If optimal means the most efficient use of time to reach specific skill levels, then all training is sub-optimal.
To use the least time buy your skills, be optimal.
It's an interesting idea though, this idea of the process of training being a game of its own.
What the skills are, doesn't matter,
Achieving the skill levels is the game.
I think it's a perfectly valid way to play, just to skill, if you need money, sell the skills and train them again.
Myself I always train in a carefree fashion, I don't really care how long it takes.
In fact the longer it takes, the better, because I noticed when I capped all alpha skills, I stopped logging in to the game.
In short, when the training ends, the game ends.

To answer your question OP, so far I was willing to train at non-optimum rates for nearly four years. |

I have been playing for 5 years. The last year I didn't even think about optimalization. I must admit not having any goals left makes it easier to stop caring about optimal training times. |

Skill injectors are an abomination. Using skill injectors is cheating. Its the easy mode for impatient kids.

I rarely go off map, but I already have most of my skills where I want them to be and have planned out my maps for the next 2 years or so. if for whatever reason I do want to train an off map skill, then generally my cutoff for it is lvl 3. if I want lvl 4 or 5 in an off map skill, then I will use an injector for it. or just say "its good enough" and wait until I remap into something better for it. (drone skills so far have been the bane of my existence. I would love those skills to be higher, but until I am ready to train for capitals I just can't justify spending an entire year in a drone remap to finish them up. and getting heavy drones V is too many injectors.) |

Back when learning skills where still in the game I cared alot. When your starting Attributes could not be changed and were dependant on race. I rerolled my char twice before i got it right.
Nowadays I don't care anymore, I think I stopped caring at 100mill SP or so. 3 Remaps available, all i'm doing is training for Gold certificates. i think if I was new I would see it differently, but when you can fly anything to "almost" perfection it doesn't really bother anymore. If I feel an alt is lacking I inject some SP.
Also, my overall SP/hour Ratio is flawed for life since I was absent a few years anyway.

... since you are cut off at a specific point... I'd say I'm willing to skill them until they can't skill anymore... |
