There could be ways run multiple accounts from the same client simultaneously. This would vastly save on computer power for anyone playing multiple characters at once. There would also not need to be quite as many connections to the server.

There would most likely be some complications from multiple logins at once. This could be avoided by having a setting of the number of accounts you are trying to run which then requires restarting the client. Also multiple accounts could be combined into a single entity. From this there would be a single login and you would select characters from in game windows. There would need to be hotkeys to quickly switch between characters if someone is using more then they have screens. To reduce the need for graphical power the inactive screens would not be rendered.

Some additional options might be added for linking accounts like this.
Single wallet and assets for all characters.
Skill queue that can be set to train different characters in the account without interruption.
Automatically be a fleet and join fleets as a single unit.

While making it easier to multibox might look like it favors botters having them set to a single client like this would make them easier to identify and be properly disciplined. Also it would likely increase the total number of accounts people use.
