I was there for the protest in Jita. "No cash for epic battle cruisers", "No real money exchanged for 2x more powerful ammo", "No pay to win" were some of the cries heard over and over again. And some of us were there to look at the pretty lasers blasting the monument. 
I didn't understand what it was all about at the time. CCP vowed to listen to its player base. For the most part CCP has done their part. Fantastic new expansions, ships and ship balancing. But they slipped one past us. Multi boxing accounts and off grid boosters. Even advertising on the log in screen for more accounts.
I don't know what you call this if not cheating http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=16573950 . One person, somehow miraculously, I hope its talent, but miraculously controlling four ships at once. It doesn't help that that same person also has an off grid booster now. I think that Tengu pilot should be refunded their ship.
It doesn't help that this person is well known among people living in Minmatar factional warfare systems to five box stabbed ships into plexes for hours at a time. http://defiant.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=16670945
It doesn't help that this person regularly spews homophobic and vile hate speech and rages profanity in local like a ten year old.
It doesn't help that this pilot mocks people with ridiculous statements, character assassinates legit players with his/her multiple toons in militia chat.
Sadly, I have a second account, and now I'm training it up to be an off grid booster. I feel like a hypocrite, I feel like a hard times working class person who accepts a job in a collection agency call center.
CCP, you need to get on this booster fast, I know it might cost you some money in the very short run, but think of how much better the game is when people participate in the social aspect, when people rely on their corp mates for logistics and command ships. This is ridiculous http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=16171654 .
1. Make warp core stabilizers not work in factional warfare plexes. The idea is they are territory that it is supposed to be fought for.
2. Stop multi boxing, Eve is an awesome game with unreal dynamic pvp. But a condor warp scrambling another ship and orbiting it at 33km and 5600m/s is not balance, its pay to win. |

How is that ridiculous? Boost or no boost, kiting condor should pretty much always win a blaster thorax, especially thorax which only has a flight of medium drones. If Thorax fails to call for back-up in the many minutes it takes for condor to chew him down though, too bad for him.
Awoxing own militia is of course different matter but is anyone actually surprised by Adolf being at it anymore?

You are right, that is a horrible example, but Adolf is the prime culprit with this boosting garbage. I could post on my main and my main corp with an example but honestly right now I need to be spared the trolling and retribution he will get.
Condor gets Loki boosted to 5500m/s cap stable with a 33km scram. The point of using Adolf as an example is simply look at his kill board. He goes around racking up kills all day with minuscule threat of losing a ship, second account and a booster, pay to win.
If that booster would at least have to be on field in visual it would give other players a small chance to bring a good fight. As of right now a player with perfect scan skills and billion ISK in astrological implants can't always find a booster, much less kill it. It reminds me of the old high sec griefers who used to show up to fight a fleet with remote repair that couldn't be attacked without being concorded. |

The bolded bit is what you need to prove, the rest is true but its also not limited to Cynthia. Cynthia is known for local trolling and using multiple accounts. Oddly, I thought he'd be a spurging **** when I first flew and got on comms with him (bare in mind before I joined minmatar I was on the recieving end of it). He's not, he hates wartargets with a passion only them biomassing will calm down but none of it is real life related.
As for the multi-boxing, not sure he does it. I do know he's a pro at controlling multiple accounts and he's certainly not the first to do it.
OGB's... I'm tired of talking about it. I'll welcome them all going but if they stay I don't care. It's part of the game so plan for it.

As far as proving the bolded part that would require posting multiple tickets given to game masters, who seem to not care. I'm not sure if that is against the rules. You can ask anyone in Minmatar militia about the said person's rage in local. I couldn't imagine being in comms.
There is a difference between having passion for a game or "hating war targets" as you put it and full scale cyber bullying. I also have tickets against this person for creating alts just to send harassing mail after being quickly put on block.
You know what I usually do when my fake internet spaceship blows up? Say "good fight" in local and not get bent out of shape over it. I think it is so petty, the name calling and the harassment from behind a screen, get your kill and move on. Sportsmanship is something that has sadly been lost. Then again so has class and respect.

I really don't mind if you pick apart my argument or have something to add. Frankly, that is harassing and very childish and you will be reported for such. Grow up. You are a very small weak person to do something like that.
You know what you really lack besides guts? Creativity! Trolling like that is so old hat, you aren't funny and it isn't necessary.
Where I come from I learned to treat other people how I wanted to be treated and always be respectful. |

I should really have ticketed Cynthia for trolling me over my depression. If its bad for Mittens to say a dude should kill himself, then Cynthia should be rapped over the knuckles for telling me I should have killed myself from my depression.
I mean...come on CCP. He's a useless Hungarian ****, but this one douchebag makes hundreds of your paying customers really wonder why they play this game at all if all they get from logging in is childish abuse from exploiters and **** bags.

