Can we get a timer to tell us how much time we have left on our dual character training? It's all nice and dandy that you know when you're within 7 days.. but that's not very useful when you're trying to plan a proper skill queue.

Today evening I check evemon to see what's the situation on my skills and mails on my accounts and strange thing happen ; there's characters missing their training, but evemon don't say anything. I log to search and answer, and realize I don't have dual account anymore. I had to search my wallet entry to check which date I bough a PLEX for that to know it was not an error...

Seriously, can't you add a notification or something to let us know when dual training is about to wear off?!

seriously, why can't we see our balance of remaining training time (a resource we paid for)?

unless it's published somewhere i can't find... however, SO many other people can't find it. if there was a clever person out there i'd hope they would have shared the answer before 15 pages of "wtf is my balance"

i hope your vacations were nice, because we would really like you to get to work, and allow us manage our training.

i can't think of any reason to do this besides 'lazy.' this is speculation, true. what else are we left to do w/o more information? help us out!

Yeah, why would you NOT put some sort of timer in there?

This is really a PITA atm.

Yup, this needs some lurve.

API lurve.

since i started playing eve, i had always wanted to train the alts on my accounts, but this is not that way i am interested in doing it, i already pay for the account and the 3 character slots, i should be able to train all 3 at the same time, for the subscription i already pay for, charging more than my current subscription to train an alt on my account is little more than robbery.

no other game charges people to use alts, and most of us already have 1, 2 or more alt accounts already, gouging more and more money out of players is not a good idea.

CCP does not charge for alts. You get three characters total on each account. In other games you can only "skill" one character at any time, same as in Eve.

So...

Why don't you just get another account and Plex it, so you can do the same thing you are saying and actually multibox with it? and you get bonus training days with that!!!!

Once you're done transfer it over and you are pretty much all set. I really don't see the usage in this.

Correct me if I am wrong.

You're completely right. MCT costs $20.00 for 30 days, where you can buy ingame time for just $15.00 for 30 days. What's the point? Especially considering that there's discounts in buying 3, 6 and 12 month terms. I guess I can see if you want to do this very short term, to train up some specific skills, but for the most part I see it as a waste of cash.

Considering that you can't use both characters at the same time, this would only be worth it if this were good for 60 days per Plex, at the current price it absolutely makes no sense.
