if it's so obvious, where is your irrefutable proof that every person that owns that many accounts is involved in RMT?

also, there's a sadistic joy to be had in running a fleet of ships that log in after DT and strip a 20 belt system in a few hours to deny every one else in the system any ore. especially when you see how many "change asteroid respawn timer" threads there have been in the last few days, each one considerably worse than the last.

because multiboxing actually requires you to be playing the game, and provide an input?

quick guys, logging in requires an input! ban logging in!

why not? he's contributing the same subscription fee as 50 people.
if he shouldn't be allowed to do the same as 50 people, with his 50 accounts, then there's no way he should be paying the same as 50 people's subscriptions for those 50 accounts.

really? i'm talking about a multibox program, in a thread about multiboxing?
shocking.

well, you know what they say about assuming things.

Well then, I might aswell assume that everyone that wants multiboxing banned is a botter.

Why don't you post with your main so I can come gank you, *****.

I'm fairly sure Dave was one of the ex-bob Mackinaws I petitioned about 1-2 years ago, again and again, for botting in an ice belt and being very obvious about it.

You cann't simply ban multiboxers, CCP stated that multiboxing is allowed when there is no automation of input, also they stated, that multiboxers should not use huge macro commands and etc.

Mining is just hit F1, F2, F3 and throw ore from cargo to container, there is no automation but this removes annoyance of doing same inputs.

Even if CCP would do so this would cause another players decreasing, even more than every patch makes. BECAUSE NOONE would continue to pay, if he cann't manage his accounts like before.

If you think that this is automation - then we should also permaban gankers, since they also automate their "job".
Ganking is nearly same as mining - you have got control char, you have got slaves, slaves should do some set of operation( okay it's just two for gankers - warp to and f1).

Also we should permaban everyone who made second pilot for self, HE is potential multiboxer! BAN!

This topic is growing, and i cann't understand why CCP didn't close it.

It can be done with or with out software such as ISboxer because it ultimately is not automation & still requires player input. Botting can't be done with out software & is fully automated by design.

It's not automated, because it require a person to push the button. It's it was automated the process would continue, without someone stilling at the keyboard.

Agreed. With cheats, there is no skill involved. I can run 6 accounts just fine without any 3rd party programs. Learn to play, if you want to multibox, nooblets!

you know how to nerd rage, but don't understand elementary mathematics while claiming to understand programming, you clearly are the one how should decide how gets to post on the forum.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that we could all solo gank boobiq over here, because we're all evil multiboxers who use key broadcasting to gank with our army of tornados.

Automation is not when your action is cause of allowed game action, even if you sent that action to multiple clients.

When you use meta actions (which gives you advantage) you break EULA. Meta action is when your action cause queue of allowed game actions occur. No matter if you use single or multiple clients. THIS IS AUTOMATION.

Please discuss this topic without resorting to personal insults!

I agree.


Software that allows you to connect multiple clients to a single keystroke shouldn't be allowed.

If CCP is going to allow stuff like that, then they should build it into EVE.

This includes complex macros from mice and keyboards.
I could have swore that it was posible for developers to block LUA commands given from things like G15's or something? I know I've played other online games and the game would get all wonky whenever I used a macro key.


However, it would be foolish to do this now. I'm pretty sure that after 10 years of allowing people to multibox in a game that actually promotes the purchase of more accounts for alts, the amount of revenue they would lose if they enforced a rule like this could quite possible end them.

Does anyone think that only a really small portion of the playerbase uses this kind of stuff?
After many, many years of watching people in mining belts I feel confident saying that software that allows you to connect multiple clients is used on a rather regular basis.


They should make it a native ability of the client.
