 That Anathema loss yesterday must have really rustled your shorts Mr Phaade?
  
 Alts and multi-boxing are just another part of EVE. *shrug*
 
 You'll be ok! Get an alt and go get even.

I roleplay a lot with my main, and occasionally with alts, I love immersion-gaming. But my alts are generally kept for support tasks, or to give me the ability to have eyes/ears in more than one place at once. That doesn't effect or diminish my immersion whatsoever.
  
 Sometimes it's in fact all about ability. I rarely PVP with anything more than dual-box. I find it almost impossible to control and manage more than 2 ships in combat, not to mention I often need to buffer tank because again it's easier for me to manage ships than with active tanking while multiboxing.
 
 Mining stuff or shooting stationary objects? Sure I'll log in 5 or 6 accounts lol

 Along with more "fairness" it certainly would have ad an effect on anti-social behavior (like corp awoxing) and have generated more player interaction.
 
 
 I agree with you - it would have encouraged more cooperation between industrialists for one.
 
 But it is too late to change it, so we'll live with it. I only have one account and I am having fun anyway!

 50,000 users online, prob 20,000 are alts. maybe more.
 
 How does it drive away solo players? Have you ever multi-boxed PvP? That stuff is NOT EASY. In fact, it's a fantastic way to lose two ships instead of just one. So if you think a multiboxer has an advantage over you - do something unpredictable and chances are you'll throw him off balance and get a couple kill mails. As for multi-boxing for mining, etc, yeah, the m3 I make per hour is very large, but again, you need to average this out per account. Then it works out to exactly what you would make - a little bit more perhaps, because of better organization between hauling and mining, and none of my alts is going to steal my stuff, but not much of an advantage. Remember I pay for 7 subs. So the actual minerals per US dollar paid in subs is exactly what you will get. How is that unfair?  You might as well scream that life is unfair because I can afford more than you. Well, that's up to you. 
 Are you seriously measuring your epeen by the number of accounts you have subbed? Just so you know, you're as insignificant as the OP.

 I've got this one. I have 2 accounts, my CEO has 5 or more and other corp members have multiple as well. But! We have recently gained 3 new players as members, each of whom has one account, and none of them are frightened off by our evil multiple account conspiracy.

 You haven't proven that it is. You have made an assertion without providing a qualifyer to begin with, so I've nothing to disprove. Your assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
 
 But I'll bite. I am a single account holder and my experience on EVE, though only a little under 2 years old, has been quite fulfilling. I actually fought a multiboxer the other day, solo'd his Moa and Algos, and killed them both. You can look up my KB yourself, of course, to see how thoroughly fulfilling my single account experience has been.
 
 I would suggest that if your single account experience has been not fulfilling, you are either doing something wrong or playing the wrong game.

 IMO there's three types of players who're against multiboxing: Someone who keeps dying to what they suspect are multiboxers, or who's struggling to make income solo and resents watching multiboxers doing better. And then there's the people who dearly want to multibox but for w/e reason can't afford to do so and thus grow to resent those who can.
 
 Just like going solo, multiboxing is what you make it. That often differs from player to player.
 
 Advantage? **** I have more accounts than most people I play with yet I have the least ISK and am not that successful at PvP. Please explain to me this mythical advantage I have over others? An advantage that outweighs my financial investment?

 You seem pretty ignorant of any facts. Feel free to provide some though!
 
 A single player can massively improve their dps and abilities in pvp from multiboxing, the trade-off being that he is alot more vulnerable to changing situations.
 
 Given two equal fleets, one a multiboxer and one a group of individual pilots, i'd put my money on the group of individuals every time.
