EVE General Discussion

What I am saying is that I doubt ISboxers paid money for their boxes. The guy buying plex does and most prolly will continue to do so. CCP cashflow will only marginally be affected by this wise decision.

About time.

Was the new trailer so successful in drawing new players that CCP think they can afford to lose all those multi accounts?

Well anyway, I support this. I don't think these auto-multiboxers contributed much to the game experience of anyone.

So I use Synergy to connect 3 computers to a single KB/M. I run 5 accounts at the same time. I have to send commands to each client separately. Most of the time each character is using a different kind of ship. This is still allowed correct?

After CCP tanked WhiteWolf and the WOD MMO, this is just the last straw.

I wonder how many people will come back and re-sub because of this.

this is a mistake. i would not have resubscribed if I knew this would be restricted.

No other MMO restricts this and no other MMO is as well suited towards it as EVE.

Perhaps fixing your game is the solution and not banning activities that exploit its flaws.

Disappointing how Devs can make a complete 180.


Please refund my accounts.

I give CCP a lot of crap over a lot of things, I really feel it would be unfair not to give them a honest "good job" for this one.

How many old MMOs have you resubed to because they banned multiboxing?

Lol at all the fake "I'm going to unsub all (xxx) of my accounts" posts that always happen every time CCP changes something (like they don't know what a load of BS that is). Here's a hint - they actually do have accountants and people who can make fancy graphs and charts and see just how few people (if any) actually do unsub their accounts, especially on a whim minutes after a new change is posted.

I've been running 6 accounts on yearly subs for almost 6 years now. Still don't have a clue how to macro anything and can't be bothered trying to automate anything. Just alt-tab my @ss off (my left thumb and middle finger are almost twice as big and muscly as the ones on my right hand) ! At best I run 4 clients on one computer and 2 on the other, crappier (Alienware POS). Fine for indy, PI, research, but for PvP I rarely run more than 2 clients at a time.

Then again, I pay to play because I enjoy playing the game. I could care less what my "isk/hour" ratio is because I don't play to make isk, I play for fun and entertainment. That is also why I've never try to automate anything. It's a challenge to me to run everything manually, having to flip back and forth between clients and remember what each was doing. Just the idea of being able to click one button and having all 6 clients do the same thing at the same time seems.......boring. Even when I have all 6 running at the same time, I rarely have more than 2-3 of them doing the same thing at once anyways.

I recall back in my earliest days of EVE that "botters" and people running scripts were despised and hunted down (and/or reported). Seems the problem just kept getting worse to the point where you enter a system and see 25 names (miner1, miner2, miner3...miner 25) and people keep coming up with new ways to get around the rules.

Won't be any different this time. Lots of moaners threatening to quit. Lots of "but my case is different, even if it's exactly the same as 2,000 other people have already mentioned". Lots of tears (from indies and gankers it seems) but in the end very little will change.