The bolded bit is you claiming Cynthia crosses the line into bigotry, the rest is all just in game trolling. The first bit I can say I too would be pissed with but I am yet to see it.
The problem you have is lets say that does happen for a second. Lets say He is a human cesspool of negative sentimentality and rage. Do you believe it's limited to him? I could petition some minmatar every single day let alone random corps that fly through the warzone from null sec that literally would be classed as cyber bullies if you were to be effected by that kind of thing.
Sometimes I kill a target and I am literally called things that crosses so many lines in real life it would get them strung up by the balls in most countries.
So what I'm saying is you are claiming that cynthia crosses those lines. Without having seen that I'd need to see proof.
Again, I'd like to re-iterate I am not supporting 'cyber bullying'. I just think to many people are quick to use that particular set of words without proof to push an agenda.

Thanks bro, I appreciate your support. Believe me Cynthia has tried to kick me when down too. Its unbelievable that he/she gets away with this. I had to endure multiple mails from created alts because I had blocked all her accounts but she kept trying to circumvent it.
Shame on CCP for letting her troll you over your depression. That is not hard to believe sadly, they seem to just not care. |

Cynthia hurt me too, he mocked the time I told him, a complete random stranger, that I was having difficulty dealing with my mothers death.
All he did was take the **** and laugh at me.
CCP need to do something about him because frankly this kind of behaviour just has to stop. I've petitioned him 15 times over the last 3 weeks but they've done nothing. I'm just going to leave it now, surely CCP sanction this kind of bullying. |

No, Christine P, you are absolutely 100% right. And I have been guilty of losing my temper on occasion too. What I haven't done is gone into militia chat saying things about someone I am mad at that are untrue . What I haven't done is create multiple multiple alts to continue to send them in game mail. What I haven't done is used other players to conbey hurtful insulting messages. What I haven't done is continued to spew hurtful things towards another person when they reasonably and nicely asked me to stop.
But Eve can be frustrating, no one would falt you for losing it from time to time, all players do.
As far as the hate speech, I am starting to think you want to bait me into typing out what that person said. It involves words for homosexuals and handicapped people directed 100% at my main and I'm not going down that road, so stop asking. If it weren't true she would not have been warned and banned for "offensive language" unfortunately temporarily.
Look what she did to Trinket going after him while suffering depression, is this actually someone you respect? |

I posted this on one of my alts just to make a point.
Bullying is a real thing guys, get it petitioned properly or all this public bollocks does nothing. While your at it take a look at everyone else you see do it too.

Sorry, to hear about your mother, I hope you heal in time. You sound like me, you come on line to take your mind off life and play the game with your friends. We try to have a MMORPG community. I wish people like that would understand that for most of us this game is a passion and a hobby.
I'm hoping that one day a GM will see these stories and actually do something. |

It hasn't been proven yet, So of course I would not respect that kind of behaviour but I am yet to see it in action. You don't need to prove it to me :) I'm hoping my previous post makes my point.
I do not sanction behaviour like this but what you guys are doing is basically damaging to the issue if its for real.
Either way, I'll leave the convo now. I'm hoping I made sense at some point in time here :/

You really don't need to be so callous. I think multi boxing is a pay to win dynamic. Calling this a "whine" thread comes off very rude in a thread where a lot of people are talking about being abused.
OGB needs to get looked at sooner.
I would appreciate if you didn't have anything constructive to say you could keep your opinions about who is whining to yourself.
CCP does not take offensive language seriously. Many have filed petitions, including the above.
But I really don't want this to be a thread about Cynthia as much as multi boxing is a pay to win dynamic. |

And another thing, you didn't have to continue reading or even post. What the hell do you think gives you the right to come on here and tell me what I can and can't post in the forums, please leave this thread, I'm asking nicely. |

I would like to move this thread more to the topic of off grid boosting and multi boxing need to go away. I feel like the original post got off too much on one person, I have edited it.
But I do think this person is trying to do real harm to other people. |

Quite a lot of people go around racking up kills with OGB links, many of them are terribad without them. At least I can say that Adolf is a competent pvp'er and many were the times we went outnumbered against fleets led by X gallentius and whatnot and end result was always lots of dead froggies and this was before he flew boosters.
Of course then PERVS disbanded and nowadays we hate each other (or at least I hate him) but such are the surprises of life...

