This is making me laugh at CCP's ability at customer service. You guys are great at shooting yourself in the foot.
1. You created the surge in ghost training in the 1st place by removing 30day and 90day GTC's and making 60day GTC's the only type available and upping the price of them. (Shot 1 to the foot)
2. You then said that ghost training was a 'bug' and were removing it from the game even though it was pitched as a selling point to your game. (Shot 2 to the other foot)
It makes me wonder how long it'll take for you guys to fall over.
You're treating us like kids.You all know that eve has a more mature playerbase than the other MMO's out there. We're not mushrooms ya know (kept in the dark and fed with S***).

So u guys think that stonewalling and ignoring this will make it go away.
167 pages nearly 5000 posts most of whom have alt accts. Then u have the people who don't reply in these forum but will either quit alts or quit altogether.
You think doing this would not hurt u financially. 250,000 subscribers, how many of those would be alt accts?
U've lost my trust in you as a company with your twisting of the truth, and the handling of the customer base. The only good job you are doing is messing up yourselves and distancing yourselves from your customer base.
-6 accts from me with a lost revenue of $209.94 per 60days. |

Fortunately for me, I can read more than one line in the manual that is contrary to the numerous posts from DEVs over the years stating that this really wasn't an intended feature of skill training in EVE.
You'll have to excuse me, and the majority of EVE, for using common sense and taking updated information over old information. Especially when that updated information makes perfect sense.
If you can justify having multiple highly skilled characters for a fraction of the price that everyone else (you know, the ones that expect to actually pay the fee for being able to do game related things like training characters)has paid over the same amount of time, then good for you. While I have no animosity towards you, I really can't generate much sympathy for the angst you are experiencing. Its the price you pay for stubbornly attempting to justify what you were doing.
It's hardly surprising that all of the new players (and most everyone else that's been around for awhile) are somewhat amused by your distress and wonder why you are having trouble dealing with CCP finally fixing a borked mechanic. Especially when it is a matter that allows you to have characters equal in skill to their own, for a fraction of the price. If you can't understand that in a internet spaceship game, then good luck to you in the real world.
Edit: I almost forgot. For those spewing on about "thousands of accounts closed due to this change", the question was brought up in Zulu's thread. Closed accounts have numbered in the hundreds. Since the majority of those were already semi-active at best, your 170ish thread doesn't appear to be reflecting the true level of outrage thread has been claiming would be evident. It really is time to move on to more important matters, or if you feel that strongly quit running your mouth and quit already. This is old news and a dead horse.

Old thread or not, they knew about this feature/bug whatever, over 2yrs ago as stated in those threads. They've lied to you not once but twice over this. Unintended feature, even their own staff have said over 2yrs ago that inactive accts still train.
Imho- Ghost training was there because of the amount of time it takes to actually train the skills. It was a way to pull people in from other games like WoW etc who were used to 'skilling' up as they fight, craft, etc.
It was a marketing tool to draw in people who were sceptical about the whole real time training aspect of the game.
They've removed it now because they r established and no longer need it.
