That doesn't make it different.

One requires human input to do something.
The other does not.
How is that not a difference?

More importantly, since one requires human input, it's allowed. Since the other does not, it's not. It's very very simple, and the you'd have to have very blurred vision to not be able to distinguish between the two with such a blinding difference to set the two apart.



It's pretty simple.

Replication is copying, repeating, right?

Automation is synthesizing the work instead of doing it yourself right?

Sooo using your words, replicating via isboxer WOULD be automation since you are not clicking that button more than once to result in more clicks.(which arbitrarily do not require human input to be definitive, careful with your absolutes).

A 3rd party program does it.

You are right, it is VERY very simple.

**** me, you were trolling that thread hard enough, how did you miss the glaring message telling you that you were wrong?



Your link resulted in this verbatim quote-

"Hey guys, I've been asked to relay this statement.

We currently have no plans to change our current policy on this issue.We always take all feedback into account and will discuss this further internally."

This isn't a "you are right and I am wrong" situation. It proves us both right and both wrong, but that's not the point.

If you want to use a quote to prove anything confrontationally, atleast use one that doesn't conflict with itself.

please, you know exactly what it means, you trolled that thread long enough to know what it means better than any one else.

honestly, if your job is that boring, get a new one. i know you only troll while you're at work, you admitted as much in a previous thread.

Pay my bills, pay my rent, or find a way to contribute to my life.

Otherwise, no.

Whether I know what it means or not is moot.

They are your words. Not mine.

I am fully aware of what it means, that does not change the kneejerk reactions people use nor does it mean I am ok with such closemindedness.

Call it emergent forum gameplay if it makes you sleep better at night.

Since I don't pay your bills, or contribute to your life, I simply won't care.

I still do not like what isboxer represents, so until CCP says I cannot complain about it, I will how I see fit.

Personal opinions, I'd class replication under automation, as it isn't player effort that generates the command. 30 ISboxer fleet, you may generate one F1, but the 29 others are coming from a program. It's parallel commands, where a bot is serial commands. I just don't see a difference between replicating one command 30 times, and issuing the same command 30 times in a row using a program.

However, it's my personal opinion, and I don't run CCP. I'll voice said opinion in appropriate venues, and should CCP solicit feedback, I'll be sure to give it. In the meantime, ISboxed fleets are easy to gank.

Replicating one command isn't against the EULA also. For example you can make a G15 macro's to replicate and not violate the EULA.

Trying to confuse replication or duplication with botting is just willful ignorance on peoples part. The first 2 require a person at the computer playing, while botting does not.

What the hell are threads like this still doing on the forums!!! MY GOD PEOPLE

CCP has made it clear and apparent that ISboxer doesn't break the rules. Now when isboxer DRASTICALLY changes and suddenly starts breaking the rules out of the blue, feel free to re-visit the discussion.

Would you rather CCP start micro-transactioning off the game. Make you pay more to win more? This is their work around for just that. Combined with PLEX CCP still brings in money, no one has a completely unfair advantage(And I am so sick of people dreaming up rediculously specific scenarios where isboxer might help ya out). Having more accounts is not against the rules. Using software to -ASSIST- in the usage of those accounts is not against the rules.

BOTTING IS

And like Sentamon mentioned, anyone thinking there is no difference is just plain ignorant. I really wish people would get banned for starting these threads, as it is borderline on intentionally enraging the community. As a matter of fact, I think we should all start filing petitions against anyone starting these threads for harassment. Nothing has changed, so that is all this is, harassment against Isboxer users. Debate should be left up to CCP only unless something actually -Changes- with the isboxer software.

And for the record, I manage three accounts without isboxer. I have tried Isboxer and agree it makes managing multiple clients much easier, including streamlining the actual punishment it takes on your machine, reducing heat and cpu usage as a side effect. However after 7 days I stopped using it and continue to run three accounts on full manual, and see no problem doing either. To some extent I hope that with CCP's stance towards 'multies' I hope they incorporate isboxer style technology into their base client in the future, that would surely stop this non-sense.

Both definitions are not mutually exclusive, therefore,
even if it is a replication, it still is an Automation.

But you can't use 40 hammers at the same time, can you ?

This is the thread that never ends.
It just goes on and on my friends.
Some people started posting in it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue posting in it forever just because . .


For all the slow people and the jealous:

Automation = No one at keyboard. Software makes decisions or follows a script and continues interacting with the game client without user input.

Replication = User input from a human being at a keyboard is copied multiple times in real-time. if there is no one at the keyboard, no replication can occur.

A WoW player moving to EVE can be..quite delightful in the tear department. The WoW penchant for displaying and showing off shiny things will make ship scanning unneeded.

According to WoW playing spouse, the most common response will be "If EVE were more like WoW in X way, it'd have so many more subs"...wait. Looks like we've figured out how to figure out the WoW kids in EVE. Anyone who pulls "sub numbers" as an argument...

Yes, I can make a hammer with 40 heads on it and use it on 40 nails.

As long as CCP gets money, they don't care.

Unless there is a mass-exodus of single-box players, or prevents single-box players from being competative or interested in Eve, then they will care.

In the end it's a balance between "which combination of players gives us the most money."

Ppl with 10 accts rarely pay for all of them with cash, they use plex.

This plex is typically paid by people who don't run 10 accounts.

Eve is quickly turning into a korean mmo, where people buy virtual items for RL cash. "Want a carrier? 2 plexes." while the peasant armies of multiboxers mine the minerals for it.

…and ISBoxer does not offer the latter. You still have to do the work. It doesn't automate anything.

So yes, very very simple.

…if it did away with the human input, which it doesn't. So it isn't. This explains why it's been explicitly allowed for ages by CCP — you know, the final arbiters of the CCP EULA?

Eh, no. There is no “therefore” about it.
Both definitions are not mutually exclusive. Therefore, even if it is a replication, it can still be an automation (and vice versa), but we can't determine one from the other.
In this case, since it still requires human input to do anything, it isn't automation — it's just replication.

In the context of why CCP allows replication (i.e. isboxer) and not automation (a bot) that's exactly what it means.
