Because of my work offshore i am away from home 1/2 of the year. which leaves me with the same amount of untrained sp. what i would love to see is a skillmanager via browser or sometging like evemon, so us working abroad can at least train their skills. i have tried other programs, such as splashtop, but it requirs too much bandwith.

Many naysayers will say that it would make it easier for toonsellers to train their toons, but wtf? Its allready easy as hell!

Yeah...I can't help but agree with this. Frankly the only reason I can see as to why CCP hasn't allowed it through EvE Gate is security and to give players a reason to log in and play once in a while.

I don't think it matters either way anymore.

If I want to log in and play I log in and play. If I need to change skills I log in, change skills and log out. Simple as that. I spend more time on the forums at work than I do in EvE at home to be honest with you.

Still...my biggest concern on this would be security. It would be one more door for hackers to use to obtain your account. The new API system "should" fix that problem...however...I would rather wait until they actually release the "key fobs" as extra security. Perhaps even make it so you can only change your skills via the website, EvEMon or Aura if you have the key fob for added security.

Personally, I think issuing a "Demand" to CCP isn't the best way to go about proposing your idea.

I'm not saying I'm against the proposal -- just that issuing "demands" will likely not get you what you want. They may have mentioned something about this in one of the more recent devblogs, as part of the "make gate better" push for the DUST rollout.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

You open that door...the botting business and RMT would get out of hand.

You can demand all you want...you will go nowhere.
