EVE General Discussion

And yet several isboxer users have already posted about how they will circumvent input broadcasting detection using intentional delays, something which isboxer apparently has a built in option for.

Those people are making an admission of intention to break the eula. Isbotters is the correct term for them. I hope CCP will have an effective means to detect and enforce the eula against such people.

Not without stuffing your computer full of malware.


There's only so much they can do with monitoring alone. To actually be effective, we'd have to be talking about active modification. Is that in the EULA as well?

Uh..
2b from bounties.
1b from loot/salvage.
That's 3b/hour.
3*12=36
36*30=1080.
Not sure how he's going to make close to 2tril since his math comes out to 1080b, but it's still over a tril.
Isn't that a feature coming in december?

I really don't see how this is gonna make mining any more viable. Seems like a lot of people are confusing botting and isboxing, simply put botting doesn't require a player and isboxing does. The repeater is hardly used in ore mining anyways, you still have to micro manage lasers as rocks pop differently for all your miners. Most miners just use isboxer for the window setup.

This is like the 4th indirect nerf to mining that have happened in a very short amount. With the warp speed changes and moving mining sites into anomalys, miners pretty much lost the means to use rorqs or freighters to haul ore from the anomaly. And the ceptor changes made the risk / gain even less attractive, and its not like the ore prices are going up that much because the bots are pretty much unaffected and keep chugging out ore like nobodys business.

I stopped mining with the ceptor changes and never looked back. This change seems more like the final nail in the coffin for active mining then the rebirth of it. Wonder how many isboxing users that are just gonna turn to botting after this change, I mean if you risk getting banned either way...

The scope of the software used to monitor the game is unknown, but we know it at least actively scans the memory space of the client and hooks to a few DLL's, but distinguishing someone who can press F1 to F8 in 100ms by hand or via automation is a different thing. Sure, they could detect what software is driving the keyboard but do they want to tackle every single keyboard driver?

I'm expecting it to be more along the lines "excessive usage == bad" where someone just creates macros to do everything instead of only activating the tank.

Quick question, not sure if it has been answered but here I go.

What about keyboard / mouse key mapping?

For example I have a Logitech G710+ so I am able to map multiple keys just to 1.

I am sure that many Eve players do the same thing so is this still allowed?

For a very quick example, I can map all the keyboard shortcuts to overload certain modules to 1 key.

From strictly a business standpoint along with my view of the way IS boxer covets its reputation to not create anything which violates the rules of a game, I think everyone can be certain that a lot of discussion will take place between IS Boxer and Eve, so IS Boxer can be sure they are not doing anything to get their customers banned from Eve. That would be an extremely stupid move on their part.

I think they don't mind having thin margins between their content on the extreme coming fairly close to the outer edge cases of Eve's rules. They will be sure of making a product that will keep them a viable provider across many gaming platforms. Eve is a small part of their business and their basic package is modified into a product acceptable to every gaming platform rules committee.

Let's get something straight about third party products. First, try running Eve on a computer that does not have a third Operating System installed, or video card, sound card, mouse drivers, keyboard, DirectX and probably a few dozen or hundred more. I know, the really butthurt will say those programs aren't meant to run "botting" programs, well, neither is IS Boxer. IS Boxer cannot allow you to go to the movies and still have your scam appear every 22.185 seconds along with a cheerleader positng a wonderful thing about your scam in between every other scam post. Is boxer cannot mine for you or run a repetitive agent courier mission for you while you are afk. If you are going to use Is boxer, you must be present and nothing happens until you press a key or click a mouse. There are no timers, no macros, so scripts. You may become confused if you go to the IS Boxer site and see references to macros, because some games allow macros and IS Boxer was originally designed for WOW and I understand WOW has built in macros as part of the game. When IS Boxer writes instructions, there are so many clauses for different games it becomes very hard to follow and there is not enough business for them it seems to write a manual exclusively for Eve.

The author of IS Boxer was on Redditt early today or yesterday, and stated he would write in a stop for any game violating behavior and it would be applied when you choose the game you are going to play. And no, you cannot pick WOW and then play Eve.

Of course you're not. It just means you've already ragequit your zillion accounts and only have one left

I think you missed a very important detail, the whole thread is not about multiboxing but about automated multiboxing.

You can fly 10 bombers or 10 incursion machariels, as long as you have to control them all manually its ok for most people including me.

this is not the point. I dont WANT to have to deal with people isbottong fleet of 30. Thankfully, CCP dealt with it finally.
