Not talking about automating anything that is done within the game.

The EULA says you cannot automate if it " facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play"

So technically it isn't against the rules.

But I still don't understand how ISboxer isn't.

It responds 1:1 to direct user input for dozens of open windows at the same time.

When 20 mining ships all lock a rock and activate their lasers within the same microsecond of each other, that is by definition an accelerated rate.

Auto clicking the warp button will get you to the destination at the same speed as if you sat there and did it yourself.

ISboxing lets you use 20 accounts perfectly where as trying to do it without would be extremely hard or impossible.
One does the same thing as before, another is able to do much more than before.

The advantage is obvious.

If you are going to ban one, ban them all. Why does ISboxer get special privileges?

Flawed logic.

Using 20 accounts perfectly is something that cannot be done before.

The same can be said about the auto clicker on the warp button, but it seems that CCP doesn't follow its own rules, because things like ISboxer are allowed and users have been banned for these kinds of macros before.

A player playing on one screen, and having those actions artificially repeated onto 19 other screens is accelerated rate.

So you agree CCP logic is flawed and you still try to defend it?

An AFK mining bot is also just 1 account working at the rate of 1 account, yet that is illegal because the player is not physically doing the work.

The other 19 are essentially being AFK botted because it's not the player actually providing the input, it's the program.

When there are 20 miners in a belt and you have to activate them all manually it will take you at least a minute to activate all of them by hand. I'm sure with practice it could be done faster, but fact remains that you can never do it instantly across all windows.

Without automation it is impossible for a player to physically command 20 accounts simultaneously.

Not close?

Explain to me how somebody can operate 20 accounts at once in simulationously perfectly, without any use of programs.

No, the problem is you think ISboxer is only for mining.

A single person can run an entire incursion fleet on ISboxer (and they do, and yes it is very OP).

How isn't it?

And there is no way somebody can do it manually.

You didn't answer my question either, how isn't it overpowered?

So its okay if an account does something it normally could? Regardless if it is manually possible or not?

How can twenty accounts be used in perfect harmony "manually"?

Whether it is overpowered or not is irrelevent.

But it is overpowered.

Don't even bother arguing with the ISBoxers. They will fight tooth and nail telling you that they could do the same thing without the third-party software, but they can't; which is why they defend/use ISBoxer in the first place.

That's something I never quite understood.

The Multiboxer says he earned twenty times more than with his one single account, but then he has 20 accounts. All those accounts need to be plexed, the toons need equipmnent etc.

In the end wouldn't he earn just as much as if he were in a corp with 20 (very well organized) players?

Aaaa.. what?
That made absolutely no sense.

Automation per definition also includes methods or tools which reduce human workload for operating machines, cars etc - thus is clearly EULA violation.

Umm no. You are wrong.. again.

The argument has always been that ISboxer is automation and it lets players do something that they cannot do manually.

1:1 what?

Like I stated before, CCP only allows it because profitable like hell not becaust its not automation.

but not for the reason of their excuses but just because they want the money.

Which matters? I tell you what matters -> your money from 20 isboxed accounts.

if this would be true, noone would use it.

more hurfblurf in lack of arguments?
