Sorry, for the lack of formation, was typing half awake while drinking coffee. Usually I don-¦t post wot-¦s or at least try to avoid it.
@xxxTRUSTxxx
I guess my lack of formation lead you into some totally wrong understandings of my wot :D I by now way believe CCP will change anything with multiple accounts. |

I love to pvp and find it anything but boring, however it is not a great way to generate lots of ISK. So my first reason for having an alt, isn't so I can min-max or anything, it's simply so I can generate ISK through industry activities, while not training skills I don't need for combat on my main.
I also have a links/scout/exploration alt because that compliments my pvp needs and also allows me to run data/relic sites to feed datacores, etc. to my industry character.
If I had to classify it differently, it could be that I want to access a lot of content without having to train all the skills on a single character and lose focus on that, so I use 3 characters instead.
It's almost the exact opposite of boredom because I enjoy every aspect of the game that I utilise.
I was going to type a reply in full, ... but you nailed it, right there.

Without the intention to judge anyone at all I think it-¦s up to the player if he or she wants to "rely" on a another player or use an alt for it.

So at the end of the day and this post it is in the hands of the community to change the impact of multiple accounts and whatnot - if they want to change anything.
Great points. I'll admit I haven't taken the missed opportunity of building player relations into account when just doing stuff myself instead of asking around. I think for me a lot of this comes from an attitude of independence I have in RL. I tend to like to do anything and everything myself and not need to rely on others, but I can see how this means I'd miss chances to meet new people and make connections.
The other issue for me in eve is trust. I am a bit overly cautious and almost expect that anyone outside my corp wont honor any agreement that isn't set by game mechanics. This one interesting as I have no first hand eve experience of being betrayed. People making dumb mistakes sure, but no-one yet has directly awoxed me or anything. I think I spend too much time reading forums and eve news... I am amazed that those Russians didn't shoot you though. I probably would have.... maybe....

If I play a racing game, a strategy game, shooter, sports... anything, I don't try to play the game from two angles to maximize my winning. There is too much/enough for me to manage as one player.
Not Eve. "Align to", "Orbit", cap stable infinite reps or boosts or lazers. You can run one account doing a boring function that another player would never want do (hang outside the station and run this booster), while trying to get some action on another account.
So back to my question. When you play Eve, are the individual tasks you need accomplished so boring that you add a second account to play simultaneously? Or do you maybe add a second account because corpmates are unreliable?
EVE is essentially a largely non-consensual slow paced RTS space game where every client controls one unit.
People who want to win recognize that using one unit is a stupid idea, so they use more units. |

The less lore affects the game to more it starts to resemble reality. Don't know if that's good or bad but for sure it is boring. |

I have more than one account as I was an avid homeworld addict and really liked controlling an entire fleet of dozens of ships.
I suppose two ships better than one but not as good as dozens..
I dunno.
What was I talking about.

whether you play with one or ten accounts will ultimately depend upon your play style. I guess by now you understood that EVE has approx. a few thousand more different play style than the types of other games you brought up as an example, which is one of the things that makes EVE so unique. |
