The cost of subscription is always paid with real money. There may simply be less buyers of PLEX but we don't have enough information to make a definitive conclusion. How do you figure? If you are mining 2b a day with these 25+ miners, and a plex is/was say 850m, lets do the math $15 x 25 = $375 per month. However, if you are mining say 2b a day, for only 20 days a month out of 30, then your 2b x 20d = 40b 850,000,000 x 25 accounts = 21.25b That still leaves you with a net profit of 18.75b/month isk. And you tell me that you are PAYING to play? Are you sh!tting me? Come on. What moron who profits 18b a month actually BUYS their game time. I may have been born during the day, but it wasn't yesterday.
Your math is off. I overheard someone claiming 2-3B a day mining in null with 11 accounts. 25 should bring in somewhere around double that (there is some loss to inefficiency, it's not a straight linear increase). So it's roughly the same amount of work to PLEX accounts whether it's 1 or 25. But AFTER they're paid for the income scales nearly linearly with each additional account. Think closer to 40B a month with "just" 11 accounts to painlessly pew with, double it for 25.

Yeah 3 accounts. That's manageable for someon either with or without a job.
But 50 accounts? Nobody in their right mind actually puts that on their grandmas credit card each month.

Yes and No. What CCP should have done was ban it entirely. You forget that most use DX nothing and not multi.

Hop on over there and take a look un the eve side. Will tell you exactly how much DX nothing is used over the multi. Seriously my friend?

Well, it does and it doesn't. There is more than one angle from which one should look at this topic.

However, as most things in life, everything is a matter of balance. As I see it, PLEX'ing the accounts(I'm speaking about using a PLEX for subscription) is getting out of hands right now. Is just so easy for too many people(they can all do it simultaneously) to AFK "print" ISK by ratting(Ishtar, Dominix - looking at you right now), to AFK gather resources and so on. Broadcasting commands were(are) a big factor in allowing this type of "game play"(not the only factor, that's for sure).
What most people don't put into this equation is the loss in "potential" long term subscribers due to newbies quitting once they start noticing all the 20+ nerds accounts(which are so common these days) floating around against whom they feel like having zero chances of competing(and who could blame them).
Last thought, Eve should be about playing Eve for the sake of Eve not for the sake of PLEX'ing your account(s) and maybe making some money out of it(RMT ). All I can say about this change is that I'm glad they finally push it through and that I'm a little sad it took them so long to do it(let's hope I'm not speaking too soon and they won't go back on their word(again)).

Some of you sound like jealous children who cheer in the face of the kid with the better toy who just had it taken away.
I do some isboxing ... and i'm perfectly fine with unchecking the broadcast button and work towards a more effective dashboard view. Half the time broadcasts just screwed things up for me one way or another because i use a mixed fleet.
Those of you who think isboxer fleets are invincible and think that these changes are going to save EVE have your own separate set of delusions about this game.
https://zkillboard.com/character/218906093/ - dead multiboxing protei ... props to this guy for bringing the fight... fun content that never would have existed without this guy and his personal fleet.
isboxer is way more than a broadcast all tool. those of you crying about having broadcasts taken away get clever.... a 20 man isboxer fleet will never be as good as a 20 man fleet of anything but BNI in any scenario but bombing. You've lost bombers and tornado alpha ... deep down you know that's a positive change and the rest can be microed in other ways. |

So is this a win for CODE as GoonTards Highsec gank enforcers whose only purpose is not carebear re education but in fact to make more ISK for Goontards in nullsec.
OR
Is this a CCP cracking down on the GoonTards and CODE with their isBoxed gank fleets in highsec? I have personally watched ganks with a GoonTard using 21 T2 cats ganking a freighter in HighSec (alt). Highsec and CODE is about the ISK pure and simple. Nothing to do with carebears, thats just a smoke screen to their greed.
I applaud you CCP! Good Decision. |

Determined to buid the best case to undermines the change eh? If what you say is true, you will contact CCP and give them a chance to help you. If you are just trolling the changes, well that's your choice. More than likely.
However, since CCP's policy clearly focuses on controlling more than one client or completely automating game play, trying to loop his "special circumstances" into the mix is pretty far fetched.
If it's a troll, it's a bad one. If it's genuine, he clearly has nothing to worry about... so nobody really is too worried about his posts.

You missed the even biggest part of the PLEX equation. The plex reselled (the one who gives CCP the monies)
I am one of these. I use plex to get enough isk to buy a shiney. I don't resell plex to have that isk sitting in my account. The higher the plex ISK price goes, the less plex I need to buy from CCP to buy my shiney. The lower the plex price, the more I buy to get that same amount of isk. Too low, and I don't bother buying plex and farm instead.
In general, PLEX supply has been fairly steady for years. It's the demand end that's been having problems. I very much doubt CCP will lose real -ú-ú-ú ($$$/whatever) from loss of plex subcribers on this basis. If plex demand falls, isk value falls, meaning I need to buy more to get my stuff. |

They would still be syched, and show the exact same delay every time, even if you set up multiple delays say 500000 different ones, there's still a pattern = ban. Generally in the past people haven't had a issue with is boxer when it was confined to mining however as times have gone on people have started using it for more things, incursion fleets, and the main one which will have forced CCP to reconsider and re evaluate things, PvP.

No. There will be epic deflation due to over-supply. ISBoxers will be issuing fire-sales. In the meantime many mining alts will be reactivated. I expect very few players will be buying up the extra mining alts or nullsec ratting alts because many of them already have the alts on mothballed accounts.
Of course we also have the stream of new players entering the game who are yet to understand just how mind-numbingly boring mining and ratting can be.