I am living proof that multiboxing isn't an iwin button, and to be honest it is actually harder in a few scenarios to control more than one account. I do agree that the booster nerf can't come fast enough. Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. |

If they have the drive and attention span to multi box, I say let them. Not cheating at all. I would love to be able to dual box, but I am just too lazy.
I would also like to see OGB gone, but tbh I can't see them removing it completely as it would cause lots of alt accounts subs to lapse. We will get some sort of nerf soonish tho. derp? |

how is ogb a pay to win feature. pay to win is wen someone buys something from a game store like golden ammo or a harder ship which can be repeated everytime youve used it up or died. you cant just buy boosters from ccp someone trained that toon and spent alot of time doing so yes they can be bought from bazarr but so can any toon, it cant be made a rule no selling boosting toons. As for the stopping ogb they said they would look into it but the code for them just to have an area of effect or being system wide is a little too complicated of rthem atm....
multiboxing is fine if someone can run more than one account good look to them tbh again this is something that isnt just bought but trained toons for and only certain people can do it.... so no pay to win here either

This thread is ..... sad.....
1.) Losing a thorax to a condor means the condor flew well... You should give him honor, not whine about it. I've solo'd Cynabals, Vaga's, hurricanes, drakes, ravens, and much more in frigates... and it takes someone that understands how to fit and fly to pull it off.
2.) Multiboxing is not a big deal.... In my experience, multiboxing takes a lot of effort and concentration, and is fairly difficult to pull off (I try not to multibox in combat too much, cause I often screw up piloting when I do).
3.) OGB's suck.. and CCP is looking into them, but they aren't cheating... they are just cheap! |

I have 3 accounts but i never multibox for pvp, i usually do other stuff if i do multibox, i have no problem with ppls multiboxing if they want, i would however like to see some kind of sign on the target that he is boosted. I love the 1v1's / solo killing, but constant meeting players that make it seem like this will be a straight up 1v1 but in reality has a booster camped.
if there simply was a icon to show that the target player is boosted, doesnt have to tell anything about what boost or anything like that, i couldnt care less about ppls multiboxing as a player controlling a small gang on his own i would at least see that there is involved more than just the one ship with d-scan ect. |

I don't know why people are so reluctant to admit Eve is pay to win. You can boost literally every aspect of your stats using real money. What generally makes it feel acceptable is that there's more risk attached to wearing a Snake set or flying a pirate frigate or using faction modules or having a 50mSP clone. Ogbs do seem to break that rule a bit if they're as hard to scan down as some have indicated.

50mill sp clones dont come from buying extras from ccp they come from people taking time to train them it will happen in ne game ofc older players will have more sp than newer players.. GÖÑ HIGH FIVES GÖÑ-á |

i don't see the problem in your particular case. What would you do if he would have a fleet of distinct people instead of 5 alts? Its the same thing basically. You lost against a small fleet, thats all. Guess what would happen if you would have 5 people in fleet and fight a 5 client multiboxer.
i have one account, one char and do solo pvp most of the time. No OGB, nothing. I don't do it for the stats, i do it for the challenge. Could i win more fights with an OGB? of course. But why should i use it?
Sure OGB is at the current state broken, but not because the booster is an alt in 100% of all cases, its because its risk free. A small pos tower protecting your booster is cheaper as the average T3 subsystem of your booster alt.
Multiboxing pve is a different topic since it has other issues. For example it scales linear. You can double your fleet and point them to the ice asteroid and you have double throughput. Thats not cool. Ice does not deplete. The only limit for ice miners is the technical limit how many clients he can run. Again, thats not cool at all. a eve-style bounty system (done)-á dust boarding parties You fail you fail you fail you fail to jump because you are cloaked |

I multi-box 3 accounts. It isn't hard, nor is multi-boxing a problem - I personally disdain using links though. But that is my personal opinion.
Fact is, a condor would of beat a thorax easily. Just kill its drones and keep at range / hope he has no friends. It isn't hard, learn to figure out how game mechanics work. My friend Jeff killed a Maller the other day with a condor (No links either!).
I do agree that links should be made to be on grid, as I personally find them relatively low risk and overly beneficial. Many believe they are solo pvping when they have a good 30% boost on everyone else. I would rather people use Falcon pilots that they actually have to risk on the field and micromanage then a floating boost.
But like AFK cloakers (non issue), I do not believe it is an issue of urgency. |

This as well, I am personally not a fan of political correctness gone mad. I have insulted and been insulted by other players (But in good fun mind you), if someone says something In local short of threatening you, I believe the best solution is to simply block them.
If they continue to insult you through private messages with multiple accounts, I believe that is grounds to report them for harassment. Because that is an active pursuit of causing you discomfort. As opposed to friendly smack talk / banter in local.

