EVE General Discussion

Lets see if That Person still feels like manually running 50 ships a month from now.

I'd offer to lay a wager with EVE-Bet, but we'd run into issues of paid gankers and bribes, so I'll just say that I will be here when people start complaining on the forums about boxers in the belts.

Sooo, they didn't figure out that there might be people who are competent enough to bomb you even without input multiplexing?

Hi, welcome to 100 pages ago. We tried to warn CCP about this.


Alright then, what's your stance on stuff like EFT, or Fuzzworks, or Siggy?

Don't use them, don't know enough about them to comment. I knew what isboxer was capable of and it was obvious to me it that being able to control 20 or 50 characters with 1 click is a massive in game advantage.

We are the Borg.

Resistance is futile

No. I know enough about how isboxer allowed you to duplicate commands across many clients, and thus was able to make a judgement that it's cheating, and I made this judgement long before CCP decided to finally outlaw it. CCP seem to agree that isboxer offers too much of an ingame advantage, hence the outlawing of input broadcasting.

So you looked at a single portion of the program and immediately jumped to a conclusion based on nothing more than first impressions and no research. Good job.
The downsides to ISBoxer have been well documented by people and would have been happily explained if you decided to ask one of the boxers.

e: And ISBoxer itself is not outlawed.

ISBoxers most gameplay affecting feature is and has always been VideoFX not broadcasting. You prove the point that you don't know enough about anything involving multiboxing to make an educated assessment. Yours is the blind and biased opinion of the masses who either don't want to multibox at a higher level or can't afford it and so want it banned.

Is it obvious by now that the ban hasn't stopped ISBoxing?

Are all the people who have been cheering for the ban happy now? Has this improved the quality of your gaming time? Are you going to go back to CCP to call for more nerfs?

What's the next step in the anti-isboxer campaign?

CCP could have stated that any modifications or programs that interacted with the client were against the EULA. However as it seems the CSM (none of whom has any experience with the program other than "wah my fleet was afk on a planet and got bombed", by the way, and who have provable vested interests in getting rid of the program by presenting a flawed perception of the program to CCP) pushed this onto CCP, they backed themselves into a corner when they did not attempt to communicate with the ISBoxer community regarding the change, and especially when they flat out refused to talk to anyone until after Jan 1.

e: And I'm not even talking about the many changes to the actual game that would have stopped most, if not all, of the complaining, and would have had a positive effect on the game.
