Now this is just my opinion disagree if you like it wont hurt my feelings, But I think One of the Biggest and most important problems in EVE is alts.

Theres 2 types of alts, The ones for rich people (second accounts) and the ones for poor people (Second Characters)

Both Cause huge issues in EVE.

Second accounts are probably one of the bigger issues, it allows people with more money to gain an unfair advantage over other players, they have the ability by using multiiple accounts to bypass many game rules and alot of the game mechanics Example soloing in a carrier is not possible if you only have 1 account, if you can afford a Cyno alt you now have bypassed the intended design of the game (in my opinion that sounds like an exploit).

Another issue is with scamming, It seems every person in EVE has a Scaming alt now, if there were no alts there would be virtually now scamming in eve, you would scam someone and become instantly blackballed and eventually quit eve cause you wouldnt be able to do anything, but instead people just scam away and make more alts.

Wars and pvp are drastically effected by alts you can use an alt to move goods, you can use a alt to sit at a gate and provide intel you can use a alt as bait you can use multiple accounts and always have a wingman able to follow your exact orders and fill exact roles without the problems associated with team comunication. Basically you name it and alts have effected all of eve drastically and for the worst.

I dont know what can be done about multiple accounts, I doubt CCP would do anything about it cause they make assloads of money, But a Family feature could be added to EVE that could correct this and make eve alot more interesting.

Make an account , pick a first and last name , finish character creation, if you want another character you pick a first name last name carries over from the original so all of your alts will be linked by ancestory.

The only way to fix multiple accounts is to have ccp link multiple accounts if its to the same household in the same manner so once someone creats an eve account all other accounts and characters will always be under that same fictional last name.

all names wwouldnt have to change, just under your character description it would show a family name.

Anyways just an idea if a bit long winded :)
