Why powerbuilds + alts are so popular?

Limited? You can get everything from other players, besides it's completely possible to make fighter crafter. The problem is just the high potential of chars forces players to arms race because character build has so high role in pvp.
Way to stop alting would be to lower the potential to be good at one thing and raise the floor to suck at something (who wants to play a char with 3ap?).
Then make it so that it's more productive to play one char long time rather than many chars short time. And I don't mean higher level cap, but for example reputation. The more you do, the more you get rep. Rep unlocks nice stuff which you cannot get otherwise for that character only.

You can buy the weapons from other players, this is multiplayer game after all. It's just that we don't have a nice player-player trade system. And what's stopping you from being crafter-fighter? It's just that we don't have a nice player-player trade system. And what the hell? Gunrunners, Jacob in hub and san fran shopkeepers all sell lsw, plasma rifles, rocket launchers and miniguns.

Only if they are online at same time as you, or is someone you can trust. Trust is rare in wasteland. My real life friends don't play this game either.
Also I can no longer talk to gunrunners because there was dialogue option to insult shopkeeper and then you can NEVER talk to him again (stupid idea but hey)

So? Can't you see that there's perhaps something wrong with that trade doesnt work because players don't meet? Maybe the game lacks a better player to player trade system. Such system is must for all mmo games where items play important role.
You're free to give feedback and speculate the current game matters instead of just adapting to the present ways no matter what. It's beta stage, feedback is extremely important.

Scrapping skill points system could work(its good only for single player). You would no longer get skill points per character level, your skills would increase while using them / performing various actions. Of course tagged skills would not have a limit and could be trained easier, and for non tagged skills you would recive exp penalty, but everybody should be still able to reach a maximum of 150% in non-tagged skills as a reward for weeks/months/years of playing Fonline with ONE character.
Just like avv said. Make the game profit and encourage playing with just one character a long time rather than many characters for short periods of time.

I made a guy who fights melee so no perception needed. Hes did good fighting critters at lvl 2 onwards, and is doing ok at lvl 5 I think he's five. He's a brute and can kill higer level people easily.
I make my money quite easy as well, not millions at this low level but I manage simply and safely. For me the game isnt about being the best all the time, like nerds nowadays seem to throve to be. I manage and enjoy myself.
If you want to be best, go outside and do shit. You ll never be anything staring at a monitor.
