Gms have been known to speak incorrectly about things.

Even if it is a loophole, it’ll hardly be relevant. You’re restricted as is as an alpha player, and what, you’re going to buy hundreds of laptops to epicly own CCP so you can mine veldspar in ventures? Seems hardly worth the effort…

The EULA is clear on this:
- YOUR ACCOUNT
You may establish more than one Account for each copy of the Software licensed. You are however not allowed to play EVE by using more than one Account at the same time, unless you pay a subscription fee for each of the Accounts you intend to use for that purpose.
I wouldn’t trust what some person is saying about this if it goes against the EULA, regardless whether it’s some random in rookie chat, in your alliance or even a GM. GMs too are human and make mistakes too.
The rule is clearly defined. Multiboxing Alphas is not allowed.
Is it possible to circumvent this rule with soft-or hardware? Yes, but you’re cheating and risking your accounts in that case.
Now if a GM is creating confusion by claiming things are OK that are against the rules it may help to contact CCP and let them deal with it.
As mentioned in the OP that has been done and we are just waiting to hear.
I would only trust in the EULA and what is written down at some location for everyone to read. It could be that people want to get you deliberately banned by posting this stuff into chat channels. If you rely on it you have no foundation at all.
Also if you get an answer from a GM, i would not rely on it before it is not reflected in the EULA. I had experienced this in the past: GMs come and go and different GMs come to different interpretations of the rules. So even if you get one GM pointing out it is ok with him, doesn’t prevent the next GM from banning you 10 days later based on his interpretation. The same goes with the opinion from a GM and a senior GM. If the senior GM has different opinion, he will outrule the decision of the lower GM.
A definitive answer would only be written down for everyone to read in the EULA. Afterall you can pull the same trick now…pretend a GM said it is ok with him to get people to trust you on it while you never received such an information or a positive one.

Mining is nonsense obviously but homefronts would be doable with alphas and is betterISK/h than anything else and alpha can do.
The people who are allowed to multibox alphas by their GM, also gain a huge advantage in scouting.
So obviously my attention when tabbing by the Eve Forums is like nill, since its 99% trolling anyway.
To sum up the short replies a little bit.
Banning of innocents. When official people tell hundreds of people in official channels, that they can do something, and then they in 6 months or 2 years, get banned by some other official for doing it. When they tell this other official they were told by an official it was ok, the answer will likely just be “You misunderstood something.”.
Strategic and tactical advantages, the people who are allowed to multibox Alphas can get more DPS, more scouts, more haulers, more rat spinners etc whatever they deploy their Alphas as.
In practice what is in the EULA (or any law) means nothing, only the rules that are actually enforced matters. If the GMs have different rules for different people, there is not only the competitive differences, it also creates a very bad atmosphere where GMs easily can harass anyone they don’t like / their friends wants harassed.
Wow, you encountered a real conspiracy here. Tell us more!

So you didn’t like what you read and pull off another “Laubrani” again as usual…twisting around everything and pretending you and we wrote something else…and of course everyone who answered you is trolling…99%…
That was not how you started the thread. Nowhere did you write that an official made a statement. You gave quotes of players talking about CCP and of someone supposedly having had a conversation with a GM - this is not an official statement. An official statement is something written down and fixated permanently by an official person for everyone to read.
If it is not written down in an official manner, you are acting in a grey area and are subject to GM interpretation. In that case you personally have to enter in discussion with the GM and reproduce your “proof” of whomever “allowed” you anything. Unless this is retrievable from another ticket with a GM conversation or from the EULA, you have no proof. You can not reproduce the chat. A logfile on your computer will not be the evidence. A document written and published by CCP is. A ticket reviewed by a GM might be. However the next GM can always decide otherwise - CCP is the owner of the game and they can also revise their communication and decisions.
That is the complete contrary of what everyone tried to tell you again. The EULA is the binding thing. For your other accusations you can not produce proof. If you feel this is real, then bring it before the CSM so they can address it.
I really don’t understand how you tend to turn statements always 180 degrees in the opposite direction…
