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...

Oddly some of us enjoy playing the mass multiplayer online game with

Which is what I am encouraging in this thread.

I was trying to be at least somewhat polite, but what I was trying to say is your english sucks and it's hard to understand. Try learning english first before you insult someone in it...


insult? no, i was not insulting you , i was clearing out facts. It is sad if facts insult you.

Alts are a good thing, they are healthy for the game and enrich the game.

Not only can different characters have different skill sets and jobs within an operation. Then it increases the independence of the individual player. Having cyno alts is amazing because it allows the JF pilot to run logistics pretty much solo, which is a good thing. I would loath having to sit in a system day in and day out waiting for the next supply run, and then get yelled at when I wasn't there to help out.

As far as the whole of the communities opinion on the matter...

I believe that playing with alts enriches the games culture and helps make mundane tasks much better. The voices of the community seem to speak in an overwhelming majority to the fact that banning alts is not only difficult to do, but an impracticle choice on the part of CCP. It would be the end of Eve.

Bad idea is made worse by your arguments.

Play the game how you want to play it, and I'll play it my way. This is a sandbox after all.

TLDR - OP has an idea, but no plan.

What do you tell the finance department at CCP to even start at making it a viable idea? This is a company that pays lips service to botting enforcement and your grand scheme is to instead go after legitimate paying and playing accounts?

Where do you begin? How do you track and enforce it? What incentive do you plan to throw the players who have multiple accounts, combine all the SP and isk in to one supertoon? What about standings, implants, equipment, contracts,etc...

Hardware tracking? No so easy. Not only do you have things like VMware but the problem with more modern operating systems is that the different sessions operate individually. In Windows 7 for example (which runs in session 0) you could run one client as user A (in session 1) while you run another session as user B (in session 2), you just need to hold shift and right click on the EXE to give it different credentials). The ability to check and report against that would violate computer privacy laws in many countries.
