EVE General Discussion

Unfortunately you fail to provide a "good reason" - or really any reason beyond "I don't like it".

No, that is the reason.

The quite obvious reason for this whine about EyesB0xx0r and others is ordinary jealousy, some thing widespread in german national psychology. In this world it's not allowed being sly and gain double benefit by only doing half of the work (while the other half is simply duplicated). So its some kind of weird self-righteous morality going on plus the feeling that someone, who is using multiboxing sofware, in the end of the day, has more profited more than myself. Consequently, the anger about this "betrayal" will be communicated. When the other person really "works harder" for his advantage the anger and envy, that is nonetheless present, remains hidden behind the forehead.
Further examples? German yellow press, greek, italy...

I concur

what about a bot taht shuts itself down if I don't press Q every 20 seconds?

One <> the other.

But anything that encourages alts is bad for the game, and if you read the EULA, it's really questionable as to how ISBoxer is not a violation of it.

"3.You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play."

Clearly ISBoxer facilitates the accelerated acquisition of items, when compared with one player running twenty separate accounts manually.


But money talks, everyone else walks......

Your talking about alot of subscription money to ban these sorts of players. I mean, who doesn't have more than one account? CCP wants people using more than one account, the more the better to be honest, as it gets them far more cash. As long as there is an actual human behind the controls, sitting at his computer, going to all the hassle of getting all his accounts running at the same time, then they don't care.

Its the Bots they're after. Completely automated, computer controlled with zero human imput. I can see you're finding it hard to differentiate between the two. But its quite simple. Human controlled accounts = good, computer controlled accounts =bad.

Working out which are the bots and which are actual players is the hard part i imagine, but those smart CCP people have their ways!

You know what, this is pointless.

I KNOW, that CCP didn´t want to have less payed Accounts. I know also that the Mainargument is that a Person is in front of the PC and "uses" all those Accounts and the Software is "just" copying the Movements of an real Player. And i also know that its actual very comfortable to gain that much ISK with such less effort.

All that is actual true and i also understand why CCP is accepting it.

But if we shortly see that we could allow bot using with the same Reason, because if i am sitting in front of my PC and would have an Bot running for my giant Miningfleet while i do something else with my "Main-Account" we have 2 Situations in wich a Player is using Software to handle as many Chars as possible.

I didn´t sayed that multiboxing is generaly a bad Thing, i sayed that Software wich is able to handle the Character steering SHOULD generaly be permitted.

And the Question is why CCP doen´t like Bots but likes Multyboxers insted of permitting ´em? The Mony couldn´t be the reason, because the "Bottingaccouts" are also payed like the multiboxing ones.




You shouldn´d believe that just becaus i didn´t found that described "200" other Threads here.

Wait. Thats the Point. It IS automation if i setup an 40 Char-Miningfleet with BOTH of that Programs. Just because 1 Account used by an Player didn´t make it less automated.

Think about it.
