Please please please can we have training for more than one character per account !!?? One of the things I was stumped by in eve was when I tried to make another character on the same account and get told no you can't train more than one character per account.
I find this a bit tight seeing as I'm paying to play. ( paying more than most mmo's) First thing I did when I started playing eve a couple months ago was to make sure I had a good income, as I know that mmo's need cash flow, so I made industry my bread winner and specced for this thinking I can make a pvp character as an alt.
I don't want to do all the training on one character its a pain in the butt, so maybe we could have another training character !!?? Maybe second character at half speed training !!?? Or an account upgrade for a few coins per month to have premium account.
At the moment I'm using 3 accounts so I can play fluidly but I don't see that as long term unless of course there's a change,  cmon CCP have a heart and lift the training block I'm sure more people would play eve if it was a bit more friendly seeing it from the business side also cos that's what it is.
Ok, now that I can read it...
First I have to say, that I don't know of any cheaper MMO's aside from free ones or dieing ones, and there support and community's are much smaller and failing as we speak. The price for EvE is on par with every other MMO with close to the same quality.
Next thing to keep in mind, as it has been pointed out is you can't train more then one character at a time without a 2nd account on any other MMO's. Yes I will agree that EvE's time based training changes things a little, but its not such a huge change that it warrants CCP allowing you 2 free Pilots on the same account.
Something else to consider is the fact that unlike 95% of all other MMO's there is no class system, no set path that you "HAVE" to take in character progression. If you want to do industry today and combat in 5 to 6 months you can do that in EvE, and you don't have to roll a new character to do it.
Something you might not have thought of is to train your alts to the point were your happy with them then transferring them all to the same account, sure you will only be able to train one at a time again, but it will greatly reduce your costs IRL for the 2nd and 3rd account.
As far as allowing people to train multiple pilots on one account being good for CCP's bottom line, that's simply untrue, and silly, if they allow that, then they could lose as many as 2 alt accounts per person per account. that's an extra $30 a month.
If this went through next thing you or someone else like you would be asking for would be the ability to log onto the same account more then once to use more the one pilot per account.
I'm sorry but this wont happen any time soon. You wanted your logical, non-flaming reply, this is it, and its about as true as it gets.
