EVE General Discussion

I would like to say something about what I think its the worse problem in eve, cheaters.

I know that at last CCP starts to do something agains cheaters, banishing bots and warp to 0. But there is still some job to do if they want to make this game free of cheaters, and they dont need to do much, just be reasonable with the rules.

What I think is an cheat, an software that interact with the game reading memory information, seting memory variables, sending keys to game interruptions ( macros ), etc. All to get advantage for who use it in detriment for who play normally.

The worse thing here is that some cheater programs are allowed buy the currently rules of ccp like softwares multiboxing ex: ISBoxer. As it is allowed peaple use it a lot making the life of honest players miserable. And the argument to allow such software and that its not cheat just because the player "needs to interact with the game" ?

So if I use an cheat just to get 1B per second mining, get my ship imortal, its allowed because I am playing the game and interacting ? This is not argument, ccp needs to revew it.

Well, my opinion :

What is Cheating : softwares that interact with the game directly to get advantage, no exception.

What is not cheating: softewares that interact with the game indirectly using apis made for it, ex: Web sites and softwares that use information extracted from eve api. Just it.

I hear from peaple that systems with lots of asteroid belts cant be explored anymore, just because multi-boxers players came everyday with 50 retrievers and mine all asteroids in an few minutes. Players that create trial accounts and using cheat get it registred buying Plex with out any enforce. Pvp players that using this softwares can camp in an gate with 50 tornados and kill everyone. And much more.

When this game will favore the honest players ???

If it is allowed then how is it cheating? Have you discovered something that ccp doesn't know about?

The level of hurt in his butt because he's not making 1B per second mining like the pro elite ISBoxers?

Who cares?

I know I don't. I think I ran into one multi box horde in my 2 years of playing.

Multi-boxing is killing eve....

Can I petition OP's name as offensive? He's bringing shame to the Paladins and all of Amarr, simply by existing.

parallelization of actions = multiboxing
serialization of actions = botting

if you mine 2 hours with 12 characters and ISBoxer, it's legit
if you mine 24 hours with 1 botting character, it's forbidden.

result : more or less same mining amount.

With ISBoxer you pay for 12 accounts
With a bot one account is enough

hence why multiboxing is allowed and why boting is not : BUCKS in CCP pocket

Oh god why would you ever want to subject people to that?



What is "the game"? Is it the client or the server? Because you're going to be mad when you find out about the EVE API.

You've no idea how much metagaming goes on in Eve. Your little mining problems are nothing... NOTHING!

You forgot to mention AFK cloaking OP

Inteligence that this players dont have, since they need software to do this for they.

Maybe this softwares are altering the code, but it changes game memory the same way any peek poke memory software like cheat engine, where you can make your ship invunerabel or worse. How can it is not cheat ?

And yes, if I buy this kind of software I will make 1B mining like this "pro" players some of you like to say, for me they are realy nobs.

And if you guys think this is not cheat, so why you dont ask CCP to allow any type of things like client code changes, bots, etc ? Probably already done it.
