EVE General Discussion

You haven't presented an argument against my arguments, all you've done is attempted to dismiss them with more non sequiturs.

Out of all you wrote, there is nothing that hasn't already been addressed. You only made one point that I wish to address again with some simpler wording for the simpler minded. No, there is nothing in EVE that requires one player to have two accounts. There is a lot of stuff in EVE that encourages social interaction, however. Maybe some of you just need to get better at making friends.

I play EVE because I don't have friends. jk. would you believe me if i told you all of my irl friends play EVE.

as in, the dudes i went to school with as an adolescent play EVE and they got me into it, and everyone else I know.


I'm just glad that you used the words "removal of one solution." because that's the point of the post. unlike those other optional cases, like siggy, EVEmon, EFT... this option has been removed. I'm basically in agreement with you, I didn't say it was vital to gameplay. Some players have just decided this option was a solution to something that made the game worthwhile. Beyond that, we're getting into players' personal gameplay needs, so let's just assume everyone's needs are valid. For example, the only reason I can play this game and be entertained is because a face full of clients makes my ADD happy. I'm also half Korean, and we all know what that means. Turbo nerd.

some players need certain types of gameplay to feel satisfied playing a game, Remiel. This is -all- optional. I don't key broadcast, but I can appreciate that some people are that way.

This isn't just any game like those FPS examples where aimbots are a problem.

EVE... the game we're talking about, -enables- players to pay for multiple accounts, and -promotes- the sale of multiple accounts to players. The plug is being pulled on the most efficient method of controlling those multiple accounts. The maker of this game is now falling back on what is basically a "no refunds, product sold as-is" policy.

That is bogus because characters accumulate SP, which represents a player investment. In a game, sure, but from a business standpoint, that's a poor way to treat customers.

Am I wrong?

Break this down with me.

CCP has decided to finally drop the hammer on this plague of flagrant multiboxing, and predictably, a number of players will leave the game as a direct result. Why would CCP suddenly be willing to do this.

Because the sudden rush of new players in response to what was basically a bait video of gameplay.

Which implies what. We don't need vets anymore. The majority of players have a limited lifespan of x years in EVE, and now we have a fresh sample. Maybe this batch of newbs won't eventually get addicted to ISBoxer. Those ugly outliers who took our multiple account mechanic too far, cut them loose.

So okay, let's look past January 1. Assume all key broadcast addicts are gone.

Apparently a lot of people have their minds set on chasing away anyone with more than one account in space. If enough of those types make up the player base, then what. "Sorry, multiboxing isn't popular enough to justify the detriment to RP and the quality of gameplay desired by the typical EVE player."

Which is who. you? me?

I wouldn't have such a problem with that if the cash that came in from all those bloated subscription numbers went to developing things that I like. And I think I've been fairly patient, and easy to please. Space barbie easy. Two days before this announcement I bought a six pack of PLEX because it was kind of high and I was happy with CCP and had hope. I bought more vanity items with the ISK. all of it. So right now I feel pretty stupid, and I am one -pissed off- nerd.

I hope PLEX goes down and people have to work for their ISK again, too, broski. New players means more P2W officer drake types, and I plan to gank my ISK for PLEX, so that's all good for me. It's open season on WoW migrants... fresh off the boat!

Have you looked at mah skillsheetz? I got me sum Catalysts.. sum Nagas, dem Tornados, n' Taloss... whateva. N0 T3aR5 H3r3, Brrrah though I better get straight up PLEX in cargo every once in a while.

Hello CCP,

I'm using ISboxer to ice Mine among other things such as for window management in PVP. To stay conform with the new rules regarding Multiboxing software I updated my profile. I would like to know if the following is within the rules because my understanding is that it is but I want to be sure.

What I use this for and what this does is simple. Every time I click the assigned key isboxer will synchronize the mouse courser position on the next client with the main clients then click control and then issue a left mouse click. Every time I click the assigned key it will do this first for client 1->2->3->4->5->end->1->.. when it reaches the last client it will reset and start again from client 1. I use this to lock up targets from the broadcast history window. Is that legit? Given that I'm doing one action to one client at a time?

I also have a round-robin key for opening the ore hold on an active ship and every time I click it it opens the ore hold on one client same order as above 1->2->3->4->5->end->1->

My understanding is that I'm interacting with one client at a time and not sending commands to multiple clients with 1 action so it should be fine?

They will cry and make their pleas
Rain ISBox ganked me!
And CCP's reply will be
Our records show that Rain
Shotted you manually.

I'm guessing you missed the part in parenthesis where I mentioned both sides were equally guilty.

You dont understand the concept behind: 1 click = 1 action. and you need to physically click? hell, they way you describe it, it actually does sound a lot like botting which you're doing. (i know isboxer is not a botting program, but this guy sure makes it sound like one)

It's something that you can use With IsBoxer/Innerspace (they dont work without eachother) (i dont know how to explain it, idk too mutch about it) :)
