not sure if this completely belongs here but here we go anyway.

what are your thoughts on the upcoming skill que changes in regards to the selling of characters.
I personally believe we are going to get a big influx in highly focused characters within 2015 as people are able to simply train everything they need for one kind of focus and then set it up until its perfect, inject it with x amount of plex, mark on the calender when its all finished and pop it back out. for example, im considering buying a ****** toon with the basics trained, set up the que for a year to have one race perfect then bring it out and use it as an alt. i feel that this may have an impact on the pricing of characters, as well as the usual ( plex etc), toons that are more highly focused in one aspect sell at a higher margin than those who spread sp but if there is an eventual influx of characters, will we see a decrease in price and an increase in people expecting of more focused characters. just a thought i had as thinking about planning an alt. What are your thoughts?

If people have been plexing an account to train and sell, they have the ability to log in and queue up a new skill any time they want.
If they have been planning to train strictly for sale, they already have made a specific plan and are sticking to it.

I don't think a longer skill queue changes any of that.
And I think the whole 'train toons for profit' fad has hit its pinnacle some time ago.


As for the queue. I change my own plans almost monthly, so I don't plan on loading it up to max anyway.

I think it's great for people that might get deployed, or sick, or homeless, or whatever else life has to throw at them.
Just good customer service imho.

Unless they add injecting skills without the prerequisites this will not be a thing.

Most new accounts would need to inject books on a almost daily basis to start with.
