EVE General Discussion

No Data? No Proof it's hurting the game. Changing something which not better informing use why?

Guess I enjoy the plex prices dropping they say.....

So the higher plex prices aren't good in eve?? I mean **** i can buy more shine stuff...

No, you can multibox all you want. I multibox too. The issue of multiboxing is not at issue.

What you cannot due is use 3rd party software to enhance your ability to acquire isk.

And what is it with you? If somebody doesn't have the time to set up ISBoxer they must be morons? Why is you have to always resort to the worst and most insulting response? Do you have absolutely zero social filter in real life too? My thinking was that there are lots of very intelligent players who may not have the hours you were just going on about to allocate towards setting up and fine tuning ISBoxer.

No, based on the OP CCP appears to be classifying that under automation of inputs.

Because I'm not a farmer.

word. not everyone bomber spams. There is almost nothing that can be simultaneously broadcast in this gang.

It uses drone assist, but that's already in the client.

Using IS Boxer to enable yourself to more easily 'multibox' the Eve client is, in and of itself, perfectly acceptable and legal, in accordance with the very first post of this thread.

What is being deemed unacceptable is for a single player, with one keystroke, to input an identical command across multiple clients simultaneously. It makes no difference if you are doing invention, mining, PVE, or PVP. You will now be forced to select a particular client instance, input a command, select another client instance, and repeat the command.

Yes, this change will hurt some people. Try taking some of the very same advise I've seen handed out so often elsewhere in these forums - HTFU! Adapt, adjust, or die.

I'm not a huge fan of many of the changes being made lately, as I've stated in other threads. That said, I'm still here, trying to adjust to the changes, because I still love the game and the friends I have here.

If your only reason for being here was that you could exploit a loophole in order to gain an advantage over others, good riddance. Please contract your stuff to me, and goodbye.

One keystroke, one client.

Why is it that we are not allowed to voice our opinions and dissent when everyone else is?
CCP tried bringing back bombers decloaking each other, and they stopped after the bombers pushed back.
CCP nerfed all jump lengths for caps, but changed their mind on JFs after the community objected.
CCP is currently attempting to remove a part of our gameplay, and we are currently pushing back.

ISBoxer is not some magical "Push to win" button that old-school AoE Doomsdays were. Stop pretending they are, and start using your brain to tackle the problem in a fashion that does not involve running to the teacher because the other kids are having fun amongst themselves.

You people are stupid. Read the OP again. Then once more for posterity.

Multiboxing isn't being banned. Broadcast automation and multiplexing is. You want to tell CCP they've had it easy? Look in a ******* mirror and start clicking for each of your clients or you're little more than a hypocrite.

GUYS. It is very important that we don't argue amongst ourselves. Not right now, not this time.

Multiboxers have paid subs for how long and all we're given is another client with no integration. This is a self-serving move they're doing with the ISBoxer change. Because of reimbursements given to players who cried about believing someone was ISBoxing and cheating. It solves a very short term problem, but it's the wrong move.

Put yourself in CCP's shoes. Right now they're trying to cater to everyone, and 33% of their subs are from +n accounts. So what do you do? Live a facade that you're not responsible for what multiboxers do, and play like you thought people only used multiboxing for scouting?

Then there's this thread. They've said nothing to continue the dialog with players, in what should be a customer service / feedback type line of communication. Instead they're hiding, saying nothing, letting players argue with each other about whatever, when CCP is the deciding authority here. We're basically left listening to muzak, waiting for the next available customer service representative for ... 4 days now.

Click through the dev posts and all you'll get are "read the OP," a dev hacked inline image because falcon is so edgy, another dev saying workarounds will be caught.

when the -real- issue is CCP is playing possum, waiting to see what players do in the long term.

so. let's not get upset at each other. That's what CCP wants, and that's what they're counting on. For everyone to believe this is a multiboxer vs uniboxer issue. It's not. The real issue is why multiboxing is sold and promoted, but hasn't been supported in the client in a way that can be balanced, that we can more or less agree with.

This time it happens to be my playstyle. Next time it could be yours. This is sort of a big thing. If it was something you paid for, wouldn't you care?

Well, then I guess you can stop posting, right? This change is good for you.
