Our multiboxing opinions bounty has just been awarded. There are some really interesting answers there that we'd love to turn into a piece of curated content. The general consensus seems to be that it can be problematic but for the most part it's either a good and/or legitimate thing. Let's take a poll to find out if the silent majority agrees:

Puh, its the nature DNA Code of eVe to have kind of multiboxing.
We already limited the Boradcast input, so you actually manhandle every client on your own.
So this best mix up we have right now.
Every alt is another paying subscription :)
Alt for multi-box! Plex for good! Praise the CCP!
Do I want a scout or Cyno alt? yes. Do I want someone multi-boxing 20 Eos to kill me? No...
For PvE where the harm is "limited", sure, why not; have a few accounts and go wild. For PvP when you potentially gain considerable advantages through not having to coordinate with anyone else, and can even engage in hisec ganking, it feels like some kinda of limit may be better?
Not knocking the skill of the multiboxers though, some of them are very, very impressive. I just feel that sometimes the advantages outweigh the costs/difficulties a bit much.
That said, I'm saying all of this from the perspective of someone who runs one account at a time due to being faaaaar too stupid to handle more than that!
Great comment, I missed this. We'll be sure to include it when we write up our piece on multiboxing!
