EVE General Discussion

I think alt skills should train while your main does. Make the alt train slower, like 50 or 75% slower.

Ahha, sorry. And it's "jebus". Ask Homer.

Possibly but that could lead to abuse of the system itself

Of course it could be changed. And made much easier.

But ask yourself this. What does CCP get out of making it easier to play on one acct than two? The answer is nothing. It's not in their best interest to have people doing on one acct what they currently do on two. That most assuredly includes character training.

Mr Epeen

This was proposed before elsewhere:

Basic Account - $15 a month, can train once character.
Silver Account - $20 a month, can train two characters at once.
Gold Account - $25 a month, can train all three characters at once.

Advantages over multiple accounts: It's cheaper and you only need one login for up to three characters.

Disadvantage over multiple accounts: You can still only have one character logged in at once.

Therefore it would be an alternative to multiple accounts for those who don't feel the need or compulsion to "multi-box" the game. Multiple account still have their place, of course, such as "one person" mining fleets with two Hulks and an Orca. What this would do is create a larger market for specialized alts. For example: You are a PvPer, but also want to dabble in T2 blueprints or something. You're main character that you use most of the time can train your ship skills. Your "science alt" can repsec & focus entirely on just those skills needed for T2 production. Or you can have an alt just for flying jump freighters while your main stays in their warship. Or a dedicated industrialist can train their main as a pro miner and their alt as a backup to open up more production lines for their products. Most common, I believe, would be dedicated PI alts and Corporate Management alts (thus allowing you to maximize Trade, Retail, Accounting, Corporate Management, etc while your main is off doing more interesting things).

Doing any of these tasks now sadly requires multiple accounts (because if you only have one account then why train an alt when you can just keep training your main to do the same thing?)

Another advantage to this over multiple accounts is that when you're done training your specific function alts you can just go back to a Basic Account again.

Would this cause CCP to lose money? Some, but I think they would actually gain more in the long run. I believe that there are many players who have no desire to run multiple accounts (and all the expense & logistics that go with them) who would have far fewer qualms about just paying a little extra to be able to train multiple characters at once on a single account. Yes, some potential multi-account players might "downgrade" to this, but an entirely new untapped market of the previously mentioned players would be opened, and I think that market would more than exceed the difference.

I am entitled to my opinion.

And no, i do not want multi char training in EvE, there would not point, there is a point to having more accounts, i have 4

PvP
Exploration
Missions
Industrial

If they were on one account i would have to do one thing and one thing only

Again, another stupid idea deisgned to get u ahead fast.

I do like how keep trying to derail the thread
