Multiple Training Queues

I had an idea that could potentially increase the CCP monthly revenue stream and increase the gameplay satisfaction of players. I was thinking that you could possibly offer a second level subsrcripton that would allow you to train all 3 characters on the account simultaneously. The second level subscription cost would have to be affordable to some players yet still have the incentive to spend the money to others who had the vision to see it through to its potentially lucrative end. Say an extra $10 (us) per month per account would allow all 3 characters to train simultaneously. Think of the increase in industry, The economy would bloom, Players could strategically plan industry operations on one character while playing pvp on another. The increase in revenue for CCP would be immediate for those accounts that choose the "Premium" subscription. The idea of paying in PLEX may have to be re-evaluated by adding an additional lower value unit to make up the difference for those who pay in PLEX. I know there are a lot of players who would jump at the chance to get all their characters trained up. i have 9 characters on 3 accounts and can only dream about what I could do if they all had superior skills. Do the math, it may make for an interesting addition to your already successful business plan.

Yea um how will this bring CCP more money ? So lets say you have 3 characters and a PLEX costs 15$ thats 45$/month for CCP what you suggest is to pay 25$. How is this a good buissness model for them ?

I its pointless most people if they have multiple characters on one accounts it's a main and two characters that dont need further training such as cyno alts or a jump freighter etc.

I would prefer that we be able to train at a speed equal to the current speed divided by the number of Characters training.
1 Character training = Full Speed
2 Characters Training = Half Speed
All 3 Characters Training = One Third Speed

Still doing the same amount of training for a length of time, just without the hassle of constantly turning training off and switching characters turning training on and then going back to the original character to actually Play.
Instead you just need to login to the other character when the training time is close to the end to manage the skill queues.

Better to have 3 train at 1/3 speed than anything else

This is not a new idea and would end up giving less income to CCP.
Because of that and wall-o-text, no.

*sigh*

Did you even search?

No, you didn't:

This is located simply by skimming the FIRST PAGE of the F&I thread. Do a slight bit of research next time, please.

But, I will give you the opportunity that I gave the other guy with a similar idea:

What do YOU think is a better monthly cost for this ability based on your needs to train 2 characters at the same time?

I suggest you read the other thread before responding. And maybe do some research on EXACTLY how much your account costs are over 6 months, a year, and any other length of time you feel I left out.

Responses from you that are determined to not have done the research on the subject will be ignored by me (and probably ridiculed by others).

Thank you.
