EVE General Discussion

1. Leave the system and go somewhere else.

2. Don't run sites if/when there are people in system you can't do anything about.

3. You don't need more ISK, you need to stop killing ships you can't replace.

I don't understand. I was in sov null-sec on another character (my very first one), and had no problems whatsoever running anomalies in peace. I didn't have alts either -- just the one character to PvP and make ISK. When we weren't roaming, we'd only see a few neutrals an hour coming through our systems. Could easily complete Havens and Sanctums in between seeing neutrals, or just start aligning when they arrived if we weren't done yet. I had my own POS, and was making my own projectile ammo and heavy missiles so I didn't have to pay somebody else to make and transport them.

And now with this character I do roams with my corpies all the time and see nobody for twenty or more systems that have plenty of anomalies to run.

Maybe it's the particular places you've been trying to do this in. The times are important too -- prime-time is different from late night.

If running anoms is ur thing then don't run them in high sec, u would be better of finding an alliance based in a quiet part of low or null n ratting there. Unless ur goin to run incursions or run lvl 4 missions high sec isn't that great for ratting.

Eh, I MIGHT agree on the null sec part to a limited degree, but you couldn't be more wrong about lowsec, if you are having that much trouble there, then either smarten up, increase your carebear capacity even more, or unsub.

Hal Morsh is a strong contender for worst eve player.

Well then you need just one Jita with 0.1 sec status. Very fun.

Don't forget #1.

You are in a Corp (only 7 members? In Null sec?). But you ARE in an alliance? In Null sec? Why don't you join the fleets? You have a decent Killboard - you seem competent even. You were in a kill that had 46 people involved in it. HOW do 46 people get organized enough to be involved in killing one T1 cruiser?

Is English your second language?

So maybe re-evaluate your priorities in Eve to something you can do solo? Sounds like you are trying to play solo already.

Alt exploitation makes a lot of things in EVE undoable. You can't cut the ISK lines for major alliances because they can just farm anoms and incursions in high sec on another account in an unaffiliated corp/alliance. You can't have a bounty system because people will simply blow themselves up on another characer in an unaffiliated corp/alliance and claim their own bounty. You can't cut their supply lines because people will just use JF alts in an unaffiliated corp/alliance and leave that corp for a new one if you wardec it.

But at the same time, the game is designed to force you to use alternate accounts. You can only train one character per account. You can only JC once every 24 hours, and now you have jump aids that prevents you from using jump drives and bridges to make up the distance in space, so if your main lives in nulsec you can't just run to Jita whenever you need something. You can't safely move around on your own even in high sec, so you must have a scout if you're flying anything valuable, but there's no one who's going to scout for your 24/7 besides yourself. Fleets with links completely outclass fleets without links, and links will be the first thing targeted on the field so we use them all off grid, yet no one wants to be that one guy who flies in a straight line by himself in the middle of nowhere while everyone else has fun, so you someone has to have a booster alt to ensure you can compete. You can't train for both combat and industry at the same time, so if you're new you need at least 2 accounts just to be able to experience the depth of the whole game, and even then you're still missing a huge portion if you don't at least run 3. The list goes on and on.

He's not wrong though; the prevelence of alts does make things more convenient for the player but at the same time it flies squarely in the face of the type of game that CCP want to make. How can I win a war by disrupting my enemies isk making when they can unload that responsibility from their main to some alt.

CCP wants our characters to have meaning? Well why let us make an unlimited amount of alt accounts to take over any responsibilities the main can't meet. CCP wants us to interact with each other? Well too bad, it's much simpler just having alts do things for me.

First thing first is CCP should get rid of all the boring non-roles that are currently filled by alts allowing people to get by easier with a single character. Then they should (I have no idea how) restrict players to only one character enabling us players to come up with complex ways of messing with our enemies.

Along with lost income from dual-training.