While the use of certain programs to manage multiple accounts is certainly borderline cheating imo, multiboxing is not in and of itself. And CCP is never going to ban it lol. That'd kill off half or more of their playerbase instantly. Every remotely serious player I know runs two accounts at least.
On a secondary note, please leave your personal problems at home or discuss them with your corp mates. No one in this game is going to care, and with people like Tang Tso in this game, we probably won't believe you either. Telling someone at random ingame about your rl issues is like walking up to a random person in the street and talking to them about it lol. Go see a doctor, get some friends, or do anything besides seek help from random people in a video game. |

OP, you do realise multiboxing 5 accounts takes 5x more skill and time than doing it with 1 ? So in reality he is 5x better than you. If he has the quick response to operate 5 toons and kick your ass then he deserves it. I fly with 4 myself, haven't tried 5 yet but its pretty awesome, and instead of crying, you should learn how to do it too.
You got your ass kicked in a 4v1 fight, and the first thing you do is cry on the forums. well done, have a cookie. noob. |

So your point is "If you can't beat 'em join 'em!".
Having several accounts and using them -> perfectly justified. Using your account(s) for whatever you feel like -> totally within the sandbox Multiboxing and off-grid-boosting -> all legitimate and game mechanics abiding
However, you pay for extra accounts to get an extra chance of winning. That is pay-to-win - of course, that needs player skill, I give you that - but it is what it is.
Dear CCP, this is something you might want to look into. Game mechanics. (; Here's to you, here's to me, friends forever we will be ... and if we ever disagree, f*** you, and here's to me.Cheers! |

Everyone should remember that off grid boosting has been there more than 5 years already, so if you do not have booster alt it is only our own fault. You have had plenty of time to train one and grind isk to pay it.
Now if you are new player who just joined circus and do not have one and can not buy one, then join some corporation who can provide ogb support at least on fleet ops.
EVE is game where long play time and skilled chars gives some advantage but not something that makes game impossible for new players.
OGB is not something you have to buy with $ you can use isk to fund it and all modules and ships are in game items not NEX stuff.
If someone is willing to pay more than one account ofc he is allowed to use those, usually efficiency goes down with every alt and finally adding more alts do not help much.
OGB may be too powerfull on some cases and CCP should balance values bit down but not to remove it totally. |

I'm on your side about trollers being fucktards, but I simply can't imagine any faceless video game player being able to in any way affect me so. Much less an obvious idiot.
Now multi-boxing is a better topic. It IS pay to win, get over your justifications. Anything that is done specifically to circumvent the game's mechanics is a cheat. It's that simple.
Using a 'disposable person' to scout a gate ahead of your shiny ship is, by definition, NOT PLAYING EVE. Don't be a loser in the basement, make some friends, have them scout. PLAY the game rather than seek ways to simply brush off the game mechanics. Or...dread...take a risk and maybe get shot. Oh no, not with internet spaceships!
Which begs the question- if the game's intent (that of letting you create a 'life' in New Eden) holds no interest for you, and the games mechanics of risk/danger are optional, best paid to ignore, why play at all? Is there so much self-esteem to be gained from 'winning' a video game that the GAME ITSELF is just there to be exploited? And how does one get any satisfaction in a victory accomplished without any actual risk?
Call it hokey, but MMO players by and large utterly forget the INTENT of the game they're playing. It's just numbers, KMs, a fancy calculator. For all the odd balances and outdated code of Eve, by far the worst unbalancing metric is the players themselves being wholly uninterested in Eve as a game. No amount of balancing by devs will matter if all people care about is finding some way to work around any given restriction by use of tactics that only work because it's a game.
Now, obviously CCP doesn't care. Subscriptions are why they make the game. It all boils down to the players. And obviously players care more about claiming victory than how they got there.
It's too idealistic to hope people will play a game as it's intended. Not in the RP sense, but in the sense that the rules aren't just there to be taken advantage of by who ever feels like paying more than everyone else.
In the end I just play the game as it's intended. If it costs me isk, ships, or KMs, then whatever- it's a game and 'winning' at it isn't so important to me that I run spreadsheets, multi-box, care about isk/hour or anything NOT FUN. Sadly for too many people, they don't like Eve enough to have fun even if they're not always winning. |

