EVE General Discussion

This is not something I have written, but something someone did write in response to someone that thought multiboxing was cheating, and that it should be limited to 1 account per ip. (with like 12 slots max on one account)

This was 1 off the responses to his post,

So easy to bypass it's not even worth trying. Simple solution is connect second, and subsequent accounts, through VPNs, and voila, seperate IPs for each account.

Besides, your post makes it pretty obvious that you have no clue how much work it is to multibox at that level, experienced multiboxers just make it look easy. If a player wants to dedicate the time to learn how to multibox like that, I say let them reap the benefits of that dedication, rather than try to restrict them to your ability level simply because you don't think it's fair. If you want to play a game where everything is fair, you're in the wrong place. This is EvE, where the strong and capable thrive while the weak and inept go back to WoW.

Edit:

good definition of a multiboxer :)

Chara you have no idea how funny that is; who would've thought windows would have key maps huh? Lololol

the question is if ccp sees Windows as third Party or not.
i think i remember a posting about Windows not beeing third Party to the eula.

You should just give up, because at this point it's apparent to everyone here that you're grasping for straws.

Apparently so. I guess asking reasonable questions is this lil guys definition [wrong by the way, google : define grasping at straws] of grasping at straws. heh. funny.

If anyone's grasping for straws, it's CCP declaring that ISBoxer interacts with the client via VideoFX, broadcasting, at window management while allowing EVE-O Preview. '

Hint: They don't, unless you want to declare video capture software banned as well as the OS-level function "on mouse focus switch window". ISBoxer does not do anything that was intended to be covered in 6A2, and CCP needs to know that.

Could you please provide the link to that? I'd like to add it to my collection of links on the subject since I seemed to have missed that one.

To my knowledge, the objection in 6A2 is that those things change the way the game is played, not any deep technical reason. If you look at the recap slide at the end, they specifically mention 6A2 and push 6A3 to the side.

The objection via 6A2 (that it somehow changes the way the game is played) is nonsense and should have been laughed out of the office by Team Security. ISBoxer doesn't change the way the game is played any more than having multiple monitors, or having your windows tiled, or using virtual desktops, or even having multiple clients running. There is no basis for banning ISBoxer's tools and functions while not touching EVE-O Preview, Mumble Overlay, TS3 overlay, and Steam Overlay, as well as multiple clients at a time.
I'm suddenly reminded that at least one CCP and one CSM member declared an interest for one client per IP, or one client per person.

You have yet to provide any evidence contrary, so yes. I will continue to spread the truth until CCP decides they want to become a complete totalitarian entity and ban my account for daring to speak the truth contrary to the popular rhetoric.
