He is the reason why programs like ISboxer should be banned. Found is ludicrous the first time I came across him. Back then he only had 80ish. No way he could manage all those miners without ISboxer. ISboxer does provide an unfair advantage but CCP will not admit it.


How is it unfair advantage? You can also use ISBoxer.


In my view it's not in the spirit of an MMO. It might be technically legal, but that's not the point.

And 120 accounts? How many PCs would you need to fire up that many Eve instances? This guy clearly has issues out of game that need dealing with, or not (if he's happy, I suppose it's all good).

Everyone could download and use bot software too.

To the OP : Multiboxing is valid gameplay.

I see statements like this a lot. I just have a few simple questions:

1.) If it is exactly 1:00 P.M. and a single miner starts his ice harvester and said ice harvester has a cycle time of 1 minute at what time will the miner complete a single cycle of the ice harvester.

2.) If it is exactly 1:00 P.M. and two miners start thier ice harvesters at the same time and said ice harvesters have a cycle time of 1 minute at what time will the miners complete a single cycle of their ice harvesters.

3.) If it is exactly 1:00 P.M. and three miners start thier ice harvesters at the same time and said ice harvesters have a cycle time of 1 minute at what time will the miners complete a single cycle of their ice harvesters.

.

.

n.) If it is exactly 1:00 P.M. and n miners start thier ice harvesters at the same time and said ice harvesters have a cycle time of 1 minute at what time will the miners complete a single cycle of their ice harvesters.


Hint : The asnwer is 1:01 P.M.

Now think about your previous statement and think about the answer to the above question and see if you come to any conclusions.

Thanks for playing :-)

Good day citizens.

Our friendly neighborhood mods would like to remind you that moving this discussion into the completely relevant and entirely related topic of ISboxing is strictly against forum rules.

In no way is this person who runs many more accounts than any human being could conceivably control with basic human input a perversion of the equally crystal clear Terms of Service agreement.

So please join the rest of us in a discussion of some other non-threatening discussion of what the weather is like and how we cannot believe it's not butter.

Exactly.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

Something I wonder is where that guy is.

Surely he can't be part of the Mack fleet, he would get ganked in a second. Perhaps he sits in a cloak ship near the belt watching everything?

To be their own blob fleet?

Saw a killmail the other day with that Bat Country corp...at least a 3 client kill on it (it may have been 5, 3 like named and 2 similar). So even combat (not just mining) in EvE is IsBoxed.

EvE is becoming like WoW's BGs. Just waiting on the auto-bots next. Roll

Why would anyone bother about how he wants to play EvE? Seriously, just because you don't understand his reasons does it really justify even posting a thread about him?

My point about people having their own in game beliefs slamming someone else because they don't understand or like it is proven out again.

Posting in a 'Waah I can't afford enough gaming computers to run multiple accounts so ISBoxer must be cheating CCP ban it pleeze' thread. Straight

If he wants to run 120 accounts then what business is it of yours? NONE so deal with it.

CCP have already said they're not banning ISBoxer at the moment as it doesn't break their EULA, how many more times has this got to be said before you get the message.

Until such a time as CCP decide that ISBoxer does break the rules then it stays, if one guy wants to run a mega mining fleet, or a mission whoring fleet, or a capital fleet, or an incursion fleet then it's up to him. If he pays the isk to run the accounts then it's irrelevant how many accounts he runs.

It doesn't make his accounts cheaper to run, just the ability to get more isk.

Seriously, if I had the patience to train up dozens of miners, have machines up to running multiple accounts, and could be bothered, I'd run isboxer, but I've not got any of those :)

I couldn't have said it better myself... I'm not using anywhere near 120 acoounts but I've been using ISBOXER since its Beta phase.

QFT - The butthurt ISBox whiners are the current cancer of the forums. All members of EVE forums online, rather than actually playing. How often does an ISBoxer actually interfere with your gameplay....?

So this means Eve only has 49880 players? We've been had!
This also destroys the concept that MMO's, and Eve in particular is all about player interaction,,who needs ingame friends when you have 119 versions of yourself to talk to.
I wonder if he ever ganks himself just ***** and giggles.

He posts pictures of his setup all the time in local. Seven or eight computers all being controlled by ISboxer. He has about 50 macks for ice mining, 30ish or other exhumers for mining regular ore, a small fleet for nagas(10-15) for security, and the rest seem to be miscellaneous.

Now I've heard of people with 10 chars, even 20 and thinking "wow" thats crazy. But 120 accounts? Why in the world would someone run so many???

If You need to ask, You probalby don't want to know.

The answer probably is "Because they can".

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

well after reading this whole thread, the current version and the unedited version... i will have to go with my wife's answer(who plays eve occasionally). a player(anyone) who runs so many clients is probably compensating for something in real life.

no, this isnt a stealth isboxer thread. i've been playing mmos since the 90s and after all these decades, something like this is just "extreme" for me to see.
