With content becoming more and more geared to low incentive group play, players are purchasing second, third and fourth accounts at alarming rates. How many in your corp have more than two? CEOs are hard pressed to know who they are talking to on comms because numbers in corp /= numbers on team speak. How could a corp of real player compete with a corp of multiboxers?
With the addition of plex, it makes things worse. Now multiboxers make so much isk, they can afford to plex all of their subscriptions. Essentially making their game free to play.
My question to you GD: Does Multiboxing help or hurt the EVE Online experience? |

Using automation tools such as ISBOXER to send key strokes to multiple clients at the same time is against the EULA. Totally different.

I assumed most of us had quite a few of them.

They do seem to be prepping us to go in that direction. First with just some ships and ship skins, then later when we have swallowed that medicine they will bring in the "upgrades".

Multiple accounts has jack to do with plex.
1 hour of high sec Incursion running a day can get you 4-4.5 bil a month, enough to plex 4+ accounts(which im doing right at this moment). Its easier to do that than to multi box anything.

The average number of accounts for players has mostly always been generally >= 2, EVE is still fine more than a decade later. Multiboxing doesn't harm the game, it only enables more content to be created. If everyone were limited to one account they wouldn't have the capacity to maintain current content generation levels or frequencies. |

1 ship loss because of a bad FC, disconnect or mis-click will equally set you back one month's worth of incursions by your calculation.

Maybe EVE Online is only played by 50k people with an average of 5 accounts... |

I've had this Machariel for 2 years. And TVP has insurance that covers disconnects and FC mistakes. It's not my fault if others choose to fly with fail communities.

So far I've ran into 7 folks with 5 accounts and was refused entry to an indy corp because I had fewer than 5 accounts. I wonder what this will do for the NPE?..... |

from what I understand that is very rare. And even if so, there are insurance programs that cover such losses.
Old dead horse though, multi-boxing has been around long before PLEX and power of two (you new, OP? bought some characters?), especially in the sandbox. Pre-dates EVE, as I remember multi-boxing a sandbox almost 20 years ago. After all, this isn't a trash emu themepark game where they get all panty bundled over boxing, here internet spaceships is serious business in the sandbox.
Actually, multi-boxing is a little more defunct since multiple character training, why we see lower peaks now rather than opening additional accounts to train alts adding to those peaks. But still has significant uses in certain aspects of game play. 2/10 |
