Hello @Redthorne ,
Putting it another way, In my opinion I would rather see an update that tackles the issue at the root and benefits all players (f2p and p2w) than going this route.
There is a compelled feeling with it, people tend to want to make use of their full money's worth as much as they can.
But gold wil be bought less. I'm paying for 6month membership on 2 servers every year so that would be 140k + 140k =280k gold. With this change that spent amount is halved, and that's just the membership
The price of boosters would have to be increased to compensate in that scenario I feel, but I could be wrong.

Long time no speak Genji.
If PG wanted to increase the sales of boosters they shouldn't have made them so ridiculously expensive in the first place, for me personally primarily pertaining to the ultimate boosters.
Not only that, also the quantities in which the gold is being sold, for a supernova memebership which is being sold at 26,800 gold (no discount), why is there no option to just...buy 30k gold, why either 55k gold or mess around with 20k then 3.6k twice over.
Either way, for the price you pay vs what you get in return it's incredibly expensive, and I bought all my boosters when there wasn't discount event going on, rip to my wallet, that's 180k gold (rounded up, too lazy), that's €80 give or take for a single character per MONTH. For that money I can get the best damn internet which is like 2GBP/s up and down for a month as well and I can use that for quite literally everything, imagine if I could only use that internet speed for a single website.
Ngl at this point I'm rather sleep deprived so happy new years all the same but my point still stands, any other game and it's your global account that benefits from you buying anything irregardless of how expensive it is, not just a singular character. This could partially disincentivize people from playing multiple servers but the biggest reason why people don't is the grind itself, especially Sirius (and having to regrind every damn gold in the game).
And if you want a data point on players that bought boosters on multiple servers, I did so on Askone and Solaria at the same time when I got burned out on Solaria and my point still stands because it wouldn't be worth it to spend €160 on two servers at once monthly, that's an insane amount of money for any singular game to spend on concurrently and consistently.
Of course let's not get started on the RDX/Parsecs blueprints you can buy with gold because that's €100 right down the drain and you can't even fly the ship, you still need to grind for a long time to actually start building it and flying it
Right as a side note, why hasn't the 'jumpship is ready for the next jump' message been altered yet and spammed to a lesser frequency, because it no longer has cooldown states?
Again happy new year and gl making any sense of this I slept through the entire day and only been awake for an hour and a half
