Something is destroying the Default economy. The effects are real. The question is: what's the cause?
I haven't seen one person provide solid evidence that it's multiboxing or multiloading or whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-the-technique. It could be the case, but it's more than a little speculative.
I haven't seen one person provide solid evidence that it's not multi-whatever-the-fuck. Actually, proving it isn't seems impossible unless the economy was doing just fine; as long as there's economic destruction, it could be some unknown dudes running all kinds of bots with tons of accounts registered, and there's really no way to prove otherwise. Like vampires and La Chupacabra, no matter how unlikely, you can't really disprove them. However, the inability to disprove a point doesn't mean that the point is worth believing in the first place; evidence is still required, and setting the bar at "look at the economy!" is probably too low to consider ourselves intellectually honest.
I think everyone needs to take a step back and think more rationally about this, starting with focusing more on the real issue -- the effects on the economy -- and less on the hypothetical cause du jour.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
