You people are ridiculous.
And right after that:
"You are not allowed to change how the game is played."
They explicitly state "don't fucking use any macros." (I may have added the profanity.)
I don't get what else you need. They explicitly state "clients are in foreground, or background."
That kills round robin dead for EXACTLY the reasons I spelled out earlier.
Then they say the following (quoted EXACTLY), in reference to "Roll-Over" AND "Round-Robin" literally EXACTLY by name in http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/b/639617004 @4:26:00:
That is EXACTLY what they said. EXPLICITLY telling you Roll-over or Round-Robin are NOT allowed. You have your answer, stop whining about trying to get around the rules, and play the game by their rules."Can these overlays be one pixel wide, so that they don't really effect the client, or that they are very small, or unimportant, and interestingly enough the answer to that is already in our EULA. It's pretty general tho the answer, it's like that [cue slide] You are NOT allowed to change how the game is played. So, you may not use your own, third party software to modify any content appearing within the game environment, and regardless of how you look at it, even if the interface is zero pixels, it's STILL NOT ALLOWED because it changes how the game is played, and that is an important aspect on how we look at this, because we didn't need to change our EULAs or anything; it has always been there."
Super explicit translation of the above rules and others relevant for the Feeble-Minded:
1. You may only send a SINGLE action to a SINGLE game client at one time.
a. That client must have focus - it is either in the foreground or the background. Not both, and you MUST explicitly focus this client through some action.
2. You may only send actions to clients in compliance with the above if it is in a manner consistent with the vanilla game.
a. This means, for example, to activate a module YOU must CLICK the module manually, or YOU (not a triggered event) must press the button on the keyboard that corresponds to the INGAME shortcut (ie f1 activates highslot 1), or in the case of titan bridges etc etc, right click and activate through other INGAME methods.
b. If you are not explicitly doing one of the above, you are IN VIOLATION.
3. The only exception to any of these rules would be if the client itself is performing some action, as in the case of the autopilot warping, approaching, and jumping or docking across multiple systems with one button press and/or toggle.
a. If you are modifying the game client in any way not authorized by CCP (ie downloading sanctioned patches to update the software version) you are IN VIOLATION.
b. Being in violation of subsection (a) of this rule will result in a zero-warning permanent ban of all accounts accessed and/or "owned" by the user.
Also, as a side note, in case anyone missed it (several have posted here about this) - if you are caught breaking the EULA on ANY of your accounts, punitive action will be taken against ALL of your accounts. It doesn't matter if you were only multiplexing on 3 alts - all 10 of your accounts will be banned for just those 3.
If you can't play by the rules, then don't play anymore. This is the Eve section of the forums, and there are plenty of other forum sections where you can go to multibox. I don't go to the WoW section and post about how I once played WoW and found it incredibly awful because of design decisions by the dev team over there (laughably awful pvp, a set amount of exhaustible content, and prior to these gold token things I'm hearing about, no way to multibox without shelling out tons of cash). None of us who actually play the game want to hear about you ranting and raving about how you're gonna sue CCP, or how much you hate the game. We're all people here who just want to have fun playing the games we enjoy in the manner we enjoy.
