I can't believe this is allowed .....

One question: Why?

Why 100 miners? Most people have 4-6, why do you need soo much isk? What do you spend isk on? Is playing EVE enjoyable for you?

This would be awesomesauce if you had a thousand people. 100 is a pretty boring number.

So if the goal is to get all these miners running then watch netflix, what is the purpose of the miners? Clearly to farm isk, but what do you farm isk for?

How do you control them all?
What are your system specs to run such a number of characters?
Any good tips to an aspiring large-scale multiboxer?

How long does it take to log in all those toons?

So is 30 the most you got to run on a single PC?

I do all that with 2 accounts, you just seem to be creating a ton of work for yourself and then trying to convince yourself you enjoy it.

This is honestly the first time I've considered taking up suicide ganking.

That's very impressive. I assume you were using the SSD as a pagefile?
How are framerates with that setup? What would you say is the biggest bottleneck after RAM: CPU, or GPU?

I wonder two things: (1) how many hours a month do you spend in-game running this fleet; and (2) how much did you spend training up 100 characters and fitting out 100 Hulks before this atrocity became self-sustaining?

No no no. You don't get it. Goons are destroying the game! This guy is just a miner. He doesn't hurt anyone.

41 accounts...takes about 10 minutes. You are doing something wrong.

Holy gankbait, batman!
Somewhere, a belt is about to die.


Heh. All true. Still an impressive freight train of barges.
James 315 must be spinning like a top.

Well I find if I long them in real fast some do not load correctly. So I have to log them back out and back in. So it is easer to go 4 at a time one on each computer. Join the fleet setup the windows then go to the next. Sometimes less then 45 min.

Aren't battleships slightly harder to control effectively than Mackinaws? Are you planning on using some software like ISBoxer?

Let us know - I'll watch it.

Hell, that vid of the barges might be useful promo footage for CCP, though I doubt they'd want to publicly comment on the multi-boxing aspect. A similar caravan of battleships or mixed battleships, battlecruisers, and crusiers would be probably be even more useful.

You forgot to add how much RL money you are making with those accounts. I am sure inquiring minds want to know.

And?

Over 100 accounts that works out to 80 mil an hour.

and to plex those 100 accounts. He needs 56 billion a month. (figuring on 560mil per plex)

I on the other hand did it with 3 active accounts. And only 2 running the sites, so that gives me 125mil per toon.

And I only need 1.7 bil a month to plex my 3 toons.

So it takes him about say 70 hours of running those 100 accounts to break even (pay his plex). I doublt I even put 70 hours into this game total a month.

It takes me about 7 hours to break even (pay my 3 plex)

And even largely AFK ice mining, he still has to unload 100 ore holds every ??? (have no idea how long it takes to fill one up) which still has to be work.

Heck logging in the accounts is 45 minutes of actual work even before he can start doing anything.

Consider my bubble just fine thanks.

Nerf tech moons, boo to all tech moons.

Ice in highsec needs a good buffing.

You're contributing to the rising costs about as much as they are.

Impresive.

I'm only up to 12 accounts, but who knows where it goes. Like you I like to push limits and see what happens.

You sir are an inspiration :-)

Also people need to understand it doesn't really matter how many miners you multibox. It takes just as long to mine a block of ice with one miner as it does to mine two blocks of ice with two miners. Weather I'm multiboxing one account or a million it takes the same amount of mining. The only thing that doesn't scale is set up time and what not but there are ways to mitigate that.

I do have a question. What do you mean by ISBoxer can't handle more that 16 accounts on one box. What exactly happens? I was hoping to use one box to go more than 16 accounts. My box seems to handle 12 without even blinking if I turn down all the graphic settings and resolution to minimum values.

Anyway, keep up the good work. It's nice to have a hobby :-)

*cough*bullsh*t*cough*

at the very least you use key stroke replication.

CCP better hope that you don't decide to quit. If your number is anywhere close to accurate :: $20K/month will pay for about 2 employees + benefits.

Awesome vidz dude. I really like how you showed the same scene from different perspectives and zoomed in from different angles.

We could have made a video of the masstest yesterday using your techniques.

Good job. Good work. It was in real time.

Are you the guy that undocked like 30 charons from Jita?

What i would like to know seeing that , do you have a job ?

I'm going to speak, uninformed, here since I didn't read the entire thread. So, I apologize before hand if I am wrong.

There is no way you'll convince me you're not replicating your keyboard/mouse clicks which is or at least was against the EULA/TOS. Not that I really care. I'm just saying.

Also, you're all that is wrong with the Eve universe. Good day, Sir!

I bought a new SSD a month ago and immediately put my pagefile on it. It has now expended 0.6% of it's theoretical lifetime. So this is hardly a big deal.

