Who did that? When alpha ganking was possible every week there would be a thread about “oh these gankers are abusing alphas and multiboxing them!”. Never it was proven. Most of the times it was in fact disproven immediately simply because there were proofs in screenshots or video that the clones must be omega (like color of UI for example). And none of the multibox fleets disappeared after the nerf. How strange… that was the goal right so wtf?
I haven’t heard of anyone who would be spining a new account everytime his account went to -10. There was no need to because tether was still a thing. And CCP removed tether after alpha ganking nerfs.
Without multiboxing, there was no abuse. And if someone was truly multiboxing those alphas, then no matter what he did with that, be it ganking or mining ore in highsec, he was breaking rules and should have been banned. Same as botting. If you reported such player and he didn’t get banned, guess he wasn’t abusing alpha multibox.
Not much you can do with 1 alpha ganker. However, when it was possible we had much more actual players to play with because these bored nullsec players or even some highsec supporters could spin a new incognito account and help us when they had nothing else to do, without committing PLEX into it. As they never wanted to do it fulltime. Likewise we had easier time recruiting new players because they could immediatelly join us. If you don’t know, 99% new players thinks this is free2play game and are playing as alphas as long as possible (then their either sub if they found some goal in game or quit). Now this is not possible and this is the biggest consequence of alpha ganking nerf and forces us even more into multiboxing.
BTW. I used to gank as alpha. After they prevented that, they forced me to sub. Now I have 6 omega accounts and doing 6 times more “damage” than before. And I try harder because I need to get enough ISK to be able to sustain this gameplay longterm, whereas before I was just chilling in Jita while doing other things on my computer. Now I play EVE fulltime basically.
