... balance? it's unfair to players who actively pay and play all the time? bullocks.
when it's perfectly legal for me to create an alt-account and buy a titan-capable pilot for ISK... and buy ISK through selling GTCs... in essence buy a Titan-capable pilot for real cash... you really can't speak to what is fair or unfair in that sense.
but if we disregard legal-RMT for a bit... two players, one ghost-training, one not. the ghost-trainer leaves for a ~month to train Cruisers V or something. the playing player spends the time running missions or mining, or pvp-ing, or ... anything really. the ghost-trainer returns and is capable of flying all sorts of new cool ships, but his wallet looks exactly the same as it did before he left. the playing player has spend a month making money, and has a fat wallet. balances out nicely, does it not? ... atleast, if we disregard legal-RMT for a bit. :P

Originally by: Horny Scientist Yes yes!!!!!!!! You will all cancel your accounts!!! Thats right, ALL the inactive ghost training accounts!!!!!!!!
they went active whenever they wanted to change their skill-training... and then they were actively playing for a month, sometimes more.
no more. that's revenue lost. pure and simple.

how about a compromise... let it training continue for a week or two, but not longer.
this will help those people who get problems with recurring payments (account is set to keep running, money is available on the bank, but an error causes the account to be suspended anyway... training-time lost). and most of the advanced level 5 skills take three+ weeks to finish completely.

Originally by: Friday Jinx Are you people on drugs? How can you be whining about this change from the company that gives you FREE EXPANSIONS to an MMO?
If CCP feels they need to do this, then let them, you ungrateful babies.
free expansions? we'll see. everything can change.
as CCP has demonstrated quite adequately today.

Originally by: Loyal Servant Holy crap! You can't cancel if you wanted to! They disabled account access!
probably the accountpage cracked under the stress of all those alt accounts being canceled.

CCPs removal of and supposed moderation of certain posts in this thread... No, actually everything CCP has done on this matter so far rather reminds me of Amazon's removal of all the 1-star reviews of spore.
their credibility just went right out the window. it's all about the money.

Originally by: Brigsby5987 if you dont pay, you dont play. period.
No one cares if your poor, or your gonna take your alts and cancel your account.
I think the devblog explained it fairly well... no-one feels the weight of a snowflake.. but they'll definitely feel an avalanche.
