I find it bizarre that anyone is accusing CCP of "promoting" ghost training as a "feature", when the resources they drag out to back up their claim are:

1) One tiny quote buried in the Player Guide, which most people never read, that never claimed this was an intended feature, just that it worked. In fact, there was a rules change a while back that was posted in the PG and in the News section, and everyone on the forums blasted CCP in part because "no one reads the Player Guide" (or the News, for that matter). Double standard, no? Besides...the Guide did reflect how the game worked at the time, intentionally or not. So what? There are also disclaimers that game experience may change during play. They had something that was a minor bug that players liked, so they left it alone until it started hitting the bottom line and raising ire from some players. No lies involved.

2) A dev quote talking about something that worked in the game at the time. The quote also did not claim that ghost training was an intended feature, nor was said quote widely used for promotion, nor did the dev promise it would be in the game forever more.

Hmm...seems like the most under-promoted feature in history. I guess I'm in the minority, but I NEVER choose to play a game because of a minor feature that isn't core to the game; minor things change all the time.

I guess I'm still at a loss to see what possible reason people could have for having 5 or 8 accounts all alternating through ghosting at once, anyway. Or are there some sour grapes in some quarters because CCP took away an easy way to finish training characters for sale?

So all these people making threats, of canceling accounts... How are you going to cancel them if you do not already pay for them except a few times a year?

I think people are over reacting. Most of you are making empty threats. I donÆt know many people except character sellers who let accounts go inactive to train tat long skill. Most use the characters and keep it activated.

CCP: "We're removing a feature from the game."
Emoragequitters: "Please don't, it's a good feature. Some of us even consider it a deal-breaker, and might seek other entertainment if you do."
CCP: "We're removing it anyway."
ERQs: "Oh well, guess we'll go play something else then."
12-year old morons: "OMG YOU BRITISH CIGARETTES! EMORAGEQUITTERS ARE EMO! AND QUITTERS! AND THEY RAGE! How dare you express your opinion, you're not entitled to do that! You're all commies anyway!"

That's the kind of dialogue I love on teh intrawebs.
