Are you sure? Because that is some of the people clamoring to ban alts and multiple accounts for that very reason.

However, I wouldn't call it much. If that were true, there would have been an equilibrium reached already. Unless people take the roleplaying too far and fight themselves in the metagame as well as in the pew pew.



I actually think around half the characters in Hisec are most likely alts of nullsec and lowsec players. I have 9 actual characters on 3 accoutns, all with uses and roles. Of that 9, 6 are actually in hisec.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Pretty much my point. Also, most people who wants alts banned should be in some other game, where the attachment to the toon is higher.

We all have the main, most people are not hardcore role players, but we play against toons, not people. But some people want to play against people, hence ban alts/multiple accounts, along with the jellies etc...

Cute.

I don't really think it's about their hardcore role play though ...

I remember seeing a bio about this....

Gate camping in a hic: 200 mil isk.
Bottle of bicardi: 20$

Killing your own indy alt hauling in 2 billion worth if pos mods for your corp: priceless



Yeah people do fight themselves in pew pew, spies are essentially that.

But also in the metagame? I mean, that is sad, posting in a forum against what you just wrote. Damn...
