love Eve as a game and have spent a lot of time and money on it. I’ve always thought that the reason Eve has lasted this long is thanks to the developers’ hard work and persistence, providing players with a good gaming environment. But recently, as I’ve been participating more in PvP battles, I’ve noticed that many players are using sync tools, and these kinds of cheat-like actions directly affect the game’s balance.
And from what many players have described, most of the players who mess up the game’s balance are concentrated in one faction, which is the Peoples Liberation Army .I don’t know why the developers still haven’t explicitly banned this kind of behavior.I hope the developers can hear my faint voice and give us Eve players a long-overdue judgment of justice.
Attached is my ship’s damage report. It’s clear all accounts are controlled by the same player, but I can’t understand how one person could control dozens of accounts and cause such sustained damage? How could they lock onto me simultaneously in such a short time?
Finally, I want to reiterate that I truly love EVE Online. Even though the developers are relatively lenient towards cheaters, I still love the game. But as a player, I hope the developers will listen to my voice and make a fair judgment against me and other players playing in the low-security zone.
Boxing tool do exist that are not against tos. Ie: a hotkey to swap between chars… I can often get many into a single warp bubble… And box lock can make locking extremely fast.
Input broadcasting is the main thing you cannot do. But having multiple actions in a single tick is very possible.
If you suspect a player of input broadcasting, you should write a ticket and report them and their alts for it. Multiboxing is okay, input broadcasting isn’t, and CCP have the metrics to determine which took place here.
Goonswam have created their own version of EVE-O or similar. Which makes it a breeze to cycle through Clients rapidly, this way it’s easy to get multiple clients on the same server tick.
You cannot have one key, or combination of keys (ctrl, alt, and/or shift + key), press do multiple actions. This would be referred to as a macro (or sequence of key strokes).
If you’re wondering why multiple characters did identical damage to you, it was because they had identical skills and fit and all got to fire a single round of missiles at you before you died. One of the Ospreys got two rounds in, and then you popped and the others didn’t apply. They only need to cycle F1 through the different accounts and the rest takes care of itself usually. Not saying they didn’t input broadcast, but the killmail doesn’t definitively prove it.
I personally don’t see much fun in going out alone in your 10 accounts for some kills – seems a lot more trouble than it’s worth. Situational awarenes in EVE is complex enough without the added awareness of what your 10 accounts are doing at any given time.
