today for the first time i have seen isboxing
result
https://killboard.ncdot.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=366409

then i chek some vdo abt it .. didnt understand why ccp didnt ban it ..
this is like some guy commanding all his account in one click rather then using alt tab to every screen and giving command for each account.. CCp need to look into that if they havnt yet . if they did then look again

other wise whats the point keeping 400 slowcat pilot wake for 12 hours in HED_GP .. cuold use ISBOXER to win ....

thank u

Well let me put it this way: This whole thread is about why CCP allows it and that they've consistently been aware of its existence and your whole post was about CCP needing to investigate this and what not. Let people play the game as they so desire. You came out on top, congrats.

Welcome in totally broken sh....

You are good in eve when u use ISBOXER and 10 accounts^^

You are good in eve when you s... at solo and use cloaky neutral logi alt instead (lost a vaga to 2 dessies some days ago because of that).

You are good in eve when you use 2 ogb alts and a fit on your main that usually wouldn´t work but works great with your links.

You are good in eve when you use loki and neut remote sebo alt plus 2 neut falcon alts on gatecamp....

and so on.
Any questions?

CCP broke this game completely for newbies so instead of getting new players they force old players to get more accounts.

multiboxing is not a function of irl friends. some people live with their friends who all play eve and multibox.

Ya sure like if you are going to fly 10 BS's without getting noticed by any fleets, a simple pimp bomb would pretty much kill you right there. (a few BS's with smartbombs getting dropped by a Titan bridge)

All you need is anything to get close to you at all, simple ceptors go to ups of 6000m/s, just drop a dead bait run a frig your way drop cyno or warp in BS's. You don't even really need a titan... it does make you look cooler tho.


battleships are played out. but in some predictable, low-risk situations where a hp tank is required such as incursions, a domi gang might happen.

otherwise, a bloated sig res and radius combined with slow speeds is not the best option for multiboxing.

battleships. Roll most likely hacs. you underestimate your opponent.



It might not be a direct fucntion. But someoen that has a corp where all the mbers are just alts he ISbox.. durely does nto soudn someone that likes to play with friends... And that is sad...

ytah i agree with some of these .. but what we are talking abt is "giving command to each pilot rather then using soft like isbox

which allow u to use single command for all account ....

People have been doing this isboxing/duelboxing pvp thing for ages now but i've never really had too much problem with beating them since they're doing so much at once they can't keep up with the flow of battle half the time.

They're dangerous on gate camps with insta-lock snipers though, your tactics here seem pretty cookie cutter, I approve lol.

Nice to see in the OP someone trying to thinks of tactics to defeat another player rather than moan about it :)

Would similar tactics on a larger scale works against the other favourite moan of the moment regarding slowcat/drone assist doctrines?

Perhaps eWar has been overlooked for raw dps for too long...

With ISBoxer people can multibox entire Incursion fleets. I personally do agree ISBoxer should be bannable since its giving a massive advantage to people and causes EVE to cross onto Pay To Win which it shouldn't be.

People +2B ISK per hour with the ISBoxer incursion fleets I really do agree ISBoxer should be banned.



yeah, ive just restarted incursions and was in a vangard when i saw a fleet of 8 nightmares and 2 logi come in and instablapped everything that was there and now theres an incursion community forming around using isoboxer.

Holy cow W&T where did all these shitposters come from.

I said that you win at EVE by playing what you enjoy. if these guys want to pay hundreds of dollars for software to keep up their multiple accounts (which also cost quite a bit) then let them. It is all about what they enjoy. If that's their idea of fun let them have it and beat them at their game. I know of a guy who ISBoxes Vanguards in Nightmares as well. Guess what? ICU and ISN have both contested and beat him on multiple occasions. So they do not have an "instant win" button or anything.

I am actually glad to see this thread still kicking. I would also like to give kudos to OP for posting this rather than a "Ban ISBoxer" thread. Now, I am a strong supporter of ISBoxer, as anyone can see from my history of post. I will not reiterate my pros and cons, but will like to say that I would much rather see people multiboxing six accounts with ISBoxer, than botting with three. I can map keys with any third party software, and as long as it requires a keystroke, then all is fine. That in all honesty is not why I use ISBoxer though. I use it primarily because of the fps throttle it has for active and inactive windows. My computer can more than handle it, but my latency can not. Of course the question comes up to why I need more than one account? Why does anyone need more than one account?

Maybe because I am a socially ********, fedora wearing autist that hates people, or maybe I like the fact that at any given time, I can do exactly what I want, without pinging the entire world to hopefully log on and do what I want to do when I want to do it when I can log my accounts and do it without objection. Whatever the reason, its my reason, and its my isk/money that pays for it. If people spent more time worried about their own accounts instead of others, they would be better at Eve and could easily deal with a multiboxer, ISBoxer or not.

I run into one in my area. First off he is a good pilot so that makes it hard. He has run perfect bombing runs on us a few times. We have killed him but not as much as I would like. The fiercest I have seen is the 8 caracals or domis. On top of that he has an awesome prober, finds ships fast and even cloaky ones :) I don't mind a dual boxer, or a gang but one guy with isboxer, dont seem right. Try getting 6 sb;s pilots to do what he does in unison.

EVE is designed to promote multiplayer, and I say this based on the fact that remote assistance is more efficient than local modules. every slot you use for reps, cap, sensor strength, tackle... detracts from the potential of your ship, and is better accomplished with another ship that has the related role bonus(es).

You use this to your advantage by having those extra ships.

When you consider faction vs T2 vs T3 with this in mind, you begin to see that increased hull cost is a premium you pay for trying to do so much with 1 character/hull.

I still don't think you understand. I use recons, too, and they're boosted.

Shouldn't you busy with some other things? Like moving your ishtar and proteus to caldari lowsec? I heard they are kick ass against merlins and bursts.
