One thing I didn't like about SWTOR was how much it waved "Sub now and we'll get these annoying messages out of your face!"
As for the farming and botting problem, let's just say I've seen what happens when you have a lot of passive systems in an F2P EVE-like before. I don't play that game any more, either. Making tech 1 ammo, ships, and mods with "casual friend" accounts will be a thing. It doesn't cost anything but a few steps to anonymize. In that game, infrastructure in whole star systems had been wiped out by admin action for being run by bot and other illicit multiple account player activity.
Personal experience says the correct response to this change is to run away screaming and not look back.

I know, they don't want it to be that kind of game. That just means it's another sacred cow to slaughter.

Dread Red wrote:Sadly as a former CSM member, and a damn fine one, you probably know all too well more often than not CCP doesn't care about making things better for Alphas or even the majority of their paying subscribers, who are in high sec. CCP wants to implement it's vision of how it's game should be played and needs to be dragged kicking and screaming from anything that varies from their fore drawn conclusions.
That's because "most" people want to grind away in peace and do arena style combat. "Most" people want to get rid of piracy.
"The majority"of people would be better served by another game-one where "terribly wrong" doesn't mean you're out of months or years worth of material. There's no shortage of them. Or they could always go on Sisi, where we aren't allowed to kill each other. "The majority" of people couldn't care less which game they were playing as long as it's like every other themepark: do scripted content, get cookie, repeat until bored, leave. If "the majority" of people manage to get piracy nerfed into the ground, they'll begin to realize this game is incredibly boring and start to wander off, wondering what was so special about this game anyway. De-fang the universe, and the game that's left isn't very interesting at all. "The majority" aren't smart enough to realize this is exactly the game they asked for.
It's happened before.

I think I found a way to break it really good:
Lots if Intel Compute Sticks. Those aren't very cheap in large quantities, or very powerful, but they are fully functional x86-64 computers. They can wi-fi, or they might stream over USB. Instead of VM windows, you'd have remote desktop sessions. They should be powerful enough to run a few frames per second, which is enough for mining or watching local. Because these actually are separate computers, they almost certainly wouldn't trip any current anti-multiboxing measure.

I will answer. Ccp needs to make money.
This is designed to attract new players not for vets to unsub alt accounts.
@ccp - hope you know that if there is no limit to alpha log ins you will have a lot of accounts unsub. You will amywAy but it will be worse if no limit is in place. I have spoken to many guys who are talking just going alpha even on mains.
Guess we will see
Why on earth would they do that? Unsub their mains that is. The same reason I refused to undock for half of the daily event.
I had decided the idea was that bad.

"Gone" won't quite mean what it used to. There was one guy in a certain other game who used to be on the top of what passed for killboards. One day, someone stepped on a third rail in the off-topic forum. He got squelched for something, think it had to do with stepping on a locally sensitive political topic.
He then went to another forum with his alts and tried to get the devs to pardon his main. He was gone, and so were all his alts. Well, not quite. The next day, there was a day-one newbie doing exactly the same thing in exactly the same forum, with exactly the same posting style. It was obvious the character wasn't being used to play the game, because in-game channels could look. Soapboxing all day about politics tends to make you a few "fans" with people who don't like what you have to say. Leaving that guy there cost the community of that game a few people. If we have to give CCP payment information to play the game, "banned" has a lot more teeth to it. If we don't, well... can't say you didn't know.
