I've said it before and i'll say it again, over and over and over and over...NO TO SKILL QUEING!
The proposed eve browser solution for managing skills is a good idea. It still means you have to manage the skills personally, however, you will be allowed to do it from any computer in the world. Be it at home or at work, USA or Iraq...

All you people who want a skill queing system should get your priorities straight. You either play the game or you dont!

I've said it before and i'll say it again, over and over and over and over...NO TO SKILL QUEING! SKILL QUEING IS FOR LAZY PEOPLE! I DONT WANT EVE TO BECOME LAZY!
dude, you shouldnt shout so much when you are wrong, more people might laugh at you.
Wrong? Me? If i'm wrong then how come EVE lacks a skill queing system? CCP simply wants players to be online as much as possible...nothing more to it. There will never ever be a queing system in EVE. So i guess it is me laughing at you dude...
For you stupid ones who didn't understand me the first time:
1. Skill queing is for lazy people.
2. Skill queing will make non lazy people lazy.
3. Skill queing will make EVE lazy.
4. I don't like lazy people.
5. I don't want EVE to become lazy.
6. I don't want skill queing in EVE.

A very important feature of EVE is the skill training system. This very important feature requires little effort from a subscriber. The effort needed is to log in and start training a new level of a skill or a completely new skill. Sometimes you need to log in often and sometimes weeks can pass without needing to log in. For this, in my opinion, very small effort you get a huge reward which is that you donĘt need to actively train your skills!
This brings me to the following. How can an adult person expect to get something in return without any effort? DonĘt YOU as an adult person know that anything in life worth getting costs something? All of you who want a skill queue system obviously think you should be equally rewarded as them players who actually take the time and effort to be online upon skill completion. Now, some of you will argue that you pay real life money to play this game and thus are entitled to a skill queue. This is, in my opinion, the same as arguing for a feature where I should be able to pre-set how my ship should behave in various situations. This also is a no go from my point of view!
Of course I understand most of EVE players, me included, have a real life and everything that goes along with it, family, work, trips, etc. Since we live in the 21st century I strongly believe a skill manager via the browser will resolve most issues, if not all, regarding skill advancement without a skill queue. Skill completion during unexpected down time is a special case from which all players eventually suffer from.
Actually, the only reason for a skill queue system is unexpected downtime because that is the one and only thing in EVE you cannot control and align with rest of your life. Some will argue that reason alone is enough for implementing a skill queue. I donĘt agree with that! Why? Unexpected downtime affects more than skill advancement. Unexpected downtime can occur on that very day which is the only day during that week you actually have time to spend a few hours and play the game. Would this be a reason to argue for an extrapolation system which calculates the amount of ISK you should have earned? Or the number of players you should have killed?
To conclude: NO to a skill queue and YES to a skill manager via a browser!

I really don't care about any of your real life issues. Stop whining about your real life getting in your way of playing EVE effectively. That sort of complaining doesn't get you anywhere in real life and so it shouldn't do that here either. As I see it you should get your pirorities straight. You either play the game or you don't. It's simple as that.
Personally, I favour those players who spend every wake moment in EVE. They should get a benefit of being online so often and for long periods of time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not of them addicted players. I have lost my share of skill training due to various reasons. And guess what, I still believe those players who make the effort being online upon skill completion should get something in return.
The only thing one could complain about is the unexpected downtime(though i fail to see why since everyone suffers equally). If you so wholeheartedly want to be reimbursed for lost time why don't cry about lost ISK? ISK is as important as skills in EVE. A few hours of ratting can give several 100s of millions for experienced players. I have yet to see a thread about that!
...nevertheless, seems CCP has the skill queue issue on the drawing board...so I guess it will be implemented...just a matter of time. Personally, CCP, please don't do it!
