Account sharing is against the EULA for a reason, and it is not sharing it with your kids. Same client, same IP, Same family, not some stranger who is potentially going to steal your account or do something that results in you being banned.
People who share their accounts with their kids are fine in my book, and I don't see a problem with it. Picking on that is completely inane.
Whatever the OP's honesty, this thread doesn't have to be trolled, simply because it looks like 'fair game'.
I'm sure CCP would have no more problem with the idea of sharing your account with your kids than me, and if you read the EULA, I'm pretty it tells you why Account sharings is a bannable offense. It's a security risk, and potentially a way for RMT's to farm ISK with one account and multiple computers in different locations.
For the sake of argument, this is a parent with kids. Would you say no, if your child asked you if he or she could play? If you do, you're either a shmuck, or a concerned parent. If you're a concerned parent, turn the computer off, and go spend some time with your kid(s).
wtf
CCP doesn't have a problem with that, but it will hold the owner responsible for everything that happens on that account, so if you want to be safe, don't share your account with anyone. It's pretty clear the OP is full of **** though, so I'm not sure why that would matter in this case.
For the sake of argument I think you should let the kid have a trial account and if he likes the game, pay for his own account. There is no need to share accounts, especially since you can only train a single character at a time, so account sharing doesn't work that well in any case. If you can't afford another payed account, let him play a F2P game. It's not like there isn't any lack of free MMOs in the world. If a character is actively online doing things 23.5/7, it's a macro or a sweatshop, and I'm pretty sure there are ways to determine pretty conclusively which one it is and it was likely done already. We are just seeing a macro user/troll trying desperately to come up with an excuse for his behavior and no one is taking his explanations seriously.
Either way this is something that belongs in a petition. By trying to get a mob going against CCP the OP made himself a free target for ridicule.
