If they do then obviously they should allow multi-client software like isboxer which makes it easier to run the clients. I think the fundamental question is whether or not CCP actually wants people to multibox. You could do the same basic thing if you wanted to spend thousands of dollars on monitors and spare computers to display all the clients on them, but isn't that a bit silly when isboxer does this pretty well on just one or two monitors?

IMO one of the main benefits of using isboxer is allowing you to actually see all your clients at one time, even tho they all might be in small windows it helps tremendously, and that has nothing to do with broadcasting. It was needlessly mundane and tedious compared to just broadcasting the commands to all the clients at once, and it is enough to severely limit the number of accounts you can run at one time. When I ran multiple accounts without isboxer it generally consisted of me using fixed windows, setting up every window identically and then rapidly alt+tabing through the clients as I clicked the same spot on the screen over and over across the clients. I too have run multiple accounts without ISBoxer and wish I'd been using it a long time ago. I run a few manually and it's a ball-ache but I accept that. If you want to run mutiple accounts you should just accept it will be a ball ache, if you dont want the ball-ache don't run mutiple accounts. Jesus I actually agree, I need a lie down now. Macroing is a very simple issue: hurting macros hurts no-one and helps everyone.

Macroing is not a black or white issue, hurting Macros hurts everyone.Incorrect in every way. It automatically copies your input over to other clients without further action from the user, I'd say that's automation. Most use of ISBoxer is duplication, and that is what CCP allows. In an MMO it's kinda backwards to allow ways of playing that exclude the need for others and while that could also extend to using more than one account at least then the player has to divide his attention between them meaning there's a disadvantage to it.Ī company that allows stuff like ISBoxer is effectively stating they're ok with lowering the quality of their game towards "real" players, just like botting in that respect.Īutomation is not the same as duplication. It breaks immersion to see 6 Mages run around doing the exact same thing as if they were radio controlled, it looks wrong, it feels wrong and it is wrong. The second you automate it (and ISBoxer does automate, it relays your input to other accounts) is where it's just wrong. If someone wants to run 17 accounts then by all means go ahead, as long as he controls those 17 accounts in person. I don't have experience with it in this game (I've not seen someone doing it) but I HAVE seen it in other MMOs.
