Ok I have to say when I first read skill queue I was scared, yes scared that I could queue up skills for a year then I read the 24 hour limit and was OVERJOYED!
First the skill idea NEVER says anything about helping you out with your holidays it is not there to fix that issue, you all just wish it was.
Alot of complaints are how EVE has to make you log in to play, well I am the perfect example right here. I am ADD and I have never played a game longer than a month. I am going on 6 months now and I am really really amazed at myself for that. Yes a large part is how massive EVE is and how I never really run out of things to do, but there is also the fact that I have to keep on my skills and this keeps EVE fresh in my mind. If I could queue up a month or a year worth of skills I would slowly forget about EVE and this is not what I want.
I can understand all you that go on long excursions and lose skill training, well thats a part of life and CCP doesn't want to address it and I am completely satisfied with the queue system that's being implemented. I lose out on large portions of skill training too but I don't wish there was a way to not have to play EVE to be good at EVE.
The skill queue is there to make EVE's skills more convenient. You no longer have to log in RIGHT when you skill finishes to change it, you can log on within 24 hours of your 7d skill finishing and queue up your next skill and let the queue handle it. This allows me to dictate when I log on to change my skills. I can log on at the same time every day and even though the skills aren't finishing at that time I won't lose a minute of training. That's what the queue is made for.
People saying you only play on weekends, sorry but if you don't have time to log on once for a couple of minutes every day to edit your queue then what are you doing playing now, you don't even have the ability to decide WHEN you log in right now so this queue is still helpful for you.
In short the skill queue is here to allow you to decide when you log on to play and to prevent you from having to set alarms for 4am in the morning. If you don't have the ability to log on once a day and you don't have the long skills to take up that extra time, then you lose training time just like you ALWAYS did. So this addition is in no way useless, it's just useless for doing what its not supposed to do, and just like I would no sooner eat my soup with a fork I would no sooner attempt to use this proposed queue idea to help my vacation planning.
Thank you