I personally don't have any issues with people multiboxing. I just can't be arsed to do so! (i'm bad enough without splitting my attention between accounts) I have had multiple accounts in the past but normally to train characters to transfer to my main account or to sell for isk.
The Off grid boosting I find annoying and feel that making it on grid only will be a big help. I'll still be stomped by a gang flying with on grid boosts while out flying solo but at least they will have commited their booster to the field. If the boosting system made it easier to scan the boost ship down then it would be less of an issue than it is. And boosting behind shields is just bad and is the main reason I hate Off grid boosts.
I prefer to fly 'true' solo (no alts scanning/scouting for me) it does limit my options at time yes and does mean that I'm at a disadvantage a lot of the times. but it also means that the kills I get are, for me at least, more memorable. That is the Way, the Tao.
Balance is everything. |

Dude, I would be so fine with that, if there was a chance to at least kill the booster that would go a long long way to making it a legit mechanic.
As it stands, I do know someone who is notorious for scanning down and killing boosters. A 2003 player with an alt with all lvl 5 scan skills and a billion in implants. Currently not all boosters can be hit, there is a thread about it somewhere.
I am a big fan of giving people a chance to fight back.
BTW, the people on here defending multi boxing in a fight need to go outside a little more and wake up. Would you take a fistfight against 4 people your same size, karate skills aside.
This is an MMO whatever. The social interaction aspect of the game is one of the great things about EVE. Relying on your friends for logi and support are part of the challenge.
Part of the game is "realistic science fiction" like Star Trek. If it were real life there would be one of you. Of course, if it were realistic: a computer on a starship could probably control a few scan probes itself. |

Multiboxing should be banned. In PVP it might be hard to control multiply accounts in most cases, but there are still pretty many cases that needs banning it.
1. One man sniperfleets in example. Lets say one will make a 150+ km bookmark near gate and warp 10 man tornado fleet into that spot and insta shoot anyone. This does not require much actually as if u have same fit on each ship its pretty much 2 clicks to lock the target and pop.
2. Mining is pretty eazy with boxing software, does not require any effort to mine dat ice with 80+ accounts. This is seen in may systems so its easy as a pie.

Thats not cool. Ice does not deplete. The only limit for ice miners is the technical limit how many clients he can run. Again, thats not cool at all.
I multibox specifically for mining, PI and missions. I'm alarmed that you as a well liked poster think someone should be peanalized beause the same billing address / credit card / email address is behind multiple accounts. How else would the system know that my fleet was not four seperate people - and if, (for example), the weapons of my ships did only 1/4 or my mining lasers did only 1/4 because I had four characters under my control - then can I just pay 1/4 for all my accounts? The ony limit for me is not technical, (yet), for me it is simply how much I want to pay each month on what is obstensibly something I do in my free time.
Why would you suggest that multiboxing PvE is a different topic? I don't see how it damages the game or would be something CCP would be moved to stop. Of course I can locust missions, mine 4 times as much, have four times as many PI planets. How is that different to a four seperate players pooling their resources - other than they probably wouldn't? But four Mackinaws still cost the same as four mackinaws - so the isk cost is still the same - the cost scales Linear too. But the resources taken from the world are the same - and converted into Isk - to make the same purchasing power - as any 4 seperate people playing. This main account, Claire, can replace the Freighter I lost the other day in 1/4 of the time someone else might take - but then I / We are 4 - but I can't do exploration on more than one account at a time - and I can't fight PvP on more than two accounts at a time, (and one HAS to be logistics or EWar - and I don't really PvP).
If Claire was PvP focused - and the other three were PvE focused to pay for Claire. Even then - I still do not see how this damages the game - my accounts are not Bots. |

Actually - what's the difference in terminology being used here. What is Multiboxing - and what is playing more than one account at a time?
Is multi boxing where you send the same instructions to multiple screens? Or sommat? Becasue I don't do that. For clarification - I use two rigs with four screens betwen them and Synergi to let the mouse and keyboard work between them. Don't know what that's called.
But I really don't see the issue in doing it. |

