EVE Information Portal

There's also the bit where they point out they have no idea what the client actually looks like, so they in fact won;t be able to tell the difference between a cut up client and someone with plenty of screen real estate and windowed clients, so you're pretty much using multiple monitors at your own risk here.

Please reconsider these rather poorly worded, and arguably counter productive changes.

Not only are pretty solid PVP aspects of Eve heavily harmed with this change, but also (a stupid amount) of PVE options are getting hit in the head with this one.

It's been nothing but sticks lately CCP, in pretty much every play style I enjoy.

So what about people who have multiple accounts but only 1 monitor? For example a 3x miner and 1x Orca setup where each window is sized to around 1600x900 and arrange so that in each corner shows a part of one client to easier click on them than using the windows preview. Will they have to fear to get banned because of this behaviour? Or the pvper who has set 2 accounts on one monitor (1 scout and 1 pvper) and is using this to show the Overview on the scout during still being active on his pvp toon? Will he also have to fear to get banned?

Jesus you lot need to all get over yourselves.

ISBOXER costs money, and is a 3rd party application that they deem to be providing an advantage to players utilising it. They want to ensure a level playing field for ALL players of EVE, irrespective of Financial situation.
The fact that a utility can be purchased that provides an advantage to a muti-boxing player is an issue they want to address, in their game.

I personally don't use ISBOXER, and I have multiple accounts - sometimes running 2+ at a time. I tab between windows because it works fine and I can handle it.
They never intended for their game to be played 10 accounts at a time by some autistic sperglord "solopvping" with his 10 vexors. It's not fair on me, and many more players to have to contend with people paying for an advantage that isn't available without a monetary subscription to the software.

If this is a huge issue for you, and you're not happy, then get lost.


Just because this thread is full of people whining as incessantly as they are, doesn't mean this isn't the right call.

Can you highlight in a screenshot a part of the devblog that explicitly said you can't tile or layout the windows around your desktop however the damn hell you want.

Its not just isboxer. Read. Its pretty much every utility out there, even Eve-preview.

Go back to Rote inactivity with fever dreams of truesolo.

So if I use the windows managment of ISBOXER (i do) I'm a bad man.

If I use EVE-O (which is free) I'm a bad man.

If I use 4 monitors thats ok.

Seriously, did you read that dev blog or did you just smash your head against the keyboard??

You obviously didn't read the whole thread until now. This is discrediting your point already.

The rest was just being edgy.

Except your entire point is moot since most people here aren't talking about ISBoxer. In fact the biggest point is around EVE-O preview which is a completely free program that allows you to do very similar things. Try reading the thread before jumping in foaming at the mouth, genius.

Sure.

If you tile your windows in such a way that you can see the overview of an inactive window this would be functionally no different from the above, thus be an unfair advantage and be bannable.

This thread is just full of people who haven't read the devblog and are presuming its saying something it isn't.

Playing multiple clients is fine, playing those clients in windowed mode is fine. Using a 3rd-party program to position those windows is fine.

Whats not ok is using 3rd-party programs to overlay elements of one client on top of another client.
