Skill Discussions

Other MMORPGs don't offer always-on training, so you can't actually level two characters at once (as only one can be online at a time). Eve, thank goodness, does offer persistent training instead of insisting you grind levels of whatever. As a result, they only allow one training queue at a time (without extra investment). Makes sense to me.

You get 3 characters per account same as everyone else.

As has already been pointed out, pick any game you want, but you can't log in more than one character, or train more than one character at any one time on the same account.

Here you can, but you have to effectively pay for 2 accounts for a while until you train the second one to where you need it to be.

Simple answer: EVE is different. That is why EVE is still around. How many games are there that let you train your skills while you are not logged in?

And you can train all three pilots on your account without an additional fee. Only restriction is you can only train one pilot at a time without multitraining.

You can't play two players on the same account, at the same time. It's always been my recommendation that you DON'T split your skill time up on the one account. You just end up with two half assed characters.
So,
If you want to have two decent characters that you CAN play at the same time, you need a second account. And ya gotta pay for that.
2 or even 3 accounts can be fun btw. 30 bucks a month is a dollar a day. Pretty cheap entertainment where I come from.

Be happy that everyone else can't train 3 at once either, because OMG how much harder would that be to catch up with?

how the hell are you gonna level your mage and warrior at the same time? you cant!
you keep drop dollar amounts. do you know that you can buy PLEX with game currency and not pay a single real life cent for it? thus EVE, unlike all other MMORGs, allows you to train all 3 characters at the same time for free.

Life is a money pit my friend and when the bucks for EVE are a serious problem things more important than online games are probably too. As far as I know all Massive Multiplayer Online Games only have a limited “free to play” model/trial and will cost money when you want to advance. That there is a way to pay your sub with ingame currency is rare among MMOGs.
I started EVE seven months ago and I beg to differ. While skills were added, only the time to learn them ALL increased, the time to learn a subset and start into an EVE career got reduced as far as I know. New players start with far more starting skills and skillpoints than they used to when EVE was only a few years old. And some skill requirements were lowered like racial Battleship V to IV when training for a carrier. The 30 day skills are for vets that exactly know what they want to do in EVE, not for newbies or players training into their first EVE professions. Those long trains are like a warning sign: Don’t train into this if you are not 100% certain what you do.
As a non-native speaker I am quite fluent in English as a second language but I have no clue what you want to tell us here. If I ever got the feeling that a company has a good laugh together with their players it is CCP. And yes, salaries and servers have to get paid.
I sense a strong “bittervet” syndrome here. But if you ask me it has nothing to do with how skills are handled in EVE but solely with the fact that you spend all those years in highsec with mining and industry. Let’s assume you could have trained all three slots at the same time. What would have been different? Personally l love the EVE game mechanics for three things: That my pilots advances while don’t have the time to log in, that all my fits work without endless hours of grind for loot and that nearly everything can be blown up.

Just try something different? Join Horde/Dreddit/Brave whatever? Mine in a Wormhole with some other peaceful people and avoid conflicts as much as possible? (Easier than in Highsec when you ask me.)
Have look onto No Mans Sky to relax and play EVE when you want an adventure?

How can you train your Mage and Warrior at the same time from the same account in WoW? You can't. Sure, you can have up to I think 11 total characters per server, but you can't have more than one logged in (from the same account) at the same time. Thus you're really only leveling up one character at a time, and only while you're actually leveling (questing, pvp, raids, etc). Same 'can' go for EVE. You really want to divide your training time like you HAVE to in other MMO's such as WoW? Go ahead and pause the training on your main, log in an alt and fire up their training queue. That would be the most similar way to train alts in virtually every other MMO (like WoW).

Would you like to know how EVE's way of training is better than other MMO's? Your main is training whether you're logged in to game or not, whether you're actually doing anything productive or not. You can be logged in and working the trade market, or just staring at your ships in your hanger, helping noobs in chat, you're still leveling up presuming you have skills in your queue. And the irony of your post is, EVE is one of the only MMO's that actually LETs YOU train more than 1 character at the same time. Not the other way around like so many people think. Sure, it 'can' cost you more money to train multiple toons at the same time if you so chose, but once you figure out one of the many ways to accumulate ISK, you can start buying PLEX from the in game market with ISK. From there, you can either activate Multiple Character Training, or even pay your sub and not have to spend any real money at all. If you get good enough at making ISK, you can have all three characters on one account training at the same time or even run multiple accounts so you can log more than one toon in at a time and not have to spend a dime of real money.

Yes, the rub is that you'll be training for a looong time. You don't hit level cap easily like in WoW. That's another thing I prefer about EVE. In games like WoW, I hit level cap, do all the end game stuff and get bored. And in EVE, you don't have to be training long to learn how to make ISK, to work the market, to run missions, to explore, to pvp, to mine, to do Planetary Interaction, etc, etc. A 30day queue will let you do all those things.

So don't rage quit. Just look it from a different point of view.

TLDR; You have it backwards. Don't quit. EVE's way of training is actually better.

So many people took the bait.
