EVE General Discussion

If your beef is that Dual Training should be Triple Training instead . . . sure, that would be "more." It also certainly would cost more.

I assume that someone at CCP ran the numbers and figured that Dual Training will be a net revenue win for them, since the volume of people using it who would not pay for a second account will outweigh the loss of transfer fees and full account subs from those who decide to use Dual Training instead of dual accounts for short term skilling projects.

The most likely reasons they did not make Triple Training right away are that: (1) they decided not to put it in, because it would be a net revenue loss for them, at whatever price they think they can charge for it; or (2) they want to put it in, either for the same price or for a higher price, but they want to reality check their revenue plan for it with Dual Training first.

If Dual Training turns out to be a big loss for them, they can't really take it away, but at least they would be stuck with a lower net loss than if they had unboxed Triple Training straight away. If Dual Training turns out to be a big win, then they'll probably extend it to Triple Training at some point.

Everyone, bounty this idiot into oblivion.

wait so you can have 2 accounts and train 2 toons or have 1 account and buy plex to dual train on 1 account, which means you can't have both on at the same time. I am unclear how this could ever possibly save you money, unless plex prices drop which I somehow doubt they do anytime soon.

Look -- you can still do second(+) accounts, that's the right move for when you want two or more skilling characters that can log in at the same time.

If you want an alt though that just needs a minimal set of skills and doesn't need to be logged with your main to be effective, this is cheaper since they remain available even after you stop paying for the skills. Plex for second char training for a while, do a short skill plan, and you have a helper char that you never have to pay for again as long as the main on that account remains paid for.

Great for PI and Trade alts. Maybe even cynos (if you cyno for others as opposed to for you main). I am sure people will find many other uses for this as well.

If this isn't what you need, that's fine! Don't use it.

If you have an account that has a character in a Super Cap on it you are training. This Super cap character is stuck in this ship & only logs on when the Bat phone rings.

You can now train the other two slots on this account for characters that can be used on a daily basis. I.e ratter, miner, PI, pvper, afk cloaky to camp red systems, trader, incursion runner, neut freighter, Faction Warfare, & many other alts.

I will be taking advantage of this new feature. It saves me from training an alt on an extra account, just to spend two Plexes to transfer it to another account.

Well, they are a company after all, and most companies do stupid stuff in the name of profits. Like forcing us to buy another account if we want to train more than 1 character (rendering the other 2 characters on an account near useless).

And so it goes.

I dont think so, but let's say your argument stands. why is that a shame?

That's why they are working for, to make money. That's why all of us working for.

I want them to make A LOT of money. They deserve it, to keep this excellent game running.

I have writen down that the game is cheep (especially for such a quality). You can find the 15$ for the monthly subscription in coins dropped in the streets in a few evening walkings.

And please, dont say them greed. Many ppl work for that project. Servers cost a lot. Much money in additional services, like adverts etc.

Multiply now the population with the monthly subscription and you will see that they are not rich.

I wish they were. I hope they will be. All of them. They deserve it.

Yup shame on a commerical business for making money.

I bet you write to TV stations and say shame on them for forwarding the careers of celebrities you don't like too, right?

You want to know why this isn't a rip off as you call it? Simple.. For some players who can't or don't want to have a second acct to pay for they can train a alt. and not have to worry about the second subscription fee, hence not having to worry about losing that alt to not paying for it. This is actually pure genius on the part of ccp

Through people who don't want a second account because it costs too much, but who might want to toss a PLEX or two on an alt every now and then.

One or two every now and then > none, ever.
