if i select a 3 day skill it has nothing to do with planning but just with keep a skill going.
or i guess you only log in once a week.
well maybe try X3 reunion there is no skill training in that game[/quote

No offense mate but I think its priceless when a Newbie gives me tips about trying a different game because of the skill-system
I have about 36 mio SP now after playing since beginning of 2006 and I have 10,15,20 ? skills that would take longer than a week - I even have a few skills which would take 30 days+ BUT
I still want a skill-queue !!!
Why? *sigh* I have mentioned it before in this thread at someplace ( PLEASE read through the WHOLE thread before giving answers like this..)

2. Logging on JUST to switch skills is a STUPID and UNNECCESSARY load on the servers which are often at there limit as it is !!!!
3. I am PAYING for playing and skilling so I would like to choose if and when I go online (DEACTIVATE SKILLTRAINING FROM INACTIVE ACCOUNTS !!!!!!!) sorry capkey got stuck
4.Eve¦s skillsystem in comparison to other games is built and designed that YOU MUST SKILL ALL THE TIME to NOT waste time. Its only gives you content not highendpower !
It takes you literally months/years to be able to be "highend" (Which I like about the skillsystem in EVE BUT as I said you are forced to be skilling at ALL TIMES !
In other games you can level up to highend in a few weeks (WoW - *pukes*)

the trade off for skilling up while offline is tha5t you must login for a new skill to be trained. this has been like this since year dot for eve.

as for months or years to high end one self is utter bull****e!
I am pure amarr specced. almost 31m sp and i aint even 2 years old chr wise. its not how the game mechanics benifit you, its how you benifit the game as a whole.

while i am not able to play eve till late july at the worste I am still able to login and do skill changes at least. I am presently doing Commandships to lvl V, i know THIS skill finishes around 3 am for my TZ, so just before downtime I am going to swtich to Medium beam spec V.
with luck this skill will finish in the evening.. if not i can then CHOOSE a lower rank skill i need doen that will bring it into my "normal" game time. then i will finish off these two skills that are nearly done.

to be honest. I find it more of a pain to do short skill trains lol.
I ACTUALLY look forward to long skill trains.

infact. i might just as my last act before i rejion eve is learn Maruaders V as its not an overly long skill train for me,36 days'ish.

so i now have 4-5 months of skill up my chr. i reckon around july 6 i will be somewhat 36m+ sp

so my advice to you is...

got to your Loyaty point store, cash in your LP's buy 14.7 trillion matches, 23.012 tonnes of glue, 4 hectres of land in the shape of a valley then... BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT!

And no, you wont be able to train those skills after your account subscription expires ie. It's disabled.

So I don't see a problem with it and MORE of a benefit to those casual eve players that cannot plan a game around their life.

I've actually stoped playing Eve for a year because I just couldn't cope with planing things with "things in life already happening".

It's easy for those 10 - 18 yr olds that don't have jobs, that go to school, and that live with their momy and dady... :P

It's different when you're out in life, working full time, and have a family of your own. etc...

LOL!

I'm still shocked at the enormous amount of "casual" players that stress out over an imaginary character's "skill" training in an imaginary world. You claim to be casual players who don't take games so seriously but you're all whining (yea, I use whining because its a stronger word than complaining.) about skill training and losing precious training time. If you were really casual players who didn't take games seriously then losing a few hours of training time wouldn't matter.

I'm going on a job for the next three months with limited internet access and I DON'T want a skill queue. I'm foresighted enough to train up several skills to level 4 and start one training to level 5 before I leave. Now I just have to log on sometime three weeks later and change to the next skill. Repeat 5 times and I can stay gone for over three months and not lose any training time. So I'll get to have my cake, I'll just have to wait a week after I get back before I can eat it. I think it will taste wonderful.

x for no skill queue!!!

Youre a spiteful selfish little **** arent you?
You are probly one of those people who like to take other peoples parking places away in front of there noses, and the kind of person I get hauled to court for,for breaking there noses...
Thousands of people want a skill-queue - We are talking about a ONE Skillqueue - A BACKUP Skill
You probly dont even know about that do you?
You found this thread and without reading it and constructivley bringing arguments you just post your drivel to annoy people...
Have a nice day and may your head NOT fall off at an akward moment..
