Because many players eabt the best stuff as fast as possible, want to create "teh bestest" powerbuild as possible and so on - instead of dont using those damn alts for ever purpose and to cooperate. Alts and stuff will always be the cancer of this game. :)

And I dont know how you play the game, but I never have to wait for something.

My dear GM-abuzer-friend, how do you imagine to manage more than one base terminal with one char? I'm asking this quite often and still didn't get the answer.
But OK, terminal is only one feature, you don't use it every hour (well ...), if you like to play solo, bases and terminals aren't your business, and (last but not least) this will be reworked after wipe (I hope). It's also true that after making cooldowns stackable you don't have to sit near the rock pile and admire it for couple minutes - gods bless the dev-team for that and send them 72 virgins.
Still, I don't think you can say "there is no need to use alts", because people are making more than one char for a reason, not because it's funny as hell to train another char from scratch, especially non-combat ones, like medics, traders or travellers (also called "taxi" chars). Yes, here are lazy-smartasses either, who will make alts anyway, for example to avoid cooldowns or whatever, or to have whole bunch of soldiers in base, named MrSmith1, MrSmith2, MrSmith3 and so on, to play Quake over and over. But the solution I see is not to forbid, ban or limit in any other way, but make alts useless. Mining bot - anyone?

And what was the topic anyway? :>

Ulrek:
I'll make another post to keep this on topic.

Anyway, You don't need to make a alt with no combat powers, you can very easily make a alt character that can double as a PvE character, and spend time shooting monsters, also, if that alone is too boring, go to the den area and farm jet from rave parties for a drugie powerbuild. than got stash it all, wait a little while, relog with the powerbuild, and boom, you still have all your stuff, and its made by alts still, but you need to do more with those alts, which makes them more than just crafting clones to farm resources with. And even a doc character could have some skill in small guns. 120% should be enough to make him fairly handy with a desert eagle or SMG.

Also, this would make a simple SG crafter mining in say. redding, more dangerous if he did take even a SMG or desert eagle with him to shoot any monsters along the way.

As a finaly note, adding a item moving time out won't make it that hard on newbies, since they won't have crafting alts untill they know well enough how to make them.

Any idea that forces people from using alts is failing right at the beginning. We need to get rid of

reason for using alts, not alts themselves.
*yawns*

But I've already told that more than once.
*yawns again*

If you could get caps more ways and easyer, i would preheaps trade more with players. Besides, maybe its just me, but playing one char is boring as heck. Im not talking about making tons of powerbuilds and crafter alts, its just i get bored real fast off one char. I guess that is why i have one char off each build, on some builds even more than one.

I fully understand the will to play just one char. Do it, its cool.
But i will never understand the foolish tries to force others play just one char.

Surf:
No one is speaking of just playing one character.
There is a fine line between "alts" and alts.  As long as your freshly created new character doesnt support your other character, its fine. Shit starts when people create alts for every small purpose ( "taxis" etc) only to support your "real" character.
