Edited by: Intar Medris on 30/06/2010 17:54:11 The sure shot way to stop all bot players is to eliminate said option from the client. Since macroers are the only ones who have reason to use it. A reason may I remind is against EULA.
Also to prevent a counter on this make to where the game closes if you access your desktop,and have a built in function the automatically flags accounts active for a average period of time that is super human. You mean to tell me you can't tell if someone is botting if they are active for 23 hours a day, and log on at 12:00 UTC everyday on the dot.

You really didn't think this through did you?
Not supported! Without windowed mode I can't easily flip between my 2 running clients (which aren't Macro) and this wonderful forum.

1) macros don't care if you are in windowed mode or not;
2) a lot of regular players play in windowed mode;
3) removing the option to access desktop will make impossible to access vent/teamspeak after entering the game and plenty of other useful tools;
4) removing the option to access desktop will make impossible to run 2+ account at the same time, something that plenty of players do, that will give them reason to cancel the secondary accounts, thus hurting CCP.
So your idea will cure nothing and damage CCP.

Even my 73 year old mother knows how to alt+tab between applications. This really is a terrible idea. The only reason to read posts in ôThe Assembly Hallö is to have a good laugh at them.

Tunnel vision much? A lot of dual screen people would be negatively affected by this brainfart of yours. I run my client on one screen, and my browser / comms on the other. Windowed mode allows me to easily switch between my client and the peripheral programs I run, without the bulky minimization / maximization.

When I first saw this thread i thought "**** OFF!"
But then I thought to myself that might be a bit harsh and decided to actually read your thread.
My response now after considering your argument is....
**** OFF! you moronic idiot!
I hope this criticism will assist you in your future forum endeavorers in the hope that next time you decide to share with us another of your brilliant ideas.....you don't.

Here we go again... A guy that thinks that he's the center of this game and wants to eliminate all options that he isn't using.
There are computer configurations where you MUST use windowed mode or your client will crash VERY frequently. Now back to your troll cave... go on... shoo... |

Originally by: Intar Medris [ Also to prevent a counter on this make to where the game closes if you access your desktop,
So if you alt+tab to open your second client the first will close; if you alt tab to open vent the client will close; and so on.
Please next time read what I am commenting.

NO WAY! Some people actually have 2 screens. Its ineffective as hell to scout in full screen mode, when you can just throw it in windowed mode and have both ships up and ready to move. Before you tell me to have a friend scout for me: Who would do something as boring as that while the rest gets the fun fight you worked for and only get to see?

The most obvious group this would hurt is the roaming gang, who almost always tends to use Ventrilo or Teamspeak due to EVE Voice's general insufficiency for fleet ops (Inability to adjust volumes easily, user limit in large fleets, inability to have multiple groups easily). Another group this would hurt is the legitimate miner. Mining, especially ice mining, is tedious and boring, and most miners I know will either be running Vent to talk to each other while mining or will be running Firefox to browse forums and websites while waiting for the cycle to finish. The Orca pilot, who isn't doing anything at all, is especially likely to do this assuming he's not an alt.
What group doesn't this hurt? Macroers. Why? They would invent ways around it very quickly, since they don't care too much about following the rules of the game as it is.
TL;DR - Bad idea is bad.

It's official. There really is no half-baked idea that people won't try and sell with "It will stop macroers!", is there?

2)Supported (sort of, the timer at least), and has been suggested multiple times. CCP doesn't care (as far as we can tell).

Fail.
As much as I would prefer to play on full screen (lord knows we need all the screen space we can muster with the UI), I find window mode is ultimately the most practical...and I don't even own any alts.
