EVE General Discussion

A small list of the arguments for and against ISboxer:


"ISboxer bring more money to CCP"
No, ISboxers can make so much ingame ISK that they dont need to use real cash to pay their accounts.

"But someone spend real cash on the PLEX they buy with ingame ISK"
Yes, but usually some other player, normally is not the ISboxer, he doesnt need to.

"But it doesnt interfere with your gameplay"
Yes, it interferes with my gameplay when it uses synchronized fire, it can be much more effective than a human alpha strike and win PvP battles with the same numbers, even in Incursions they are using it to win against any fleet.
Plus it completely ruins the Immersion of the game, soon EVE Online will look like an Asian mmo where you rarely see a real player.

"But only a small % of players use ISboxer"
For now maybe, but if this is not dealt with soon, it will spread fast due to the power of this program. Just imagine the distortion of numbers in 0.0 if this is used on a large scale.

"But players have the right to play the game the way they want"
True, but they already have the option to use multiclient, they dont need some program that give them an unfair advantage against the players that dont use external programs.


But in my opinion what is more insidious is that it is against the spirit of Group Play.

We dont want to go back to Single Player Games pre-Internet where you played alone on your PC and used cheat hacks to win the harder games.



Feel free to add your opinion:

My opinion is that we don't really need any more threads on the topic cluttering up the place until CCP decides to change their policy.

CCP need to make a deal with isoboxer so we can all get isoboxer by spending plex.

Hell Yeah!



The tears would fill the universe haha.

i think it's fine, unlike people who keep making these threads over and over.

Go away, no one cares. Posting in a locked thread.


You clearly have NO idea how the PLEX system works, you are an utter moron.

Edit: I was going to reply to all your other points, but they're all absolute rubbish, do you realise how many PLEX it costs to set up an ISBoxer army? And it's almost unheard of to use ISBoxer in PVP...

Its a botting program and everyone using it are ******** lameasses. imo.

no it isn't, and that makes you wrong.

Actually this is a "automation" software.

It is not a bot per se but it does "automate" the sequence of clicks required to run multiple accounts.

The discussion is similar to argument that Fully automatic rifle is a gun but a semiautomatic rifle is hunting accessory.

It is not a bot that is correct but sure as hell is in the same category ...

Legal or not that is up to CCP to decide but armies of these mining or even PVP sure will mess up the real game play.
In my opinion this should be considered cheating but that is me.

The effective income per account is the same as though they were only using 1 account. Regardless of whether they actually pay with money or not, those accounts are ultimately paid for with real money.
