Recent times, more powerful rigs, same EVE minimal requirements for a long time, IS Boxer (Group Size: 256 Lol), multiboxing allowed, accounts promotions, changes in incursions so you can run them 24/7, increases in PLEX price more frequent and stronger.

Coincidence!!?
Because there are so many computers that normal people have access to that can run 256 clients at once, right? Even with multiple computers, it ends up being tens of thousands of dollars. And still laggy. And complicated as hell to run. And probably not in sync.
Account promotions? Those are to.. Oh, I don't know.. Get people to resub or start playing?
What do increases in PLEX price have to do with CCP? It's called a player driven market for a reason.
Multiboxing will probably never kill games. I know MMORPGs that have the equivalent of PLEX, people make money multiboxing and that game isn't dying any faster because of it.
Yeaah. Because people can stay up 23/7, right? Roll And sure, it might introduce more isk into the game.. But I think there'd be less pvp if they nerfed it, because of how many people run incursions on an alt to fund PvP.


You are exaggerating, I did not exaggerate, I only posted those things that allow people to multibox with 40 accoounts and PvP in those 40 accounts. 256 is still a call of future.

There was a 40 account multiboxer that won fight with other multiboxer that had less accounts but he was with a fleet of real people too. Skill or technology? Maybe both, but with PLEX in the background. PLEX that can be earned by those 40 accounts. And the price this multiboxer dictate is so high, it doesn't allow 39 other real people to have it. They can stop playing or use the real money. Some people don't think that this game is worth the second option. In extremity it can be -39 less real players you can talk to and extract tears. Playerbase would effectively shrink.

This isboxer rage is hilarious. 40 accounts requires 40x more isk to plex. And no its not 40x easier to make isk with 40 accounts. Its probably quite a huge reduction in isk per account per hour in fact.

In another thread "isboxers are paid subs, they can't afford to lose that....", this thread they are all plexers, in the incursion thread they are probably sleeper spies ready to pounce, and in some sub forum they are probably the zombie Apocalypse in internet pixel space ship form.

Seriously get over it. Multiboxing and isboxer is not something new and not just in eve. HTFU already.

Or play WoW or Star Citizen that has not of that. Oh wait.....

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

when you say 'worst', how bad you think is the idea? Like worst 5%?


This is the worst idea in the history of F&I. Literally the worst.

How bad is it? Report-you-for-trolling bad.

But I won't. Because you're not. You're just ... special.
