Isboxer allows a person to farm with far more accounts than they would normally be able to handle, it allows them to farm for much longer periods without becoming too stressed and earn a lot more isk.

Botting allows a person to farm with far more accounts than they would normally be able to handle, it allows them to farm for much longer periods without becoming too stressed and earn a lot more isk.

Why is Isboxer allowed? It's just another form of botting.

No, you individually control each account. It makes things much cleaner and efficient.

Because it doesn't break any rules.

...and probably because CCP likes the extra account you need Lol

Because it leads to a target rich environment.

Because your definition of botting is different compared to normal people.

isoboxer has a player clicking all the actual buttons, its just automated so you don't have to click 15 times for 15 ships.

bots dont need to click, you just set the bot and can leave it and still make money.


there is a pretty clear distinction between the 2 even though i don't like isoboxer personally

It gives people who use it a huge advantage over those who don't use the software. The damage done by an isboxer with many accounts is at least equal to or perhaps greater than the damage done by a botter.

Read the EULA AND TOS and stop wasting your time posting crap, we all know about ISBOXER and it is allowed in EVE.

More accounts = More subs for CCP
More subs for CCP = More profit for CCP
More profit for CCP = More side projects to spend Eve profit on

Then the same argument could be used to legalize botting

More accounts = More subs for CCP
More subs for CCP = More profit for CCP
More profit for CCP = More side projects to spend Eve profit on

Again isboxer is allowed in Eve and they are not a botter.

Isboxer is allowed because it's so brilliant at generating forum tears.

No, really it's because it's not botting at all, you still have to interact with the game directly, and the benefit it gives is not as much as you would imagine. It's mainly useful for letting you swap between clients with ease.

There are many things allowed in EVE that were later changed or made against the rules. Isboxer is presently allowed, thank you for stating the obvious. This is a discussion about it shouldn't be.

Since you're too lazy to research the thousand other posts about this topic, you don't get an answer here.

What about the massive balls of barges, 20, 30, 50 barges all operated by an isboxer, there's plenty of these around, and countless more less extreme examples. How is this any less damaging than a mining bot? The majority of them have learned to use tanked barges, procurer, skiffs, so don't tell me ganking is the answer because it's not.

What is this "damage" you speak of. They lower costs of ships and discourage you from solo mining, which has been proven to damage brains.

By not being any different than 20, 30, 50 regular players since… you know… that's what they are. Unlike the bots, which do all kinds of bot:y things like staying active 23.5/7 and gobbling up server resources through the way bots tend to interact with the game.
