Granted, I CAN see having a 'camera' account for making movies/taking screenshots, or even a 'testing' account to try out crazy stuff if you care about stats, or to test the 'new player' experience.
Do you guys have alt accounts for any other reasons?
I created my first Alt to test Elo. My Elo as Joe has been inflated by being part of the Law. So I created a Alt to see how well I can PUG. But I added limitations due to all the rancor over Mediums. So I ground up to a Cicada using mostly energy weapons... Not my best area. No Mech over 1.0 W/L 0.83 KdR

Then I created an Alt cause I wanted to see how I fit as a Cavalry player. Fast medium/heavies. Not bad but not my strong suit. Funny fact, I did good in a Jenner for two weeks... then Elo caught up! Kurita (K suffix) mostly but bought a Heavy Metal. Treb-K was the best W/L KDR on this Alt
Anton
Least restrictions, Bought a Awesome to start (PPCs were being cried about as OP at this time.) I did well in the Awesome but didn't like the ease at which they died. As a Davion I jumped into the Jagers and had a good time. Played AC10s over mediums, AC5s over SRMs AC5s over AC2s... Found I really liked the AC20s Over all! Anton did well in Centurions, Jagers and OK in Stalkers. But the lack of weapon limitations had given Anton a really good Feel playing and likely the higher Elo of all but Joe.
Each of my Accounts was made to test some mechanic in the game... with the exception of my Ghost Bear Pilot... who remains in the can till Clans actually launch. No sense using a test pilot when there are no vehicles to test yet!
