LIES
Devblog:
"Ghost Training was an unintended feature where unpaid accounts of EVE Online were able to continue training skills."
But in the Official player guide
Player Guide:
Skills continue training even if you are logged off or if your account is inactive (in the second scenario you can't change skill training, though).
Linkage
Just in case
Even when taking a secound chance to explain the action, you still mess it up.

You can **** off your customers only so many times CCP. This time it's different.
LIES, and MONEY do not go down well.
Enjoy the drama.

I have never shut down an account in protest, or threatened to close one. But CCP, the lies are just too much.
I will end up closing 3 accounts irrespective of whatever wishywashy way you address the issue in the coming days.
This is not so much about the change to 'ghost' training, but the LIES for the reasons behind it.

and still no response from ccp?
They cannot respond. You are not gona get
"Aw, shucks guys, We didnt know it would hurt you so, we changed our minds"
Or
"This is the way it is, like it or lump it" -: which is a redundant statement
They have said what they wanted to say, in two different untruthful ways
You want a third lie?  (see what I did there Wrangler, a smiley makes things ok)

Looks like this thread has been relegated to the Downbelow of the Eve-0 forums.

The bug that became a feature
On Monday, we released news that we are disabling äGhost Trainingô, the ability to train characters on inactive accounts. This resulted in strong reactions from the community as many people were routinely making use of it. We explained the matter in more detail and pointed out that this had been a bug in the original game code. Those of us who were involved in the process of making the decision and communicating it to the community did not realize this bug had been so accepted as a feature that it was listed as such in our own documentation on our own website.
How can we not know whatæs in our own documentation? Well, to be frank, it was a case of insufficient communication on our part between various teams û a regrettable mistake and hard lesson to learn at the expense of the trust youæve placed in us. Thereæs no way to spin it and we wonæt add insult to injury by trying to do so. It was a mistake on our part and for that we sincerely and humbly apologize.
Many would hope that in light of this we will decide not to cancel ghost training and keep it active as an option but weære cannot to do that. EVE is already one-of-a-kind in allowing players to progress their characters through offline skill training. We stand by our policy that if you want your character to progress in EVE, you should pay the subscription fee. The fact that so many people have been able to do so for several years was our own oversight. We know this change, and our misstep in telling you about it, has created some discontent and we hope that over time we can prove our committment to make EVE better than ever for you will be evident as you enjoy the fruits of our labor.

The Case that became one too many
On Monday, CCP messed up communication to the community, fumbled a second explanation and then Tuesday hid the thread.
How can you not know your own documentation, well to be frank, Your community leader, Wrangler has on may times corrected people on the forum about the fact that characters continue to train when account goes inactive. Infact he even corrected a DEV for allowing it to get into patchnotes when it was changed on the china server. You cannot use the word 'oversight', since it was in plain sight and documented. It was in patch notes and documented. It was a FEATURE.
Just like jet-can mining.
Many would hope that CCP would come forward and be truthful about this, but insead the thread gets buried.
I must also reiterate, that I am not really annoyed that this feature is removed, but the way it was handled is just beyond belief. And they way you try to cover up the reasons for your decision over and over is just , I don't know, beyond comprehension. I dont understand how mistakes in communication can occur over and over like this.

In September I had 10 accounts (average 9months active and with 3 accounts full time), each of the 'ghost trained' accounts used up about $121 in GTCs (gametime was bought with isk by me but someone paid for it) A fully active account for the year is about $131 if paid by cc.
Now I have 3 accounts.
I am grateful actually.
