There's all sorts of illegal botting and exploits that can be done with Trial characters, so the restrictions are CCP's attempts to deal with the situation.
It's against the forum rules to discuss such activities, so look at it this way: all the restrictions are potentially causing some newbies to turn away from the game, at a time where they're just picking up a trial to see if they like EVE (which is, basically, the worst time to annoy a new customer), so we're pretty sure that CCP would prefer not to have all these restrictions, but they're forced to. Because of certain players.
I dont see a situation where a newbie who just started the game, would need two trial accounts running at the same time, and that this would prevent them from enjoying or turning them away from the game. |

Not really. All trial accounts can use the Venture, which is the ship that is one of the most used mining ships for botters.
Imagine one person running 30 trial accounts all mining in ventures. |

High sec mining is already the least profitable thing in Eve. Why would anyone want to do the worst job using the worst ship when they could easily be PLEXing real accounts with real mining ships?
Because its a throwaway ship. Easiest to replace, lowest margin ship. Zero effort zero commitment ship.
As I said before, the Venture is one of the most frequently used ships for botting. This is a statistic from CCP itself. |

Every restriction a trial account has is something that a new player shouldn't be concerning themselves with anyway. T1 haulers iirc Not much else apart from that I think.
pretty sure T1 haulers are availeable to trial accounts. |
