I totally agree it was starting to get out of hand, and was only marginally better than macros. Good going CCP!

I don't see what all of the problem is about. They didn't ban all of ISBoxer, and they didn't ban the use of multiple accounts. You could still multibox 20 characters, you just have to put more work into it. You no longer get the easy mode of instantly having your commands transferred to all characters. The problem with ISBoxer is that it does it's job too perfectly and you can have an instant command sent to every character instantly. Whereas if I have to alt tab windows or whatnot to put in those same commands you are going to win. If I am 2-3 character mining operation in a belt multiboxing the old fashioned way, there is no way I can compete with a person multiboxing a 20 mining character operation and being able to instantly send commands to every character.
Same thing in PVP, is it fair that a single person can run an entire pvp fleet from a single keyboard? If I tried to pvp with 20 characters without ISboxer I would likely see them all die because I couldn't switch tabs fast enough.
When CCP said in 2013 they were not going to take action, it was implied that if the system wasn't abused they would leave it alone. However now it is solidly abused beyond measure, and it has no good determinable impact to the game besides allowing a small minority of players a big advantage. When I see players running through 0.0 looking more like botters than actual fleets running DED complexes and whatnot, it makes me wonder the bigger impact going on behind the scenes.
The only reason people are mad now is they are losing a distinct and massive advantage they have clung onto, and now they are mad because they no longer have that massive advantage.

So what we can control them all via 1 click. We are not automating anything we are making it easier for us to do something we may enjoy. Yes i can control them all with out isoboxer but its just a bit easier and less of a headache.
Who am I hurting? Anyone can do it.
If it is the same argument I was hearing from macro and bot users in 2008, you know there is a problem.

Take for example VideoFX - this allows you to place segments of another EVE window into a single window (like this}. With this, an isboxer can put all of his module controls in a neat little block. No alt tabbing or broadcasting required.
Then in that case I would support the banning of all functions in ISBoxer and other software with related functions, you shouldn't need a third party software to be able to compete within the client.
