Can you make 25bil in 40 hours? But it is okay to farm with Moon Mining 25bil a month just by doing 1-2 hours logistic movements? At least he spend 40 hours to earn the ISK.
That's something completely different, you have to actually own the space that moon is in, defend it if it's being contested etc
not something that one person can do.
Additionally: that's not all going to one person. |

How about this. If someone who multi-boxes with ISboxer using 8+ boxes can make a video of themselves using the same amount of boxes just as well without using ISboxer, doing anything that requires shooting guns, I will admit ISboxer is not a problem.
All I want is two videos. One with ISboxer, one without, doing the same activity with the same amount of boxes (8+).
If it really is just as easy to multibox without ISboxer, than this should be no problem.

All 3 of those items can be purchased and activated at a later date so save the economics rhetoric. PLEX equates to money that CCP collected in the past. Buying PLEX increases the demand, but that doesn't necessarily increase the supply - let alone directly equate to paying CCP money. I hate over complicated economic nonsense more than the next guy, but this is a pretty fundamental thing you can't assume. You can buy single PLEX directly from CCP. OK? We were talking about someone buying it off the market with ISK to renew their subscription,
Some people buy all thier game time from CCP and not with PLEX from the market. See Charadrass (spelling) post on the first page for example. |

You don't need that much. All you need is the owner/maker of the game to tell you that it's ok.
CCP said it's ok and it's their game, end of story.

Sure, If one of the owners says its okay and that is a official statement from CCP, not a GM, then I might accept it. Until then we, as players, will consider it a exploit, equal with botting. |

I'm totally cheating because I send billions from my industry alt to my PvP alt.
Ban me CCP I'm making my PvP character gain Isk at an ill proportionate rate.
And honestly another great reason to fix the war dec system. It would be exceedingly simple to kill someone running 10 clients in an incursion. Eve is Real |

An industial alt isn't a incursion problem.
But I agree, it could be totally awesome if whoever got wardec'ed would keep, say killrights on them, once they left the corp/alliance which got wardec'ed. Just for 48 hours or so |

Truthfully I don't understand the dislike of other people using it. I'd use it if it were less tedious but when i double and triple box I just use ships with FoF missiles or sentries to support my main ship. An ex-corp mate of mine from when i was briefly in TEST multiboxed 10 nagas while ratting. I think it's pretty cool to be able to do that. I don't see what the big deal is.

If you want to stop the ISBoxer's CCP put a mechanic in place to do exactly that. It's called the bounty system place a bounty in excess of 100bill on each box, when a gank kills his ship worth 5 to 6 billion they get paid. When you include the possible drop it makes the ganks profitable even with a worse case scenario.
And as the Incursion runner is pretty easy to locate and prone to making bad decisions in regard to safety the 100 bil should be good for 3 to 8 gank's pirates will love you ISboxers will hate you and EVE will balance itself out again; Everyone's happy, well except the boxer. |

You seem to think I have a problem with multiboxing. I don't. ISBoxer allowes you to control multiple toons through only accually controling one. Therefor, the effort v. reward ballance is broken, making it too easy to control 10+ boxes. |

It's not an unfair advantage. CCP tolerates isboxer, which means not only is it not cheating, you can do it too if you please.
Isboxer dones't modify the EVE process (executable) so it's legal. Again, you can think it's unfair all you like, I don't. Niether your opinon or mine means anything, the maker/owner of the game says it's ok.

CCP cannot currently -detect- isboxer cheaply - they have to analyse the actions of many accounts to do so. IMO if isboxed fleets keep turning up in ganks, then its only a matter of time before the policy changes.
It is already difficult to explain to other gamers why I have a second account, with a gate/cyno scout, a booster/prober/salvager/miner and a market alt, and why my desire to pay that extra money and run that second account is not already reflecting poor game design and pay to win.
If it appears to people wanting to trial the game that they risk PVPing 1v10, where the 10 belong to 1 other player, then they won't trial the game because it appears to be completely pay to win. ie the people drawing attention to isboxer by ganking with it, are going to get it banned you can be sure of that.

