I use isboxer each time i play to get vision on my 4 accounts and to be able to switch easily between them. Vision help me to see when a warp is done or about to be done, if a ship come at a gate, where my mining cycle are, etc ... It help me a lot. I fear that it is what you are calling an unfair advantage, which would simply doom my user experience.
Not wishing to reopen the taps on the ISBOXER flame thrower again but this post is the first I have seen in the whole of the EULA debate that encapsulates the issue for players,, That of User experience, That ethereal experience obtained while playing such on line games as Eve.
The truth here is that the EULA is no longer fit for the purpose it was written for in many major areas, as such CCP has always disguised this by telling the players, 'Everything you need to know is in the terms of the EULA', and replying to question regarding it obvious grey areas by players in a manner such as 'Oh you don't understand the EULA, that is OK we will interpret it for you, your obviously not intelligent enough to get were we are coming from'. while at the same time mashing the ban button daily.
What I have never understood in the ISBOXER and many other utilities debate is why CCP is so shocked to find that people who play an innovative game like Eve are themselves not going to be innovative in the way they play it. ISBOXER itself showed players however many 'Seperate' screens as they chose to operate, the trough of subscriptions which at one time CCP was happy to snuffle in without question for years, But it was only when they realised that players flying ships other than mining vessels were gaining a unfair advantage like that of bomber fleets in the area of player interaction did they suddenly jump up and ban the thing outright, But even there they were shifty about what was said and never really clarified it outright, Now who's not playing fair CCP.
With the current debate regarding P2W in game raging on in other threads it does beg the question as to why, given the desire of players to use these innovative products coupled with CCP desire to make Eve produce better profits margins, CCP do not embrace the ideas and code there own versions of ISBOXER that could be rented by players on a monthly basis, That way they themselves could control the coding as to how they worked and what ships they could be used upon, Banning players that use multiple screens, One monitor or not really is not going to make this debate ever go away in my view.
CCP needs to be as innovative as the players that sub Eve, You built it as a sandbox don't complain when players take your own hype and use it to the best of there ability.
