Skill Cue Timer, Why The Limit?

hello

So i am curious as to why CCP does in fact limit the skill training cue to 24 hours. I see no "real" viable argument against a week long skill cue ability. If the accounts are paid for, CCP win, i think there would be a rise in alt chars if we could cue a week long worth of skills.

So here is what im going to do. Im gonna ask you to "like" this post if you agree the timer should be longer and post how long u believe it should be.

If so, by how long do u think? 3 days? 7 days? 12 days?

Id like to get an actual feel from people on this point, personally i think 24 hours is not long enough, i believe 7 days, would be more appropriate.

Ill leave it with you :)

It's not a queue, it's just a buffer. Learn to use search button, you scrub.

While CCP likes to earn money, they also want to maintain a gaming community, for such it is actually required for people to log in.
And even if it's just to log in to change skills - you might see a corpmate online, have a short talk, see how things are going.

Because the queue (that's right, it's spelled queue) is there to help you with the transition to a new skill. It used to be that you had to be online at the exact moment a skill ended if you didn't want to lose skill training time. That's the problem the skill queue was intended to fix and that's the problem it fixed. No extension necessary at all.

So here is what I'm going to do: I'm going to ask you to "like" this post if you agree OP is talking BS and agree that OP should shove shelve his idea.

Wasn't this discussed to death in the other thread on this issue?

there's no need for it to be longer than 24hrs.

Wait! OP has a point.

A 24 hour long cue does indeed sound far too long... How could anyone play pool with something that big?
