Title.

Stop favoring multiple alts.

It's impossible to PvP successfully when everyone i fight has an arty thrasher alt, or links, or falcon alts, or cloaky alts, or ______ alt in a hawk, or sniper talos, or any other horse **** where 1 ship is designed to do X, while the 2nd ship is designed to do Y. X and Y = **** for the soloist. Since this game is, truly, based on PvP, this is problematic for a lot of us.

The advantages are staggering. No I'm not turning this game into a cable bill. And no, I can't always play when my friends play.


Funny that someone with the ability to be in 2, 3, 4, or 5 places at once has an advantage over those who are stuck in one.

You could get an alt yourself or find some friends that are online when you are. Limiting the accts players can use is a bad idea.

The niche of single boxing should not be catered to. EVE is about 1) social engineering, connections and "friends" 2) ability to multitask. Of course the pilot with better multiboxing capability should win, because the competitive aspect of EVE is in how many clients you can operate.

First?

Sorry to break it to you, but EVE is an MMO.

Even if people are not multiboxing, you'll rarely fight anyone solo because they bring friends. So you better get some friends too, or keep losing because you are alone. Your choice, but it's not the fault of the game.

I don't disagree with your OP, but Pandora's box has already been opened, there is no going back.

Maybe go on the test server if you want 1v1 gudfights Ugh

I was just having a brief look at your killboards for the past 2 months, and I've come to the conclusion that you like to fly "expensive" (T2) ships, and you've run into numerous gatecamps and ganks where you were on the receiving end. Thus you keep losing more ships than you kill, and hence your wallet is slowly shrinking. And so now you're very upset and you're desperately looking for a scapegoat.
And your conclusion is that obviously every time you die, it's unfair, and because of someone's alt. And you have absolutely no control over your situation.

SOLUTION: Fly with friends/fleets and feel your e-peen grow as you gank people like yourself with greater numbers. And if you insist on flying solo, learn how to use Dscan properly as to avoid things, and don't blindly jump gates you know are usually camped, especially in FW lowsec.

In what way are they favouring multiple alts?

That has nothing to do with alts, and everything to do with 2 > 1.

How are you positively identifying all of these as "alts" instead of just multiple players?

Lots of frig solo going on in fw. If you are solo roaming then learn how to split people up, either getting fast one to chase you out a few systems, getting some to agress and jump thorough, getting to 70-90km so their gang cannot warp to them.

For people who pay/grind for mutliple alts, well, if they really want to win at spaceships that badly.......

Guys , he's right. We need to stop now. Everybody unsub all your alts right now. I will too, I promise....
imagine that though, everyone unsubs their alts and highsec population suddenly drops to zero. And then we all have our Charlton Heston moment...it was us all along...we were the carebears!!!
