EVE General Discussion

The change had and has one positive aspect. It keeps you busy and I can collect your tears in this thread now for over 4 months.

Let's see how many more months you will write poems in this thread until you realize that the change has happened such a long time ago that no one else except you is interested in it.

Your answer makes no sense. Noone who isn't affected by a game change spends so many months on complaining and discussing it in a forum. Either you don't say the truth, hide something or you have some more or less serious other problems with this game. Maybe you just should take a big breath, relax and shut down the computer for a while until you have a different point of view about this topic here.

On the other side feel free to continue this lost battle. Maybe at some point you become so obsessed with it that you end like Jack Nicholson in the pledge.

Dustpuppy is right. Nobody cares anymore, especially CCP. Old news. Move on...

And yet there's still no certainty people won't get banned while using no special software. They've even stated that EVE-O Preview is completely legal to use, while it in itself does enough to get people banned.

The economy never was and still isn't ruined by multiboxers. As for personal gain, I gain nothing from multiboxing in comparison to what I gain from trading, because trading is ludicrously overpowered. Sorry, I didn't realise you were new to EVE.

Which have also existed for quite some time, and with the exception of one or two players who went with 100 or more, have little to no impact on the size of multiboxer operations. If you honestly think they had any significant impact on the economy, then sorry mate but you need to learn a bit more about EVE. And actual botters, producing vast quantities of ISK for sale on illegitimate markets, will be unaffected by this change as they were already breaching the EULA before.

Besides which, you've made it clear that you dislike all multiboxers beyond those with a couple of accounts, regardless of software use.

"At the expense of the core player base"; Interesting position to take.
EveOnline - 1 active .Exe per IP.
You can have multiple characters as long as you don't multibox?

EveOnline economy remains fairly stable and cost effective for the masses due to players working with multiple characters and robot like efficiency (no 3rd party programs needed), to carry out the most mundane and boring job in the game.
Without them the game economy would reach highs never before imaginable, 20 individual miners sitting in an ore anom is nowhere near as efficient or cost effective as one individual with 20 miners. The guy with 20 miners is what allows you to buy what you need at affordable prices because he isn't relying on one character for his profit..

One guy 20 miners -15 miners to cover costs, the other 5 is profit = Lower sale price for ore = Lower cost to end product consumer.
20 individuals mining, each needs to cover costs and make a profit = Higher sell prices for ore = Higher cost to end product consumer.

If a single miner needs to make 60 ml p/h (still pretty low compared to other isk making avenues), how much is 1 tritanium going to cost the manufacturer, who passes his cost on to the consumer?
High end ores would see little price change as everyone would mine them, so keeping the market fairly stable.
Lowend ores would sky rocket in price as everyone wants to make a profit and not until there are shortages do they become viable for individuals to mine. At which time, prices go up with demand.

Sure, the guy with 20 miners could sell his ore at higher prices and attempt to push market prices up BUT they don't because the next multiboxer is happy with the lower profit margin and so keeps the prices lower. Individual multiboxers have little effect on market prices but as a play style, they have a big impact as far as keeping things affordable for everyone else.

Extreme? 20 mil Rifters, 400 mil Ishtars, 1 bil for your next Domi.

At least in Eve

We are all affected, at least all those that multibox. Whether you use software or not, there's a risk you'll get banned under a pretty severe policy for doing nothing wrong. You seem to think that in order to disagree with something CCP are doing that we need to be directly affected by it in our day to day playing. That's not the case. I was very much against Somer getting away with RMT, but it didn't affect me in the slightest.

You seem to be confused. I'm here in the official thread for these changes to discuss my opposition to them., as happens every single day on these forums. You are here because you want to "collect tears", or at least you want to throw around that used up meme even if it makes no sense in the context it's being used. Basically your spending your time badly trolling people.

You misunderstand. I wasn't inviting you to join, I was pointing out that I stand up for the rights of players to play legitimately without being banned, which one assumes include you. Therefore I was saying no need to thank me, but you're welcome anyway.

Indeed.

However, own or third-party software ISBotting isn't. Always. So get over it.
