Hello all,
I just wanted to bring something to light and hear your views on the legality of this piece of software as regards the eve EULA.
I ask you all to Watch this tutorial from start to end
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RBRp9GEji4Eand then tell me that this DOESN'T break the rules set out in the EULA, specifically :
Quote :
"6. CONDUCT
A. Specifically Restricted Conduct
2. You may not use your own or third-party software to modify any content appearing within the Game environment or change how the Game is played.
3. You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game.

")
Never mind the fact that you can position windows so that modules on your ships like Guns and shields can all be activated on multiple accounts simultaneously and with just a single click.
I raised a petition with Customer Support and the best they could do was direct me to the forums,
**** Edited GM convo out of this post at advice of another member ****
So it would seem that CCP encourage people to break the rules.
I have to ask myself the question - I wonder how many people are using this software, and if it's large, organised corporations that are doing so.........
Imagine how a fleet of 20 miners under control of IS boxer could affect the local market mineral prices,
Imagine how a fleet of PvP ships could take down your T3 ship if you didn't have to alt tab all the while or even worse, you have two gangs of tacklers IS boxing to keep your ship jammed/scrammed etc while the rest of the fleet guns you down.
This software should be banned - It breaks the mechanics of the game and it's clearly cheating.
But that's my View.
What's yours ?
