Be careful, your assumptions are showing.

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

I'm fine with multi-boxing, if you can control many characters at once then good luck to you!

ISBoxer (if I understand it correctly) I don't like. This lets one player have many characters perform the exact same task at once on a single command? Where is the extra effort in return fort the greater rewards? Easy solution is to check the MAC address of the connecting box at login I guess(?), and only allow one per machine



MAC does not cross over the wire into the "cloud". Cloud in the classical network diagram sense as the space between 2 networks.

What if hes moving every Single Dominix by hand without any automation? Can you proof hes using any kind of Tools or Macros?


Just through experience and observation. Drones usually don't all deploy at once if you are clicking each client and ships don't warp all on top of each other. But, thats besides my point. There are lots of multiboxers in Eve... from miners to mission runners. I see them every day. Even though I personally don't like it, I realize that it is condoned by CCP. I'm just looking for a way to balance the mechanic.



sounds exactly like ISBoxer to me. it mirriors your actions ont he top client with subsiquent clients so you ahve to have the overview set up exactly the same on each one... now the problem is ISBoxer is the root of the "nerf sentry domi!" and "nerf sentry ishtar!" because people think its just a simple assign all drones to 1 person when its most likely an ISboxer.

allow multiboxing but not the 3rd party tools which make it all too easy to do.

so, if i can multibox 8 domis now using totally separate clients, then why would I ever use the in-game system and accept unnecessary penalties?

I don't think you understand why CCP allows multiboxers.




try it. I have a hard time with 4 running concurrently on one computer in the same fleet. I can't get through a mining op with out a crash.

Multiboxing is easy i run my self a mining fleet with 6 accs and is boxer ofers more than mouse broadcasting or automatisation

First of all befor broadcasting i can get all my accs on one monitor that alows to view all accs without switching klick the the small preview of one acc it gets big and the big one switchs to the postion fo the small one i use is boxer alone for that feature

it also alows to limit fps and manage the cpu`s so that even bad pc`s can manage 3 to 4 accs

its a great multiboxing tool even without broadcasting and i also see the broadcasting feature as way to easy i dont use it for that reason

it isnt the tool thats bad its the people who to 10-20 fleets and also drone ships are pretty easy to multibox even without broadcasting
