Ban the alts. Just imagine, cap ships would finally need to be a multiplayer affair (no more cyno alts). People wouldn't be able to leave an out of corp alt on gates to scout them in high sec. No more RR alts that people carry around with them to repair their ship, they would either have to get someone else to do it for them or go it alone.

So many things in this game would change for the better. And for the record, yes, this is my main, my only character, and I have never, nor will I ever, use an alt or a second account.

Good luck with that.

Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

This is not a good idea... for more reasons than I care to list.

that has to be the dumbest troll ever.

if everyone that had an alt account cancelled it CCP would go bankrupt in no time.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Yes, keep bringing the tears from the people who rely on a multitude of accounts in order to play this game.

FYP.

Also, "I wouldn't be able to use an alt to light cynos for my big shiny cap ship any more, I would need to... I would need to play a MULTIPLAYER GAME! The horror!" doesn't count.

OP has a bit of a point. The fact that there are game activities which are so boring or laborious as to require alts is a huge problem from a game design standpoint.

On the other hand, alts make ccp a shitload of money, so don't expect them to ever go away.

May as well just ban Carriers, Supercaps, Jump Freighters, and Titans while you are at it.

A dislike button for these forums. That way when a post reaches a "crappy post threshold" the poster gets a 10 day forum ban.

Seriously, for the people who think I'm actually trolling, grow up. This is an issue that has been brought up before which would dramatically improve this game.

The simple fact that people require alts to play this game is an indication of the failure of the design of the basic mechanics in the first place, but banning the alts would at least make the game much more fun.

Fix this game? Is there really something broken? There is little bugs that need fixing but if you have such problems with alts it is your problem not broken game.

As I said, good luck with that.

Sure, OP, ban the alts. How long would it be before you'd be here on the forums starting posts that EVE is dying, or perhaps maybe you whining that you don't have any more easy kills because a majority of your kills were killing peoples' alts. Blink

solo PvP in Eve is already pretty much dead and broken, so this is kind of a moot point...

In actuality, it was a pretty genius business decision by CCP to make it so people would want alts. Look all the extra income they get from them. Lol It's not a failure of game design at all.

Right, I'm sure you could say a lot about many of EA's decisions in their games also, it doesn't mean it makes the games any better, in fact for many of them it makes them much worse...
