If you are in control of 4 toons, present at the controls ensuring no "automation" or "botting" occurs while you're away from the controls, then it should be allowed to use 3rd party software to enchance your gaming experience.

I see nothing wrong with using isboxer/innerspace - seeing all 4 accounts on 1 screen at the same time, where you can tell toon 1 to do combat art1, toon 2 to heal art1, toon 3 to do mezart1, toon 4 to do spell1 all with the same keypress.

you physically told toon 1 to do an action, you physically told toon 2 to do a different action, you physically told toon 3 to do a different action, and physically told toon 4 to another action.

ALL while being in control of all 4 accounts, present at the controls, doing different tasks, what difference does it make if you did all of that with 1 keypress? "its not a macro" it's not botting, or "automation" of anything.

If SOE bans use of innerspace and isboxer or keyclone software of anykind, then I too will be SEVERELY DEPRESSED, I have been playing this game since eq1 beta, until eq2 beta came out, then switched to Eq2 - I do NOT want to play another game at all, ever, I am a loyal paying customer, I do not prevent others from content or cause grief to others while I play, I absolutely HATE raiding and the NEED to raid to get epics/mythicals and even more HATE the NEED to be in a Lvl 80 group w/ full 200 aa's to get shards from the rediculously difficult TSO dungeons. I honestly would rather play Group quest. or Solo Quest w/ Group Ability with other online players. - If you want to raid then yes, loot should be better, have up to your 24 player limit, and then the difficultly should be harder, but now, your saying its solo quest (where it is completely hopeless for me to get anything better then solo type loot) heroic is now out of the question for me, since I cant control my own group.

Will SOE be responisble for the mass suicide of their playerbase? I am not alone in the way that I play, and I am positive you will be losing a lot of loyal customers if you choose to play the "i'll ban you, because i can" game even though the player did absolutely nothing wrong. and if you let other players "just get away with it" even though nothing wrong is being done, and they just havent gotten reported yet... is wrong as well.

We NEED a deffinate answer ASAP - I'm not going anywhere until you ban me either way, but if that ban ever happens because of "using 3rd party software" even though I play 100% legit, then /cry i give up.... I dont want to leave or get banned, and I definately want to continue multiboxing like how I have been for tha past 2 years.
