I'm not trying to make any solid or firm plans right this second for post Jan 1 stuff.
I'm waiting until after I have the chance to sit down and talk this over with CCP (along with all of you guys and as many multiboxers as possible coming along).
It's pretty pointless to make any definite decisions as to how we're going to adapt to these changes until we know exactly what CCP intends.
I can definitely speculate, and say that I think we'll be ok with swapping between chars (similar to alt tab) and using videofx setups, but I can't know for certain until we speak with CCP.
I appreciate you specifically saying no badmouthing CCP - this is the kind of attitude we need right now. CCP has already agreed to talk with us, and I've assured them it will be a respectful discussion and that we'll be very happy and grateful to hear from them.
Right now, best thing is for us to keep our discussions and speculation WITHIN the multiboxer community until we speak with CCP. Everyone needs to chill out and stop raging at CCP in public. Feel free to debate people and correct misinterpretations of the uninformed on what isboxing is (hurr durr isboxing is super easy just pres butan and print isk - no it's not, it's a lot more than that) but don't discuss the changes (or specific ways to get around them) or rage at CCP.
We WILL be discussing ALL the ways we can still multibox with CCP at said meeting. Trying to hide certain parts will simply result in CCP's eventual discovery of them down the road, resulting in even more changes. We don't want this, and we don't want CCP to think we're intentionally living in a grey area or trying to circumvent the rules.
Best way to move forward is to be on even terms with CCP in regards to what we do and how we fit into the game. Multiboxing has a long history with EVE, and CCP DID explicitly state that multiboxing is still allowed in their post. We know CCP is ok with it at least on a basic level. We just need to know how far they're ok with it, or what their intentions are.
If you have a problem with the moderators on this forum then feel free to speak to them directly rather than complain about it publicly.
