We pay for multiboxers

Good luck reporting like 20 acc’s stacked on each other. I did, till another MB stack of druid came and done the same. It’s pointless as the problem should be ended in root, not per-case.

I did contact customer support and was told they’ve also paid the sub and have a right to play the game their way but they’ll look into it. Then they closed ticked on their end.

Forum is literally where I should be discussing this issue.

There is a Hore Quest in Main Chain Questline where you have to go around in the Sethrak settlement around, use the quest item on Sethrak and then kill them.
Doesn’t count if target dies before item activates or if the target becomes gray (you literally cannot target nothing with this MB crowd and their auto-target macros).
WM on or off didn’t matter, they’re on both.

Tell me you’re trolling.

In order for this to stop you need to find a way to stop people buying tokens, this won’t happen so eventually the issue becomes whether you vote with your wallet or deal with the consequences of playing a game with a system like this.

Does not buying SL count as voting with my wallet? Or how do I do it correctly according to you?

Tokens are a solution to stop gold selling, and it did so to some degree.
Problem isn’t tokens in this case, it is allowing people to actually bot multiple accounts after their main one and be rewarded for it.

Blocking / Blacklisting all 3rd party software injecting into the client input method would stop it. And according to the guy above you can still MB without 3rd party software so it’s all fine, right?

No sorry, don’t recognise that quest that you refer to and i think you are trolling, wowhead link please.

I can’t believe that you are not able to proceed in world of warcraft because of a multiboxer, it just doesn’t make sense. I’m sorry but i think you are telling a fib.

It’s actually even worse as you don’t use the item in this one, I remembered wrong.

Believe what you want, go to the Abandoned Burrows and see for yourself the what is going on.

Yes if your intention is to move away from WoW as a part of this decision.

I agree, also to some degree.

They kind of are part of the problem if they’re the way that multiboxers play for free. By allowing the token to be placed within the game for other players to buy for gold and exchange for game time or Blizzard currency Blizzard are actively allowing this to happen.

The alternate solution could have been that the purchased token only results in gold for the purchasing player. So basically £17 (the cost for tokens in the UK) would provide nothing but gold for me if I were to buy one, with the amount of gold depending on when the token was used up.

I’ve yet to see your mind changed, I was intrigued as to what the reply would be from Amirarinaldi but it amounted to pretty much nothing on that little debate.

I don’t have much problem with MB’s running their instances like in the older expensions.
Another idea - detect MB software when it’s launched and phase them together with other MB’s. And non-MB’s on seperate shards.
Basically a soft-banning MB’s on seperate shards, like Dark Souls used to do with the cheaters.

Indeed. Many words written, not much substance.

Were you flagged for pvp, were they flagged for pvp?

You need to kill 12 sethrak? So you are saying that the multiboxer was killing every sethrak that you needed to kill before you could and you could not tag them?

I’m still having a hard time believing this, but why would you lie? I mean, it’s not like you have some kind of zealous hatred for multiboxing and would spread lies to denigrate it.

So i will believe you.

You could not complete the quest because someone was stopping you from completing it and then tried to blackmail you.

You reported this to customer services and they said there is nothing wrong with that.

You decide to talk about it on forums.

Have you considered customer service forums for this particular thing?

Also, I must say, that the fact that the person who tried to exploit you was a multiboxer, does not mean that all multiboxers will do the same thing or that multiboxing is a bad thing, because a multiboxer was able to put you in that position that you were in.

It seems that you have had a bad experience with another player and because that other player is a multiboxer, you want to punish all multiboxers.

My point is that by making a token worth only gold for the purchasing player a multiboxer would have to pay far more in real currencies to play the game, ultimately it makes the cost of doing this very unattractive (at least to those who do many accounts).

Using this method I’d have to pay £9.99 a month (or whatever the 3/6 monthly cost is) for each account to be active in game if I multiboxed and that’s after the cost for the game itself.

I’m was 99% against any type of boosting, but now i’m 100%. How i never took notice that boosting is a form of paying to win, damn.

Agree. Blizzard might not do it because they do get money from them, but i believe banning those will result in long-term gains.

Correction. Not Multiboxer. Tens of Multiboxers covering whole Abandoned Burrows.
I’ve completed the quest only cuz of Frost Shock tagging that one mob spawn that was a bit on the side and they had to run into range of Starfall spam.
And it didn’t work every time, I’ve spend over an hour on a simple kill quest.

Customer Support sub-forums are dead. The only way to got traction on any topic is posting it on GD in EU forums.

Just cuz some MB’s are maining their own mind, doesn’t mean that currently WoW has a problem with them disrupting basic gameplay of simply questing.

Also, you asking if I was on WM on or off proves you did not read what I writen so far as I already answered it.
They were on both WM ON / OFF shards.

agreed! 100%

You are very unlucky.

It seems that many others are in your position and you can all get together and bring about some kind of change.

Work together, organise and bring down the multiboxing menace.

Set azeroth free.

Touche. I agree.

“Boosting” un-does any kind of ranking / leveling / progression system.
The whole idea of progression is gaining things as you move forward.
Buying these things means simply it being a service, not a progression.

I don’t know how to explain it more clearly…

It would reduce multiboxing by a great amount too.

That was actually quite obvious from the start dude. In a game that you can buy gold with money and you can buy anything with gold, you’re basically able to pay to get what you want. no matter how difficult the content.

Some may say it’s just gear/mount/title/whatever else. But in reality, that’s the end game of wow. If getting those isn’t a win then what is? Game’s pay to win and it’s allowed completely for some reason and a lot of players are ok with it too which is weird.

Oh really ?. I’m multiboxing right now and I don’t even use any add ons.

Learn to use the correct terms and words please.

OK smartypants, where’s this rulebook that says it’s cheating ? I want a link please to whatever this dreamt up organisation is that has that sort of authority that they can tell Blizz how to administer their game in that way.

seems like rogue multiboxing will be a thing in shadowlands.

you can report MBs for griefing on the very technical definition of griefing in Blizz’s rulebook,due to the Multiboxers ability to alter other peoples game expiriance

That’s a different issue all together. Harassment is against the ToS but in itself it’s not cheating.
