I didn’t say that multiboxers don’t exist. I merely pointed out that with the influx of alpha players they should make up a smaller part of the total number of players in EVE. This could be the case even if multiboxers are more common today then ever before IF at the same time the number of non-multiboxers have increased. ---

There are even alpha players who multibox… I doubt even CCP know how many individual people play EVE. ---

> [@Magnus\_Carta](#): > > Exactly how much value should we put on your “findings”? Probably about as much value as you put on any statement that someone qualifies with “Not based on statistics”, “from my own observations”, “my _ **guess** _ is” and “something in that range”. If you’ve got better data or observations, feel free to post them. If not, I guess you can just go stand in that long line over there. You know, the one made of EVE forum posters who have nothing relevant to add, but want to ■■■■■ about the people who do. Don’t worry, you won’t lack for company. ---

You seem to be confusing ‘relevant’ with ‘statistically accurate’. My reply is _relevant_ to the topic at hand, based on my personal observations. It is a ballpark guesstimate, and clearly and multiply labeled as such. Your replies add nothing to the topic except to make clear that plain English is something you’re still struggling with. I’m happy to point you in a direction that can help!
