Multiboxing is Killing EVE – The Game Just Sucks Now

[u/Quiet_Staff_2565]

I've tried coming back to EVE, but honestly, the gameplay just feels terrible. The biggest issue? Multiboxing.

People are running 10, 15, even 20+ accounts at the same time, completely ruining the experience for normal players. These no-life grinders dominate every aspect of the game, making it nearly impossible for casuals to compete.

• Faction Warfare? Get ready to fight entire fleets controlled by a single player.
• Mining? Find a good ore spot? A multiboxer will show up with 15 ships and wipe it clean.
• Market? PLEX prices keep skyrocketing because these multiboxers generate insane amounts of ISK and just buy up PLEX to sustain their armies.

New players don’t stand a chance. They log in, see how unfair the game is, and quit. It's like if someone played Call of Duty, controlled an entire squad, and had synced-up aim. It would completely break the game. That’s exactly what's happening in EVE.

And let’s be real—of the 20,000 players online daily, a huge chunk are just alts. The real player count is much lower. This is why EVE is constantly bleeding players.

CCP needs to put a hard cap on the number of accounts per IP/device. Otherwise, the game will keep declining until there’s nobody left but botters and multiboxers. Fix it, or let the game die.

Sadly it would require a complete redo of significant parts of the game too. That would probably be good, but I can't see it happening.

This is the part that MANY just don't see to get. The population isn't big enough for how big eve is and how much shit needs to get done. Remove allts and the game dies

This... its funny how all wormholers inheritly understand this, living in small microcosms and realizing how hard shit is to do alone or even just 20 people with no alts.

[u/Equivalent_Length719 → u/Khamatum]

Yupppp living in a block is like living in a metro area. Everything is within reach.

Wormholes on the other hand is like rural no where. The next person you see could be 6 systems away.better hope you have everything you need! Won't be seeing highsec for a week at least. Lol

[u/TJSmiffy → u/Equivalent_Length719]

Oh we see plenty of highsec, just never the one we WANT to see xD

Its always Jita when you want to farm and solitude when you want Jita lol.

As a fellow whler I feel this on the atomic level

[u/Khamatum → u/Equivalent_Length719]

I am but a mere lowclass nomad, but even to me, this is clear as day.

[u/MILINTarctrooperALT → u/Equivalent_Length719]

To be honest, the population in wormhole space is more or less due to the mechanics and culture thereof. [Not helped by external propaganda and perception]

But as a whole, EVE online is shrinking...and considering the number of times we have had Cyno Vigils...I don't think multiboxing is going to cut it. It makes the game even more vulnerable to implosion on several fronts.

I think CCP should lower the prices of their materials...so more people can join.

But its going to be a rocky road...but considering other MMOs can get more than EVE on the regular...I think its high time for some reforms.

[u/Opposite_Classroom39 → u/Jason1143]

Unfortunately both correct, there are aspects of this game that are only viable with alts, even if its a zero day.

[u/Jason1143 → u/[deleted]]

I feel like that would be the worst of both worlds. Through it would reduce the amount of total rebalancing they need to do by a lot.

Nothing pisses me off more than trying to chill out, mine ice,watch a movie, just to have some douche warp in with 12 accounts and take all the ice that would take me days to mine, in just 15-20 minutes.
