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. 0.02 ISK Cross Wow so what you're saying is that the "double SP" really only gets you to 1000 SP in a match faster and after that you're capped? This is more like a x1.2 SP + x2 SP Cap Event.
Not quite, SP gained from WP earned is doubled after each match while SP gained from time within the match is reduced.
I think the confusion stems from the 'soft cap'. Once you reach soft cap only the first 1000 WP earns you SP and that's on a 1:1 basis, however before you reach the soft cap the SP gained from WP is limited only by your weekly pool.
So it's double weekly cap, double SP gained from WP earned per match (soft cap notwithstanding).
Then you factor in your Active Booster if you are currently running one.

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?
Case in point.

Just double WP SP which is usually 1:1. So it's not truly double sp though it is double cap. |

Ah I'm not active enough in game due to busy work. Not really a recruitment officer but you could try contacting Palatinate or Heavy Salvo about recruitment. |

The double skill point gain applies to all matches played in DUST 514 for the duration of the event.
Weekly skill point cap is set to 380,800 (that is double the normal 190,400!).
Passive skill point gain from matches are NOT doubled, this is to discourage AFK farming.
Active skill point gain is doubled! Your warpoints earned during the match will be doubled when it is converted into skill points.
DonGÇÖt forget to take advantage of this event and maximize your skill point gains with active skill boosters, so stock up on those before the event starts! We are also working on bringing you more variations of the skill point events in the coming months, so be sure to check our announcements regularly for more updates.

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.

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. |

Not sure what it stands for. 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. |

Basically this. AFK means away from keyboard(originally a PC term). As for screwing your team it depends on when and where you do it(domination on Oceania is virtually empty). |

I have to say that more events are great, however while I have seen my cap amount doubled, I don't think my SP gained per match is being doubled as I've been getting the same 6 to 10k a match with my active booster that I always get (and no, I don't afk)
I noticed that there are some new breakdowns of what counts for double and that makes me wonder if that's why that red-berry was spinning around firing his gun last night shooting into the air because it made him "active" in the match? |

Away From Keyboard. And since Dust supports KB&M setups, it's one of the few console games in which you can use that term accurately lol |

This event was a total failure for us casual players. Some of us don't have the time for the double grind of skill points due to our jobs (in my case) or school or whatever. Trying to penalize people who AFK only ended up penalizing us. |

This event was a great success for dedicate players. Some of us were able to easily double grind the skill points and continued to gain extra points after cap while balancing jobs or school or whatever. Penalizing people who AFK is a step in the right direction, but the implementation could use some polish.
Personally I was able to earn 1.23 mil SP due to this event, between my active booster, omega passive, and playing after cap. |

This was a good event, but the only problem i found was when i had created a new character for my partner, she didn't get the double skill points and also found that i was only getting the double skill points in domination. |

Now the event is over I can confirm I wasn't getting double WP or Active Booster. Now I'm grinding the "normal" cap I'm getting pretty much the exact same amount of SP as I normally do irrespective of the event.
While I appreciate the event and extra SP, I, like others, have found the event to be a massive grind fest (more than normal!). I run 3 characters and by the time I finished all 3 I was nearly burnt out and even contemplating not playing for a while. I guess this isn't the kind of reaction CCP would hope for.
The previous event (Tripple SP), the WP and Active Booster was correct, I was getting between 25K and 35K per match, meaning the grind wasn't as taxing. This event was the complete opposite.
Please CCP, can you c/d that WP and Active Booster was borked during this event? |
