Well i don't see what is wrong what CCP are doing.

I have two characters and there payed for i think if you want more then 1 character then you must be willing to pay for it as you are the one that desided you have another character.

To me it make perfect sence as CCP is a game that people love and hate sometimes. CCP make a great game and for them to make this great game and improve it they need people to pay for there time on the game.

I know this upset people but they need to know they are a Company that has people that work for them and very good people too and they have to pay there wages and so on.

May agaist other people i am not just i can understand what CCP are doing.

Some people here make no rational on why they shouldn't remove this bug. Yes its a bug, its something that I didnt even know about and it is unfair. Why should people who dont pay gain skillpoints the same as people who do?

When did they ever advertise it? Cause its definitely not listed in any obvious place or on any of their game ads. Therefore, they never did intend it to be a feature for people to get the game for. If I had known that I could have trained Industrial V for my character or Exhumer V without paying, sure, I might have done it but I didnt know about it because of the fact that they never advertised it.

So people want a solution? Fine let people continue to ghost train, but instead of training at their normal rate, make it so they train only 10% of their skillpoint they would normally get if their character was active. Make it so that every skill takes 10x longer than it would if an account is not paid for. That seems more fair if people want to ghost train. Make it so that 28 day Battleship 5 skill takes 280 days if they decide to ghost train it.

It doesnt matter if it was in the player guide or not. They never intended it to be an option, they only stated how it worked. IF they did intend the game to function like that, it would have been in many more places than just the player guide.

I bet over half the eve community didnt even know you could ghost train. Cause I never heard of it and neither have the majority of people I know in the game. Therefore, I look at it like this, fewer people, less lag.

I am fine with and support this change.

I would ask that there is a "grace" time added on of 24 hours or so though

Reason being my subscription usually runs out overnight and i would hate to come back expecting my skill to have finished and find my expired subscription has put it back 12 hours or whatever

may have been mentioned already, if so, 1 vote bump to that post :)

Good job CCP, again, I completely agree with this action and the dev blog. Thanks and it's about time. Whiners, STFU or GTFO already. The whole time you're whining for CCP to "fix" what has just been fixed you're paying for a game you swear to quit along with your alts. Do it already ffs, I'm sick of seeing your negative posts against a game you obviously enjoy.

CCP: 1
Whine Troll Emo's: -2

You lose emo kids, go play some Guitar Hero or something before you start crying.

if you dont pay, you dont play. period.

No one cares if your poor, or your gonna take your alts and cancel your account.

Either STFU or leave. Hopefully CCP understands that sometimes a general **** off attitude is good when dealing with the playerbase, as most of you complaining about them removing ghost training are being asshats about it.

CCP Wrangler: The only avenue left for CCP to regain any amount of credibility regarding this issue is to implement a skill training queue. ONLY this would provide adequate justification for these drastic measures as the ability to queue up multiple skills to train while you do not pay would be much more of an advantage of note than the current ability to have whatever skill is currently training when your subscription lapses complete.

Why not have a skill queue ready to implement when making these changes and give sufficient notice, I hope you have a rabbit ready to pop out of that hat.
