Then he'll "buy" it for free from his 2nd account and would be able to use it.

Yeah this. Another thing that makes alts is the encouragement. If the game encourages something, it will be done even through most hideous cheating. It's a big fail in development to have the features and mechanics say "do this" but have the rules that say "don't do it".

I don't know, if it is possible to prevent creation of another account, but you can make it a little bit longer process:
- Email activation (1 email = 1 account)
- MAC-address check
- IP-address check
There must be better ways too, but these came to my mind first. Several checks that doesn't frustrate the "one account users".

Wishful thinking. Using alts will always result in more efficient gameplay unless you delete all features available.

Creating multiple email accounts was never a big deal. IP address check is weak (see proxy users, dynamic IP users, or people that play from 1 IP address). MAC-address is easy to change too.

Not a big dealio. Alts exist in every mmo out there because people want to try something differend. All that's needed is that an individual player can center his gameplay around one char and do fine in all aspects of gameplay (tc, pvp, crafting, exploring etc) without being tempted to create an alt.

Yeah, like I said that I don't know, if there is a way to prevent it completely. These were just examples of ways to make it more frustrating and longer process to create an alt (which is a small improvement). Feel free to suggest better ways, if you think the idea of the system is good. :)