Now multi-boxing is a better topic. It IS pay to win, get over your justifications. Anything that is done specifically to circumvent the game's mechanics is a cheat. It's that simple.
Using a 'disposable person' to scout a gate ahead of your shiny ship is, by definition, NOT PLAYING EVE. Don't be a loser in the basement, make some friends, have them scout. PLAY the game rather than seek ways to simply brush off the game mechanics. Or...dread...take a risk and maybe get shot. Oh no, not with internet spaceships!
Which begs the question- if the game's intent (that of letting you create a 'life' in New Eden) holds no interest for you, and the games mechanics of risk/danger are optional, best paid to ignore, why play at all? Is there so much self-esteem to be gained from 'winning' a video game that the GAME ITSELF is just there to be exploited? And how does one get any satisfaction in a victory accomplished without any actual risk?
Call it hokey, but MMO players by and large utterly forget the INTENT of the game they're playing. It's just numbers, KMs, a fancy calculator. For all the odd balances and outdated code of Eve, by far the worst unbalancing metric is the players themselves being wholly uninterested in Eve as a game. No amount of balancing by devs will matter if all people care about is finding some way to work around any given restriction by use of tactics that only work because it's a game.
Now, obviously CCP doesn't care. Subscriptions are why they make the game. It all boils down to the players. And obviously players care more about claiming victory than how they got there.
It's too idealistic to hope people will play a game as it's intended. Not in the RP sense, but in the sense that the rules aren't just there to be taken advantage of by who ever feels like paying more than everyone else.
In the end I just play the game as it's intended. If it costs me isk, ships, or KMs, then whatever- it's a game and 'winning' at it isn't so important to me that I run spreadsheets, multi-box, care about isk/hour or anything NOT FUN. Sadly for too many people, they don't like Eve enough to have fun even if they're not always winning.
This whole thread has me a bit weirded out. What's the difference between me using another of my accounts to scout out a gate - or getting someone else to do it? And if it's because I want to break a game mechanic - then what's the scout for in the first place? And if it's because I don't like people then why did I join an Alliance? |

Now if you are new player who just joined circus and do not have one and can not buy one, then join some corporation who can provide ogb support at least on fleet ops.
EVE is game where long play time and skilled chars gives some advantage but not something that makes game impossible for new players.
OGB is not something you have to buy with $ you can use isk to fund it and all modules and ships are in game items not NEX stuff.
If someone is willing to pay more than one account ofc he is allowed to use those, usually efficiency goes down with every alt and finally adding more alts do not help much.
OGB may be too powerfull on some cases and CCP should balance values bit down but not to remove it totally.
The main issue though is CCP introduced OGB as a stop-gap solution to how Fleet Boosts were provided and the survivability of Tech 3 Warfare Link ships ... I would hardly call 5 years a STOP-GAP measure, for an issue that should never have been a problem in the damn first place.
What I think is even worse is frankly the bonus' provided by Skills, Implants and Warfare Links. It frankly makes players with very high SP damn near untouchable ... especially when fighting new players, I mean for a new player it is already going to be a tough fight against a high-skills player as the disparency between being able to "fly" something and "maxed out" is often massively different in performance terms.
I mean the difference between a new player (say 1-2 weeks old) flying a Hookbill, and myself with my Missile Implants and Skirmish Links in the same basic fit; they might do 80dps, 5k eHP tank being able to scram out to like 11k ... where-as I will be pushing 200dps, 12k eHP and scram out to 15k.
I'm not saying as long-term players we shouldn't be rewarded for the time we put in to the game - but the difference between being new and old in terms of ship performance is just simply ridiculously large. Especially when you're playing with all of these extras.
Frankly I don't see any of this as a "Pay 2 Win" situation, have no issues with that. The day Pirate / Faction gear becomes AUR only like it is in DUST 514, then yes I will complain about that being the case in the game ... frankly I will likely just give up EVE at that point as well, because we pay a subscription so that bullshit doesn't happen. Free-to-Play games are frankly a cancer on the games industry right now that should be cut out with a knife and left to die.
No my entire issue here is just the sheer difference between, Skills, Implants and Boosts. It is far to great and especially in the case of OGB there is basically no risk involved - sure if you use a normal Command Battlecruiser it can be probed down, but T3 with ECCM you might as well give up because even as a highly skilled prober - they are an absolute ***** scan down ... in-fact damn near impossible. I know CCP changed it so they weren't completely unprobable but frankly they might as well be.
Still don't understand why Sensor Strength has anything to do with the ability for someone to probe you down. |

