Actually i agree with what the persons saying-

I get CCP's point of the dual training but i get this persons point of spending a plex cost of 20 dollars for it. This alt will only be logged in training while there will continue to be only 1 allowable character to be used on the account at any given time. So it boils down to this -

Main Character - Already 14.95 a month
Alt Character - 19.99 a month

Only one character can be used at any given time.

Alt is only logged in to say 10 minutes a day to check skill training and some times NOT logged on for a entire week due to the length of some skills.

So say you have one skill that takes 1 week to train and you need to do 4 of them. For 4 log ins for a total of a months time it cost you $20 + 14.95 for your main equaling 34.95 just for your character.

This is no way a viable option and no offense but really screams greed lol. I love Eve and the idea of Eve but that upsets me personally to see them do that to the player base.

But then again i guess its like you said, if you buy it with out wieghing the options i guess its the same as giving away 500mil isk for a cargo expander. Just a little crazy the scaming cause people don't do the math has gone beyond the game.

WHICH is funny because if one of the players takes advantage of the game this way it breaks the rules lol.

I think eve is going to see most of the users for this like me will use in game plex bought from the market with ISK i've earned and eventually lead this to crashing the plex system.

Another example of this which proves the point. I just created a alt (mind you using a plex i bought with ISK which makes eve 0 extra dollars) and my first thing i want to train is Spaceship command to level 5. Why well simple, this is one of the most important skills in flying anything...Total training time coming out gate is 5 days and 17 hours.

Now lets say i want to do this to another skill like say Cybernetics so i can install implants and boost my training time...Well there went 15 days for JUST level 5, then lets talk about the 5 other days it takes to get to lvl 5.

Then there is Caldari Frigate, for sure gonna want that up to atleast lvl 3. Well there go's 7 hours the first lvl, 1 day and 17 hrs the second lvl and THEN 9 days and 18 hours the 3rd. So say i paid cash for the plex...i spent 20 dollars for what?

Here better yet let me tell you what i just paid for if i did pay cash -

I paid for a tune who can't fly with my other toon, Who is gonna take FOREVER to be able to use...so basically i paid for something to set and not be used for a couple months...YAY ME!

Who knows maybe this is a good way for anyone to farm characters.

Not a know it all but how i see it personally.

Just my 2 cents :D

/me slowly walks away....

Wow its hard to believe that a company who owns EVE and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions a year can be so stupid enough to not listen to their own forums when some one says HEY, this is going to cost you out the ass. So question is who pushed this idea, the dev's? what they need a new feature?? cause i know the user base wouldn't of thought about this on a level where they pay 34.95 a month for 2 accounts mind you and can only use one.

Who in their right mind is that stupid....For 2 accounts MONTHLY your only talking 14.95 each, HELLO MATH ALERT thats 30 dollars OR 29.9 a month..lol

YOUR paying 34.95 for 2 accounts one you can't access.

Here let me break it down easier since obviously you have a problem.

You have 2 home phones. One you use 2 times a month and pay 40 dollars for. The second phone you use about 50 to 60 times a month, you spend 35 for the second phone. You just wasted 40 dollars...i mean I'm worried about how many of you live in a shack piggy backed off someones network lol since you can't do normal math on investing your money.

Ok im done this is #%!ing hiliarious lol....

This is one of those threads that just makes me shake my head.

DCT is not intended to be used forever. If you need to train a character long term, chances are you want it to be logged in along with your main at some point. So get a second account.

Her's a perfect example of what DCT was meant for:

I want an alt that can do exploration so I too can bask in the glory of finding faction POS bpcs. Turns out I have an alt, that for 30 days of training, can have those skills maxed out. I'm really not going to use the character a lot, mostly when I'm either bored or broke. This sounds like a job for:

A) Staring a second account (or sixth in my case).
B) Dual character training.

Since I only plan on logging the character on occasionally, starting another account seems like a real waste of time before we even look at the plex costs. And since I can max the skills I need in under 30 days (27 to be precise), this is exactly the kind of scenario that DCT was meant to solve. I can spend on plex and get a character I need, as opposed to 4 (or whatever it costs to start a new account and train for 30 days), saving me money in the long run (since I don't have to continuously plex that account to keep the one toon active), and the hassle of managing another account. As it's also one of my cyno alts, the character now has dual purposes, AND I don't have to interrupt training my Moros pilot for 30 days.

DCT for the win, in this case. Cheaper, better, less :effort:.

Someone gets it... I do the same with some industrial alts that I need but haven't been able to train up without stopping training on my combat characters.

-- Post deleted for inadequately thought out opinion --

It is a quick way to make cyno / PI / trading /hauling /whatever alts. I started using this feature as soon as it came in and will shortly stop using it as my goals for it will be furfilled. At the end of this process i will have a bunch of useful alts that can sell stuff, do PI, light cynos all with multiple jump clones. I could have done this before but i would have had to either stop training on my main for a while or open yet another account, train for a bit and then use plex to transfer the char across to my main account.
It is easy + convienient and once done i will retain access to these chars for as long as i play without increasing my long term playing costs. The old system is still available if you prefer that one.
