Why would they, with the toxic, self-entitled whining Debbite downers all over the place Shocked

CCP effectively raises the cap, people complain that they aren't getting enough bonuses to SP gain to hit it before Sunday Roll

As I said before, I don't see that it's churlish to point out how this event (sadly) ends up being one which is a grindfest; rather than being fun for it's own sake. CCP and the CPM have specifically spoken about how they don't want future event to be grind-heavy. I feel I've been very measured and reasonable in my posts explaining the reasons why, along with suggesting a possible solution.

Maybe not you, but take a look at the post directly below yours:

August sp event = epic fail!! The only way to earn your cap this week is to lay twice as much Evil

. People like myself with real jobs don't have time for this. Everyone please give a round of applause to ccp for botching probably the most anticipated event they have. Keep up the good work turds!

Tell me again, why would CCP or the CPM want to bother responding when you have people complaining even thought they've lost NOTHING in this event.

I don't expect a response from them or you for that matter. Those of us who haven't been on the game from the beginning, would like to take advantage of these events in order to keep up with these proto's w/ flaylocks and mass drivers. I would imagine ccp runs these events to try and draw more people into there game so they can sink money into it such as myself, but who wants to do that when they are getting dominated right out of the spawning point? You run an event like this so your newer players can gain some ground and actually want to play the game instead of wanting to smash there controller and never play again. Catch my drift or is my logic beyond your thought process troll?

Well that's your problem right there, you're laying twice as much! You should get off your lazy bones ass and Play twice as much!! Then you'd get more sp!! haha! Yeah the p isn't working well on my keyboard. But honestly, unless your a teenage boy with no life who has time for that? I'm a casual gamer who likes to play or "lay" with my free time and I would just like to be competitive and not get stomped out by these proto suits. That's all I'm trying to say.

Someone who comes to these forums to comment only on what other people say and not the subject at hand. Don't get bitter, get better my bored little friend.

Death Dealer86 The Seeds of Fire 2	Posted - 2013.08.09 08:19:00 - [7] - Quote There's a severe gap between the older players with 10 mil+ SP and the newer ones. I have about 7.5 mil SP and I'm still not quite ready to start on Caldari Logistics Dropsuit 4 and 5, and that will take forever. It takes waaaay too long to get to your ideal fit in Dust. It shouldn't 4 months or whatever with boosters. That's ridonkulous. And after a certain point the SP doesn't benefit the older players nearly as much as the newer ones. Older players will use it to spec into vehicles and to add weapons and dropsuits. Newer players need it to complete their first specialization and become somewhat competitive. And let's be honest. A noob's only option in this game is to be either pwned or roflstomped. Not a recipe for retention. They need to have multiple x3 SP events over the next few months to enable newer players to catch up and fully participate in the community. Read this. These guys tell it like it is. http://evenews24.com/2013/08/02/dust-mercs-where-dust-514-went-wrong/[/quote] I read the article and couldn't agree more. Nice post BTW. My ps4 will be here before I know it and if they don't make some big changes by then, they will lose me as a player and probably a whole lot of other people. Bungie the creators of halo are working on a game called Destiny. There is no release date for it yet, but from what people are saying it is going to be everything you would want out of Dust and then some. There is some stiff competition coming so these guys better get it together. Thanks for the good read.

From my understanding it's when someone joins a battle with you and does absolutely nothing. I.e. Standing in the MCC the whole match. By doing this they still accumulate SP but screw their team.
