EVE General Discussion

Why does the third alt in a OMEGA account can be trained like an Alpha account???

We are already paying the premium account why force me to have a second free account. im already paying 1 multicharacter training.

Ive just want him to be training something. Even if its slow and not all the skills.... better than nothing

Lol pointless comment but i will indulge you.

I can set up a free account and set it to train stuff then transfer it to my account or keep that.... Its the same.... thats why the 'force " it.

But no one is saying you HAVE to. You are just just staying you can. You already have multi toon training going on

You dont understand the system.

On Alpha/Omega account, you can only train one character at a time.
Once Omega, you can invest in multitraining to train one or two more, simultaneously.

One Alpha account character, at a time, per account, can train at half the rate of an Omega character.
One Omega account character, at a time, can train at twice the rate (and no restrictions), of an Alpha account.s.

Your Omega accounts third character, is also an Omega character.
It will only train if you make it your training focus, or buy multiitraining for it.

Omega does not mean that ALL characters on that account train simultaneously.
Only one, which is your current choice.
Same applies to Alpha.

BUT

On an Omega account, ALL of the characters can use ALL their skills.
Whereas on an Alpha account, MOST skills are restricted..

Do you understand?

All characters on an Omega account, train at Omega rates, if assigned as active training focus or multitrained.

This is a nonsense statement.

OP just hadn't understood how the system works.

The funny part would be what would stop CCP from allowing an Omega, read paid for account, train dual training at alpha speeds and only to alpha skills? Basically you would be splitting up the training as alpha training speeds are exactly half of omegas so technically youre getting the same SP just split on two accounts. Ironically you could make dual training a very interesting prospect with this system. You pay for the ability to train all accounts by paying for two and splitting one up.

So you would be paying for alpha training time on a paid account.

NO, he understands and knows that you can only have 1 character training for SP per account (except if you use this).

he is just being greedy.

I think the request makes sense and would be a nice addition. Give us the ability to designate our Omega characters as Alpha if we choose to. Save us from needing separate Alpha accounts and allow us to do some basic training on an alt before paying for dual character training.

Don't ask, don't get. There's nothing wrong with making a request. It would be a boring world if people didn't get "greedy" and try to improve things.

I'm sure plenty of people are opening second accounts to give themselves an Alpha character. This suggestion just cuts down on the "admin" involved.
