Remember, sharing your username and password is a EULA violation.
What is this ? I pay for the account, this account is mine to do as i wish, you might own the chars but the account should be mine. I would like this explained to me more why you (CCP) think this is legit and in anyway could stand up in court.
It is not right that I can not have someone log in for me to change skills or set up a ship, it is not right of you to tell me I can not do the same for someone else. I can understand you not allowing someone else to play someones char but there needs to be lines drawn and not the way you have gone.
Since playing this game its really gone downhill in a lot of areas, the forums are so guarded now compared to where they were when eve was released, you just can't speak you mind.that was a big gripe for me and still is, but this added into the ELUA is not right in any shape or form IMHO and I would like this explained as a paying member of this community.

When you pay for software you generally don't own it, you just pay for the privilege of using it according to certain rules, such as the EULA etc. This is really true for all software like Windows, Outlook and so on, not only EVE. I'm not a legal expert, but it's more like renting than owning and the EULA states what you're allowed to do with the rented product. You're basically paying for one person to use one account and no one else.
A lot of cases where stuff or even the whole account has been stolen has started with account sharing. I saw some example where someone used an internet friend yopu've known for 2 weeks as an example, but don't think your childhood friend that you've known for most of your life and lives in the same town as you wouldn't do it, we've seen plenty of those cases too.
