CCP prohibiting input broadcasting/multiplexing beginning January 2015

[Lax]

The way I read this any function of Isboxer that sends a click to a different client will now be illegal. So multi step macros, clicking video effects all fall under that. Now if they say it's ok to send clicks to clients from another client then maybe there is a work around. That's how I understand the new ban.

I'm sorry pinotnoir, your understanding is incorrect.

This is pasted directly from CCP Falcon's original post:

Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing refer to the multiplication of inputs, actions and events to multiple instances of the game.

This does not mean you cannot use Video FX to control individual clients one at a time, or even that you cannot send a keystroke or click from one window to one other window (given that it is not also affecting the current window). They are only banning the multiplication of inputs, actions and events to multiple instances of the game.

... to multiple instances of the game.

... to multiple instances of the game.

If they allow clicks to be sent to each client there may be a work around to get some things done without considerable irritation. They need to give more information so it's clear what they will allow. With two steps to perma ban I would not risk anything unless it was approved before Jan 1.

Another thing to consider is all the haters. There are TONS of people in my coalition that hate isboxers and I can guarantee you they will be reporting anyone as broadcasters. Even if you are not broadcasting the heat will be on you. They really need to be crystal clear what is allowed and what isn't.

I've been following this very closely and are you saying that having 4 clients in window mode on a 27" high resolution screen where I can symmetrically place them without overlapping would not be the same as having 4 clients on a smaller screen utilizing isboxer to symmetrically place them on a 18" laptop without overlapping is now banned?

Before I even knew what isboxer was I was boxing 5 accounts manually on a 27" screen. There is no difference between swapping from window mode and utilizing isboxer for the same thing. Video FX and click bars are not what they are saying is bannable.
