3 characters, one account. You don't need multiple accounts to play EVE.
I consider multi character accounts alts as well 
*yes I have an alt but I will gladly let him wash away if they all vanished*
If this game is to truely by a player driven economy you must implement the limitations that come with being just one man.
Also I didn't make my little poem multi gender because there are no girls on the internet

If people are willing to pay for a second account, then they're entitled to have one.
And I'm saying that as a player who has only one account and will only ever HAVE one account.
But if using real world currency to your advantage in an mmo is frowned upon (buying credits), Is not having an alternate account the exact same thing?

I may have an advantage over other players, by owning more accounts..i work for them, and i pay ccp for them.....you can do the same or choose not to, up to you.
Regardless that you can afford to have multiple accounts ( I have a 2nd account as well but that is only to prevent me from getting left behind in this alt game of ours) I feel that the only advantage you should have over some other player in rl is the advantage of time and not money. Seeing as that is the golden principle that is always praised in games "That you should never have to pay cash to get better at a game but instead devote time"

Following your wisdom...people who play this game..from when it went gold..should be nerfed, because their skillpoints and the wealth they have gathered is an advantage over the new players ingame......im sorry life dont work that way...and a computergame, certainly does not.
Alts provide players the fullfillment of trying out everything in EVE, without being stuck or left behinde because your char is.
1: to specialized.
2: in the other end of the galxy.
3: sometimes you only have a limited time to play..so you want the best of your time.
If ou dont like it..i suggest you stop paying for your 2 account, quite frankly it seems a waste of money to pay for somthing you loathe.
I said that the only advantage you should have is time in which case the older players all have since that previously stated time has allowed them to get the sp and the isk they earned. And as for stop paying for something I don't like using its like going to work if you don't the bills don't get paid and you get evicted.

*gets on soapbox*
EVE is ALL about metagaming.
N00b Corp
spies/suicide gank/scouts/haulers/macros/farmers,
ISK sales,
GTC sales,
Charracter Sales,
multiple accounts,
GAH
This game could be sooo much more without all this metagaming crap.
Unfortunately, I don't see this happening as CCP appears to love it.
All I can do is try to mitigate it's impact on me.
When I get tired of it all, this will be the main reason I bail.
COPYPASTA! (I'm just saying that because I saw you post this in C&P a few days ago )

Time IS money...
Meh time is what you make of it and nothing more.
The beauty of eve is you don't have to grind to skill up in the game (unless your trying to get a capital skill book or something).
You have to understand that the affairs of alternate accounts have warped the player economy so much (and im not talking about the item market). The information,mining, and space trucking business can simply be bought for $15 a month instead of interacting with some one else like the game advocates. I don't even want to start talking about the character trade market
