HE might play for free but the accounts are paid as he consumes at least 97 PLEX each month.

as a fan of irony, I'll just leave this here insidious mining fleet

now this is clearly not an identical situation, but you are definitely living in a glass house while throwing rocks

The dscan, while not rock solid proof, shows that you likely have several multiboxers in your own back yard. This leads to the question of how many is to many in your opinion

From my only point of view it's just nonsense : I don't catch the fun of having to deploy so much hardware/software just to earn isks ? IMO it's not relaxing, it's mental illness such like obsessional disease to multibox 97 accounts.

To summarize : I don't care : I played EVE 9 years with more or less no boredom, I doubt this guy will ever hurt anyone : he is too busy for isks...

I would not be surprised if one day the guy would get perma banned for ultra-massive RMT. He's doing all the prerequisites in a most professional way.

I would not be surprised if CCP would reward him with unique ships and set his in game status as "fansite" as well, that'd be so consequent to what they are doing with SOMER

Its safe to say that managing around ~20 planets can burn you out, that you'll think really hard about training PI ever again.

Why does uber-multi client setup automatically guarantee RMT? Why can't he like making obscene amounts of ISK through obscene amounts of clients for no other reason than to Scrooge McDuck it all?

How can a Character in EVE become a fansite? A fansite is, by very definition, a WEBsite. Not an EVE Avatar.

Something else I noticed is that he's playing this pretty smart. if he has 97 accounts for multiboxing, he only ever has half of them on the field at once. So even if he gets ganked and for some reason had 0 ISK in any of the accounts for some ******* reason, he'd still half the other half of his fleet to make money for replacements.

This comment made me curious. Sure enough, The Wis' spirit cannot be broken.

I am a hiseccer carebear & miner, and I want to thank you for the service delivered to this community against that despicable multiboxer.

#alreadyreplaced

How many players would complain if this guy was in their corp/alliance and donated 50% of his profits to a pvp ship reimbursement program? He could move to null and fund a corp this way just to protect him while he mines.

I am not saying this behaviour is desirable.

Multiboxing this many accounts is a bit over the top. Perhaps CCP should change it's stance on tools like ISBoxer?

I have a feeling eventually the Rule-Hammer is going to come down on this BS sometime within the next year.

Nevertheless since it is legal at the moment we can't blame this guy for pushing the limits of what is allowed.

At ~$1455 a month to run 97 accounts, I highly doubt this person has no life. First of all, there's no indication that this person is spending vast quantities of time running them. In fact, it's quite obvious that they want to spend as little time mining as possible, hence 97 accounts. Additionally, to be able to afford that kind of money, you at least need to have a job. Or be a very successful criminal. At either rate, that does not really qualify as having no life.

However, I digress. Your point here, of course, is "this person is doing something I don't like, therefore I'm going to be as vindictive as possible." A word of advice - accusing someone of having no life is not an insult. At best, it's a statement of fact if the person you're addressing actually feels like their life lacks substance. However, if someone plays video games all day and feels that gives their life all the substance it needs, then they do, indeed, have a life. They are living it the way they enjoy it.

"No life" is such a subjective turn of phrase. It's like accusing someone of being selfish because they choose not to have children. Almost 100% of the time, both instances merely indicate jealousy.

Also, what Kate said.

What the hell?

Obviously anyone running more than 3 accounts is paying by PLEX. What other reason is there to multibox anyway? Do you really think someone would be ice mining for fun? With 97 accounts? Seriously... LOL? Not at all my friend, its the ISK obsession what is imperating here (as most of times with multiboxers)

I personally get nervous and overwhelmed when running more than 2 accounts. I can't imagine what a miserable experience would be "playing" with more than 5 accounts. 97... seriously something is wrong here but CCP makes a lot of money (via PLEX you know) so thats fine.

I guess that dude is planning to get massive amounts of ISK and then shutting down most of those accounts and do something more "productive" both for himself and the galaxy.

This asshattery would never happen outside of highsec.




Yes, that was a stealth NERF HIGHSEC comment.

Nevertheless since it is legal at the moment we can't blame this guy for pushing the limits of what is allowed. Same way we shouldn't blame SOMER for legal RMT.

Interesting he sets to orbit one ship. It would be...interesting, if that single ship were ganked. All those mining ships, flying off in all different directions. Whee!

HAHA, It's The Wis!

Good to know he's still playing EVE.

I have nothing against The Wis, or his like, but CCP please nerf hisec so ISBOXERS can't affect the EVE economy like this.
