Skill Queues for Alts

I would like the skill queue to extend through all characters on an account, so that you could, theoretically, set an 11 hour skill on one, a 12 hour skill on another and they still have another skill start on the third after the 23 hours of training have ended on the other two.

Yeah, would be nice ... or if not a queue, at least the ability to say (from the alt) "yeah, pause training on [alt2|main] so I can train this skill"

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Another option is a step down system. Basically assign #1 #2 #3 in account settings.

Main runs out of queue and it rolls to the alt designated #2 then #3

This would allow people to take a vacation or not freak if the downtime for a patch went longer than expected.

I like the idea. But I am still kind of sad that I can't train multiple characters on the same account. What if two friends are trying to save money and so they share an account? What are you suppossed to do then?

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

WEll, you could try NOT violating the EULA?

I liked this post, because it's such a gem. Cool

I never said I was sharing an account. But what if someone was sharing an account with someone else?

They're not supposed to?

They would be violating the EULA, and that is a banable offence.

You really can't argue that a feature should be added to benefit people who are breaking the rules.

Then they'd be violating the EULA and likely be banned.
