That line is so ambiguous. It doesn't mention multiple accounts so technically, if I click buttons really fast to mission faster than a 'normal' player am I too breaking the EULA? What a load of rubbish. Surely the spirit of that rule is to not 'cheat' by using a robot/macro/automation to play for you - playing 14 clients at once takes some skill in it's own right.
To the OP: Nice work, that must have taken some setting up? Also, I loled at the 4 bits of wood with marker pen on amongst all the technical wizardry :)
It's not ambiguous at all. If he indeed has those mice tied together for synchronised control over multiple accounts at the same time for the same coordinated actions, he has an inherent and non native advantage over other players, regardless of whether single or multi account user. Regardless of PVE or PVP, his actions are by design accelerated over those of any other player who does not have such synchronised control over all of his clients at the same time.
See second to last paragraph for the important stuff.
^^ This is why it is unfair. I have a setup that allows me to view and control six clients on one computer, but I can only perform actions on one client because I only have one mouse, keyboard and cursor. The OP is cheating he is able to perform multiple actions simultaneously, he has an unfair advantage over me which is clearly against the rules.
If this were not against the rules then I would be doing it too. But since it is, the OP is cheating and deserves to be punished for his actions which are harmful to the game.
If he were to use a single mouse and keyboard along with software like synergy, input director or teleport to allow control of multiple PCs non concurrently I would approve.
All that said everything pertinent to weather these actions are breaking the rules or not is mostly irrelevant as rules are subject to interpretation. The only interpretation that is important is that of CCP. I would like to hear in this thread weather CCP thinks the OP is cheating and breaking the rules.
I also applaud the efforts the OP has made, impressive setup!