I have a power of 2 account, that is and never has been an issue. I also don't care if people have 5 accounts. I also don't care if a fleet has both a logi and a dps run by the same person, and that fleet engages my fleet, which may or may not also have a dps and logi run by the same person.
All I'm pointing out is that in the real world the fact that I perceived the power of 2 account necessary in 2009, and still necessary today, is the kind of thing that people outside the game perceive as a reason not to play - and I've first hand sampled those reactions.
I can assure you if it becomes well known outside the game that people are using isboxer fleets to PVP with, that will further negatively influence peoples desire to trial the game, because whether you percieve it to be cheating or not, the average person who doesn't play the game, will not want to trial the game if thats what they face. Skillpoints alone are viewed as unfair by many people starting the game. |

You evidently don't understand the bounty system, but w/e A far better solution would be for CCP to make PVE less brain-dead. The bounty pays out a percentage based on the value of the ship killed and the amount of the bounty. Currently 10 to 14 Nados can kill an Incursion Machariel, Meaning a little over 1 billion invested will net the loot of a 4-6 billion ISK killmail. If the bounty was 100bil then the payout from bounty and possible loot drop would make the 'Shiny ISBoxer Incursion runner' the first choice for gankers (I imagine them being preferred even more than the old Mining Barges).
Making the PVE less brain-dead did not solve the problem last year, so I am pretty sure it won't solve the problem this year either. Last year making Incursion sites tougher, was met with Wine&Cheese forum threads that lasted for months till CCP dialled back the difficulty, now we have the ISBoxer fleets doing the 'most difficult' PVE in sites that last year would have eaten their fleet and left nothing but a field of pods. |

All PLEXGÇÖs are directly of indirectly from CCP No PLEX on the market was created without CCP getting paid. And the money goes to CCP.

Well, Byerley. So this is where you scuttled off to after I chased you out of GD. I see you still don't understand economics either.
If you buy and activate a PLEX, to resub your account, it is functionally indistinct from simply paying it. It's preferable to CCP in fact, since a PLEX costs $20 and an account resub costs $15. The changing of hands of who purchased the timecard is also irrelevant. As far as it matters, the person activating the PLEX is paying for their account.
Also, if you actually take the time to track it, the supply of PLEX is actually pretty constant, so yes, the supply will refresh itself. It's pretty basic stuff if you just have a clue what you're talking about.

Never going to happen. There are better things to spend dev time on than missions.
Anyway, to get back on topic. ISBoxer is legal mostly because it does not perform a series of actions based on programming, merely multiplying your clicking ability. Since the same thing can be done with multiple monitors and a lot of alt tabbing, CCP does not view it as botting.
And since it's not botting, they quite rightly do not care. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

Exactly, it's "pretty constant". You have precisely 0 non-anecdotal evidence that it's sensitive to in-game market demand.

They didn't upgrade the AI in the way you're meaning. They pretty much copied a better AI they had in use in the game already. Oh, and, within weeks, people had already gotten the "more advanced" AI cracked. So it shuffled things around for a month. Time totally well spent. 
And ok, so profession sites equal improving missions... how? Furthermore, I'd love to know what monolithic leap you made to assume that because they fixed exploration and simplified probing, that they are going to throw more money down the dusthole trying to make missioning anything more than the grind it is.
It's not happening. Missions aren't what EVE is all about.

Oh, ok, so PLEX is completely a special case, and is the only item in the game (Besides maybe a Revenant) that doesn't respond to the market, right? How do you make stuff like this up? Honestly, you should write children's books with that kind of imagination. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

"cracking" the new AI consisted of abandoning a lot of semi-AFK strategies (mainly drone based, also dedicated tanking) so certainly a relevant improvement.

Furthermore, I'd love to know what monolithic leap you made to assume that because they fixed exploration and simplified probing, that they are going to throw more money down the dusthole trying to make missioning anything more than the grind it is.
You seem confused. If you hadn't noticed, this is the default exploration sub-forum and exploration is PVE. Thus making exploration less automation prone makes PVE less automation prone. I'm also not sure where your mission fixation came from; nothing in this thread has been about missions.

a. There's a difference between sensitive and not responding at all b. PLEX are extremely special because they throw real money and less dedicated Eve players into the equation c. The market reaction to demand changes isn't necessarily supply changes (let alone 1:1). That generally only applies to thin margin manufacture.
Do me a favor and read up on this stuff? Teaching isn't my bag. |
