So how exactly does the OP hurt you in EVE.

Jump in with a small fleet and watch his computer melt.

Easy kills.


Have you met a multiboxer with such software? I show who I met...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amDdn8Iiqc0

Managed to ride his tail for almost 2hrs (only option available, as 35 accounts shooting at you is instagib). We pulled back so he wouldn't get his IWINs, and did our best to waste his time. Until he had a friend on OUR side who did his best to give him 40+ deaths by running up to him to die.

That's how these dudes "win".

You face that, you will never think it's "easy" to kill them, nor that it should be in the game.

LOL
You used a WoW video to explain why multiboxing shouldn't be in EVE...

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Correct.

Because an EvE bot-a-thon would put everyone to sleep.

Multiboxing automation should be banned as it gives an unfair advantage over normal players.

This iswhat is wrong with gaming today... lazy people who cheat.


I put effort into having fun in a game, i actually play the game without any "attachments" to boost my "capabilities".

You must be really shat at gaming if you have to resort to "tools".


And what annoys me more is CCP's attitude to it, only because these people pay more in subscriptions. Well fine, but that means if they start leaving it hurts more, than a large volume of single account owners which can spread the loss of income wheras one player with 10 automated accounts is harder to absorb the loss with.

If CCP focused on making the game fun, and started to ban multiboxers, they should focus on having a large number of single account owners instead of depending on multi account owners which is a huge business risk as we saw during Incarna.

Let me know what you think.

Ill make another video soon showing mining and how to effectively use multiple accounts.


Nice video, even if it is from a firefighter (cops rule, hose-draggers drool :) ) .

Doesn't having multiple accounts make the game to feel too much as a "job"?

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer playing with only one account at a time. I currently have only 1 account, and haven't had another one ever. I can "afford it" (via PLEXes) but I'm afraid it will suck out the fun of the game for me.


Not if you do it right. I don't use ISBoxer, but I do use two ships to run missions and when it's fairly safe to do so, three ships to rat/do anoms in null sec. In high sec missions I do a Mach supported by a Fof missle Tengu. In Null Sec I use mach or (if thats to dangerous) a Maelstrom + two Dominixes (Dominii, whatever lol)

Among MMOs, EVE is just about uniquely set up to allow multiboxing unassisted by outside programs. Fleet Warping, FoF missles, The ability to assist drones and assign fighters etc etc. Because my crappy Commodore 64-like PC can't really handle more than 4-5 clients at a time, I don't have much incentive to use stuff like ISBoxer.

while i agree the game would be better without alts and multiboxing it's obvious from the marketing that not only is it legit but encouraged. It doesn't annoy me that people do this so much as CCP still pretends this is a single account game, though at least they changed the bounty system at last.

cool vid though, was wondering the logistics of that.

What if CCP would just put this kind of functionality (but better) into the regular client ? :p

They cannot put effort into a simple expansion theme / feature nevermind add something to automate something.

They did talk about having some automation that you could pay for, presumably with AUR :)

The game is dying enuf as it is, why add more death features.

well, given how simple it is to do this, I can't imagine the functionality could be that hard to implement.

And any rage from us poors would be silenced by simply unlocking our two other slots for training and simultaneous use in-game. PLEX or pay for more extra toons instead of accounts.

The ones that multibox / cheat, should have penalties, or the ones that don't get bonuses.

Pick one, you cannot have EASY MODE whilst the rest of us dont nor want to.

well, I guess i don't see why if botting is illegal and AFK play frowned on then this is ok?

i think eve players love inconsistency. or they've just had to deal with it so long they feel invested at least.

Can you also show us the videos of your failed isboxer bombing fleets Lol Thx for the easy killmails i guess....

+1 Ban ISboxer. If you want to multi-box do it the old fashioned way, at least it prevents 50 ships 1 man armies.

You can't do much with so many accounts run by only one person except very basic tasks such as mining and ratting. And all these accounts mining means more subscriptions for CCP, and more cheap minerals on the market. So I don't see it doing too much harm.

it's the perfect tool for bargain ganking.

it won't even be the howls of protest over that either, it'll be collapse of the trade pipes and hubs due to unbeareable lag from the 50 ships every pirates takes in.

I have never tried it, so it was actually interesting to watch.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

l MicroFleet . I run my Scout ,Main, Link and Logi without ISBoxer on an ASUS laptop using normal clients.. It is expensive and takes a lot of work to master the skill sets. I enjoy the challenge and pound of a good fight. I lose a lot. And I have Hella FUN doing it!
