Multibox Farming

multiple addons that allow you to perform auction house scans with the simple press of a button. i myself used this p2w method to scan ah while doing otherstuff on main char. ended up making thousands of gold in snipes. I would never have done this if it ment not being able to do other stuff in game during that time. Its quite possible to play a bg while also playing the ah at the same time.

if iā€™m wrong, prove it. if not, get lost.

No, I donā€™t think Iā€™m going to bother. Quite a few people already did, but you just donā€™t seem to get it. So Iā€™ll just laugh at you instead.

Sounds to me like you know im right. No one has yet come up with a valid argument against it being p2w.

Its pay2play, for godā€™s sake, you canā€™t win if you donā€™t play, so of course itā€™s p2w.

What I was referring to is you saying having 2 characters is the same as having one twice as powerful, which is hilarious. And wrong.

p2p and p2w are different. you can have a p2p game that isnā€™t p2w

Iā€™d have to see an example of that. In any case, we can both agree that WoW isnā€™t one. Even if you donā€™t multibox, you gain an advantage of extra bank space if nothing else.
If doesnā€™t mean that extra accounts by themselves make you a god, but its for sure an advantage.

So itā€™s a method not multiboxing by your own admission.

how is that saying its not multiboxing?

You didnā€™t say P2W multiboxing.

Their you said it. Multiboxing is p2w

That is not what I said at all. Multiboxing is not pay to win. The sooner you stop trolling the better.

So you pay extra to multibox. It gives an advantage. And by some twisted logic that isnt p2w? Sure. You keep dreaming

Having an advantage is not pay to win. I think your logic is the one thatā€™s twisted.

5 friends farm strat UD. Shares total loot of letā€™s say 100g.
1 multiboxer farm strat UD. Keeps total loot of 100g.
Said mb also pay 5 subs and does all the work.
In conclusion I find it fair.

Edit: it would be pay to win to swipe your card and instantly get gold, free levels, gear etc in exchange for real money. But paying for and playing 5 chars to farm gold is not one of them. This is highly a subjective matter of course.

You know what else gives an unfair advantage? Living in Mommas basement with no job/life. Maybe we should ban the unemployed for having an unfair advantage over working folk too? Some people need to multibox so they can earn the gold to be competitive. I see no issue with that tbh.

Strawmans argument

That is by definition pay2win. He is making more gold because he paid more,and there are plenty of examples of stuff a multiboxer can do, that can only be done with multiple accounts that require litteraly 0 time investment and give a significant advantage.

Oh and another thing only multiboxers can do: play both horde and alliance characters on the same pvp server. So yet another way multiboxing is used to bypass core game design philosophy

Without going into technical details TOO MUCH, disallowing these people to harm the game further, would also help the fight against bots. Bots can literally cower behind Multiboxers; and the infamous Stratholme bots, have been seen answering and performing like humans sometimes, as if being supervised through giant MB setups, supported by 3rd party software. And the disgusting multiboxing is already very close to botting.
Remove them; and you help the fight against botters at the same time. 1 account on 1 computer in 1 instance of the game running. Fin. Then let Warden and Blizz Anti-cheat do the rest. They can deal with Virtual machienes and such most likely.
