EVE General Discussion

legality issues aside, if the fact that it "automates" a sequence of clicks makes people a "lameass" then every one who owns a half decent keyboard is also a "lameass".

if ISboxer actually gave you some kind of unfair advantage i'd be able to understand what people were getting so upset about, but it doesn't so... i honestly don't understand why their panties are all in a bunch.

Have you ever used it? I don't need you to answer that question, I know you haven't by your assumptions. I can tell you this is in now way true, the slightest difference in overview spacings, window location, client lag and you've got half your fleet warping to the sun and half your fleet self-destructing. This is in no way an 'I-win' programme, I challenge anyone to do the 7 day free trial and not give up in frustration, no amount of synchronising settings will make up for that tiny bit of lag it takes to repeat the command from one client to the next, which seems to compound on itself the more clients you run. You may click on 'warp to' on your primary client, your final client being 1/10th of a second behind primary will be dozens of pixels away and you end up Jumping gate. Right click on your capacitor 'Enter starbase password' on primary client 'Initiate selfdestruct' on client 8. People shouldn't comment on this I-win programme until they actually try it and see how shoddy it is.

Edit: Realistically it's only application is in slow-action things, like hauling or mining, and tbh it's probably a waste of $ for that as you can do these things manually so bloody easily.

And they're clearly not.

Great post. I would like to add some info into this discussion.
Since my last post was closed and with no much information from ccp, I just read the policy rules and it says :

1- You may not use your own or third-party software to modify any content appearing within the Game environment or change how the Game is played.

> Since multiboxing is an third party software that changes the way the game is played, its against this rule.

2- You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game.

> Well, since it facilitate acquisition of anything etc, its against this rule.

3- You may not use the Software, or any information accessible through the System, to bypass the System login architecture or create or provide any other means through which the System may be accessed and/or the Game may be played by others, as, for example, through server emulators.

> I didnt use this software, but I think it bypass the login, but its clear that it provide diferent way of playing, so its agains this rule.

On a different note: Fleets interfere with my gameplay and are an unfair advantage because I have no friends. Please ban fleets from Eve now.

It's bad plain and simple.

You can't control customers behaviors in their natural environment, any multiboxing program is the BOTs best friend for clear reasons, denying this simple fact is making a fool of yourself, mostly in a game promoting all of the worst behaviors you could ever cross on your real life.

Wouldn't or isn't naif to think just because it's Eve suddenly this is good?

At which degree or % bots are not harmful or require attention?

At which point is easy to maintain argumentations about x or whatever program is not an automation of taks when you can't obviously manually control over a couple accounts if in the first place it's the the regroup of those commands in a single button that aloud you to do it like a macro or a tiers program doing for you?

It's a very bad discussion from the moment someone considers some program action is the same thing than a guy that can run several accounts with bamboo sticks over 20 keyboards and scrapped mice together.

There's no way in hell the bamboo sticks guy does the very same thing another does with a tiers program, no way close and no need to theorize or blahblah, as per usual endlessly for the same result, where the louder mouth wins.

It's just my opinion, no need to counter argue about I will not even care to answer because my opinion on this matter is pretty clear.

I think peaple like you that use alts to reply and troll in forum topics just to protect your cheating way to play also should get banned.

Great, another thread on this.

Your entire argument was over when you said those two points, you clearly have no clue how the plex system works. And based on your wrong assumptions you've drawn up a major flaw in your arguement, Well done.

isboxer gets used a lot actually in pvp. its used to gank freighters with 10-15 catalysts all working in perfect synchronization, much more effective than having having a whole team of gankers.

the player places a scam courier contract with a large amount of collateral, waits with his fleet of catalysts. does "the deed' with his fleet with just a few clicks of a mouse.

I thought it'd been a while since the last ill-informed, badly written and whiny thread was posted in GD about ISBoxer.

Just to confirm a few points:

It's not a bot.

PLEX isn't spawned out of thin air.

The EVE client isn't modified or hacked.

It essentially allows easier management of multiple characters. If you've a problem with this then by your logic CCP need to deem using more than 1 screen as a violation of the EULA....

Oh and if some player has the ability to run 6 PCs and manage 50 accounts then just accept that some people are superior human beings...
