How would you feel if you could pay an extra fee (PLEX or Cash) to train 2 chars on a account

I mean instead of only being able to train 1 char on a account (Currently), how would you feel if you could pay an extra PLEX per 2 months or maybe another 10$ to be able to train another char on that account, of course you can't use both at the same time, but personally I wouldn't mind training another char to do PI or Manufacturing or even train him to mission while I train my main to pvp.

It's not necessarily game breaking, but it would be for those people who don't like to manage 2 accounts or who don't want to pay the full cost for another account but don't mind not being able to play on both at the same time. Perhaps even eliminate the cost all together and just let us train 2 chars at once.

I imagine they'll never do this because they get more money for having 2 account activations, and there probably aren't enough people who don't want two accounts but would pay for the 2nd character to compensate for the amount of people with a second account who would move to this model. If that makes sense?

You just described a 2nd acct, but the 2nd acct has the added bonus of being played AT THE SAME TIME....!!!

I pay $11.95 a month for this service currently. CCP has kindly pitched in and let me log that account in at the same time as my main. Shocked

OP is saying you would pay the equivalent of a monthly fee to gain the functionality for 2 months (not 1), but of course, you have less functionality than a full account.

Post 5 is probably too soon to need a Recap.

Post 6, OTOH:

OP, didn't you suggest this a little while ago, just to see it shot down? Why revive your pain?

I'd like a plex for a 2nd training on same account mainly due to NOT wanting to maintain that 2nd toon training.

If CCP were ethical, this probably wouldn't bother me too much.

But frankly I've grown sick of seeing CCP try to figure out what they can get away with. It's time for them to get rid of all MT other than PLEX-for-gametime once and for all. They've tried to screw their customers enough. It's time for them to knock it off.

Actually if you guys didn't see or I messed up I meant to say that you'd pay a little less for a 2nd training char on the same account then you would for a plain second account, so for a little cheaper cost you can just train a second char on one account, that's just one of the nice options

@ the third post above this saying that I suggest this a little while ago, I don't believe I have, this would be the first time suggesting this, although I know other people have suggested this
