I knew a guy who had 24 accounts in SWTOR -- before there was a lower cap. He was dying of cancer and that was his way to cope, even though he had family.

I still had to block him as he was intolerable. I felt bad about that.

There's a Titan killmail floating around with three players on it: the tackler, a guy multiboxing 30 neuting Tempests, and another guy multiboxing a similar number of DPS ships.

Since Titans are more or less helpless without a support fleet, you could make a case that multiboxing increases as risk decreases. Asteroids don't shoot back at all; neither do ice fields. Titans don't shoot back effectively, unless you're about as big as they are. Industrials coming through gates? Same deal.

Multiboxing against a fleet of 60 piloted combat ships? Yeah, not so much.

nm. I thought it was someone new.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

I don't know but you can't really multibox in SWTOR; 24 accounts there makes even less sense...to the outsider looking in.

The h8r is strong in this thread.


Let him do what he wants. He pays for them, its like having that many more players. What does it matter if they are controlled by one hive mind.

I run 4 accounts. I have run the numbers and I could run quite a few more.

I just have a family, a job and a desire to some things other than play EVE.

This isn't a situation where someone is exploiting the game, cheating or hacking. You too can do this. That you don't means you won't or you lack the technical or financial capital to do it. Can't fault the guy for playing the game the way he wants to.

You're just butthurt because of some preconceived notion that he's stealing an opportunity that quite frankly you're probably never going to be in the position to avail yourself of in the first place.

Don't ban me, bro!

But definitely not better than 118 accounts.

Anyone who knows of www.minerbumping.com or any of my mining threads such as this one...

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3257995#post3257995

knows where I stand on the matter. I'm just saying, this guy has been through enough. There are tens of thousands of other miners like him you can find instead.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Well this thread has become interesting. Who is this curious fellow, who has supposedly been through enough, yet still mines with more than 100 accounts?

Apparently he's the guy that everyone here wants to tear down because they're too lazy to lay claim to the same accomplishment.

Amazement at the amount of accounts and/or characters certain EvE players are managing to run simultaneously is is ok.
What's not ok is derail this thread into an Isboxer discussion or into something that is better housed in Crime & Punishment or even CAOD.

I have removed some off topic and trolling remarks and let some edge cases stay. Please people, stay on topic and above all civil!

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

This guy isn't really hurting anyone, at least he is doing more for the game than some scrub in a rifter.

I want CCP to ban anyone that has a faster connection then 56k. Since they all have an unfair advantage towards the people with a 56k connection.

How is it unfair advantage? You can also use ISBoxer.