Elite dangerous is out soon. Maybe cancel all 4 and have a go at that instead. If you never used it to do anything other than auto pilot or dock, why would this bother you at all? You should probably get your story straight. Personally I don't care one way or the other, but there are a few good points to all this. 1: Restrictions on bomber use don't have to be as severe. 2: More people will be able to make their living mining. 3: Wealth is better distributed across the general population of miners. 4: PLEX prices will drop quickly, which will be welcome news to many. To explain the latter, your average ISBoxer miner pays for all of his accounts with PLEX purchased off the market with ISK. His tolerance for higher PLEX prices is MUCH higher than the average EVE player due to his extremely high income stream per account he is funding. In other words, the large number of "high rollers" providing a steady market for over priced PLEX will be sharply and suddenly curtailed. Which I never had a problem with ISBoxer being in game, even I have to admit this helps to solve a lot of problems. Ranger, I find you really offensive. My story straight ? I think ccp need to clarify what they intend to ban. Any action that affects the universe ...... If using auto pilot or docking is specifically excempt then please ccp clarify. Also, I have never plexd any account and pay for all 4 every month with real money. I don't do pvp on any of my accounts and I find mining relaxing. I feel mining with 1 account a little boring but mining with 4 much more enjoyable. Do I gave an advantage over someone playing with a single account maybe. But if they wanted to pay for 4 accounts they could have that advantage too. You aren't making much sense my friend. Multiple accounts are still fine. Using ISBoxer to control them all with simultaneously is not fine. Are you seriously asking us to believe that if the program you use to "auto pilot or dock" your 4 accounts with is taken away things will become to complicated for you and you'll need to cancel accounts? REALLY?
The opening post stated the following;
'Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing of actions with consequences in the EVE universe, are prohibited and will be policed in the same manner as Input Automation.
This includes, but isnGÇÖt limited to:
GÇó Activation and control of ships and modules GÇó Navigation and movement within the EVE universe GÇó Movement of assets and items within the EVE universe GÇó Interaction with other characters'
This rules out more or less any use of ISBOXER to activate an autopilot button, or to dock my 4 accounts simultaneously. As I have stated previously, I don't pvp and have 4 accounts all of which I pay real money for each month. I don't consider myself to have an unfair advantage as I am paying for all 4 accounts. If anyone else wants to pay for more than 4 accounts they would have an advantage over me. good luck to them. Maybe get rid of plex's and stop macro miners self funding their players if that what the problem is.
I don't agree with macro mining and look dimly on those that do. I don't and have never plex'd any of my accounts - I pay real money each month for all 4 accounts. One account I have had for nearly 10 years. A second account, 9.5 years. I enjoy mining as I find it relaxing but mining with one account is boring but I find it much more enjoyable with 4. I don't make huge use of multi-broadcasting but I might use it to dock or maybe activate the autopilot which I consider to be trivial but would carry the same penalty as someone caught multi-broadcasting to 80 accounts. I find ISBOXER convenient to use but I may find myself at the wrong end of CCP action should I accidently use a function I shouldn't. And yes, if I find myself subject to a 30 day ban that I felt unjust, I will be looking elsewhere for an online game to play.

Plex prices dropping from lack of ISBoxing = more people buying plex to MCT and other things. Plex consumption will likely not change very much. Plex prices in game may drop however. But the in game price doesn't have a direct effect on CCP's wallet, only an indirect effect, and we don't know how the supply of plex has changed as prices increased. Or how much was simply due to manipulation. |

Does it gain you an unfair advantage over the other ship spinners?

Are you seriously asking us to believe that if the program you use to "auto pilot or dock" your 4 accounts with is taken away things will become to complicated for you and you'll need to cancel accounts? REALLY?
The opening post stated the following;
'Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing of actions with consequences in the EVE universe, are prohibited and will be policed in the same manner as Input Automation.
This includes, but isnGÇÖt limited to:
GÇó Activation and control of ships and modules GÇó Navigation and movement within the EVE universe GÇó Movement of assets and items within the EVE universe GÇó Interaction with other characters'
This rules out more or less any use of ISBOXER to activate an autopilot button, or to dock my 4 accounts simultaneously. As I have stated previously, I don't pvp and have 4 accounts all of which I pay real money for each month. I don't consider myself to have an unfair advantage as I am paying for all 4 accounts. If anyone else wants to pay for more than 4 accounts they would have an advantage over me. good luck to them. Maybe get rid of plex's and stop macro miners self funding their players if that what the problem is.
I don't agree with macro mining and look dimly on those that do. I don't and have never plex'd any of my accounts - I pay real money each month for all 4 accounts. One account I have had for nearly 10 years. A second account, 9.5 years. I enjoy mining as I find it relaxing but mining with one account is boring but I find it much more enjoyable with 4. I don't make huge use of multi-broadcasting but I might use it to dock or maybe activate the autopilot which I consider to be trivial but would carry the same penalty as someone caught multi-broadcasting to 80 accounts. I find ISBOXER convenient to use but I may find myself at the wrong end of CCP action should I accidently use a function I shouldn't. And yes, if I find myself subject to a 30 day ban that I felt unjust, I will be looking elsewhere for an online game to play. [/quote]
You are overreacting.
In a nutshell for isboxers this does two things that i can think of:
1. It bans the use of the broadcast all feature. 2. It bans the use of clickbars that send commands to multiple characters. |
