You continue to fail to bring in new players, so you continue to push alts onto your existing clientele, in a vain effort to keep the game going.

Alt's are a cancer to EVE, until CCP actually admits that, and starts putting out real content, rather breaking and fixing things that haven't worked for years, the ugliness will continue.....What?

When you figure out how to train 27,000 SP/hr with one account, let me know.

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Apparently neither does the fact that CCP is responding to overwhelming popular demand by focusing on fixing and iterating on core features of the game instead of bringing in completely new (and likely somewhat buggy) features all the time.

i got few core featurse that has not been fixed nor iterated for years.... Science and industry, POS, Corporate roles

But then again someone at CCP would actually need to understand how their game actually works in order to change those better. So i think were out of luck on these core features.

Acording to latest CSM minutes, seems like they just scraped POS mechanics from list of things to be done this year...

We were recruiting.

Lets get real here for a second.
Alts have their good parts, such as tanking, while your main mines out asteroids.
This is due to the fact that mining ships can not properly tank while mining without having to spend enormous amount of isk
for officer and faction fits. So one would bring in their alt with a T1 ship specifically fitted to tank the rats.

Another form of use for Alts is for camera view of a certain system in your alliance.
60-200 reds show up in system, its good to have an eye on the station, so one would know whats going on.
People do this all the time, so its not breaking news to anyone.

I for sure wish that CCP would include actual Robot Camera, that alliances can use (on their own systems)
Planetary already lets us get them, why not actually manufacture them and use them.?
Maybe have a timer of use for them, like 1 hour eve time max, then they self destruct.
Some and possibly many might hate me for it.....lolz

Also to mention, If CCP seriously wanted to get more real players into the game, they seriously need to drop their
monthly subscriptions way down. people have real life things to pay for. spending this amount of current monthly subscription costs forces people to take large breaks from playing eve, such as myself.

$5. a month would bring thousands of new players into Eve Online. (Actual Real Players) not Alts.
Eve Online subscribers would go from its current numbers to a wopping 500-k over night, if not more....

I say this because there are many people who have real life matters to attend to than dishing out the current rates of subscription cost to some gaming company. I love EvE, but after I have been through the NYC Sandy Hurricane and almost
losing my house, and have over $80,000 dollars of repair cost for the house and set it back to its
proper location on the foundation.
My house shifted 2 feet off the foundation, and water flooded all the way up to

the cieling of the second floor of my home.
Eve is getting expensive for me., but its my outlet. Thats the reality that CCP has to view and face.
The only reason why people are jumping to these "Power Of Two" and "Buddy" programs they have going on,
is the actual fact that people are trying to find affordable ways to play this game.
Permanently Lowering the monthly subscription cost, WILL solve most of these issues when CCP says::
(We cant find or get new players in our game).....

CCP has been working on core features and I think it has turned things around. They went from crisis when they were derailed with incarna, to now growing again. When we were in the incarna mire it wouldn't be unusual for me to see only 20some thousand online.

Really someone should start a thread of all the great things ccp has done since incarna.

For me they would be:

1) Redid crimewatch so we can pvp in low sec!!!!

2) fixed rockets and hybrids

3) Added nice new ships and rebalanced others so they are like new.

4) fixed pretty much every single bug that was plaguing the game (warping pods out, fw plexes not spawning etc.)

5) gave mining a boost

I mean this is just off the top of my head but if you would have told me ccp would do this during the incarna quagmire I would have said you were dreaming.

Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

As an alt of an alt of an alt, I support this product/service.

Remember a good alt needs an alt too.

Or should I call myself a sidekick now .....hmmmm things to ponder.

So far, no one has answered the topic. I don't understand this "Side-Kick Thing" I purchased the additional acgount, but cannot find a "side-kick" and support has not responded to my petitions. How do I access my
"side-kick"? I under stand "Alts" in most MMO's, but how can one use a main for mining and an alt tor tanking?

Is someone really complaining about $15 a month? If you can't afford that, maybe it's time to get a paper route?

And can you imagine what that would do to the PLEX markets? It really would turn EVE into a MT based game.

EVE and CCP have been actively supporting multi-accounting since like forever. The original "Power of Two" campaign was run in 2004 if i recall correctly and has been popping up at least once a year since then.

EVE is one of those games where you can actually make good use of separate accounts, be it simultaneously or interchangeably, but it is not required. I, for one, only have one active account (i do have more, but only one of them is active for the last year+). This way you can PVP away on one character while your other one is happily chipping away at the rocks or shoots red crosses for profit. Or you can pvp on both characters simultaneously for an added effect!

The "sidekick" is the additional account you have purchased, access it in the same way you access your main one, by logging in via the EVE client. You can have as many EVE accounts logged in at the same time as your computer can handle.

Ooh, now I know my CCP name if for some reason I work for CCP, it would be 'CCP Response'

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.
