Once their sec status gets too low I stop logging them in and make new ones Firstly, recycling characters to avoid the consequences of negative security status is a TOS breach. Secondly, actual gankers do not care about their security status.
On the topic of increased suicide ganking, lets look at some logical consequences of Alpha clones in that regard:
The goal is to attract a number of new players to Eve. Presumably the distribution of their chosen activities will mirror the current population. This means the raw number of suicide gankers will go up. Likewise, the number of people doing silly things to make themselves a gank target will also go up.
If you do NOT see an increase in suicide ganking rates, it means something is wrong.

How many gifted programmers are there that play eve? How hard would it be to create a mutiboxer that uses separate IPs with forged mac addresses for alpha accounts? Very active steps will need to be taken to prevent abuse, which would potentially have an impact upon connectivity and stability, I would guess.
We have a lot of them. And guess what - they can do this today with trial accounts that make better gankers than the alphas will.
What prevents them from doing it? They are also smart enough to realize the fact that you can pause your que for a couple of weeks and make an infinitely more useful, permanent, t2 gank character on an existing omega account. Or get a month of multiple character training. Setting all that up is literally not worth the effort, let alone the consequences if you mess up and get caught. |

Would it be a thing for carebears to take up ganking for a while to make things safe in the long run or am I just too twisted? That depends entirely on your definition of Carebear. A significant portion of CODE. is alts of industrialists, who understand that BOOM makes the market go round.
If, on the other hand, you mean those paranoid of completing the "Loss of a ship" opportunity, I doubt it. They either have too strong feelings of how dirty and dishonorable it is, or lack the motivation. For the ones who try, it will be a good experience. Especially if they continue with the same character once they have to deal with -10 sec status. They will learn many valuable lessons in the process. |

Basically they will have two choices...buy a catalyst for 30 million or go out of newb system and get ganked. :) nice gameplay for them i tell you.
Good luck with that. All the more reason for them to leave highsec and join an organization that nurtures new players and provides them with free ships. |
