As you pointed out, there is no need to "scout ahead" with an Omega account, or associated Alpha (as in my proposal).
I can have free Alphas within DSCAN of every gate in the game.

I can simply have free Alpha accounts situated at each gate.
I can have Alphas sitting on every gate in the entire game.
But you can only have one account logged in at any one time if any account is Alpha.
So 100 pilots at 100 different gates, you just need to log in and out of each one individually. Not very efficient, but sure, go ahead, so long as you stay within the rules.

Yes. You surrendered well, monkey.
Also, this is not included in EULA. Its in TOS. You failed, again.
Oh, well in that case, I guess my conflation of those documents means your plan is totally viable and not just a pointless bit of juvenile posturing, after all.

There is no rational reason why an Omega account should not be able to fly a free Alpha account alongside it.
Many have been presented in this thread, all have been refuted and debunked.
If you PAY for this game, there is no reason why you should also not be able to associate the FREE part of this game into that.
Pay means cost. Free means no cost. Free should be included in the paid cost.

Salvos Rhoska wrote:There is no cheating in creating hundreds of Alpha scouting alts. It is entirely legit and within the rules.
I can make an alpha scout for every single gate in this game. Hence, your argument of alphas as unfair scouts, is refuted.
There is no moral decrepitude in it either, especially not in EVE.
You also argued that Alphas cost CCP. Well, if that where so, then why do they allow the potential to create an infinite amount of Alphas.
The only moral decrepitude here, is in the responses to my suggestion, as vested in ulterior motives and offensive language which all ignore the actual point I was making (which was rational).
It does not make sense, that a paying account loses access to a free service. The issue of only being able to log one Alpha at a time, is commensurate with only being able to log paid Omegas simultaneously. However, since Alphas are free, it makes sense to allow each single Omega account to run a free alpha simultaneously. You can argue about the mechanics and exploitation of that, but it is a fiscal/equity fact nonetheless.
Ohh god this again. I remember when you rage quit last time, because no one could understand how "brilliant" your idea was with forcing elder players out of NPC corps. You have a disturbing habit of deflecting all critic as people ignoring your point. Since this is a reoccuring theme with you have you considered that you perhaps do not write exactly what you think you write?

I feel like you are looking at this from the wrong perspective.
What we have now is basically a completly different model from what we had before the clone states.
Before:
- Pay to get access to the server.
Now:
- Access to the server is free. - Pay for a premium service (including the option to multibox with several omega accounts).
So essentially an Omega get-¦s the same free server access that an alpha gets + the extras you pay for. |

Pay means cost. Free means no cost. Free should be included in the paid cost. Rather than look at the EULA/TOS itself we could look at the bit of logic that lead to creating that limit in the first place:
CCP didn't want floods of alphas to be the competitive norm. This applies to both the players with and without omega accounts. The method of limiting logins does the best job of accomplishing this short of simply disallowing multiple accounts.
As far as losing some free privilege, that's demonstrably false:
- An Alpha only account holder can create as many alpha accounts as they wish but may only log one account in at a time. - A single Omega account holder can create as many alpha accounts as they wish but may only log one account in at a time. - A multiple Omega account holder can create as many alpha accounts as they wish but may only log one account in at a time if using an alpha, or up to as many omega accounts as they have while excluding alphas.
Notice how paying in no way prevents you from using the free portion of the service. All you have to do is log out your omega. |

My point was mainly to show that no, the EULA/TOS limits here didn't emerge from a vacuum specifically for the point of robbing Omega account owners of their ability to use free accounts. It does serve a relevant purpose beyond that and that's of course on top of the fact that alphas work the same for alpha only and omega account owners. |

The word entitlement is used to describe OPs attitude, but i don't think it's that, or not just that. It's a greedy pushing for more free stuff that tries to rationalise itself with wordplay and definitions, resists all explanations and reason then devolves under pressure into childish declaration of intent to abuse. If trolling, well played, if serious, quickly at your first opportunity get yourself for a visit to some part of the world where water is scarce and dread is omnipresent. It might help you to stop worrying about silly things.

Thank you. This is a rational argument. However, so is mine.
I understand what you are saying and the logic.
As you point out, its a matter of perspective on the issue of what constitutes "free".
From mine, when you pay for the account, it is no longer free. Hence access to the server is not free for an Omega. It is paid. And since an Omega cannot fly an Alpha simultaneously, they lose that free access element.
Both perspectives/arguments are valid, depending on how you construe the services being free/paid. Discussion on this is just forum debate. I sont expect or demand CCP to change any of this (atleast not in the immediate future)
As I said, Im not going to crusade on this issue. Im just pointing out my view on this, in a related thread.

Except he is entitled and there is no problem. Canceling his sub to train a second character to Alpha is stupid.

well dude, i understood his 'problem', my issue was, why is it a 'problem'?
if the current SP of his 2nd character is less than the Alpha clone, cause probably an old 1, then delete that 2nd character and make a new one, tada, SP level same as Alpha clone.
or
use an MCT

I recommend he creates an Alpha account on a Recruit code, and subs it.
That way he can use the reward Time/PLEX to multitrain his 3rd character on the main account.
As well as flying both his main and secondary account simultaneously as Omega.
His secondary Omega account will also get a month of training +250kSP, which is a good basis for starting the framework of a 2nd account.
So for one Sub/PLEX, you get a free Sub/PLEX + 250K SP + ability to tly two Omegas simultaneously.

If he's actually not playing the Omega currently... or has multiple accounts and can "afford" for this to lapse, it's actually not that horrid of an idea, I guess.
You save some cash, but pay with time (logging in to set new 24 hr queue, and slower training time.)
Not something I would do personally, but there could be a niche, but rational, reason to do so.

But the omegas can still have an alpha account and play it like the other alphas for free. That they can't log in their omega at the same time does not mean it is not free for an omega (You will pay nothing for the alpha clone). I don't understand why you want to couple having an omega clone online at the same time to if it is free or not? You can still find something to do with an alpha that would warrant logging off your omega account and use the extra character slots for free instead of paying for a second account. Hence you did not loose acces to that free element

You do understand Alpha clones are heavily restricted in what skills they can train and how much? Chances are if you want to train one of your Omega characters, making it an Alpha will change nothing besides not allowing you to use non-Alpha skills.
Most Alpha-skills are so basic you'd need a totally new character to profit from Alpha-training. And then you can just make a new account anyway, problem solved. |
