- Are you for or against Input Duplication in EVE Online

- Are you for or against the various tools listed above (ISBoxer, AutoHotKey, mutli button keyboards etc)

Against. It provides significant in-game bonuses to people based upon their computer hardware, and allows some rather degenerate actions. One example is the two members of my own alliance, who, in a quest to get ISBoxer banned, set up terror squads of 8 suicide gank catalysts. This was a broken use of the mechanic and caused large losses to a small number of individuals. Just as pernicious is the 30+ ship mining operations that use ISBoxer to flood the mineral market, causing small losses to large numbers of players.


- Should players be able to control multiple accounts in EVE Online, if so, should their be a limit?

- A CCP spokesperson recently stated that he would like to see EVE being brought to 1 Person = 1 Pilot, I am assuming along the lines of games lik Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen.  Your thoughts?

Multiple manually controlled accounts are 100% fine with me. Yes they provide an advantage but it's not nearly as overwhelming as the advantage of imput broadcasting. Multiboxing manually is also too big a part of EVE's history and too many people are too invested in multiboxing setups to change this.


- If CCP does decide to limit mulitboxing in EVE (which it appears they have started to) would game design changes make more sense vs. banning players or do you feel this is a correct path for them to currently follow.


I don't feel limiting multiboxing is on CCP's agenda, largely for revenue reasons. Addressing the balance issues of ISBoxer may have affected a few thousand accounts funded purely through PLEX (which are now mostly sold to different end consumers); changing manual multiboxing would likely cost them hundreds of thousands of alt accounts many funded through hard currency.
