I have read the first 5 pages and last 5 pages of this thread.
Though I have to admit I personally did use ghost training to train up for minmatar battleship 5 while I was away on summer vacation, I do not feel strongly against CCP removing this feature from the game.
Ofcourse I agree with most of you guys for stating that CCP is being hypocrit about calling it a bug when it has been listed in the FEATURES page for years now. CCP what's up with that man?
Personally though, I have one thing to say to all the people flaming in this thread about how they are going to quit eve blahdieblah:
Arguing over the internet is like competing in the special olympics: Even if you win, you are still ******ed.
That being said, I welcome all you people with 2+ accounts to get the hell out of my game ^^
Moar isk for me, really. I have ALWAYS just had ONE account, and even only used ONE character on said account.
From a marketing/business point of view.. it is true that CCP seems to be 'reshaping' EVE Online as a business with the GTC thing and ofcourse now this. (yes as someone mentioned, we could have and DID see this coming).
Personally I don't use GTC's, I pay for eve by bank transfer (which is cheaper than GTCs for cash/time btw) so the GTC change didn't really affect me at all. (I do from time to time buy gtcs and sell em for isk to make my wallet go plop though).
Anyway all in all, I would have to say, as a lot of people have said before me...
To all the quitters,
CAN I HAS YOUR STUFF AND ISKZ PLZ? kthxbai.
YOU shall NOT be missed. now go play WoW or w/e.
To CCP and the DEVs, I would like to point out not to take too much head to this thread, as is with all things, the people that reply to threads like these are people with personal interrest in it and don't like it. It is always the whiners and people that disagree that comment on patches and fixed and that sort of things. And since these players are the ones CCP is actually trying to weed out, who cares what they say . The main consensus reached between posters on this thread does not in any way represent the EVE Community as a whole, and ghost training is definatelly not one of the 'biggest sellers' for EVE Online as much people in here claim it is. I personally started playing eve oblivious to this feature/bug and only found out about it after almost a year of playtime. And I do believe there are much more people out there like me.
Granted this 'fix' does make EVE Online a little bit less attractive to some people, that's fair enough. It will always still beat the crap out of other MMO's like WoW that have way bigger fundamental issues. (in wow's case for instance, the immaturity of the playerbase).
my 2 cents... anyway.
