Your post is an absolute fallacy. I have been playing eve for 15 years now and there have always been people demanding the reduction of risk. Nothing changes year on year. ---

You get more done with five characters compared to one I was totally against multiboxing once I tried it though I don’t know how I would ever go back to just one character I run two at a MIN I’m normally running 4 sometime 5 depending PS yes they’re all paid WITH my credit card in real life cash and I buy Plex because I enjoy doing my game the way I want to do it and Plex allows me to do that especially when I lose SHIPS ---

I understood the video enough to see the trend in what EVE’s play style will end up as. That and my own personal experience with multibox gankers. Whether this is a play style that level’s the playing field for “that small guy,” if it’s effective and even encouraged, its only a matter of time the big corps will adopt it, if they have not already. So you just wait when the well organized alliance uses multiboxing mainly in their doctrine. ---

There are some very strong opinions here, along with the usual stuff. I’m on the side that thinks multi-boxing is ok. I’m not going to say it’s good or bad for the game, just that it’s pretty neutral. Multi-boxing alpha accounts on the other hand… well you know. ---

Anything “that small guy” can do, a multiboxer will be able to do many times over. Mining, killing NPCs in anomalies, running industry jobs, etc. The best thing to do is stop comparing yourself to the achievements and abilities of other people and learn how to play your game the best you can. ---

> [@Jennifer\_Austin](#): > > Laughing I am that small guy I have five accounts paying for them all in cash I mean, that’s the thing. A “small guy” with only one account will never be able to keep pace with you and your 5. That’s kind of the point. If a person on just one account to keep pace with someone who has dozens, then what’s the point of having dozens of accounts? ---

Are you tellin me it is totally possible to have EIGHTY characters and pay for all of them with ingame money by just plexing and not paying real money at all? … As a lone highsec miner I think I’m going to just f myself, while watching all thos FOB NPC gankers and triglavians raping my only mining barge I cannot afford to replace when I lose it… I feel like an idiot payin those 15 bucks for subscription. ---

Well, the answer is yes, it is possible. But try messing with them a bit and entire setup can collapse like a house of cards. They can skill farm while mining after all - at which point they make tiny bit of loss from sp farming but it is covered very quickly by mining. ---
