They do not have to organize a team? Pretty much and advantage?
If one multiboxer fights 5 players, they are not at an advantage. But one player vs five should never be fair.
One vs one is fair (class imbalance not considered) so when one players has power of five, how is that not an advantage over the other player who has not?
Again: If I am willing and able play 5 simultaneously, doing all the work for all 5, why am I not allowed to?
But you are not doing the work of ALL 5, you are doing the work of one with the press of a button that controls all 5 simultaneously.
Because you can farm more gold per hour than any legit player ever could
Only if there is something to actually WIN by doing this specific thing as opposed to other things ingame. Because otherwise buying my kids a WoW account would also be pay2win.
And ive given you examples of other game mechanics that do the exact same, including farming low level dungeons on one single character.
That is the concept of about pay to win. If you can afford it you have an advantage over those who do not can or want to pay it.
Pay to win has no place in a subscription based game IMO.
No, buying your kids would not be pay2win. That is not the definition. The definition is paying with IRL money to get an advantage that you otherwise could not have gotten ingame - that is pay to win. Your similitude is not valid.
You have not given game mechanics that do the exact same, you have given valid methods of farming that can be done solo with one character with actual ingame talents to do so. This is -NOT-, in any kind of way, the same as multiboxing.
Multiboxers were able to solo mc on pservers imagine how op that would be on classic
Comparing 5 to one is assinne. They are not meant to be equal. Whether multiboxing is involved or not. If the argument is “they win because there is 5 against 1” then all groups should be banned because they have the same advantage over one character.
NO, LOL.

It’s not the same, for pete’s sake.
You are able to funnel the gold to 1 character and farm 5x the gold as anyone else because you pay for 5 accounts. No amount of mental gymnastic will change the fact that YOU as a player is getting 5x more loot from that dungeon than any INDIVIDUAL PLAYER in a regular group
No, not beeing able to afford a playstyle is not pay to win. Sorry.
Yes, yes it is
“Educated yourself” Please google Pay to Win.
We are not talking about fictional toons. We are talking about advantage to real life persons.
One real life person gets the same power in game as normally requiring 5 real life persons, because they pay more.
If you get attacked by a group, you are one real life person that gets attacked by five real life persons, and yeah, you will lose. That’s the idea behind MMO PvP.
If you get attacked by one real life person who can one shot you because they payed more, thats Pay to Win.
Right. I am simultaneously doing all the work for all characters. Now, if you wish to argue that it is too easy to do that, then I might even agree to an extent but more than anything that is down to game design. If the game is easy enough for that to be enough, is it the fault of the player?
I don’t see nothing wrong with it. I consider them as a 5 separate players. Would 5 druids wrecked me? Absolutely. Do I care about the fact that they are controlled by a single human being? Not at all. Would 5 characters controlled by 5 players in a group kill multiboxer? Probably.
The only reason to be against multiboxers for me is if 5 players stand no chance because of that immense coordination. But I don’t think that WoW works like that.
No it isn’t.
By that definition everything someone else can’t afford is pay to win. Including me buying a new TV my neighbour can’t afford.
And on the same note - Please google Blizzard’s stance on multiboxing. There you will find their answers to why they find it acceptable. You might not like their answers but they’re there for you to read
Please multiboxers were clearing mc on a harder version of the game. By comparison, clearing dungeons is trivial. Anyone with 5 accs can figure out how to do it within an hour. I did so myself on a server i set up for fun and it was trivial to figure out
