It lets me feel even more haughty and superior than I already do.
It's not even about balls it's about common sense. Some people just prefer to keep their characters seperate because what happens out of game should have no consequence ingame. Because out of game conflicts can lead to ingame harassment which would be against the EULA. |

The only legitimate reason I can see anyone using a forum alt is if it's for the sole purpose of RP.
But I don't care if other people post with their alts, that way I can always accuse them of being cowards if they start acting like asses.
But as a counter-argument, why do some people use their forum alts?
You used to use forums alts? Are you just trolling?
If you used forum alts in the past then you should ask yourself why you used to use them. Better still why did you stop using them, listened to too many people on the forum prehaps?

Argument? There is no argument, it's up to personal preference if people post with their main or alt.
What happens outside of the game should not manifest itself ingame, which makes both methods ok. Of course if posting with a main and the main is fairly vocal on the forums the greater the risk you take that it will bleed into the game.
So short version, alts or main are fine, so stop whinging about it. |

I originally used it because I had spare character slots that I weren't using when I first started the game. And yeah, probably the only thing that makes sense on the forums are the arguments for not using an alt. I generally don't care when people post with their alts but there really isn't any reason why you should.
I said in another post that the choice of using your main or alt comes down to personal preference. There is a risk using a main especially if you are a bit out spoken.
There's no reason why they should not post with an alt either. And as you don't care then I'm sure you would agree with that too. |

Well that's your choice and I'm glad to see you're exercising your right to choose. |

White-knighting? What kind of crap is that?
For me I just prefer freedom of choice, which of course means not taking much notice of the grow a pair bs that we hear on the forums.
There is no accountability on the forums if you stick to the forum rules, the only ones that can hold you to account are CCP staff and that is how it should be.
If the forums annoy you so much don't read them.
For you I'd not say man up, more like grow up. |

Whether it's a war that has smacktalk in the forums or an argument in the forums that results in war being declared in game (or mercs for a suicide gank).
We do want players to be able to take action (within the rules) against each other for acts committed in game or in some cases in the forums.
If this is an actual quote and I have no reason to think you would alter a GMs post to suit your view. Then that's totally irresponsible of GM Nythanos.
Forums are not normally considered an extension of the game and should not be considered an extension of the game as conflicts that arise on forums as normally personal conflicts and are viewed differently by those in conflict to conflicts in-game.
So it's no wonder people use alts especially on these forums if that is/was CCPs view, encouraging anti-social behaviour out of game is not what CCP should be doing, and it is out of game even if GM Nythanos seems to think/thought the forums are an extension of the game. |

Hiding something has only two reasons:
1) you are ashamed of yourself
2) someone else is controlling you
Deal with it.
Whether or not this has anything at all to do with highest SP characters is obviously questionable, but I had to grow my epeen with this manly post.
o/
Decency and honour has nothing to do with posting on the forums with an alt or main and in a lot of cases people that use both.
If you think it has something to do with decency and honour then you're just deluding yourself. |
