We treat you with respect, but still, maybe without multiboxes? (your idea is good and everyone’s game is profitable)
It is my opinion, Natrium. If it isn’t interesting to you, I will not die from disappointment.
I’m not sure what quoting these figures is meant to achieve, Natrium. I presume they’re accurate, for I have no interest in them myself.
I am Sasha Nemtsov. You are the miracle, Natrium.
If you chase two rabbits…be sure that they are rabbits, and not phantoms.
Cleaned up several off topic, inappropriate posts.
let’s see if we can keep this on track to assisting the OP on how to learn from this experience.

YOU make the claim that it is so it’s on YOU to show proof. Others (even ones who aren’t typically in favour of ganking) already explained how it works but to understand this would require active brain effort and there’s enough evidence that you’re not very willing or capable of that given your AFK auto piloting and your crap fits.
A 5 second youtube search on “eve online multibox ganking” shows several videos, the top one is this one which shows exactly how this happens.
But doing a simple search like that, to learn more, is probably too much brain effort.
You keep confusing proof with your assumptions. Nobody’s trying to prove there is no automation running. I can guarantee plenty of people run automation, and deserve to be banned for it. People are telling you what really happens, and how to distinguish automation from a fast-clicking multi-boxer.
Nobody is even arguing that multi-boxing is good for the game, or that multi-box ganking is a good idea. I happen to think both of those are bad for EVE in the long run.
But the thing is, those things are currently legal and supported by CCP’s rules for EVE. To some extent they’re even economically necessary for the continued operation of EVE, given the (possibly bad) design decisions made by CCP.
However, you keep confusing multi-boxing (which is legal) with automation (which is illegal). You keep confusing your assumptions with facts. You keep confusing people who point out the reality to you with “bad multiboxing cheaters” or something.
I realize perhaps you’re dealing with language differences, and I completely respect the fact that you can communicate reasonably well in a second language.
Unfortunately, all you’re communicating is that you have the logic and anger-management skills of a 12-year old.
Learn from these opportunities and get better. That’s EVE.
Hi Kezrai, multi-box ganking only became particularly necessary for solo players. It’s less of an issue for ganking fleets, even though their members do multi-box, sometimes because they have to do so in order to be effective.
You know what it took in the past to gank, say, a Retriever. One ganker and one scout/looter. Technically that was also multi-boxing, of course. But it was (for me, at least) affordable fun.
If CCP is committed to the preservation of suicide ganking as a viable activity in EVE, then it has made the career more difficult to pursue, and that may well have been their intention. It’s their game; their rules.
If you accept what I’ve said, above, then I’d really like to know why you believe that multi-boxing (in relation to suicide ganking) might be bad for the game in the long run. You’ve probably made the argument elsewhere, Kezrai, but I’d be grateful if you could re-hash it here for me . Thanks.
And we multi-box to hunt gankers so all good
Well it’s not multi-boxing, per se. And not even in relation to ganking, suicide or other. If someone wants to pay for and run multiple accounts, to mine or manufacture or fight, more power to’em.
The problem for me is that somewhere along the way, CCP seems to have given up on trying to broaden the potential appeal of the game. Not mass-market it but at least not confine it to such a narrow niche. They apparently decide that it was better to construct the game in such a way as to maximize the income for a comparatively few, dedicated players, as opposed to broadening the base.
This has a lot of potentially negative outcomes, from restricting the variety in the game to narrowing career freedom to multiplying the financial impact of any bad decisions that drive people away from the game - since losing a single player is likely to lose more than one account’s worth of income.
So I’m less against multi-boxing, as I am against design decisions that encourage the development of a more vertical player base than horizontal (if those terms make sense for you).
Absolutely crystal-clear, Kezrai, thanks.
I share your misgivings about CCP’s apparent course and its likely eventual destination.
If I play devil’s advocate (though no-one has asked me to do so…), I see too the unattractive propositions available to CCP. You mentioned them yourself.
Perhaps, instead of shunting a broader base of newer players onto some magical shard where they’ll be cushioned from the undoubted horrors that they face, it is the veterans who should be ‘encouraged’ to move to somewhere new, somewhere more challenging, and a fitting environment for the utilisation of their many millions of skill points!
Of course, it would have to be packaged as some kind of reward…
p.s. That’s not a serious suggestion, of course. Thought I’d add the rider; my views have, in the past, been misrepresented.
Yeah, but it was pretty friggin’ awesome, though.
Go to Nullsec, refuse to pay rent, carve out your own space and play NRDS. That is Eve on ultra hard…
@Destiny_Corrupted would be most interested, she always wanted to be a Real PvPer
It is always fun seeing a ganker shrill trying to make it about me. Why would a trade hub hugger be interested in that?
EDIT: I should have quoted your post as you modified it after this post, chicken…, stand by your posting, LOL
make me
Getting a bit emotional there at my amusement over your panicked edit.
Pretty apt metaphor for your post edit.
Dracvlad! How are you, man! I missed you! I hope you’ve been well. Its been a long time. I really hope there’s no hard feelings. I think maybe we should be best friends now?
