WHY does anyone think this HUGE waste of PLEX is a good thing? Other than mass producing alts for the express purpose of selling them to other players who are too lazy to train alts themselves?

I just don't get it.

Why not just implement a character merger?

oh wait, I forgot, CCP just wants to sell more PLEX.

they dont really care about the players or what we want.

WTB double speed training with extra plex on one character, will this be available sometime?

Hell no. I don't even have to give reason.

First

on topic: Nice addition. Nothing revolutionary, but it doesn't hurt at all

Because, again, it's hellalot cheaper in the long run since the whole point is to train up short-queue characters that don't all need to be logged in at the same time.

Your math fails to account for trial accounts. You can get 51 days of training on a 2nd account and 30 days of training on your main account for 1 PLEX. That more than makes up for the $20 transfer fee to move the character from your 2nd account to your main when you can done training that character.

So you can either own two accounts or have two toons on one account
both the same price
yet less functionality with the latter as you cannot log onto both at the same time

I don't see the point currently.

I'm sorry but i just don't see the point in this, if it was cheaper somehow to run the accounts of your alts on one account, say like 45 days for a plex or longer then i would see a point to this, otherwise why not just have 3 separate accounts that you can then play at the same time or not as you choose, after all it actually costs the same other that that initial fee.

Try reading the thread it's been explained in detail multiple times.

In short, it's nice once you stop training and don't have to use plexes to keep the account active. Now i have 3 accounts with 9 useful pilots instead of 9 accounts which would be ridiculous to plex each months. Cyno alts, Research alts, Supercap alts, PI alts etc.. dont need to stay logged in very long.

Ok, so you're saying once your character has been trained it's useful to transfer that character to your main account (which costs money) and then just use PLEX to continue training anyway? *confused*

Or if you're talking about not training them anymore at all after the transfer, I really don't see how your comment is related to the dual-character training thing....

Your math fails to account for trial accounts. You can get 51 days of training on a 2nd account and 30 days of training on your main account for 1 PLEX. That more than makes up for the $20 transfer fee to move the character from your 2nd account to your main when you can done training that character.

it cheaper just to have 3 accounts and you can play then at the same time. why would I want to pay for 3 plexs at 20$ each when I can just spent 15 per month for 3 accounts . that I can use at the same time.

SoGǪ that's 1 PLEX ($20) + transfer fee ($20) for 51 days and the hassle of starting a new account and transferring the characters (which wastes a day of training time) GÇö in total $40 for 50 days GÇö compared to 2 PLEX / $40 for 60 days of dual training?

Yeah, multiple character training still seems cheaper. Also, can you even get PLEX/game time if your buddy account is activated with a PLEX any more? I thought they removed thatGǪ

You guys are all correct...
It is cheaper to pay for 1 account, than it is to pay for 3...

Unless you are PLEXing 1 account 3 times so you can train some useless alts.
Useless, I say? But... there's no such thing as a useless alt in EVE!

Except... they're all trapped on a single account. So what are you planning on using them for?

So... what is the point of having somewhat trained alts trapped on an account?

So... you paid extra PLEX each month, to get them trained, and then you're going to pay extra to xfer them to another acct? Why not make them on extra accts to begin with?

Do you guys see how the "throw more money at the game, because it's cheaper that way" logic really falls apart?

No. That's 1 PLEX + $20 for 80 days of training. You get 51 days on the new account and 30 days on the referring account.

Why do we have to buy a plex/2nd account to activate training queues for each of our characters, especially seeing as we can only use 1 character at a time anyway. It just seems like money grabbing.

What is bad about having two characters training at the same time, on 1 plex, when you can only use 1 at a time?
