Janus Duo Gallente Down In Flames	Posted - 2008.10.18 11:16:00 - [1] Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu You're all kinda acting like a bunch of stupid jerkoffs. I've used this newly termed "ghost training" extensively, and figured that since it was allowed, it was OK by CCP. I thought it was pretty much great, that they did this for players with limited schedules. But, turns out it was a bug, and I got about 20 million skillpoints from training while I was unsubscribed, which CCP never meant me to have. CCP could have reversed all prior ghost training to level the playing field, but they didn't. The rules just changed. Eve players are known for their ability to adapt - those who don't adapt die and quit. So... adapt. Wow, and all this time I actually thought you were smart. You're actually EATING DCP's bull shit!

I'm not eating anything, sparky. I'm just disagreeing with you. It doesn't make me stupid. CCP let us get free SP for five years. It was an awesome practice, but if you look at it from a business standpoint, it was a slice of potential profits CCP wasn't getting. They're a corporation, and they need to make money. Hell, Iceland just went bankrupt. Can you really blame them for a little extra nickel-and-diming? And yet you actually belive that this whole time this was a bug and that CCP really just happened to lose this particular thread? And from a business standpoint CCP will be losing money from me. I'm not gonna have all 3 of my accounts active all year. I keep my main active all year, and turn on and off the other 2 as needed keeping a skill training at all times. I'm gonna collapse back to one account after this losing CCP $30-40/month (price fluxuates due to meathod of payment costing different amounts) and I imagine quite a few other doing the same. In fact I can see few people starting to pay for those accounts. In the end removing features from your game makes LESS people want to buy it, not more. This whole thing is just showing that CCP are: -Stupid -*******s -Dishonest -Anti-free speech Now if you don't care about any of this that's cool. But if you actually believe the CCP line then THATs why I'd call your intelligence into question.

Janus Duo Gallente Down In Flames	Posted - 2008.10.18 17:41:00 - [5] Originally by: Chani Fedaykin ofc those that plan to sell characters will subscribe those accounts permanent now ... win situation for ccp. however prices for chars will go up ofc No, people just won't bother to grow characters to sell as few will be able to afford the new cost. CCP will lost MORE clients.

Janus Duo Gallente Down In Flames	Posted - 2008.10.18 22:21:00 - [8] Originally by: ShadowDraqon No, you are just cheap and liked it when you could play technically for free half the time. What, do you never do anything ingame but train skills?
