Anyone control in many more than that is doing it badly because you can’t put your that much concentration into it People can and do control that many, by hand. Just because it seems impossible to you, doesnt mean it isnt possible for someone else. Try stepping up, and stop complaining about the superiority of others. ---

I knew a dude in null sec who ran 25 PI/skill farm alts and I’ve heard of others who ran even more. Don’t underestimate the abilities of the truly addicted Eve junkie ---

What about the 10 CODE. players each of which has 22-25 accounts ganking ‘by hand’… CCP is allowing broadcast inputs, aka cheating, as long as you pay $$$. Just like Carbon credits… POLLUTION IS BAD!! Unless you pay for those credits, then you can do it all you want. ---

That is interesting I would like to know how they do that but anyway we have some confused definitions here like multi boxing and botting are 2 different things. Multi boxing is just running more than one client on the same computer possibly the same screen which for some activities in Eve is not a major difficulty but others is a recipe for disaster. ---
