For those running legit skill farming operation, i.e. who never used ghost training by not letting their accounts lapse, will they receive some kind of compensation from their loss linked to their ignorance of unwillingness to abuse the system with ghost training?

Surely, those accounts are easier to identify and belong for sure to players that respect the game we all share, and are worth more to CCP than bug-abusing cheaters.. Does that mean anything?

But this was allowed by ccp. They wrote it in a dev blog here:

Q: What happens if my subscription ends while I'm logged in, will I be converted to Alpha in the middle of a fight?
A: In these cases, you will remain an Omega until the next time you log out. We won't ever turn skills off during the middle of a session.

Thats different.

Apparently accounts lapsing out of Omega into Alpha whilst logged out where/are continuing to skill at Omega status until the account logs in again.

In other words the system didnt/doesnt register that the account should revert to Alpha, including sp rate and extent of skills, unless the account logged in again after Omega expired.

A few post earlier someone said we have to pause our training before the end of the subscription, but this will mean we will lose training time again. Will we get reimbursed for that lost time too?

That sounds like a mis-interpretation. A proper fix would not require players to do anything. This SP reimbursement is supposed to be a one-time event. The script that caused the loss of training time was meant to do something about the ghost training. Now i was talking about how we are supposed to stop ghost training to happen, which is declared to be an exploit in the meantime as you can see here https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/exploit-notification-ghost-training/ So we are forced to stop ghost training to happen if we don't want to risk our accaunts to be banned. The first way is of course not letting our accounts lapse into alpha state by buying a subscription or plexing ccount before the lapse could happen. There should be many people who don't want or can't do this (the plex price ingame is around 1.4B ISK). The second other way to stop ghost training from happening is pausing your skill queue before your account lapses to Alpha state. The third (and last?) way seems to be online at the time the ghost training issue will happen. This is legit as at seems to me and someone approved it in this thread, too (see here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6977756#post6977756 ). But some people might not be able to be online at that time even if it is only afk. So my question is if we will be reimbursed for the loss of any skillpoints if we choose to pause our skill training to prevent a possible ban.
