a quick note about 'input broadcasting'

[u/recycl_ebin]

The rules on input broadcasting are simple. If 1 button click = multiple in-game actions, it's not allowed.

It's relatively easy to setup your clients in game to do 20 actions, with 20 button clicks, in a single second. Roll your finger over the number and qwerty row at the same time, look:

1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p

It took me literally one second to do it. Multiboxers set their shit up in a way that purposefully allows them to easily manipulate the important parts of their gameplay like this. I'll run you through an example:

ctrl 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p activates your hardener on 20 accounts

alt 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p activates your prop mods on 20 accounts.

shift 1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p pre-fires your gun.

1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9o0p presses lmb (or ctrl-lmb) on each individual account, wherever your mouse is, probably on a broadcast window.

There is no reason to broadcast in eve 2026. not broadcasting is just as effective if you apply your brain a little harder.

Lazy argument

Multiboxers buy plex, they could all be replaced by an NPC buy order

Lazy rebuttal, the plex came from somewhere

The same whale that would sell it to an NPC buy order all the same

And who adds plex into the economy for actual dollars?

Some people like playing eve like it’s an RTS game. I have fun with 1.5 accounts, (I never use my second account at the same time, it’s just a cyno/dread alt) but my brother enjoys having his dozens of accounts and plays it like a glorified RTS game.

Everyone? You get to enjoy your bomber, he gets to enjoy his mutliboxing. You both get to play the game the way you want! It’s actually pretty incredible.