I have been raiding and skirmishing since 2008. Pilots like myself have been doing as well as we did before the introduction of tech 3 cruisers. So, removing modules that effect ships off grid will not end my gameplay. Even then. Pilots were using alternative characters in combat and will continue to do so.
Example: covert op, logistics, recons and command ships.
As far as I'm aware. CCP has not referenced any sizable increase in users based on the aforementioned mechanics. So, removing mechnics that effect ships off grid will not hurt our user base significantly.
Remember. Players use alternative characters because of convenience.
Personally though. I believe using alternative characters in combat is lame. Which would mean I'm lame because I do lame from time to time. |

I just suck at dual-boxing, simple as that.
Dual-boxing on a long roam in a small gang is a bloody nightmare, especially if one ship warps significantly faster than the other - or you're probing with one. When I'm forced into dual-boxing I can pretty much guarantee that one character is going to end up playing catchup with the rest of the gang.
Multi-boxing for cyno chaining is about the only time I ever run multiple concurrent accounts - and that's rare as I'm very lazy  |

You may think so, but there is a list of such programs that CCP has specifically approved. When you set up your interface/overview identically on multiple accounts, you can then replicate actions, such as having your 5 man drake fleet jump at the same time or activate mwds at the same time. This is what the OP is upset about, in addition to being upset about other less controversial forms of meta-gaming. Some first-hand PI tips |

Quite so. If anything one would expect it to be the opposite. I think its fine to have a way to make yourself harder to probe down, its just a bit odd.
On your other points -half dps/ehp and scram range is a TINY differential compared to most MMO pvp scenarios. I don't think a 1-2 week old character should realistically have a chance of beating a veteran with all that extra money invested. Nature of the game and all that. -I agree with you on the risk/reward bit. Atleast you know if you're fighting someone with pimped modules or implants, they're risking a lot if they do get killed. |

Scouting alts are just practical because having another player doing it outside of a fleet scenario would be incredibly boring. Well, most of the time.

As you might expect, i've been monitoring this thread for some time, heres my perspective on various issues raised here?
Botting? -Nope, when i use ISboxer i control them myself, there is no automation. -ISboxer has the POTENTIAL to be used as a botting program, as do many other programs, and indeed hardware (logitech keyboards etc) CCP's updated statement acknowledges this. I.E. if you use ISboxer to bot, using automated keystrokes, you are breaking the EULA. In other words - be careful how you use it. -My multiboxing clients are only used for pvp, which you couldnt ever make a bot for - so this isnt a problem for me.
Pay to win? -Aside from the $20 annual fee, i have never paid any extra RL currency to fund my multiboxing accounts -My 10x multibox accounts are run using plexes, just like most of you. -ISboxer is just as accessible to you as it is to me
Cheating? -What is the difference between someone jumping you with 10 ships, or me and 9 friends jumping you?... nothing, except you're pissed that a single pilot can bring 10 ships and nuke your 5 man gang. -Because someone has managed to make enough isk to run multibox accounts, this is somehow unfair on other people? i think not.
Unfair advantage (in relation to supercap kills recently)? -Recently, it's been very public that i've utilised ISboxer to engage supercapitals using neutraliser fit tempests, saying that without them, the kill would have not been possible - this is incorrect, 3 of us have been 'traditionally' (i.e. no ISboxer) killing supercapitals using 4-5 accounts each in the past. -The ragnarok that died - the pests made no difference, as he logged off without any hardeners turned on. -Ergo, the kills still easily possible, it just takes a few minutes longer. -The increase in kills on my part is because of the recent change in Aggro/Logoff mechanics - NOT ISboxer, even we, whom have benefited massively from these changes, agree that they are horribly broken.
In conclusion: -Your ability to use ISboxer effectively in eve depends on how much ISK you have, NOT RL CASH. -ISboxer itself does not violate the EULA, your anger at individuals like me is misplaced. Botters are botters, ISboxer or not, go be mad at them.
I welcome your opinions and questions, i'll keep an eye here - if not, hit me up ingame.
-Rock.

