    Remember the Erotica1 scandal? Please tell me what it had to do with "playstyle"
    EvE devs started noticing around 2006 that multiple accounts enabled griefers and sociopaths, and ofc those accounts had to be funded ($ for CCP!). Devs did not address gameplay issues that allowed multiboxing, but instead, started to promote "Power of 2", effectively giving the signal that in order to compete in EvE, you had to buy multiple accounts and fund them, whether through RL money (easier and much faster) or grinding (and someone had to buy those PLEX anyway with RL money)
    They cleverly understood that there was a niche in MMOs for griefers and anonymity-protected online sociopaths. EvE caters to them, but it goes much deeper than this.
    Single shard -> high stakes because of reputation etc, so players take things at heart, and are ready to spend good money just to prevail in game.
    Cue out-of-game money deals, so ingame player entities get harrassed, or don't get harrassed...
    Plus the money laundering...
    EvE is a cesspool, last thing DU needs is an input of its inhabitants
    But as DU won't enable multiboxing because its gameplay is far from utter garbage, something tells me all the tryhards, RMT scoundrels and money launderers will stay in the containment universe known as New Eden.

    Please tell me which kinds of competition exist in which you can clone yourself so you can multiply force just by cheesing a gameplay-wise deficient system
    For example, in EvE: throwaway free accounts as static scouts on gates + offgrid booster + support (healer) + gank ships, all of which can  be manned by a single person
    Some other person jumps in, using a single account, and gets "competitioned", LOL
    Praytell, where is the competition?
    Protip: competition requires a level playfield. I suppose you know about sports. Are the teams usually equal in numbers?
    "B...b... but it's war in space! Everything goes when in war! Cheap tricks!"
    Oh but I thought it was merely an internet game?
    Do you want to talk about the RMT going on in EvE, which also fuels the unending quest for borderline exploits and maximum cheese?

    Ex-2003 EvE player here. Was in beta as well. Anyone remember Corybantic?
     
    The last thing this game needs is an influx of EvE players, as it has been since about 2006, when people started to think that meta mind games and plain anonymity-enabled griefing - the kind of which sad creatures such as Lofty29 industrialized - a sociopathy simulator, in which finding every bordeline exploit and abusing game mechanics just to reap Schadenfreude, is seen as skill.
     
    Reminder: UO was ruined and Trammelized because of griefers
