moving them to 7 different points probably takes multiple clicks, unless each one is mining a different kind of rock and have different overview filters set. People that use ISboxer are very inventive with their UI setups.

Duplicating/streamlining user input is not botting or macroing.

If they are truly only using one click then must be just different overview filters set. Which is not against the rules (as far as I know)

I multibox mine (without ISboxer), no way I could handle 7 exhumers. Well actually it sounds like 7 skiffs or procurers, I could probably do that. I do 4 hulks currently.

Well potentially. It would certainly help how much I make from mining. BUT it is currently allowed by CCP and therefore nothing technically wrong. As long as someone is actually putting in the inputs. If it really annoys you just wardec and kill the miners (of course they may not undock during a wardec). Or ask your preferred CSM representative to help get rid of ISboxer, unfortunately I think that it is here to stay.

Lots of people don't like ISboxer. That's fine. CCP Devs have studied ISboxer closely, and been very explicit about exactly why they don't consider it botting. If you don't like ISboxer boxer because you think its botting, then you're either ignorant of how it works or have a much different definition of botting than CCP.

If you REALLY don't like ISboxer, there are plenty of ingame methods available, and even ingame organizations that exist, to go after users of ISboxer. But don't expect CCP to change their policy.

Here's the thing, in EVE you always have a choice. If you don't like these people multiboxing miners because you suspect them of using ISBoxer, go suicide gank them then. Nothing is stopping you but you. But then again, reading your topic it sounds like you're mad because they're doing something you cannot and wah wah it's not fair!

TLDR Either beat them or join them.

Warp fleet to...out of the box EvE functionality.



Most likely setting up the targets with more than one click then using IsBoxer to broadcast command to start mining. Looks like one click to you but really only the final step is one click when using ISBoxer (which is legal per dev statements).

Multiboxing is valid gameplay.

Yeah, so, I use isboxer. It's truly glorious mainly for the reason that it allows you to instantly switch between clients and see them all, which out of the box EVE can't do because of screen size limitations. Essentially isboxer renders all the clients at full size in the background then gives you thumbnails of them.

Now for controlling them, It's FAR from a single click. Usually you have to switch between them to split out targets beyond by-type overview settings, and often you can end up with lasers in different states due to rocks decaying at different times.

I multiboxed without isboxer for a long time, and clicks wise, it's pretty much the same (except moving ore to the hauler is simplified), it's just sooooooo much easier to see who needs what clicked at a glance. I actually only started using it to see what all the fuss was about, and now that I've seen it I realise the fuss is a bit over the top. It really doesn't make it much less effort (though with 97 miners it probably does) it just assists you in effectively relaying your effort to the right alt.

If they took away the ability to mirror clicks and keystrokes, I'd not mind much (I'd miss my multibox waves in local). The ability to instant switch clients is the main winning feature, and that's available from a whole host of software, just none as easy to set up as this.

I'm glad you think i'm legit. would you say i'm too legit to quit

i dont remember where i read it, but ccp said that the average eve player has 2.5 accounts.