The thing is, anyone you ask will have their own definition of how one should play EVE.
Which, ironically, is a most basic tenant for a sandbox game such as EVE.
All too often, posters here get so caught up in some highly-abstracted elegatarian notion that they fail to ground themselves in the one basic fact about EVE - that it's supposed to be open-ended gameplay. Like I said, what "open-ended" means can and will differ one from one player to the next, but I assure you its not limited to just "one day I'll mine then the next day I'll PVP."
As for multiboxing, claiming that people having multiple accounts and interacting with them through whatever means is some form of cheating... this is laughable. Many people have their various means to pay for additional accounts, either because they're well-off in real life and can pay real money to maintain their subscriptions, or they are industrious enough in-game and can instead maintain their subs with PLEX (and PLEX, as we all know, comes from others who are well-off enough in real life to buy those and put them on the EVE market.)
So we have two avenues - those who can pay will RL monies, and those who have time to play EVE to earn ISK to buy PLEX from those who have RL money.Time vs. money... the age-old tradeoff not just in this game but elsewhere throughout everyone's life. It's no-one's place to pass judgement on which avenue another takes. If you cannot afford multiple accounts through either means because you're short on both time and money, then that's just something you'll have to settle with your own self. |

As for the stopping ogb they said they would look into it but the code for them just to have an area of effect or being system wide is a little too complicated for them atm.... multiboxing is fine if someone can run more than one account good luck to them tbh, again this is something that isnt just bought but trained toons for and only certain people can do it.... so no pay to win here either
I don't know why people are so reluctant to admit Eve is pay to win. You can boost literally every aspect of your stats using real money. What generally makes it feel acceptable is that there's more risk attached to wearing a Snake set or flying a pirate frigate or using faction modules or having a 50mSP clone. Ogbs do seem to break that rule a bit if they're as hard to scan down as some have indicated.
If you want to share an opinion you know is based on incorrect assessments kindly do so with your main.
EVE is not p2w. For it to be that you will need to be able to pay IRL cash for something you can get for only IRL cash, and that alters your performance. This is not the case. Aurum only pays for cosmetic assets and ISK is fully earnable in-game and pays for everything else.
Using snake-implants? Not a problem, if you can pay for it. Just because some can and some can't don't mean those who do are paying to win - it simply means they have more/better assets in-game, and can STILL be killed by superior tactics and/or means by other players.
Faction gear - ISK and/or LP. 50million skillpoint character? You have to earn that or buy one for ISK if your lazy enough or don't have the time to train it to that state, and that toon can STILL be killed by others. Playing long enough to have any number of SP is not a crime - it's an achievement for playing a long time.
Off-Grid Boosters are not cheating either, so much as I'd live to think they are - you are not breaking any game-rules, though you are utilizing a mechanic that is completely idiotic, and I do hope we get to the point where any boosters have to be on the field, on grid, for the boost to take affect. You want to run your booster? By all means, but prepare to risk it in the combat you are going into, the idea that a frigate 1v1 is almost guaranteed in one guy's favor because he has OGB support is moronic in the extreme.

i thought it already does rule eve ? i mean its not like those "blobs" dont have OGB-¦s right now... the blob and fleet mechanics - cyno stuff especially - show the same basic concept even board games like axis & allies show. numbers beat great tactics and superior tactics and strategy all the time.
anyways back to the OGB and Pay2win.
it is true that more toons / clients run at the same time do provide an advantage. it is also true that it might feel like pay2win when th you just cant afford the second account and are not able to finance it through plex ....yet.
still, i know dozens of people that have more than one account (some upwards of five) and dont pay for a single one of them anymore.
jealous ? i know i am. but i dont whine about it. i have three accounts and happily pay for all of them. i consider them not to be a way to "beat the system" but to do what i enjoy in a more enjoyable way.
i , like others , would never try to multibox in a pvp situation. unless its a blob fight then its easy and takes no skill at all as the only thing you do is activate modules / press F1 sometimes.
i do respect those players that can dual- or even triplebox in pvp , although i have yet to see someone who does not suffer in effectiveness. still, three ships at 60-70% beat the crap out of one ship at 100%. is that cheating ? i dont think so.
the question i have to ask and i think that might be one of the points suggested in this thread somewhere down the line: how come that eve is the only MMO that i know of that openly promote having multiple accounts just to be able to compete or play better. and i dont mean twinks. I mean real alts on real different accounts to be able to be online at the same time.
of course the subscription numbers are on an alltime high right now. and rightfully so as eve is a great game. but, how come ccp never tells anyone how many real separate players / customers they actually have.
eve is almost a perfect niche and caters to that niche almost perfectly. and that niche favors dualbox, multi accounts. the rest (be it ongrid or offgrid, afk cloakies or cyno meachnaics, which suck) ist just minor details.

Dear all,
There has been some discussion on here - see my previous posts - about Multi-Boxing / Multi-Clients. Like I said - I run 4 accounts but have to interact with each client independantly by moving the mouse to each window. Some people on this thread have made a distinction between that and something called Multi-Boxing which they have alluded to being a system where instructions are sent to multiple clients simultaneously.
