Dude you really are ignoring the meat of this here. It is pointless to base what you feel, think, or believe on an opinion or motive when you have data that contradicts those beliefs.

It is not perfect data, but it is probably the best we will ever get. So what I am saying is that I can say that those are probably all new alts but it would be an assumption. Assumptions are pointless in this discussion. Do you understand that? Please move on.

@Dom_Arkaral unfortunately I do not have a reddit account.

I may also look at some other slices such as corp history of early characters to see if any trends popout.

Filtering cynos out is probably a good one too.

The more refined this gets everyone will find that the general point still stands.

Sure, but how are you going to determine this from the data at hand? What part of _this_ do you not compute.

Because the answer is just an expression of one’s beliefs. You might say it is alts, another might say it is new players…but there is no way to settle the difference.

Further, it could be that the break down is 50.2%/49.8%…which is so close to equal who cares.

Seriously, you are arguing over people saying, “We can’t tell given the data we have…so why bother?”

Indeed.

Yeah, belief persistence is a very strong bias to overcome.

To give you an idea how meaningless this is, you can answer for me Salvos.

Cyno alts are integrally a NS “new character” factor.
