Hey, your bug...

Skills continue training even if you are logged off or if your account is inactive

I found it in the player guide.

You guys better get in there and ninja-edit it.

We should get BoB, NC and GS together and see how many times in a row we can crash Jita. Or better yet, just fill Jita with AFK players and not allow anyone else to enter the system.

Stupid suggestions like that really don't help, do they?

This is far more likely to be a "need" issue than a "greed" issue, but CCP can hardly turn around and say so if that is the case.

Look, they are handling this badly, but the change in itself isn't a bad one. Expecting people to pay for what they get is fair enough.

Sure I am ribbing CCP here, but don't confuse that with malicious intent.

Example : BS 5, BC 5, or any other long 30+ day skill, makes you feel like you're making zero progress, its just no fun at all.

Workaround : Take a break from Eve while training BS 5 or whatever. Shut off sub, go play BF2 for a month.

My objection to "fixing" ghost training : It makes you pay to TRAIN your character not PLAY your character, that is fundamentally wrong and too close to Korean MMO's for me, you know those Korean MMO's where you pay RL $$$ for items and skills.

I never understood that arguement to be honest.
I do pay to play, and I can play perfectly well while my character is training long skills - skill training doesn't pause if I log on and undock.

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.

What are you guys talking about, I bought a car once cause when I test drove it there was a nice CD player in it. Of course a few months later they took the CD player away. Isn't stuff like this normal??

---

The CD Player was a bug, they just didn't get around to fixing it for a while.

Think big. As a group the players are more pwoerful than the devs.

It'll be funny to see the mass exodus of people who cycle skills on and don't even play your shitty game.

You know, if the announcement from the beginning would have been something along the lines of "ok, you've had this for years, but sorry guys, gravy train's done, we want to cash in on this", it would have been a lot easier to swallow. Trying to spin it as a balance issue (which was so stupid it was insulting) and now trying to say you're fixing a bug is just spitting in everyone's face for no reason.
