Why powerbuilds + alts are so popular?

What cheating? Exp diminishing was removed, you can be 21 with any build in a week or two without sitting at your computer for 15 hours per day. What else do you need to make your powerbuild?
It is just "take 10mm pistol and ammo and go kill scorps" now. Or centaurs with BG. Or whatever you like. Monotonous, but very fast.

by catch up i doubt he meant experiance points/levels. Alting lets you get your stuff faster easier more effectively and most important.. Independently from other players. While normal people have to actually put efford in getting stuff they desire, our jack of all trades alter will first login his protected miners to dig some minerals. then he will safetly taxi them to his craft that will make them into anything he wants. And everything that without cooperating with other players(unless he's a member of faction, so he has friends to protect him while he's getting HQ components

Actually alting is incredibly slow because you logout with one char have to wait 10 mins, log in with next do your stuff, then log out another 10 mins to change. So its actually quicker to just use one character for must stuff.
Only real advantage is dual loggers who cheat, or for crafting different items then a seperate pvp char.

It's just 20 minutes, we're talking about weeks here. When you go kill someone, or craft 20 plasma rifles it doesn't matter if it took you 20 mins to switch to that char. It only matters what you're doing on the present moment and what will be the outcome after that.
One char cannot be doctor, armorsmith, weaponsmith, fighter and barter dude. It shouldn't be surprising that alts are a major problem of this game.
geraioptuaer:
Well I don't think they are problem, without alts I think game would be too limited. Anyway i'm pretty sure there's no way to stop alting as it is.
Something like oh you can be really good at using big guns but you cannot make weapons... At least in other mmos the merchant will always have a gun you want with plenty of ammo.
