Spawn rates weren’t nerfed it was the fact that you have druid multiboxing clown cars that can instantly fully harvest the node with a single click and it despawns for everybody else. Nodes either A) Disappear after reaching it’s gather limit or B) After a set amount of time. If somebody is on a route you will never find any nodes. There’s been multiple times this expansion where I’d spend over an hour in Nazjatar and walk away with with less than 20 Zin’anthid while seeing death balls of druids in flight form grabbing everything.
The forums excuse is “hurr they keep the price low because they flood the market!” when anybody with common sense wasn’t doing that. They literally just sell in batches and if the price goes too low they reset the price. If normal players can’t gather they have literally no other option than to buy your herbs.
It wont even matter now though seeing as the clown cars will be banned. Hopefully permanent bans too.
Yes, but it’s a lot easier to buy up your few thousand to flip, or just leaving it to sell quickly before my stash comes up next in line than having to deal with 30k that a multiboxer undercuts with.
If you’re not a multiboxer, I’m happy to buy up your small stack to flip for higher. It’s when I’m faced with the decision to have to buy up an enormous stack in order to either flip and/or have my product come up next in line.
If you undercut by a marginal amount, I’ll just cancel/repost.
Do you mean like Sanguicell and Tidal Cores?
Personally I disagree. Multiboxing, to me, was directly linked to the automation software.
While technically running multiple accounts is still allowed, and yes players will still alt tab/click through each character/account - there will be many players that will just stop because it’s too tedious. The whole point of multiboxing to many people was the efficiency.
In the end, the number of multiboxers is reduced and the supply/demand relationship still ends up with upward pressure on price.
Do you guys get this off a list of talking points you have to make?
You sound like you’re unaware that wow can be played in the windowed mode, which allows people to resize window so they fit on their monitors (yeah, amazing that lots of players use multiple monitors, eh? You learn something new every day, I guess).
So nobody at all cycles through multiple full screen instances of wow to randomly find the one they need to do something on.
The fact that so many antiboxers keep repeating this obviously absurd claim just shows how unsophisticated you guys are not to know how windows works.
It’s common that they multibox - as in they have a 2nd account that does nothing but post/snipe auctions all day while they play the game on their main account.
I believe far fewer actually multibox 3+ accounts, using software to mass farm materials.
Even if you have multiple windows, you have to go to each character now and perform the action for each of them. That takes a lot of the efficiency away and I guarantee you it will be a deal breaker for a bunch of current multiboxers - they’ve already started going to blizzard for refunds on their shadowlands purchase on those additional accounts they’ve been using.
Also - I’m not antimultiboxing. I also stated this up above. I had learned to work around/use multiboxers in the past. But that doesn’t mean them being gone won’t help me.
