@CCP - in 2013 the use of multiplexing programs to multiplex(Simultaneous input to multiple client windows) was banned from eve online. Myself and other players have reported the same multiplexer for weeks, with no action taken by CCP. This is NOT a difficult issue to detect. You have multiple accounts attached to the same IP address, all entering commands within miliseconds of one another. This is an easily scriptable/detectable exploit. So why is this sitting in limbo? Why are certain players being allowed to break the rules, while others obey them.
Either A.) Put in the effort to stop people from multiplexing, or B.) Just allow everyone to do it.
I honestly don't care which option is chosen, but it's very frustrating to follow the rules while watching those that don't get away with it. I have reported 42 different accounts to [email protected] in the last week. Yet no action has been taken. What's the deal? |

It's not a matter of 'running the accounts'. I could run 20+ clients as well. But could you within 1 second, have all 5 of those accounts lock the same target and fire? How about 10-20 accounts? It's fairly obvious when someone is multiplexing vs just dual/triple boxing. |

Only thing you can do is what you already have. It's up to CCP as to how they want to handle it or even if anything needs to be done. Report it and move on, but getting huffy about it on the forums is not only more a waste or your time but also borderline against the rules in and of itself. All this does is encourage more people to do this as it makes it appear that they can easily get away with it since "CCP doesn't seem to care," while it might just be that they simply haven't hit every step yet.
As I said in my original post, I really don't care if players multiplex or not. Personally I would like the ability to do it myself in fact. I however do care if CCP is going to make rules, then enforce them only sometimes. From the cases I've seen it seems like multiplexing miners on twitch get banned, and multiplexing HS freighter gankers do not. It has been well over a month of this activity from this specific player. It does not take a month to review log files.
I also can completely understand that CCP has a finite amount of resources at its disposal. So if the answer is "we don't have the time", then change the rules to allow mutliplexing, and let all players be equal. |

Obligatory: IBTL Well thought out contribution to the discussion Jacky. Vampires have their familiars, Pimps have their hoes, Dog owners have their bitches, and Codies have their licence holders.... There is nothing to contribute to the "discussion" In the OP's first thread ISD Max Trix posted: "Closed, If they are botting etc, CCP will handle it after conducting an investigation." That shouldn't be so hard too understand, even for a special snowflake like you. But hey, as it most likely seems, filing a effing ticket is a foreign concept to the OP.
Yeah but my point here is CCP isn't doing anything about it. They aren't "handling" it.
