The easy solution to this whole problem is really quite simple.
Prohibit the sale of any character that's been inactive for a set percentage of their lifespan.
25%? 50%? 75%? Something could be worked out. It would stop the farming of characters simply for ISK generation and allow people with RL issues the ability to still reap a reward. Spend X% of the time with the account/characters inactive and you can't sell them. Sounds like a compromise.
Sure it would be nice to be able to train three characters simultaneously. Multi-skill training would be nifty and a training queue would be a boon. That having been said, the other side of the argument begs why you shouldn't have to play a character who's training a long skill?
This coming from a guy who's got quite a few skills at V and who hasn't gone inactive for them.
(And to all the peeps bemoaning what a "weak" or "mediocre" game Eve is ... why don't you just quit, then? Really. Just go.)

Originally by: Triksterism You're missing the point. Not everyone ghost trains their level 5's. However, it is a popular thing to do when people want to take a break from eve. People should have the option. It is what CCP promoted and it is what has attracted many people to the game.
The converse is Why should you get Carrier V without paying for it?

$30 for Carrier V, don't think many people would train it if they had to pay for it. Those cap skills are quite lengthy at level 5.
Well, that would make having them that much more special now, wouldn't it?
I still think barring parked characters for resale is the way to go. Go inactive for more than 50% of your life-span the character is locked and can't get sold. Simple, elequent, and doesn't affect players who ghost train to actually play the characters.

Originally by: ISIAM It's very infrastructure must be under great stain.
If you insist on spamming every third page of the forums at least use a spell check. Unless that's not a typo ...

Originally by: xaja Hey, CCP... you could give us something to sweeten the pot in that area: Allow us to switch skills by logging on to our character's account on the eve-online website.
Now that's not a wholly bad idea.
+1 for posting the first useful suggestion in the past sixty pages.

I still like the idea of simply prohibiting the sale/transfer of any character that's been inactive for an inordinate percentate of their lifespan.
What's too much? 25%? 50%? 75%?
It would stop dead the farming of characters simply for ISK generation and allow people with RL issues the ability to still reap a reward
Spend X% of the time with the account/characters inactive and you can't sell them. If you didn't intend to sell them in the first place, no problem.

Originally by: Alex Salas On the Serenity server, skills no longer train when the owning account is deactivated. Tranquility is not affected by this change.
Word parsing says Tranquility "is not affected," not "will never be affected."
Read the EULA section 6 article A. It says:
Quote: CCP may, in its sole discretion, cease to provide any or all of the services offered in connection with EVE (including access to the System and any or all features or components of the Game)

Dudes.
Truncate your quotes. This is getting stoopid.
-Mis-spelling for the masses since 2008 so you don't have to.
