Ban multiboxing

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

Multiboxing is fine. The problem is Zinanthid or whatever.

@Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak

yet youre in here every day complaining about it.

Except not, I’ve just replied to replies. Not really caring doesn’t mean I can’t argue for why it shouldn’t be legal.

@Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak

5 accounts is 5 accounts. Dont know what more to tell you.

Idk why you think the accounts being separate matters. Make and account and let it sit there and let me know when it starts playing itself.

@Rankin-shandris

This is you literally redefining what P2W means.

Not at all. It’s a pretty wide definition. It’s paying for an advantage over those that don’t pay.

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

@Glaire-heartseeker

You’ve redefined it so broadly that it applies to everyone who plays the game.

[Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak]

@Glaire-heartseeker

Yes…you do know. Stop pretending not to.
5 accounts cant do any more or any less regardless of how many players are behind them.

@Glaire-heartseeker

Not at all. It’s a pretty wide definition.

Wrong.
CONTEXT determines meaning and intent.
“he’s gay”
Is he cheerful or is his partner a man?
CONTEXT will show which.
‘cheating’ in THIS context is breaking the rules of the game.

@Glaire-heartseeker

huh…yeah…like someone who CAN afford to buy a token to buy mats and gear over someone who CANT afford to buy a token.
Keep trying?

I can pay money right now for the ability to one-shot anyone I please, run myself through dungeons, gain extra gold and experience, basically gain more of anything a single toon can gain short of raiding but without the need for others.
I didn’t redifine anything there. That’s just P2W through multiboxing.

You keep saying this. You have yet to explain what you have actually won in your scenario.

@Glaire-heartseeker

If multiboxing didn’t have benefits very few would do it.

Oddly enough, very few do actually multibox.

@Glaire-heartseeker

Semantics is saying that because you’re using different accounts that somehow that makes you 5 different people.

No, semantics is using loaded phrases like ‘legal cheating’.

@Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak

@Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak

you can also do the exact same thing by grouping up with the same number of players and going out ganking.

This is the real comment that makes people arguing for multiboxing look either clueless or dishonest. Like, you’re admitting that you as a multiboxer have the power of 5 players.
I’m not even saying that multiboxing is that big of a problem, maybe it is, it’s hard to gauge how big of an effect they have. But stop denying what it is. Suppose money weren’t an issue and I could multibox forever, there’d be no reason not to. It would benefit me in almost every scenario.

your forgetting that a group of people would not give the leader all there loot before leaving group only a dishonest person would say it was the same!

git gud.
Your needs are no more important than anyone elses.
thats all thats left to say in this thread.

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

So if you run a dungeon or raid and someone hands over a piece of loot to someone else, do you call them cheaters?

[Palila-shadowsong]

theres no comparison between the two. just trying to confuse the topic! the difference is any is to run a raid and everyone had to give you all the loot, sounds like fun.

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

How about world first guilds that do split runs where they funnel loot to their main characters?

[Palila-shadowsong]

you cant funnel loot soul bound. there is no comparison between that and the topic try to stay focused.

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

Uh, what? You absolutely can trade soulbound loot in dungeons and raids.

So I can get loot from a boss, see that it’s not an upgrade, and then trade it to someone else in the group who needs it.

[Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak]

@Palila-shadowsong

you cant funnel loot soul bound. there is no comparison between that and the topic try to stay focused.

uh…for something like 2 hours you can give a lot of it away to players who were there.
Im curious too. So is it ‘cheating’ for me to have a guild who funnels gear down to me while you dont?

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

It’s a pretty common tactic when someone hits 120, we’ll run them through some Mythics and Mythic+ dungeons with as many characters of the same armor class as them to get them some gear.

[Glaire-heartseeker]

Imagine thinking having a guild of people is the same as you having several accounts.

it wasnt intentional but early BFA I ran a 5 man and some player just handed me a HUGE upgrade and he ported out.
Holy crap. It is still the best piece that particular character has since I havent played it much since then.
I can see how a guild could run members thru and seriously gear them up pretty quick

[Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak]

@Glaire-heartseeker

5 characters is 5 characters. Imagine thinking they arent, lol

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

If trading loot is bad, then it’s bad no matter how many people are involved.

[Konzervo-wyrmrest-accord]

Do people not understand the profit > people not liking something in a game, concept?

It’s like these people don’t get it at all…

[Glaire-heartseeker]

@Rahkeetahp-aerie-peak

5 characters is 5 characters. Imagine thinking they arent, lol

5 humans is 5 humans, not 1 human with 5 accounts.
The hard part, that you pay for, is finding a guild that will pass you loot.
