Most if not all tasks that you would use an Alt for can be completed much more enjoyably for all parties using some apt social skills. As for PLEX, in my case much easier to acquire a PLEX using rl finances vs those in eve, so PLEXing would remove some of the much-loved risk from the game for me.
WHO STANDS WITH ME?
I'm kind of the same stick in the mud, I joined a corp to work together as a team, I am carrier ready and corpies have asked me to light cynos so I also will ask the same of them, the day there's no one available to help out will be the day I move on. I am currently approaching 40m sp and yes it's been a pain in the arris getting him to skill up so many different things, the sense of achievement when you get there is so much sweeter....I can't be doing with alts and the only reason I forsee needing one is to skill up to fly a cloaky hauler and be a cyno biatch...

Just wondering if anyone plays Eve on just their main with 1 account and no additional alt support? I used to have two accounts, but never really used the alt for anything. So to answer your question, yes. I do only have one active account and only use one character. I don't need alts to do various other tasks like mining and industry because I don't do those tasks at all.

Just wondering if anyone plays Eve on just their main with 1 account and no additional alt support? I do.... Just have the one character. Live in Null. Not saying at some point I may not have an alt...... But, as it stands this minute. yes... Yes I do. A true outlaw finds the balance between the passion in his heart, and the reason in his mind...-á The outcome is the balance of might and right. |

1 account, 1 toon.
For some reason I've got it stuck in my head that using alts is cheating. I guess using different toons is fine since it's commonplace in many other MMO's, but alt accounts just seem downright damaging to the game. |

I've only recently made a second character with a minimum set of probe skills so I can probe down the exits to my WH in the event I get trapped outside.
I can't imagine playing more than one account. It sounds like an awfully lot of trouble. |

I'm down to one account from two, one character for EVE and this one for EVE-O Forums. Although I'll probably roll a hauler/market alt using dual-training once Odyssey hits. CCP has no sense of humour. |

Running more than one account is too much like work and overkill for me. Cyno alts are nice but if you're a patient dude a friend will always take a few bucks to get ya where you're going.
Gotta laugh at the people who think you need more than one account to play outside of high sec. 4 years and counting here homos. |

Very noble, I am sure if you ever fly a capital ship you will enjoy spending hours asking for someone else to light you a cyno so you can move it from the system it is currently in.
Seeing as I am one of the Princes of the Universe (Queen did a song about us it is p.good) I have many Space Peons to light my cynos so I do not need to wait and ask I merely command it. |

I have 2 alts on this account, but I never use them. One sits in a wormhole somewhere and the other is a character I let my girlfriend make to get her interested in EVE. Did work pretty well, too until the part where the character creation was finished. |

Been playing since 2009 with one account. I do have another toon on that account, but that's it for me. I don't know why folks would want to pay for EVE 2x or more /month or /year. I am very happy with my one toon and the help I need I get from corp members. The purpose of a corp and alliance is to help eachother out. If you have to buy 5 accounts to move your stuff around, you're either one impatient person or you play with other EVE players who don't get the point of an MMO.
I have never understood the point of one-man corporations staffed with a single player's accounts. What a waste of MMO and it might as well change genre to MSO (Massive Single-Player Online) instead of MMO. The best part of this game is the multiplayer aspect of it. Alts are a thing of convenience (or necessity if you can't find folks to play with) for those who like to pay CCP lots of money or spend countless hours in the game trading/mining etc...
Either way, that's not for me. I like the MMO in MMO.

1 Account. 1 Character here. I don't plan to be mass manipulating markets, requiring my own hauler 24/7 or needing anything that requires a cyno alt. Been playing for just over 6 months and having a fun time thanks.

Tried making an alt but couldn't justify the extra plex cost.
I do on the other hand intend to make two specialized alts when we get dual training, one for hauling and one for cheap pvp. |

Paid for 9 accounts with real money for years. Sometime after the company turned hostile I switched to plex. I understand they actually make more money off plex than subs, so I only plex one account. I've found that my over all quality of life has improved during the time I've only used 1 account to occasionally PVE. Traded the excitement of PVP for real life and I still get to fly interent spaceships when there's nothing else to do.

At this point in time, I think if you expect to survive in eve you should at least have a minimum of two accounts.
in my case I do, I am an avid pvper and pve, but as you can see i am in a 100percent PVP alliance and with the exception of legio and engarde, this has always been the case.
i cant jumpclone/deathclone my main to low/highsec just to rat or yadda yadda, I like my main to be down i null with the rest of hte guys fighting duders, so my other account handles everything else on the pve side. because I have two accounts, i literally utilze every aspect of eve , without that second account I would have a hard time playing eve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNReV76PtqM |
