Hello and thank you for taking time to look at this email, I realize during election time your all very busy.

My direct question to you the canidates is:

- Are you for or against Input Duplication in EVE Online

- Are you for or against the various tools listed above (ISBoxer, AutoHotKey, mutli button keyboards etc)

- Should players be able to control multiple accounts in EVE Online, if so, should their be a limit?

- A CCP spokesperson recently stated that he would like to see EVE being brought to 1 Person = 1 Pilot, I am assuming along the lines of games lik Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen.  Your thoughts?

- If CCP does decide to limit mulitboxing in EVE (which it appears they have started to) would game design changes make more sense vs. banning players or do you feel this is a correct path for them to currently follow.

Background

CCP recently announced that Input Duplication was no longer allowed in EVE Online (that is sending one command, say F1, to more then 1 client at a time) for most activities (things like window placement etc are exempt from this ruling).

As an avid multiboxer, I am trying to find what canidates support or are against multiboxing in EVE online.

Input Duplication is one of many features found inside of ISBoxer but the only one CCP has declared officially to be against the EULA, prior to that its usage was either allowed or overlooked for 5 + years.  Many other MMO's support Multiboxing and some go a step further allowing things like complex key macros and UI customization (World of Warcraft as an example).

So far CCP has refused all requests for communication and clarifcations on not only Input Duplication but a list of other questions our community has.

The Multiboxing Community can be considered large or small.  Many players multibox but only some of those players use tools like ISBoxer / AutoHotKey, hardware tools like X-Keys / Logitech or Razer devices or the tools popping up in the official EVE Technology Lab forum.

Community sites such as dual-boxing.com has 48,000 registered users and EVE Online is a promoinent game listed in that community.  I would imagine the community and other players who multibox in EVE Online as people very concerned with the current and possible future changes that might be implemented in the game.

If you have questions or need further information please dont hesitate to contact me.

Also I am the co-host on www.LegacyofaCapsuleer.com Podcast where we cover a wide range of topics in EVE, if your are interested in being a guest please do not hesitate to contact me, no matter your opinion on Multiboxing (even more so if your against it!).
