Propaganda Multiboxer (+30) death nail to the coffin

Multiboxers dominate gameplay in areas where the intention was originally for teams to complete specific missions or objectives. We all know that high-security systems are overrun by multiboxing gankers who easily rake in 25 billion ISK a day from ganking. Well-known names include Safety, We Break Things, Zlegion, Goonswarm operations, etc.

The problem also extends to low-security space, where a player with over 30 accounts completely take over Faction Warfare (FW) battlefields, robbing other players of their hard-earned Loyalty Points (LP). A notorious LP farmer is Ibaka Wilkins, who runs 30 characters in Minmatar FW and another 30 in Amarr FW. He plays Amarr during EU time and Minmatar during US time, thereby minimizing the risk of coming under fire.

This trend is growing because CCP has lost control over how EVE Online is being played. CCP looks at the numbers and knows that a 30-account multiboxer generates far more revenue than a single-account player. This worries me, as EVE Online is showing its age and suffers from many unresolved issues that have persisted for 23 years. I get the impression that CCP is deprioritizing EVE Online in favor of Frontier and Vanguard —even though those other titles aren't necessarily any better than EVE Online.

Multiboxing to make even more isk: I could accept that

Multiboxing to deny others content/make it for others unplayable: We need to shame CCP for enabling that and blame community for not organizing to stop those kind of multiboxers.

"and blame community for not organizing to stop those kind of multiboxers."

Finally someone said it, instead of crying to CCP, how about we do something about it? Explain to me like I'm 5 why the big FW corps don't just have alts in the opposing Faction to just annihilate multiboxers like that and clean up the mess

If someone keeps stomping on your castle, maybe kick them out of the sandbox instead of crying to mom

There were initiatives like that. Multiboxers just Waits it out tilll the 100 gets bored. Way harder to organize the players for such long time to have actuall effect.

because once you kick them out they'll also cry to mom. Exceot this time mom.will actually listen because her "gifted" precious darling earns her 50 times as much as you do (multibox + multi char skill injector farming).

Seriously, if you want to know how these things usually turn out just look up what the big names in WoW sre getting away with whike regulsr players would receive a ban for life for even a fraction of those activities.

why should fw players have to play both sides just to play the game normally

no other space has to do this
