I'd just like to point out that the title of this thread is heresy of the highest order, and that op should be burned at the stake for witchcraft. (In game)

Until EVE has 11 million subscriptions, this is a silly argument.



All I want to see is, how many HUMAN beings are in possession of any (1 or more) accounts and not just the total number of accounts.

For years I have said that this "you need an alt for this, that and the other thing" looks like a scam to a lot of people. I can't even tell other adults I play Eve any more, and for one reason, it makes me look like a chump. A lot of people have come to the game and seen this deal where you need more than one account "just to survive" and they see that as a scam. Oh, you want to play? OK, but unless you want to be gank fodder, double what you pay us, at least. It does not matter if you think that's a scam yourself, or if you are for or against it, it's just what it looks like.

So there are two camps, one is silent and have said their very last and irrefutable word on the topic, that if you fall for this you are a chump. Where are those people? They left, and they don't come to these forums to get trolled by the other camp, the ones who put so much $$ into this racket that to let go of the "you need X number of accounts" mantra means the thought they might be chumps starts to creep into their heads, and that hurts their ego, so they push the mantra even harder. They'll call the ones who left all kinds of names, but they won't listen, they won't care because they left.


So this "number of subs" thing is BS in a game where a mantra of alts is pushed and held in high regard (by those with Stockholm syndrome or maybe just a case of autists gonna autist). I want to see the number of total human subscribers and compare that to the number of subs. I don't want exceptions paraded around either (ISBoxers and altaholics). Just show me the money.


You do realize that its not vry hard to write a script and sort accounts based off of player names and e-mail address and link them together right? So that 'subscriber numbers' is 'subscribers' as in people. They never say 'eve has xxxx accounts' they always said 'we have 350k subscribers' tbh, this would simple to weed out and figure that billy bob has 20 accounts. But billy bob is one person.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

" World of Warcraft has lost 50% of its subscriptions since 2010"...Right, and the last thing i want is them coming to Eve, we have enough knuckleheads in this game as is. Ugh
