Would love for there to be a way to pay for time that your account was inactive and receive the skill points you could have received during that time.

Perhaps allowing you to pay double per month to train two skills at a time on the same character or twice as fast for the duration that your account was inactive.

For example if you were inactive for two years, it would allow you to pay twice as much each month for two years to double your training speed.

Massive incentive for returning players and for CCP to make bank. It would also be fairly subtle because you can only do it one month at a time taking an additional two years to catch completely up with the two years you were inactive.

or the player could do what many do is just train the char up while not even playing the game since they have money/plex burning a hole in the pocket.

I have left for a months long stints over the years...kept my training up during the breaks though.

Worth noting ccp makes bank off players who use my method. We either dip into isk saving or we use rl money for this since not spamming isk making to cover costs. I have had worse habits that cost more than 15 why don't mind this. Hell 15 doesn't cover my taxi one way to a night out at the bar that can leave me with nothing but a hangover the next day lol.


YOu also have the FOTM patch change quick train issue. Some players have alts on ice. And their main (m maybe an alt worth keeping alive they also use) make good isk to stockpile plex. Or hell lets make them AT winners, ccp gave them tons of plex Alt gets a power train with plex that if cheaper than char market or just more desirable to train themselves....they get that alt up much faster. Nice you have some time delay...shame some have the alts who when put to ice were missing just a few skills now made golden in a patch.

Cap alt put on ice for example. Probably flies a cap already for one race. Your double train (or faster by half train) is just racial cap train and weapons. rest of the skills in place most likely. If ccp makes say niddy/nag uber in one patch its not a stretch to cross train this quick if a cap already in place coming off ice.
