Yup guys, the title says it all. Im pretty sure eve players were recently given the opportunity to start training two characters at a time. Its important to note that they probably still cant play with both characters at the same time, but they can atleast have two accruing passive points. WHICH is huge on eve because many players pay for two accounts just so they can train two characters. Now I realize theres nothing stopping Dust players from just hoarding say..... 10 alt accounts as the game is free to play. But if that's true and players are going to do it anyway, I see no reason why CCP just doesn't give us the ability to passive gain our other characters slots too..... idk maybe that's just me.

I just tried to dual train in EVE and like has already been posted - it ain't free. It costs the same as activating a second account.

So using EVE as an excuse to get dual training in Dust maybe doesn't make a lot of sense (unless the argument is EVE can dual train for the cost of a second account so why can't we - and our accounts are free so...)

It always did strike me as odd to not have passive SP on our other characters since we can just make extra
PSN accounts for free. As things stand now this is encouragement to create extra PSN accounts so our alts all get passive SP. The only thing I can think of is maybe they want us to make extra PSN accounts for some reason ... Or maybe sometime in the future our Playstation accounts will not be free (as in maybe we will need to goto plus accounts which has been hinted at for the PS4).

Money plain and simple.

You can split up AUR on 1 psn account. With an Alt you have to Buy seperate AUR.

You can train as many characters as you want in dust. Create alternate accounts, they are free FYI!

You can also put passive boosters on several chars to get passive SP gain.

sure, just as long as you pay 20 bucks a month (price of a plex) to activate it.

But that can't be true..... Why would I want to spend 20 dollars on each alt account??? I'd rather just put 60$ on my main so I can actually use some of the extra money on other things too, not just DUST. I mean lets be honest here.....

WHO HERE PUTS MONEY ON TO EACH OF THEIR ALT ACCOUNTS???

And then lets ask a similar question......

WHO HERE WOULD SPEND AUR ON TWO OR ALL THREE OF THEIR ALT CHARACTERS IF THEY WERE ALLOWED TO BUY PASSIVE BOOSTERS FOR THEM???

...... it comes down to people don't want to spend money on non-main accounts. simple as that

I was under the impression that by activating passive boosters on a alt charachter on a same account works.

ie. Activate the Booster on alt char that doesen't have Active passive SP on and you get the 0.5 times or 50% of the passive SP gain that comes from the Booster. Since I seem to remember something of this sor being on the Booster descripion text.

I can't acces my PS3 right now to validate this, but this should be easy to do and confirm. Just switch the passive SP gain off of the char that has Passive booster and make note of SP ammount. And wait few minutes and log into that booster char and take a look.

i wouldnt spend a dime on my alts. But many people play their alt like a main. Some have even switched their alt into the main slot.

CCP will take every penny they can get. I had 4 toxin subbies on my mains PSN account. they wouldnt refund for AUR because it didnt make them any money. They offered to move one to a different character on that account. regardless i would have 1 toon with 2 blueprint subbies.

These are the guys who want you to grind for two weeks just to get a 5% bonus to something. All the while commercialing you every match in the warbarge to buy AURUM.

By all means go ahead and do that, but even if its true I still advocate the ability to have all three characters running passively anyway. I mean..... im still looking for a reason they wont just let us do that? Whats the difference between me making two Alt PSN accounts and just having all three of my Dust characters gaining SP? absolutely nothing except its a pain in the ass for the customer to make these alt accounts......

To spend cash on same PSN account or different PSN account doesen't, in my opinion, make any differece. It's money spent anyways.

YES but your more inclined to spend more money on your main then on an alt you never play......

Em... alt char on same account or alt char on different account.... what's the difference? You still need to restart game to switch chars and takes about same time to do it either way.

And yes people play on those alts and also put cash onto them.

I only read the first post. Sorry if someone has already said this, but you can only train two accounts on eve if you use a plex for it right? What I mean by that is you buy a plex using isk or real life money. Then instead of using the plex for more time on the account you can use it for enabling you to train 2 accounts at once. Correct me if I am wrong.
