The core of this game isn't "multi-boxing" and "alts", the core of this game is "multiplaying". This game, as with all MMO's are designed around the concept of social gameplay and multiplayer interaction. Multi-boxing and the use of alts is a player-designed answer to the multiplayer concept.

I agree that CCP will never be able to eliminate multi-boxing, but your fundamental perception of this game is so terrible that it is becoming laughable. Seriously, and before you say that I have a problem with you personally (I don't), let me clarify that my persistence isn't against you as a person, but rather with your understanding of this game and your personal views of Eve. You really don't understand the game very well based on your opinion of the "core" of the game mechanics.


As far as my fundamental perception of this game goes I am not sure what you are arguing about. There are a lot of mechanics that encourage multi-boxing. Fleet warp, the fact that no player can do anything themselves, the skill queue, PLEX, etc. I agree that multi-playing is what all MMO's focus on, however, you cannot argue that this game advertises multi-boxing with both the PLEX system and Power of Two.

I am glad I am amusing you but at the same time, opinion is something we all have and you have yet to sway mine. I find yours a little appalling myself but either way, you play EVE and I play EVE.

Power of two is promoted as multiboxing.


Exactly, this game promotes multi-boxing.

(If you think multiply character training = multiboxing... lol wrong)


I agree that multiple character training is definitely not multi-boxer friendly, more along the lines of alt friendly. I guess I should really rephrase the whole core mechanic thing into more of a multi-boxing friendly or enabling game mechanic. Does that definition suit you better? Either way, this game has a lot of mechanics that enable and encourage multi-boxing. Yes, these mechanics can be used by single players and thats fine, but they are also used and are very useful to multi-boxers.



I would be happy to talk about my veiws on WH's and the NPE, everyone just seems to enjoy discussing multi-boxing more. I think the NPE should introduce both WH space and FW space. What about you?

Perception is everything and it defines reality to many people, no matter how limited their perception might be. I am fine reasoning and discussing, I have yet to hear anything to change my reasoning. Thus the nature of discussion is to attempt to point out or defend your reasoning to others. We are however, entitled to our own opinions no matter how un-popular they might be. If you are not willing to discuss and attempt to alter my reasoning while I attempt to do the same in return then I bid you farewell.

You mean you have no argument to make. If you have a position other than "you are all wrong" please share it.

Well fun is also good.
