WOW! What a firestorm! Reading this has so many people fired up! All I can I say is WOW! that, and I have four accounts. Yup. I do. I admit it.
I mine with them.
all of them.
I don't split the isk among them.
It all goes to my main.
But as mentioned earlier, the others do incur expenses.
I fund one's research budget (and by that I mean skills, research materials, and what not.)
the other's industrial budget.
and fourth's military budget.
I am quite fond of all four of my characters and can use them simultaneously in the game. My corp mates refer to me as the collective hive mind of DuBastyra. Does it give me an advantage? Of course it does, the same way another player may have advantage over me by "Purchasing" T2 equipment and rigging for distance over short range combat. Yes, they are using the game but it is still an advantage.
All this hype about multi-accounts not being fair is hilarious. Where in the Holy Scriptures (the EULA) does it say all players may have only one account? I don't think it does--especially when it's CCP who promotes programs like the P^2. However, through your argument, you have decided to impose YOUR version of fairness. You are using a word that is highly subjective. I think it is fair that I can use multi-accounts because it does not violate the EULA. Did you not realize this when you joined the game? Ah, but that is not your true argument. Your true argument is that it is unfair because you cannot steal from everyone because someone just might have a hauler-alt near by that can spoil your theft. You are calling foul because you can't grief another player.
I don't see the validity of your argument when I, an 8-hour a day worker, has only 2 hours to play in the evening provided my family does not need me for anything else. How presumptuous of you to think that any aspect of any game is fair. Even chess can be argued as unfair (two bishops! That's ludicrous.) Though you may argue no, it is fair because everyone has the same pieces but you are making a grievous oversight: when you sat down to play the game, you said ok to the fact that both teams have the pieces that they do. In other words, you said yes to the rules as they stand. So did you say yes to the rules as they stand here in EVE when you signed on. Your argument is based on the notion that everyone who plays EVE is playing the game at the same length of time. I wish that were the case but some of us have to work for a living--oh and some of us like to see the outdoors once in a while.
Now, you'll have to excuse me. I need to get my credit card. I need it, you see, to start a fifth account!
