regretfully gentle	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:24:00 - [1] Edited by: regretfully gentle on 21/08/2008 09:23:59 ONE PERSON, ONE TOON! (Multiple personalities count as one person) I am a strong advocate of each person only controling one toon! I don't think that alts should be permitted. I don't think that multiple clients on a single computer should be permitted. I dont think that multiple accounts per credit card / Address / email should be permitted. (Though this will reduce CCP's revenue by about half) The reason for this movement? When you wake up do you have one of you to stay in bed and satisfy that glory? One of you to get up and put the kettle on? One of you to nip to the shop for some milk? IS LIFE THAT CONVENIENT? No. It isn't. Not even close. SHOULD EVE BE THAT CONVENIENT? No. In my opinion it shouldn't. Not even close. Should you therefore be able to run multiple clients, control several alts simultaneously, carrying out several functions at the same time without any other human involvement other than yourself? I say NO. Enough! Stop!Pah! Meh! Pffft. Shhh. All those people who agree with me say "Iye!" All those who disagree with me say "Nay!" Please post your support for the ridding of all alts... permanently! Kind and sincerest regards, regretfully gentle.

Cailais Amarr VITOC	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:31:00 - [4] Isnt there like a remarkably similar topic by the OP on this very page? Im not sure we needed another post about it tbh. C.
Joss Sparq Caldari ANZAC ALLIANCE Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:34:00 - [5] Originally by: regretfully gentle (Multiple personalities count as one person) We find your discrimination against our condition to be regrettable.

Promethian child Amarr VITOC	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:41:00 - [7] Your stuf ?? (just contract it to Jita 4-4 that would do fine )
Sergeant Spot Black Eclipse Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:41:00 - [8] To the OP: You are about 5 years to late, and even if you posted 5 years ago, its unenforcable. Heck, my corp basicly REQUIRES members to be able to multi client (so they can scout for themselves).
Roy Batty68 Caldari Immortal Dead	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:48:00 - [9] No... :::::::::: JOIN ME! ::::::::::: and be realistic. You see, I agree that the game would be more entertaining if it were somehow restricted to one character logged at a time per person. But it's just not realistic. People will find a way to gain advantages. Especially in a game like Eve. So doing the salmon thing and trying to swim against the flow is just a waste of time. Accept that alts are an inevitable factor and work with it. It's all you can do.
LordSwift INTERSTELLAR ENTERPRISE	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:48:00 - [10] "Iye" i agree with you about one person controlling on character. Mainly because it can be abused, but then again it is incouraged by mmo games. (Revenue of course). I personally only use this toon, i cross trained to manufacture, research, fly Hacs, Battleships (Amarr and caldari), and soon to be maruders. Yes it has taken me a long time and i will not be very good at one particular thing. in the long run it will benefit me i think. i find it to much hassle myself to use multiple characters. i have tried it and sent them to the meat grinder two weeks later. It is being abused but i dont think its going to be stopped anytime soon. Alts bring more money into ccp, which keeps the game running and free (Expensive) Expansions coming to us. Cant complain really can we. Even if i dont like people having like 6 alts, myself.
Rawr Cristina Caldari Omerta Syndicate	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:57:00 - [11] me and my alt agree viva la resistance!
Larg Kellein Caldari Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:57:00 - [12] Originally by: regretfully gentle Edited by: regretfully gentle on 21/08/2008 09:23:59 I don't think Pointed out your problem for you. Comparing EVE convenience with RL convenience is unconvincing. As is the idea that CCP would dissuade people from buying multiple copies of their product. And besides, what's supposed to stop me running one account on each of several computers?
Venkul Mul Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.21 09:58:00 - [13] Edited by: Venkul Mul on 21/08/2008 10:01:15 Originally by: regretfully gentle I don't think Got it. Edit: Larg Kellein was faster.

Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.08.21 10:27:00 - [15] I don't have an alt because I can't be bothered to buy another account. And having 2 chars on one account is pointless since you can't have them both training at the same time. Safe to say, I'm a one-body man right now with a skillset so scatterbrained that theres no specialisation whatsoever, but I can do many things. Just not very well.
Marie Trudeau Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.21 10:36:00 - [16] EVE is practically designed with multiboxing in mind. Scouts, lab alts, market alts, hauler alts, etc. It's a part of the game. CCP surely supports it -- it makes them money, for God's sake. Gosh, the things people come up with ....

Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.21 10:44:00 - [18] i have an alt controlled by my other personality.

And in my opinion, designing things with that in mind is a bad way to go. Everything a character with an alt can achieve, should be viable to others too. Otherwise, we get "money=success" and that's not good.
JOSEPHx Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2008.08.21 11:07:00 - [27] If someone in your gang said "my alt is following the enemy gang and will give you a list of shiptypes" i assume you would just ignore that information? What if someone in your gang or corp was a valuable asset but was an alt of another player? -

What if someone in your gang or corp was a valuable asset but was an alt of another player? - I wouldn't like it as much as i would like for an actual member to do the intel, not an alt of the same corporations person. Alts are fine, if they are not used for gaining a advance to your other characters. I'm not saying "kill all alts!", it's in the game, that's how the game is, fine, but i would prefer it not to be like that, if i had my say.

Are you saying that its unfair that my main can sit in a pos running 7 warfare links while I (being wil smithx, aka the alt) run around slaying stuff? Not that I actuly do this Edit: sigh wrong character because of my pyramd earlier...
