Well, unexpected ... I have to think about how to abuse the hell out of it, stay tuned.
A more general concern ... the game will be flooded with new players making us, the paying subscribers, a minority ... will you be able to resist adjusting the game more and more towards the new majority of F2P folks?

But I think (I may be wrong) that you can manipulate your ip address if you want. So CCP just effectively threw in the towel on botting - a botter gets banned - he just keeps making new accounts - since there is no cost or punishment to him there is no disincentive to botting.
Yeah, that's a valid point. With unlimited free alts, there is almost no chance of enforcing any EULA rule on a particular player. Make a throwaway account with throwaway email address and fake data, go to rookie system, gank players, get banned, make new account, go to ...

After some thoughts, the only really important additional measure (besides voting and gift restrictions of course), which tackles most of the proposed abuse cases IMO is:
- enforce trial account rules, if an alpha account is logged in no other account is allowed. It's a banable offense.
If you allow more than one simultaneous account mixed with Alpha, every player is forced to multi-box. There would be no valid excuse anymore to ever again undock without a personal scout, prober, ecm ship, add. drone provider, tackler, dps fleet buddy. The force multiplier of a second login for free is just too strong.
It will still be a big game changer because you could then own an unlimited number of free and clean scam, scout, spy and sitter alts, but I hope this will not break too much.

People use multiple PCs (physical or virtual). They need to do more (if possible) ... the "it is possible with trials today argument" is void here, because Alphas don't expire and are much more valuable to rectify the effort.
