Ban multiboxing

I said not always, and you’re going to equate not being able to multibox with running cars off the road? Wow.

Eh, meant multi-boxing my bad, not botting. But same idea buying multiple accounts etc…

Can we ban people who constantly spread misinformation about multiboxing?

Like how can so many spout random nonsense as fact. Its almost religious how many people think things like “multi boxing makes blizz lots of money” or " multi boxers ruin the economy".

Activision-Blizzard makes billions of dollars a year. There are so few multiboxers out there that they could ban them all tomorrow and not even notice.

and farming an herb.

my point is rhetorical but some people like multi boxing and some don’t however it is what it is and Blizzard has made their stance clear they have no official position either way

they don’t endorse it and they don’t ban it so people just need to accept that MBing is NOT going away learn to adapt

Perhaps instead of stating that they are wrong, perhaps provide some information as to how they do not? Or how they have zero impact on the economy, because most people as you can see by the likes on the OP point, agree there is an effect by them that is negative, if you disagree then state specifically to your argument.

You said they are random nonsense as fact, yet you provide nothing specific to their accusations yourself?

Heh, if we just accepted everything Blizzard ever said. Lol

Ive posted in many other threads about this topic and its laid out pretty well. I dont expect you to have followed every thread always though.

People liking a post doesnt make it true. Just because someone agrees with you, doesnt make your point valid. Thats pretry much making yourself an echo chamber and dancing in it.

I never said MB have zero impact on the economy. But to assert that MB are the sole reason for all AH related problems is easily false.

To restate this another way. People like the op are blaming the concept of supply and demand on MB.
This is not the evidence you asked for, this is just the simple reasoning that makes what they believe false.

Most people who I end up arguing with on this topic will always spout personal anecdotes as evidence so here I can do the same.

When I look at the AH I can clearly see that it is a chain of individual people trying to make a quick sale that drastically drop the price of mats. (Herbs in this case) I can tell that because you can see 1000+ listings from one person. Then 4-5 undercuts of random number stacks. These undercuts are people selling off what they picked in (whatever time frame they spent farming)

Random people cause massive changes to the AH, not multi boxers.

I generally dont provide “evidence” for these topics because they people who believe MB are to blame for their problems ignore facts and evidence.

Here’s the deal, the only reason the OP wants multiboxing gone is to get rid of competition. They seem to think prices will skyrocket and they’ll be rolling in gold if only those pesky multiboxers would go away. What they’ve completely ignored, even when it’s been brought to their attention, that the main reason prices have dropped is because it’s the end of the expansion. Demand is down and supply is still the same. Even if they ban multiboxers, there simply aren’t enough of them out there to have any significant impact on the overall cost of materials on the AH.

You need to learn what words mean before you start throwing them around.

Yeah, AH is kinda a trash heap in its own right, I don’t deny that. I simply don’t believe that multiboxing entitles someone to multiple amounts of loot.

Right I get that but how can it also be good for the game if you go to say Nazjatar or whatever it’s called and fly around for 10 minutes before finding a single node, then it disappearing when you go to touch it. Like I get why people would be pissed off at that, I don’t blame multi-boxers for the economic woes in WoW, but they do have in a way a negative impact on specific areas like previously mentioned that I personally feel would be good to be addressed.

Some solutions would be making that herb more available in other areas of the game, or making it spawn more often. I am not referring to people trying to gold farm, but people literally trying to make some mats for personal use for their own raid night.

A lot of people agreeing with something doesn’t make it right. It just means those people are ignorant. This issue has been addressed by Blizzard probably a hundred times over the last 15 years. You can go look up their explanation for it. You can see why it isn’t botting or cheating. They’re the owners of the game. They get to decide what is and isn’t cheating in their game.

I have a very simple solution to your problem here: get better at the game. Gathering is a competition. It’s a form of competitive play, just like the AH. You can’t expect Blizzard to ban everyone that’s better than you at every facet of the game.

That’s a problem with Zin’anthid itself. They made an extremely important herb that can only be gathered from one zone, and that zone is no longer end-game content. So you have fewer shards being spun up, so each individual shard will have a higher percentage of herbalists competing for nodes.

So the problem still isn’t with multiboxing.

Having an add on that tells you when you’ve been undercut doesn’t make you better.

Yes I agree, but Blizzard doesn’t get around to fixing the shard so the issue still remains through the duration of that expansion, and the multi-boxers do play a negative role in that regard.

It’s far, far more involved than just running a single add on if you want to be competitive in making gold on the AH.

talking crazy doesn’t help with your point getting across in fact makes us all feel there definitely is a problem with multiboxers which we already know that’s why were here!
