Due to poor game mechanics (local, red stars and buddie lists primarily) an alt or another person not in war or buddies list is essential to probe out and kill an alert pilot.

I have 3 accounts and 8 alts. In the future I will have 100 accounts and 332 alts and make a 0.0 alliance and buy a titan.
That is why alts are useful.

But seriously. I play this game solo. In the beginning you could do that - it even said on the box I bought something like:
"get a group of friends and conquer the galaxy ... or go it alone"
But then they changed the game to Alliances Online and solo got the shaft.
I still play solo, I have 3 accounts, 1 main, 1 covert ops / prober / gang booster alt, 1 corp infiltration alt, and the rest are training up covert ops probers cause they are ESSENTIAL to high sec pvp if you want to get the money (faction mission runners).
It is very easy to play EvE in groups and corps alliances and you can do away with alts, but solo pvp, alts are very very essential.

Get with a good corp that truely employs teamwork and Alts are not needed.
Not everyone who plays MMORPG's wants to play with other people, some people want to play against others only.
MMORPG != Everyone playing together in harmony.
The problem with EvE is that CCP doesnt let the player choose, they try to force their one preferred playstyle, and in doing so ensure that the large number of people that do like to play against the playerbase rather then with it have to use alts; not to win, but to have even a slight chance of being competitive.
If CCP ever wise up in a commercial sense, they may find subscription numbers from those that like solo play outweigh numbers lost from current solo players who are using second accounts for alts.
Im using the term alt to include second, third... accounts if the account is purchased and used to provide support to a main account (spies, scouts, RR etc).
