!!. I bet half of them will quit because of total boredom. How is this a good idea ?

Yea the changes to the SP system made in february were a temporary solution until a Rollover system could be implemented and how many months has it been? This isn't even on the iterative cycle for all we know. Meanwhile removing the cap would have no development time and could be done today.

Face it the only REAL reason for the cap is to monetize boosters, there are no other reasons that have any true validation.
