I, for one, have printed a copy of the player guide page (with the url, date, and time on the top) and stashed it away.

Quite frankly there has to be someone out there who knows a lawyer who is going to figure out a way to turn this into a "breach of contract" case. I can see it now:

"My client paid for two subscriptions based in part on the understanding that his chracter skill training would continue uninterrupted while his accounts were inactive. This understanding was reinforced by CCP's own player guide which touted this ability as a game feature. my client has been lied to, and CCP has breached the contract that my client agreed to when he initially subscribed X years ago."

CCP, I would be worried.

So do you think CCP created this problem with the GTC restructuring?

Recent surge in ghost training, recent surge in GTC prices.

typical, CCp nerfs the GTC's, then wonders why theres a run on the GTc's just b4 the nerf.
then they wonder why everyone suspends thier accounts, so they spam everyone to try to find out whats going on....
some ppl respond that RL is issue, others that there are game issues...

ZOMG!!! fleet battles problems is fixed...
then credit crunch hits, ppl are tooo busy tryin to feed themselves to play games and have left thier accounts dark training in the meantime.

so ccp sees a spike in income, then a drop off, and low usage of GTC's as lots go dark.

ccp thinks...hmmmm we need to pay for exotic fishies for the promo-uber tank (and no ovour doing a charity gig of nivana - smells like teen spirit in the tank Simply wont cut-it)
[though im sure we'd all like to see that on the site or at the fanfest.

then the userbase is hammered by fixing a long term game mechanic that was ticking over in the background for 5 years,
hmmmm thinks....... Bob must have all thier cap fleet up to titans by now ;p (oops time to nerf the opposition)hehehehe

isnt it time to nerf the titan fleets (more than just a little bit) the game is unplayable against titans if ur in a ickle ship....(of even a BS)

yet again CCP4tW

(we luv u really).......................honest

I have the solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As per the laws and regulations of the u.s. any and all false advertisements are subject to fines imprisonment and or lawsuit. You come after my wallet I come after yours. This is not a threat it is a promise. A foreign country based corporation selling their product in this country does fall under this topic.

CCP; I was backing you guys up in the original thread, was expecting this dev blog to mention the financial aspects on the game in long term when players are ghosttraining.

What you presented here, database load? That's nothing short of disappointing. I still think we players been "lucky" this bug existed for so long, and we have benefited from a mistake of yours, no doubt about it. But when fixing it you treated it really poorly. Announcement two days before the fix. Dev blog one day before the fix. And a poor argumentation behind it as well. You lost my support on this matter, doesn't help that you're right, it's merely about how you treat your customers.

EVE:
Month 1: Whiner pays for play time and skill training.
Month 2: Whiner demands free skill training because he paid last month.

Restaurant:
Month 1: Whiner pays for meal and drinks.
Month 2: Whiner demands free drinks because he paid last month.

Both are companies selling their products. Why is one required to give away theirs for free?
