To keep you hooked.
Then again, you'll notice that those skills aren't really necessary to train either. Just because there are skills that take a while to train does not mean that there is any need to extend the queue — it rather demonstrates the opposite, actually.


Also, this.



Plenty of skills that are necessary for further progression that take anywhere from a couple weeks to a month to train.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

You really want to see the daily login numbers collapse don't you?

Marketing would have a conniption.

But who wants happy customers? The hell with them....

You don't need any 8+ rank skills at V to “progress”.

You might want to pick up a few to specialise, but that's something vastly different and something you can easily choose not to do.

While it´s cool that you can advance your character when you are offline, we did worry that if we introduced a skill queue some players might just set a queue for a year and become less active in EVE. That´s not what a massively multiplayer ONLINE game is about. EVE is a social game and we want you exposed to other players so you can start making legends out of you or corporation and strive for domination. A long abstinence from EVE would ruin this for us.

Hate to break up the party, but this thread is a bit redundant as this topic A. Has been discussed numerous time before and B. is posted in the wrong section of the forum. The latter being less important btw.

Thread locked.

The rules:
16. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.

Edit: Also, the post above mine is spot on and saves me the linking to the Dev Blog. Thanks for that Tau Cabalander.
