EVE General Discussion

As always your interpretation is special...as in a short bus sorta way. I don’t disagree CCP allows it. It is their prerogative to do so.

To argue it is not breaking the Eula as written is just tippia being tippia.

No, it is special… as in “the being correct way”. I know that this would be a very special and extraordinary case for you, but for the rest of us, it happens with some regularity.

Yes, it is me being right, as usual.
There is nothing in the rules that disallows multiboxing — be it manual, mechanical, or software-assisted — and there are a multitude of statements from CCP confirming this fairly obvious reading of those rules.

Whilst that was a very informative and well written post, I'd really rather not see the inner workings of the logic-bot. It might start rubbing off on the rest of us, god help us if we can't just make things up to support our argument.
It's much more fun when you just shout: Your argument is fallacious! Ad hominem! I am right! I accept your surrender! etc

As long as CCP is making money they don't care if somebody pays more money to them to multibox. Everything nowadays is about money.

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.


ISboxer doesn't breach what's said above, it's not bottling in any way nor is it modify the Interface, it's just splicing the screen and moving part of the image around. it's modify the screen not the game. Just as if place paper over half of my screen or even take a screenshot and Photoshop it.

CCP said them self multiply times it's okey on previous forums post, you could even file a petition.

Oh man, let me tell you about this time I was multiboxing with 10 Vindicators & some guys came along & ganked the Vindicator account I was using to broadcast.

Nope.

As I understand it CCP won't endorse or condemn ISBoxer but so long as it doesn't set off their botting detection, resulting in a ban, you're fine. If it should ever result in that, you're screwed. If I'm interpreting that correctly, I guess that's fine and all but I thought EVE was supposed to be about interacting with others. At least that's typically the response from the community when someone comes along demanding their solo style of play should be catered to. If the argument for ISBoxer is that it makes multi-boxing easier, I would ask why multi-boxing should be made easier. I don't begrudge anyone their play-style, I gave up multi-boxing years ago because I found it tedious. Had this software been available back then, I might have tried it but with no official CCP endorsement on it, I doubt it.
