It already is. I'm trying to level the field for people with 1 account and free up some of my own accounts. I hate to agree with Annihilator, but you really are hamstrung if you have only one account and it's been that way forever. It would also be fun to control a squad of NPCs instead of always murdering or avoiding them.
While I agree, that solo-ratting should be REAL solo, not one guy with three accounts, giving a people NPCs to control doesn't really help imho...
But then, I don't really have any idea how to fix it. Maybe nerf the NPCs down to a level where you can actually solo grind them efficiently (esp. EWAR needs a hefty nerf imho), and get rid of the huge amounts of T1 loot that gets dropped.
At the moment I can't really grind solo because there's just no way to get my bot cap-stable enough with a repper running (even ERP don't really help), the reppers itself just don't provide enough rep to be able to grind mech/heavy mech spawns, and the amount of loot is ridiculous.
I've got around 250k EP purely in combat and fitting skills of one single colour bot. That is around half a year worth of playing, if you don't count booster. After half a year of focussed training I think you should be able to grind Alpha-sites without bigger problems.
Hell, in Eve I was able to grind nullsec sites easily after half a year.
PvE as it is right now is broken in Perp, and I don't know what would help besides a complete revamp.
