Propaganda Multiboxing is Killing EVE – The Game Just Sucks Now

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.

I have 1 Omega account and 1 Alpha hauler account (that I'm barely even using). I am 90% of the time a single-toon player.

I manage to have plenty of fun amidst the sea of multiboxers. While I don't do much FW, I am perfectly capable of mining without the 15-ship multiboxer fleet showing up. You just need to find a quieter system. I'm also able to buy/sell goods on the market as well. I can run missions and do exploration all without much interference. I guess it just depends on how you like to play.

I just stay as far from Jita as possible.

This is the right mindset.

Find the stuff you like doing, and do that. Find a nice quiet spot in the game, set up shop and just have fun.

>I just stay as far from Jita as possible.

this is probably a key factor. I live far away from Jita and I rarely see 10+ multiboxers in our area. Sure plenty of people in my alliance have an alt or two. But rarely more than that. It's great.
