Please Remove (or raise) the 10 rank SP cap

So gaining sp is an indicator of how much fun you have?

No, gaining SP is an indicator of how much you are rewarded for killing harder stuff. Right now, you are rewarded the same for killing hard mobs as much as you are rewarded for killing medium mobs.

There should be a dlvl cap, but 10 is way too small.

[BloodLotus]

Nope, not worth it.

But that's no way to make a video game that is supposed to reward skill.

Playing a game that has no real value to your life isn't worth it.
Skill in a video game... don't get me started.

So then kill medium mobs and get your sp efficiently.

This is totally wrong. You're rewarded LESS because it takes longer to kill the hard mob, so your SP/hr goes way down.

That doesn't mean that I haven't killed difficult stuff for S&G.

One of the goals in an RPG is to grow your character via SP. The devs have stated that they wish to reward skillful play. Capping the SP gain at dlvl 10, within the current design of the game, does not fulfill those 2 objectives.

If you dont care, why are you hear? We want the change, its not like you're even against it you just dont care so why are you here?

That does not fulfill the stated design objectives like I mentioned in the previous post. It does not create a consistent reward vs risk curve.

This is totally wrong. You're rewarded LESS because it takes longer to kill the hard mob, so your SP/hr goes way down.

I'm talking in terms of SP per kill, not SP per hour, since that's how the question was framed.

I know that SP/hr when killing harder mobs is less.

I knew what you meant, I just wanted to use the opportunity to raise the point that even if we wanted to kill higher rank stuff "for kicks" we're actually penalized for doing so in our SP/hr.

Also, I can't reconcile BloodLotus's posts with... himself:

Also yes for a more interesting grinding experience for all classes.

If you want a more interesting grinding experience, then why wouldn't you want more stimulating fights?

So currently you can't grow you character via SP?

And they don't reward skillful play? Currently, sure. But what's planned in the future that we're all looking forward to isn't a cap increase.

Its not fun just beating up the same mobs day in day out in order to get the best SP gain, i wanna fight orge's but there is absolute no point, it reduces your SP gain so you could go fight one for shits n giggles, but no one will EXP on them, so i have to go back to the same old stuff.
