QFT - The butthurt ISBox whiners are the current cancer of the forums. All members of EVE forums online, rather than actually playing. How often does an ISBoxer actually interfere with your gameplay....?


When one dude is gate camping himself, "Houston...we have a problem".

When a game has gotten to be but 1 player controlling 3+ clients to "play" a game, it's no longer a player actually playing against a rival (the real thrill in PvP), it's playing against bots with 1 player thrown in for show (NPC killing now in PvP).

What was interesting about that Bat Country player who was IsBoxing, 3 of those toons were named after their leader.

Sad. Truly sad.

The blob has turned out to be not 1000 players behind the screen. It's one player now controlling x-amount of toons. And like in WoW trying to kill such a player isn't very easy, especially with burst DPS (why it's done).

That's why it's so wrong. CCP will find out by how much in the long run, too (social game that isn't anymore social than playing a solo game with TS).

Anyone who knows of www.minerbumping.com or any of my mining threads such as this one...

knows where I stand on the matter. I'm just saying, this guy has been through enough. There are tens of thousands of other miners like him you can find instead.



Does he has anything to do with a few too many jagerbomb during a gaming social event?

I'd pay real money to see the 22 bombers guy attack the 120 miners guy.

In my view it's not in the spirit of an MMO. It might be technically legal, but that's not the point.



Actually, yes, it is entirely the point.

Your view is your opinion. It's not the rule-set we all agreed to play by, it's merely your self-imposed limitation.

It would be no different than someone complaining of the veldnaught. Can't be ganked. Last time I heard of it some corps war decced him to get his veldnaught and so many merc corps came to his "rescue" for free. It doesn't matter how many accounts he has or what he does with them as long as what he is doing is legit and CCP is the judge and Jury on it.

If he bothers you that much don't go into those two systems or take matters into your own hands and whatever the consequences are for it that is what they are.

you want to know the real reason he dose it?




He is the Beta tester of the new Goon fleets, i have it from the highest tier's of Goondom that if they cant end this war by August, they will be using there ISK for plex and alt accounts to use with the Goon multy-boxer software so they can have more people in fleets, every member will be required to run it + 100 Alts or be removed from the CFC.

I was wondering why in the eve universe would someone play with 120 accounts? Theres one guy in Agal & Hadji who likes to brag about all this accounts. He posts pictures of his setup all the time in local. Seven or eight computers all being controlled by ISboxer. He has about 50 macks for ice mining, 30ish or other exhumers for mining regular ore, a small fleet for nagas(10-15) for security, and the rest seem to be miscellaneous.

Now I've heard of people with 10 chars, even 20 and thinking "wow" thats crazy. But 120 accounts? Why in the world would someone run so many???



its evident the dude has no life outside of his mums basement!

Personally I don't understand this kind of mindset, but then again if he is playing within the rules, not hurting anyone then what is the issue?

For all anyone knows he plays a couple of hours a night and his life is in perfect balance, he just enjoys modding his pc rigs and having lots of accounts to manage, everyone has their little quirks.

Thanks, I'm pretty good at pointing out the obvious to those who seem oblivious.

Did you happen to catch the sentence right after that one?

...145 accounts. Because 146 would just be total overkill.

Seriously, I'd love to see him do something completely dumb like move all of those ships into the same system. It'd be the best 4th of July celebration ever.

Cause he can, I personally think if he can afford that many accounts I'd rather buy what I needed rather then mine it...but that's me.

Although he may be a bit...ehm, crazed.
