I'm kinda surprised to see no further CPM or dev comments in this thread.

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

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

I'm not getting double anything, no double WP, no double SP. Only thing double is the bonus SP.

[*] Active skill point gain is doubled! Your warpoints earned during the match will be doubled when it is converted into skill points.

From my understanding we will only earn x2 SP from War Points, which means that if you get 800 WP in a match you'll get 1600 SP from that instead of 800, on top of the 5 WP/sec you earn from just being in the battle. So it's far from a true Double SP event.

Aye, that seems to be true too. While I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, I would like double WP and double Active Booster SP as described in the OP.

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.

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

Respect for being understanding and not one of those ranting around.

Looks you might've misunderstood few things:
* The WPs are the same but when converted into total SP rewards their value is doubled to usual. Effectively giving about +20% total increase (+/- 10%)

* There has been no talk about active booster effectiveness increase. Although a bit confusing terminology, this time the "active skill point gain" only refers to actively gained part of your SP rewards which are the WPs.

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

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.

Did anyone cap out yet? Can we confirm that you only need 500 warpoints to reach the 1000 sp per match soft cap?

I'm not even sure if there has been near enough time for that! I got half of it yesterday and that was playing ALL day.

Same. I played all of yesterday with some match totals even breaking 3000 War Points earned (I think my average was over 1500 WP yesterday, thanks to my corpies letting me squad lead) and even with those totals throughout hours of play I still have around 170k worth of cap left.

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!!
