Because they arent robots. The pilot still has to click and run everything. You do so on one screen and the command is then repeated over the rest.

I agree, i thought that if the computer is clicking for you then it is considered botting.

it isn't legal, has been stated several times by GM's... but so far CCP is ignoring it.

Click propagation over multiple clients is something they haven't declared illegal specifically, though it's also possibly not legal under the EULA. It's a vague area.
Other functions of ISBoxer that actually automate things macro like are outright illegal and being caught using those will get you banned, be it one account or 200.

As a multiboxer myself... Mass boxing gives me more challenges.. It keeps me here... But if ccp declares it illegal i could stop paying for -ashittion of accounts- and play a single account, or go to woodensticks ? Either way,there's no issue for me .. The only difference will be ccps income or i change my gamesetup(hardware).

Basicly either ccp bans all multiple login capabilities or allows people players to use the hardware/software they come up with. The software like isboxing isnt an issue.- because all software to replicate commands can be replaced through hardware or clever solutions. My user input on a key replicated through software or wooden sticks on keybaord and mouse or even hardware modification to send mouse /keyoard signals to multiple pcs - software to command multple pcs?


Yes multiboxing has advantages(also disadvantages), but banning isboxer has little effect if you still allow multple accounts...
So ask yourself: do you want to stop multiboxing (at any level) or are you mad that others do it better, more efficient.....etc ?

What GM has stated that it isn't legal? And do you not understand that GM work for CCP, so if CCP says that it's fine, it is, right?

Anyway, this discussion has been done hundreds of times. It's not going to change anytime soon, because CCP don't want to nuke their sub numbers into the ground just so you whiners can stop whining about isboxer.

Then using a program to arrange screens and videostreams is no issue.. Good to know most multibox miners will hve no impact ;) or just need to buy bigger/more screens.

If you really don't like the isboxer miners then do something about it. I suggest isboxing a fleet of gank cats.

I think I misread what I quoted above

CCP has made it abundantly clear that they will not endorse any third-party software as legal, as they don't control that software, and changes to it could be made which later break their policies.

If you use isboxer within the EULA and other rules, then you probably are okay, but do so at your own risk, and CCP can on a whim change their mind and ban all your accounts.

In other words, it is unfortunately impractical for us to evaluate whether specific pieces of software can be used without breaking EVE's EULA/ToS. This post should not be taken as endorsement for utilizing specific pieces of software/hardware with EVE, but as a guideline to what is acceptable.

Our general stance towards the concept of multiboxing has not changed but we cannot guarantee that the EULA is being upheld should you use any of the software/hardware mentioned by name in this post, nor will we at EVE customer support be able to officially endorse or sanction specific third party multiboxing programs.

Players wishing to multibox are responsible for familiarizing themselves with our EULA and Terms of Service...
