Player Features and Ideas Discussion

First of all, its just an idea, I hope veterans can go easy with it.

I watched a video that a player was operating 8 alts at the same time, he was using 3 of his alts for intels, he alt-tabs between his main and alts to engage his targets at the right time near stargates, he even prepared his repairing alt in position and logged on to it to repair his main after the fight started.
From my point of view, multiboxing is equal to cheating in pvp, its like peeking others' papers during the exam for answers; glancing opponents' screens in CS; having open map in Dota, it is not fair for whoever gets involved.

Instead of letting players to operate infinite accounts where endless 'afks' sit around stargates, jumpbridges and stations, CCP should make one account with 12 character slots by default(I assume 12 roles are enough for one player), and using plexes to purchase additional slots. The server should also restrict one IP address to one account only. OR similar methods to eliminate to 1 account each person.

Benefits:
1. Providing fair competition in PVP for both sides.
2. Reinforcing the idea of MMORPG, making each role more important and challenging to play by adding more contents, playing styles and game features.
3. Force players to be more sociable, eg, have to ask for a proper tank or salvager for DEDs for extra safety and incomes.
4. Reduce unnecessary calculations at the server end which reduce lag and time dilation.
5. Reduce scammers/personal assualters because they will get their mains banned too.
6. (Not sure if this one is a benefit) Corps can stop worrying about spies, they can view all corps members' mains/alts through APIs, on the other hand a true spy can hide even deeper with all his characters.

After hours of research, I have finally found the solution, theres a game called Star Citizen. Space Sim/FPS. A game really deserved the MMORPG title, that every player involved will actually role play their character. I've done with arguing with you guys, you want keep rolling your 2-3 alt accounts then keep it up.

What I mean by that is that not revealing the position that easily, as they are only a few places you can be in a system.

Okay now even if this WERE to be a thing, and i am by no means saying it should...

What happens to my alt? The reason he exists is because its his job to drive my freighter when i am running incursions and need to haul a buttload of ****,... Now since we lack an instant travel function (and really really REALLY shouldnt want one) hauling my junk would be a very painfull process in deed...

Not to mention doing stuff like OGB on your main, its the one thing even more boring then mining... ASK ME HOW I KNOW!

Sometimes I wonder if the people who post threads here even play this game

Thats why I said adding more playing styles/contents to these roles, to make them more challenging and enjoyable. I'm not the one who started with the idea, its CCP who mentioned these 10 roles over Roles

That seems to display 10 roles that people can do... I must miss the giant neon sign saying "OH BTW, YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE ACCOUNT AT A TIME!"

No, your idea is restricting people to one account. It is entirely separate from enhancements in the gameplay experiance of varios careers. Don't try and wallpaper your idea with a general CCP roadmap.

-1. The day I can only use one account is the day 4/5 of my accounts go dark.

Yeah, I play this game, so far I've played for a week

Sorry if my idea upset you, but no need to be salty to a rookie who just wants to share his ideas for a game he loves. I've never asked CCP to execute it immediately.

1. If you have zero experience with it, then you don't have the necessary knowledge to generate an informed opinion, and are just trolling. Trolls are not restricted to GD.
2. Multiboxing is less machine dependant than you think. My box is a 3GHz AMD quad core with 8GB RAM and a nvidia GT 640 video card. If I cut the graphics to minimum, I can easily run 10 clients on a box that cost me less than US$300 to build.
3. A second monitor? Sure, I have one of those. It's a little 19" Dell thingy that I picked up out of the local internet advertising site (craigslist in this case) for US$10. The only use it gets when I'm playing EvE is to display my voice comms and Pyfa. Granted my main monitor cost more than my tower, but before I got it I used dual 19" monitors and stretched EvE across both of them, because 19" monitors are cheap, you just need to look around.
4. EvE is not like any other MMO, so don't try to apply their standards to it. If you don't like this fact, in the account management section of the EvE website is a button labeled "Unsubscribe" that you should probably use.

Hmm, Im not really a computer engineer, but im sure there will be similar methods to restrict the amount of gaming clients opened on a single personal computer, it doesnt necessarily have to be IP restriction, it could be registered gmail account only(after google introduced google +, google is able to identify and integrate multiple gmail addresses to one single account who registered using same real name, apparently a few online shopping websites like ebay/amazon is using this method to identify and eliminate scamming accounts/ accounts that people to avoid using because of bad reputation), of course not everyone is using google email to register eve account.
