Macros. No. And there is a point having an alt, either market spying or as a nice disposable scout.

She's right, I mean come on, in all other mmorpg's you can log with 2 or more characters form the same account and kill mobs/do quests at the same time.

why not just ask CCP to half the cost of the game? so we can buy two accounts and not be any poorer. thats just as good as ur suggestion.

For which you pay. Think of each subscription as paying CCP for the right to train skills as well as play the game.

Yes there is. Scout. Market agent. In a week they can be a hauler.

You can't do it in any other MMORPG, so why in EVE? 
We don't need any more alt farming.

Plus we can be (un)dressed up in sexy clothes, have our hair done and let you the player have a fun night out when your main has nothing better to do.

Lots of reasons why it shouldnt we allowed.
- Macro miners. For the price of one account they make more money
- Character farmers selling characters on e-bay.

Lots of uses for an alt. Market checks, spies and my <sarcasm>favorite: For use in the Corporations & Alliances Discussion forum. </sarcasm>
Keep this thread on topic. No flaming please.

I'd rather alts be removed completely.
That would also solve this little problem...

So make two accounts then. You will pay twice the amount per month. If CCP make you twice twice the amount per month for the ability to train 2 chars per account would you want it then?

Not Going To Happen.
CCP would lose money this way.
If you want to train more than one character you will have to get more than one account.
Sorry, but CCP is a business and this would be a really stupid business move for them.
CCP ain't stupid. 
Solo playing is a valid play style. Or at least CCP thinks the money they get is valid. |

I don't think it would cut any money from CCP if they allowed training of two characters. If you can't login to two characters at the same time on the same account.. there would be the desire to have a second account still.

i would like to see some sort of compromise to maybe training 2 skills at once on 1 character.
maye have it at a reduced speed linked to the training modfier of the primary skill.
this is only because of the titans and others.
so basicaly at 1 to 5x multi u get 1 skill training at a time.
6-8 u get a second that trains at 50% speed.
8-10 its upto 65%
10+ u get a 75% speed second skill.
this is simply for people with balance stributes that don't get to the 25 points and such so training a 16multi is gona take upto 3 months.
but tbh i think although atm this would be my soloution to the problem we have not seen the PROMISED sooon TM boosters yet so it should wait till atleast after they are in.

Well now we can pay for extra accounts in isk....
Just whats the problem, many folks holded back on multiple accounts, simpley because of the cost.
That barrier doesn't exist now, just throw isk at other accounts, i can make 300 million in a weekend easy.. thats in core empire... thats another account for 3 whole months......
You happen to be in 0.0 or whatever (not hard just join a 0.0 corp) you can make much more... say in a weekend near a billion on average... thats 3 accounts for 3 months....
Loads of people must be doing this, why moan at ccp for 2 character training..
Hell you can even get a head start and throw some isk at a ready built chracter to use on your newly formed free accounts

Not removed. Redesigned. like..I don't think you should be able to join a corp/alliance if another character on the same account is at war with them. Among other things.

Basically, those who can afford to pay for 2 accounts have an advantage over those who only can afford one, which is NOT the same as in other games where you have to actually play your characters to level them while in EVE they level AFK (level in disguise, but level anyways) on all your accounts!
Once upon a time, you could pay for a second account at a reduced cost, which is not possible anymore.
In other words, comfort for players is denied because of flawed game mechanics (macro miners) and CCP greed.
Oh... and the 'you could sell secondary characters on e-bay' argument made me laugh, threre would be no e-bay market if leveling characters was not so harsh.
Go figure

You can't level two characters at once on one account in World of Warcraft, either.

please Princi****a leave eve and go back to the lameass game you played before coming here.
"other mmorpg's you can log with 2 or more characters form the same account and kill mobs/do quests at the same time"
Ya. Sure. Tell me what game? NO other game lets you do this. You need two accounts for that.
Think people are starting to get sick of you people trying to blubiefy this great game, and ruin it like you have to every other major online hit.

Oh noes! Because some people have more money than others, they can do more stuff! Oh, the injustice!
Seriously though, if players have the extra cash and want to play the game even more, just let them. Claiming that it's 'unfair' (not your words exactly, I know) just doesn't fly.

The only problem I have is that there are so many generalist skills. I dislike the idea of having a really high sp character. I scarcely desire to work harder to afford the raised cost of clone death above and beyond the value of a ship I would normally fly, yet the costs of not doing so are even higher.
If there were more specialized combat trees, training up more than one character would be more feasable. Right now there are so many generalist skills, that you would have to have a 15M sp alt just to have every elementary skill for piloting a single ethnicity tech1 frigate maxed.
Generalist skills are just global timesinks usually. On the other side of the coin, non-globalist skills hamper the flexibility of mains for better or worse. The destroyers skill gives "mains" alot of flexibility, but a different generalist skill like sharpshooter is a pure time sink to new player's or separate character's competitiveness.
As a result, having an NPCing/manufacturing main and a moderately well trained, but highly specialized pvp second is not really viable. Ergo, many people simply rely on a very minimalist kestrel alt with probably less than a few hundred thousand sp.
Maybe it would be a lot more fun to have three very specialized characters. Maybe everyone having a market character would be bad for the game.. but I don't see how the tech1 market can really be damaged further. All in all, I haven't really bothered to give the problem very much thought as it's largely a moot point. I hope EVE2 nixes this quandary from the start.
