Hello
So sum times i train random alts on one of my four accounts to do things and the one thing that has always annoyed me was the need to *stop* a skill training on one char to then quickly spend a day training something on another.
So i was curious how hard it would be to implement an idea were say if im on an alt and want to train a skill to lvl 1 for something. Could when you click *train now to level 1* it would say *do u want to pause skill training on taranius de consolvile?*
Just wondered if this would be considered a good idea or a bad idea |

training two chars at half speed= training one char at full speed= auto pausing one chars training so the other can train

How about being able to pay double and triple the amount of a single account to be able to train two and/or three characters at the same time on the same account?
Good bye account per alt. |

Would never work
What im suggesting is, u make an alt and then u think im gonna train this skill to level 1
U need to log char B
Log on char A
Stop training on A
Log back on B
Start training on B
Rinse and repeat
I think it could be changed |

Off topic but CCP should allow you to link accounts to a single core account or email. When logged in you can switch between all characters on said linked account, and have multiple instances up so long as they are on separate alternate accounts. That way you don't need to remember multiple account infos or keep logging on and off to switch accounts. This would also mean CCP would need to create a "Log off to character screen", but that should have been done years ago. |

I would love to be able to have all three characters on the account use the one training queue. Thus if I have four skills queued up with 1-10 hours of training time, then I log to my alt and queue up a bunch of other 1 hour skills, and each character would be making use of the account's training time as the queue progresses.
No more "that other character on this account is training", just slot the skill in there (or kick out the other characters' training queues).
It would also be nice if training could be paused when clone jumping and then automatically restarted. With the all-characters-share-one-queue idea, there would no longer be the issue of "do we restart training on the active character?" Just pause the queue in all circumstances, then restart the queue in all circumstances.
Excellent idea. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Keep in mind such an option would enable people to increase the training queue way past 24 hours. Since you can always end your queue with a long skill, one could simply place 20-30 day long skills on each character, giving them the option to train for 60-80 days without ever logging into the account.
Why does CCP not give us a 100 day skill queue from the start then?
I would support the idea if the 24-hour training queue would be shared between characters. Having recently trained 4 extra alts on my 2 accounts I can understand the need to simplify the process. |

I think alt skills should train while your main does. Make the alt train slower, like 50 or 75% slower. |

What better way of achieving that than putting the current character's skill on the queue where you want it?
Main is training Gallente Battleship 5. Alt wants to train Astrometrics 1-3? Stick that on the front of the queue. No need to prevent the main reverting to Gallente Battleship 5 training after the Astrometrics 1-3 has finished for the alt. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Possibly but that could lead to abuse of the system itself

Of course it could be changed. And made much easier.
But ask yourself this. What does CCP get out of making it easier to play on one acct than two? The answer is nothing. It's not in their best interest to have people doing on one acct what they currently do on two. That most assuredly includes character training.

I actually really like this idea, it would only save me about 10 seconds but I am super lazy.
For the same reason, another thing I'd like to see is not having to stop your skill queue when you clone jump or put in implants. The amount of times I've forgotten to turn it back on, man........I could probably fly a titan by now -_- |

This was proposed before elsewhere:
Basic Account - $15 a month, can train once character. Silver Account - $20 a month, can train two characters at once. Gold Account - $25 a month, can train all three characters at once.
Advantages over multiple accounts: It's cheaper and you only need one login for up to three characters.
Disadvantage over multiple accounts: You can still only have one character logged in at once.
Therefore it would be an alternative to multiple accounts for those who don't feel the need or compulsion to "multi-box" the game. Multiple account still have their place, of course, such as "one person" mining fleets with two Hulks and an Orca. What this would do is create a larger market for specialized alts. For example: You are a PvPer, but also want to dabble in T2 blueprints or something. You're main character that you use most of the time can train your ship skills. Your "science alt" can repsec & focus entirely on just those skills needed for T2 production. Or you can have an alt just for flying jump freighters while your main stays in their warship. Or a dedicated industrialist can train their main as a pro miner and their alt as a backup to open up more production lines for their products. Most common, I believe, would be dedicated PI alts and Corporate Management alts (thus allowing you to maximize Trade, Retail, Accounting, Corporate Management, etc while your main is off doing more interesting things).
Doing any of these tasks now sadly requires multiple accounts (because if you only have one account then why train an alt when you can just keep training your main to do the same thing?)
Another advantage to this over multiple accounts is that when you're done training your specific function alts you can just go back to a Basic Account again.
Would this cause CCP to lose money? Some, but I think they would actually gain more in the long run. I believe that there are many players who have no desire to run multiple accounts (and all the expense & logistics that go with them) who would have far fewer qualms about just paying a little extra to be able to train multiple characters at once on a single account. Yes, some potential multi-account players might "downgrade" to this, but an entirely new untapped market of the previously mentioned players would be opened, and I think that market would more than exceed the difference. |
