The problem is this...
If my account was set to expire at the end of today, I can in affect set a 60 day skill training today and not pay for my account for 60 days from now and when I log in and re-activate my account after those 60 days, my skill WILL be trained.
Thats how it works currently... With a skill queue, people could set even just 1 skill in queue could set a 25 day and another 35 day and not pay for their account to change the skill.
Suck it up, pay for your account, and log in and change your skill, or train a longer skill when you know you can't log in.
Unless they change it so your skill stops training when your account goes in-active will I then support a training queue, but not until. I'm not going to let people train freely while not paying while I have to pay to train and play. Its not fair, for any of us. Especially the farmers who just train up skills and sell the chars with the char transfer for in game cash. It is then costing them nothing in RL money for having that account active in essence making the char worth much less and pushing the market price for those selling skills chars lower.
so let me get this right, we shouldn't have a skill queuer because you think we should only be able to have 30days free training instead of X days?! XD
so basicly your saying that the problem is not misuse, but the problem is people getting sp without PAYING for the SP.. ehhh... i find that kind of hard to shallow.
but let's say it like this.
two people is bored with the game, one cancel the account, the other let it run, BUT only enter for 5min every 2 weeks to change a skill to another long time skill.
after one year they both returns, the one have gotten nothing, while the other have gotten 1years of sp, just by paying $ for it... right?
and it is not about loyalty to the game, since if this was the chase, people that paid for 1year full sub, should get a sp bonus since they show that they are loyal going to support for a whole year.
okey so you think this is the way it should be. then let me ask you.
if this is so, and it all comes down to cool hard cash paid-up,
then lets say they return and the guy that didn't go in those 5min every two week, say's fair enough i will pay a full year and get that years sp.
would this be okey?
and why not, if you think it is okey to just not play and only log in for skill change?!..
well there is no intelligent argument against a skill queuer, and the "it is not okey you get something for doing nothing" argument is so stupid it hurts, since EVERY one in eve have this luxurious of afk sp'gaining.
but to prevent ccp from loosing to much money and people from subscripting their accounts for years letting it sp gain and thereby making ccp lose money that they could have used on developing cool stuff for the players, i think this is what we need:
read from here if you don't got time for the first part
first of, your sp gain will stop when the account is canceled.
this is both fair and good for the developing ingame content (more money, more resources to expand).
second: a full skill queuer system, much like evemon have built it.
this would fix any skill change problems, and let you use your time freely, letting eve become the fun and ONLY the fun of the game, no worries or stress about unimportant matters(or more like, matters you can't do anything about).
