???

My screens and clients are side-by-side.

I think I spotted the issue: Cilly is using a beige-box Dell and a 1024x768 monitor from 2003.

So what ? You can only focus on one screen at a time. It does not matter if you switch back and forth every 2 seconds…by definition you spend 30 seconds of every minute not looking at one of them. If you have 6 screens, then you are spending 50 minutes every hour not looking at 5 of them. If a miner was AFK from ONE screen for 50 mins every hour Aiko would be up in arms…citing CODE violation xyz…yet some multiboxer can effectively be absent from screens for the same period every hour and …oh…it’s conveniently ‘pedantic’…lol !

Well, I can’t even focus on 100% of the entirety of one screen either. I can maybe pay attention to a third of it at any given time. Like, say, I can be reading the chat window, or looking at the overview, or looking at the space in the middle. Does that mean I’m 2/3 AFK even with just one client? 🤔

No…but I think any rational person ( who knows…there might even be some in Eve ) would agree that there is at least _some_ degree of hypocrisy in multiboxers rattling on about the evil of people being ‘AFK’. It may not be of the same degree or kind, but there is definitely a double standard there.

Gotta say…I love whoever is playing the didgeridoo at Amarr Empire station…well that is what it sounds like.

We already established MBing isn’t AFK. Unsure why you keep trying to push this narrative LOL.

Mm not really. They are at the keyboard. Literally not AFK. You’re trying so hard to make MBing AFK and obv reason is obv. You obv want it nerfed to hurt gankers who MB.

Guess what bruv? CCP ain’t ever gonna give up that sweet cash 😃 Keep crying tho, its lovely.

I am true solo myself, and I accept the risk. Do the same or MB yourself 😃

She’s trying to angle for MBing to get nerfed to hurt ganking. She doesn’t get CCP will _never_ give up that cash LOL.

Nope. Because MBers aren’t AFK. They are literally at their keyboard.

Oh for the love of god. Are you being for real?

You get that multi boxers are not running 6 different accounts that are in 6 different regions of space?

For example if I am running my two accounts together I am mining. I.e. same system so…… same local. So if I’m looking at local chat on one account it’s the same as on the other. I’m getting intel for both.

I’m my case they are both in the same belt. So if I dscan on one. It will return exactly the same result as the other. So again doing it for one does it for both.

And most importantly if I am looking at the screen for one character I can see the other one right there next to me.

Gankers are no different. They need the numbers for the gank. It’s not like all their alts are scattered around new Eden and active intel checks need to be done on ever character constantly.

Comparing this to being AFK may be the stupidest thing you have said to date and that’s quite an achievement.

I look forward to June/July when in usual fashion you will make the complete opposite argument and present it like some great epiphany on your voyage of self discovery.

Seriously. Just quit being a d\*ck for one day.

Aiko is blocked for over doing it and making false and stupid accusations of a RL nature. So I repeat AIko is blocked, and I have nothing to be scared off, after all you are a war deccer who is too scared to put a war HQ up. And you sit in a market hub that I never use and I have no worries about losing ships. And of course can’t see that war dec notification either…
