We shouldn't have double standards when talking about EVE. Anyone remembers "Greed is good"?

I will use this piece as an counterargument for this debate. Players didn't wanted microtransactions in EVE and especially they didn't wanted Golden ammo. Paying for gold ammo that would give you the power of 10 ships or having 10 ships as one (as you can get using the ISBoxer) is virtually the same thing. Of course, with the ISBoxer & 10 accounts you end up paying way more than buying gold ammo straight from CCP, but in the end it's the same thing, pay to win. The ISBoxer allows one player to use the power of golden ammo or lol gold mining lasers Smile And CCP gets more cash Shocked (which is ok I guess)

Cheers!

Of course 10 ships are going to provide 10 times as much damage as one ship, but those are still 10 ships piloted by 10 accounts, & those 10 accounts can't do more damage than 10 other accounts.

That's not a strawman, but the words that I quoted are.

If you can't discern between facts and straw men, you shouldn't post. It is a fact that 10 ships on 10 accounts will have more dps than 1 ship on 1 account.
It is also fact that 10 ships on 10 accounts run by 10 people have the same dps as 10 ships on 10 accounts run by 1 person.
It is also fact that CCP has stated many times over that using software like isboxer is not a violation of the EULA.

TIL asteroids are content.

The problem with multiboxable gameplay is the gameplay, not the multiboxing.

Hahahaha! Mate, you just proved my point! Look at your second paragraph.
But yes, it's ok for players to use isboxer as long as it's not otherwise stated by CCP. Untill then, if it ever happens, good mining/popping!

You equated isboxing with pay-to-win. You implied that isboxing gains an individual more of a given item (such as dps) than any random 10 players.
Isboxer does not give an advantage (such as dps) over 10 normal accounts played by 10 individuals. There is no straw man.

Imagine what I could DO with that huge amount of ISK!! :O


Someone please help me do this! O:



you can google isboxer, there are some tutorials on there site, as well as like a 14 day trial. I tried it once, but could not get my accounts to line up correctly so i gave up. I only have 4 accounts so alt tab works fine for some task

I tried once, but I don't think it works correctly on a single pc in trial.

I'm too daft for this and a tutorial would be sooooooo appreciated... (:


Thanks! :)
