Imagine you have 100 alts with the experimental weapons facility channeling isk and weapons to a single individual. Once AUR and booster trading comes out, you could generate an unlimited number of boosters, officer weapons and select items with the newsletter offers. Those are just two potential problems...
If you started to farm alts when the WB came outGǪ you wouldnGÇÖt be anywhere near level 5, let alone 4 or even 1. Here is some perspective for you:
If it takes $20 to reach level 4 you need about 20,000 points to reach it. My character in its lifetime has accumulated roughly 30,000 points. I have played since March 2013, I have 5.1 MIL WP, over 3300 wins and over 2300 hours played. I played this game pretty much exclusively for over a year, logging in every day to play for hours. So without AUR I would be barely over level 4. ThatGÇÖs how much effort it takes to reach level 4 without AUR. But as I have spent AUR IGÇÖm sitting pretty at level 9.
It would take an insane amount of time to even reach level 2 on 100 alts. But as has been said before, so long as you pay CCP itGÇÖs ok to farm alts. I donGÇÖt think AUR will ever be transferrable, and if CCP took simple steps they could curb most of the farming. Also, old newsletter items are only available to old characters, making and alt now would yield exactly 0 items from those newsletters.
But anyway, alt farming is the poorest excuse for the level 4 restriction.

No. New accounts? Yes. You can easily make an alternate PSN account using one of the free email providers like Gmail or Yahoo and have all of the newsletter goodies.
No you canGÇÖt, your character has to be older than the newsletter. Character created today (even on a brand spanking new PSN) is not older than any of the newsletters.

Character created today (even on a brand spanking new PSN) is not older than any of the newsletters. How recent is this change? I made an alt for my son in February and claimed the newsletter rewards from months before his character was made. If this is the case then good. That's the way it needed to have been. But even still, exploits still exist involving new characters. I won't be going into details because spreading details of anything remotely considered an exploit could get be suspended or banned. I will report it to CCP though.
ThatGÇÖs the way it has been. My alts didnGÇÖt get the oldest items, the ones that were given out before their creation. How you managed it is beyond me, did you try all the items? Maybe it gives a previous item or two, donGÇÖt know. The newsletters are not exactly frequent or consistent.
Nonetheless, if thereGÇÖs a bug CCP should fix it. ThatGÇÖs one of the easiest ways of stopping farming. Most of the farming can be easily reduced or made null and void. Level 4 is unnecessary.

I wish CCP offered items people wished to buy instead of putting features behind a paywall. I must stress that this level 4 nonsense does not affect me in any way, IGÇÖm level 9, IGÇÖm just annoyed at CCPGÇÖs new aggressive tactics. I find it incredibly distasteful to deny access to a long waited feature from people who have played for a long time. We need players of both kinds, those that pay and those that donGÇÖt.
