Man you guys sure are piling on the shitty changes lately. So after next patch it'll cost me 500-600m per GTC, I can't let accounts dark train, and half the ships I enjoy flying will be pulse apoc food. Fantastic.

A long overdue and much needed change will be put in place with the Wednesday, 15 October 2008 patch. Ghost Training, the continuous skill gain on accounts in an inactive or expired state - will no longer function after Wednesday, 15 October 2008. This practice upsets the balance of the game, and capsuleers who actively put their time and energy into working on their characters will no longer be unfairly affected by those few who have not.
We understand that this is a hot topic amongst players, and request that you discuss this necessary change without breaking the forum rules.
So you drew the short straw to have to be the poor bastard to post this right? With a name like that it's almost like this is a troll (most of eve hopes this is a troll, what a ****ing awful idea this really is).

What the hell, nice work CCP, you just lost tons of subscribers.
News for Snarker. SUBSCRIBERS PAY.
People running 'ghost accounts' do not. They shouldn't benefit therefore!

You've gotta be an ISD guy or something trying to white knight. People who ghost train resub and keep playing, usually they stopped playing for a reason and return (burnt out, RL caught up, etc). Going "hey at least I can train up BS5 or ASC5 so I can keep working on getting into a carrier" is enough to offset people being unable to actually play for a bit. This change removes that, and a lot of people will simply just not return after a break because they're still exactly the same as when they left, whereas everyone else kept training. This is a poorly thought out change and the shitty excuse in the OP proves that. Hopefully this monstrous threadnaught proves the point to CCP and they drop this really poor idea.
