EVE General Discussion

I can afford multiple accounts.

But I do not wish to multi-box.

Ergo, your reasoning is flawed.

I've posted that this thread should have been locked (or something else like "why is this thread still here") but I can't find it. Must have been ten pages ago.

EDIT: Oh, I guess it was only two pages ago. The discussion must be slowing down.

Nowhere. What's your point?

if it's so obvious, where is your irrefutable proof that every person that owns that many accounts is involved in RMT?

also, there's a sadistic joy to be had in running a fleet of ships that log in after DT and strip a 20 belt system in a few hours to deny every one else in the system any ore. especially when you see how many "change asteroid respawn timer" threads there have been in the last few days, each one considerably worse than the last.

because multiboxing actually requires you to be playing the game, and provide an input?

yeah except everything requires input to set it up, so it's a moot point.

Obviously multiboxer ?

Future of the game - hordes of miners and a total of 10 real persons playing the game.

Here's how I see it:

Technically (and officially) it's not botting as such but to me it just feels "wrong". It's ofcourse very difficult to put a number on that feeling, is having 2 accounts wrong or how about 5? While having multiple accounts is just something that's part of EVE (I've ran up to 7 at some point) and while it's ofcourse very lucrative for CCP to allow it I do feel that there's a distinct difference between someone running a hauler alt, a scout, perhaps a cyno character or just simply juggling between his accounts and someone using software to duplicate his actions for all his accounts at the same time. It just seems wrong to see 12 [insert ship type] doing the exact same thing at the exact same time.

Ofcourse people will reply with "but you can build a rig that does that as well" and all kinds of similar semi-trolling reasonings, thing is that it's up to CCP and they don't need any logic for it as they simply decide what is allowed and what isn't. To me I'd not allow programs like isboxer, if someone wants to run multiple accounts that's fine but he'll have to personally control each and every one of them.

This "petition" won't go anywhere but having a reasoned debate (on GD, wtf am I thinking) on the subject is good and if enough people (other than "I don't/can't run more accounts so no one should" small people) raise their voice that just might change CCP's perspective on this. I'm fine with people having multiple accounts and using them, I'm NOT fine with people using special software to control their characters like an army.

You are talking about multibox program not he/she.