Hmm, with that many ships you could create art.

Get them all mining and then position them so the beams create a laser show, or artwork.

If you stretch the desktop between screens then you have sufficient real estate.
Though why not alt tab between them?

Didnt I try to wage war on you under the command of Erotica1 once?


Also you do know you can use the mouse in alt tab and it will show what you are going to select, right?

Is it true that buying a 1 year isboxer license actually gives you a license to use the software on up to 5 computers?

Dont get connection issues....that would be brutally horrible!

You know that much money spent on entertainment should entail prostitues and blow.

Don't want to read the full thread but that was cool. Op do you use ISBoxer at all or do you do it all by hand? And if you don't use ISBoxer why not?

I'm skipping most of this thread, but I just wanted to say that I liked your choice of music so much I instantly bought it off amazon. Excellent song!

Also I dig your crazy mining fleet. Every time I think I can ballpark the diversity of gameplay in EVE I get surprised.

See, that's WoW. Everyone knows there aren't any girls that play EVE.

The most important question to me is why hasn't this fleet been ganked yet?

If this person enjoys some sort of griefer-immunity due to the fanfest incident (which was deplorable, but whose shelf life has run its course imo,) then that's not fair to the rest of us and isn't in the spirit of EVE. That immunity needs to be lifted.

If it's because nobody can be arsed to fleet a half dozen (overkill?) smartbombing bs's and get the most epic suicide gank of all time, then shame on the eve griefer community.

I remember when you wrote you name in an Ice belt not that long ago....HAHA!

Your videos are awesome.

But ignoring all the trolls/goons/miners etc etc etc.... maybe if you didn't **** 20k away on Eve a year you could afford to go to FanFest ????




Wouldn't you love to be in that room, where The Wis gets introduced to The Mittani ?

No matter how you look at it, two things are true:

1) The product of any positive integer and 100 is greater than the product of that integer and one. That means The Wis feels the pain of devaluation 100x more than the little guy.

2) The Wis does not typically mine with all 100 accounts concurrently.

That means he feels the pinch of the ice product price drop even more when he tries to sub all of his 100 accounts using less than 100 accounts to earn that ISK with.

This seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

You could jetcan, use an Orca to tractor the cans to the Freighter and work it that way. Kind of the way Saudi Arabia runs offshore loading platforms for Oil tankers.

Strange. Any time me or my corporation come to the system where you mine, it seems to be more like 60-70 of your accounts docked with none in the belts. This persists at least as long as we are there.

I cannot presume that we are alone in causing this behavior.

I know for a fact you have to make due with less than 100 accounts mining full-time.

I'm sure you don't understand now, so I'll apologize and then explain.

I am sorry for not being straightforward.

My corporation has smartbombed you with success in the past. When we enter Agal now, you dock up. All of your accounts. They stay that way until we leave. In your absence, we settle for ganking less savvy miners and moving on. However, you are definitely in-station with 60-70 of your Mackinaw pilots (and undoubtedly at least one mining capital) during our ganks.

I assume other corporations have also successfully ganked you. For this reason, I also assume you dock up if and when they enter Agal, as well. I assume this because the game supports a personal and corporate standings setting for individuals as well as corporations. I'm fairly certain, good sir, that we are red.

So what I'm saying is that you dock up to stay safe, which is smart. But it still means you're docked with a bunch of accounts.

So you are hinting that your toons 'automatically' dock up???

CCP please ban this botter.

Just once a month get a 100 rifters together and go and cause some havoc in lowsec

Are you using bots to send commands to all those alts ? how do you managed to alt tab thru 100 clients and change astroid ?

If your using a Botting program is this allowed ? and where can i get one :)

he is useing a multiboxing program. which is allowed. you command on one screen it and replicationsthe commands on all other windows you have open

You're a spectacular ****** for making a public video of your antics. This is exactly the type of thing that makes companies choose a zero tolerance policy on 3rd party programs.

This is why we cant have nice things.

Actually, it is rather easy. We do this sort of thing routinely.

In your case, the tricky part will be finding a place where you can find battleship rats consistently and in neighboring systems. You fleet up, go kill 1 BS rat with all your guys on grid. Then warp to the next system and and kill another BS rat. All your guys will get a sec status boost, and the bounty tick process resets when you change system. So you can get the bounty/sec boost every 5 minutes if you can just keep jumping to a different system to kill 1 good rat.

Thinking about it, you would probably want to have a number of guys flying tier3 BC, and the rest can just stay in Rifters. It would be a pain to actually target and kill a BS using 100 rifters by yourself. The other guys only have to be in fleet and on grid to get bounties and sec boost.



You have less of an excuse now

Give in to the dark side
