Only one character per account can be online, so in most cases only a single character will regularly undock.
This allows countless opportunities for the evasion of repercussions within EVE.
I consider scout alts, scam alts, troll alts (etc) to be brutally overpowered as they allow you to mask your true affiliation and identity.
If someone scams you on an account that never undocks, you can never have your revenge.
Heck they can even biomass the character and make a new one for exactly the same purpose.
Think about what EVE would be like if you could only have one character per account. Everything anyone ever did or wrote would be on a character that undocks, so if you didn't like the, you could grief them at a later date (a common theme within EVE).
Would this make the game better or worse?
The only way this would work is if CCP reduced the sub cost. If thats not happening and they take away 2 characters from my account, my subscription just lost a ton of value. It's no longer worth the 15 bucks a month we pay. I cant think of any MMO that only allows you one character slot. It's just too limiting. ESPECIALLY a pay to play MMO.

Yea, one character slots are just a bad idea in general. For roleplayers is bad as they wanted to make a new character, they have to pay 14 bucks again.
For outlaws it's game breaking. Yes they can rely on others for logistical support. But guess what, not everyone plays the game 24 hours a day or plays on your timezone all the time. Sometimes you just need to do **** yourself.

Let's say CCP decided to eliminate alts. What would you do with people that had fully trained but dedicated alts?
Refund?
S.O.L.?
Delete?
I dont see an easy answer to this.
