Should Multiboxing really be ok?

While some quests are easier, a lot of quests require you to gather items, and that’s a nightmare if you have to gather 5x the amount.

Then suggest which rule should be changed and how. That would be more productive.

I don’t understand this backwards reasoning where there is no clear issue or rule being broken and yet we’d somehow need to argue as to why it should remain as it is when there was no case made as to why it would need to change.

You answer this question yourself already. The difference is that it’s one person doing it all, not five.

One person that as a single person gets the power normal requiring five persons.

One person that can solo grind as powerfull as normally needs 5 people organized

One person killing other players with the power normally requiring five other players to team up.

And this because he pays more.

What Diokhan said.

There’s several reasons above.

If you’re still asking “what rule”? You’re literally in a topic about Multiboxing, is it so hard to guess which rule should be changed/removed?

If you find something about multiboxing that did not get a blue post answer, i will be happy to participate.
Anything else is just pure waste of time.

Multi-boxing will never be banned because each “box” is a separate sub.

I don’t know how many times I have to repeat this no-brain argument until you, people, finally understand it.

@ people saying “there are no rules against it, so it’s okay” - of course there are no rules in case it benefits Blizzard.

1 account with 5 characters or 5 accounts with 1 character. From one point of view there is no difference.

Edit: I don’t think it’s a money issue for Blizzard to allow it. It just doesn’t break their rules.

Its’ not.

It’s the same as when you do a quest with a group. And with a group mowing down through mobs like they are not even there, no downtime, shared XP, its always faster/easier and more efficient. And don’t forget, in the process he has leveled up 5 characters faster than you level a single.

If there was anything gamebreaking about it i’m sure Blizzard would had it removed years ago, as they did with other things like automation addons and such.

And as for “terrible” … that is entirely personal. I think it is an awesome aspect of World of Warcraft.

Further more, i am convinced that this dislike for multiboxing comes forth from two things, namely:
1 - Fear of the unknown. May i suggest some education on Multiboxing. You will soon find out it is a harmless form of playing that requires a lot of skill and know-how and is quite vulnerable in PvP.
2 - The idea that a multiboxer swims in gold because everything is multiplied by the number of characters. Forgetting that also the gear requirements multiply as well as the gold costs that any other character has.

In short; Get educated and find out how wrong you are.

Again: If I am willing and able to handle playing 5 games simultaneously, why am I not allowed to do so?

And if I am, on what basis would each of my characters not gain the exact same benefit as any other taking the exact same action.

And no. It is not clear. There are many rules you could look at in this context. You are the one arguing for change in the rules. I am only asking: What change? Seems like a reasonable follow up to me.

Multiboxing a dungeon isn’t anny simpler than doing it with 5 man.

multiboxing pvp vs the same numbers isn’t an advantage at all.

In your case it didnt matter if it was a multiboxer or 5 different players, he would have been dead.

If Blizzard didn’t allow it then how come they let you have 8 Warcraft accounts in your battle.net (blizzard) account?

Complete BS.

Blizzard bans botters, cheaters and other wrongdoers by the hundreds or thousands over time. Im sure they can live without the accounts of a handfull of multiboxers.

Such a rediculous argument. :roll_eyes:

Yh because there are just infinite mobs to farm everywhere and you’ll never have to wait for stuff to respawn.

Your not going to get anything changed just because you don’t agree with it. Deal with it or do it yourself, just stop crying on the forums.

I don’t see the connection here, my friend.

Exactly, darling.

@Shogath

Just fyi. How geared do you think you have to be to farm gold in dungeons etc? Not geared at all. So yes, gold is greatly increased if you multi-box farm dungeons for example.

Fear of the unknown? This is classic, not retail. World PvP is indeed very ruined if you meet a multiboxer. It’s not really vulnerable.

@Superium No, it’s not easier than a 5 group in terms of strength. But in terms of not having to wait, not having to find a tank, simply not having to depend on others to do it is making it alot simpler.

If 5 different players with 1 character each would have come, that’d be totally fine. But why should you run into a guy with the strength of 5? It’s not fair.

It’s a never ending stoooooory…

Guys, Blizzard did not stop multiboxing for 15 years and they wont stop it now.
If you want to remove the multiboxers from the game, gank them. Find friends to help and just destroy them. One mass fear and you can easily kill them. Make their live ingame hell, it sucks to corpserun 5 characters and then set everything up again. Hunt them until they loose the will to play, if it bothers you so much.

Please close this topic.

Besides. If it’s so vulnerable and anti-gold farming as some of you state, why even multibox? For what purpose?

No it isn’t.

1 multiboxer with a 5 man team gets the same loot as a group of 5 different players.

In both cases its 5 separate accounts playing.

That is your ignorance speaking. Read up on it and get educated.
