Why it's allowed in Eve, I do not know...
I've never heard of multiboxing being "illegal" in most games. Especially those like EVE where each account has to be active which means he sustaining 15 paid accounts..
Can't have trial accounts and paid open at same time on one rig/top without some second hand work.
How he's paying or making enough isk to maintain is another story..
There's a multiboxing cleric in my guild on Rift who runs around with his 5 accounts with one keyboard and mouse. Paying for each account so Trion has no real problem and unlike EVE he can't RMT as easily to pay. So more than likely comming out his own pocket..
EDIT: Botting/Automation and multiboxing with one KB and mouse are not the same thing.. |

Surprise surprise. Actually, we are just collectivelly laughing at your inability at making a profit from something that is available to everyone, and quite easy to do i might add, and perfeclty legal to use.. Technically you're not turning a profit when you spend 20000$ on a NASA mainframe just to win at EVE

The difference being automating through "multiboxing" has some halfassed justifications. It is still automation. It is still things that are flat out impossible to do in the same timeframe without special automation software/hardware.
The justification "anyone could do it" that some are spouting out is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Anyone can go to any botting software website, download that crap, and bot like crazy as well. That must mean you consider it okay, which must mean that you probably do it yourselves, which is probably worth a CCP investigation (if only the security guy didn't work for goons. ) |

If I hire 20 servants to play my 20 accounts and shout orders at them to do what I say "Jump"; "Fire" etc, this would fall under botting too according to your definition. And if we go as far as that, aren't all FC's botting than as well? Fleet members all do what the FC says; "Fire", "Warp to X", "Jump", etc? Need Researched BPO's?

Multiboxing requires your time and your dedication to be there operating the entire thing. Botting does not.
It is as simple as that and if you find something wrong with it than i suggest you get something more worthy of your attention to be mad at. Because CCP sure doesn't mind. Rated ARG for Pirates. **** you. |

The technical side is irrelevant. He's playing 1 account and botting dozens of others. It's not automation, it's forking of inputs. Automation is "smart" (some degree of adaptability, ability to follow directives, anything like that), what he does is as "dumb" as it can be (merely entering the same commands on all boxes). What he does is essentially a virtual/electronic version of an elaborate mechanical contraption containing 25 mice and 25 keyboards. Since the mechanical system would be perfectly legit, and since the virtual one is practically the exact same thing, no, it's not TECHNICALLY botting, it's not even macroing (and limited forms of macroing, like that provided by G15 keyboards or such ARE ALSO ALLOWED).
He's also highly susceptible to slight differences in timings from one box to another box, distance differences and so on and so forth. Plus, when one of them pops... ouch.

Built minimalistically, you could get one EVE box down to 300$ easily, which means you're "only" spending about 7500$ on it. In fact, one slightly less cheap machine could run EVE at a barely palatable framerate while serving 4 clients with minimal graphic detail, so you could probably bring your costs down to 100$ per account, or barely 2500$ total. Which is how much some people actually spend on a single machine to run EVE in absolute max detail on multiple monitors with. And since you're duplicating inputs, you could do it all with a single monitor (although, the more you use, the better feedback you get). http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection |

LoL Rookie Empire botting? Lol
Okay, well you come on down to catch region and see how much botting we do.. LoL wait till I get on TS with that one
And yes I post on my main.. No need to hide behind an alt forum name..
If you knew what botting was you'd understand it takes no human interaction other than hitting the play button. It will mine, rat, POS up and all types of **** whether you're AFK or not.
When you multibox one KB and mouse you click and the command is registered by all clients. The thing is you actually have to input commands yourself. Nothing will be done without clicking
Again seperate from botting because you have to do nothing other than DL set the program right and forget. You should try to understand the difference between the two first before raging on everyone who comments on it..
Multiboxing is not new and is basically just having muliple clients open. He does have the advantage of not having to ALT TAB or whatever. If he's on multiple computers it even easier..
Rookie Empire botting! LmBaO.. okay.. right |

I say CCP should embrace this and give us a "multiple account single user mode client". As in, built-in support for this AND MUCH MORE inside the client. Call it the "EVE real-time strategy client" >:) Basically, you merge as many accounts into a single login as you like (paying sub costs proportionate to number of accounts) and get to command as many pilots at the same time as you like, Command&Conquer style. :P
P.S. The same interface should be presented to fleet, wing and squad commanders, with each pilot in the same solar system figured in. The only difference being you tell them what you WANT them to do, but instead of it happening, they get dynamic HUD objectives they have to actually enact to the best of their abilities. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection |

I'd love a function to switch between characters of several accounts without once logging out. As in, no client reboot requited. Just switch like you're switching between PI planets.

its not botting if you are at the controls its not a bot fleet because all 25 accounts respond to the user input and only the user input no matter how its connected to the clients
his biggest problem is due to the method of control he uses, all the accounts have to have the same password that he types into all 1000 clients from one keyboard
to me that's a dangerous way of living, especially with 10,000 accounts at stake
you'd think with 25,000 accounts he'd crash the node when he logs in The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

He is playing a dangerous game in many aspects and wouldn't survive like that in 0.0.

how you send input to the proper port of the client machine is outside the scope of the EULA
welcome to having the right to own and maintain your own infrastructure and hardware as you wish without interference from software manufacturers.
Now go get a job and you could be a big deal too
seriously, get a freekin clue.
