Blizz, Just Finish Off Multiboxing and Be Done With It

But are they unable to buy wow tokens? Are they not able to get professions and farm old mats (which can go for a good chunk of change) and exchange the gold they make for wow tokens?

They still spend/make less over time. Add up how much you’ve spent every month over the course of your WoW life. It’s a lot more than X expansions + X games. You won’t convince me otherwise.

There is no such thing as “free game time.”

They buy tokens. But guess what? Someone paid $20 to put that token on the AH in the first place.

Someone else is paying $20 for their monthly sub.

So no, you’re the one who is incorrect.

Don’t care

See restrictions here.

Of course not. Lost the argument, so why care now? LOL

Someone was going to put that token up regardless. Nobody actually thinks “hmm, I’m not going to spend $20 on this token unless a multiboxer buys it!”

Would rather not them ban multiboxing. I like playing on multiple characters at once in roleplay. Yes, it’s very niche. My typing speed is 85-90 words per minute.

But I alt tab and don’t use software. So. No. Not everyone that plays multiple characters at once is an issue. That’s like trying to ban a guild trying to farm something because “multiple people are in the same area at once and now I can’t farm”. Or something.

Banning the software is fine.

Please learn basic economics. :woman_facepalming:

Oh good, so they do have to spend something to get started, but only $15 and use that sub to bootstrap the rest.

No. Starter accounts had a gold cap of 20 gold prior to the prepatch. Now it is 1000 gold. But as far as I know, they are still unable to use the auction house, mail, or trade with other players.

I’m not sure how a character in that position could ever possibly earn hundreds of thousands of gold to spend on a token.

I await your hard evidence that shows the demographics of those who exchange in-game gold for wow tokens. For your convenience, please present the data as “multiboxers vs non-multiboxers”. Thanks!

I’ve no idea what other plays do with their money and their gold. But you have to wonder - what do regular mboxers do with their gold? I’m not talking about gold farmers who do it for a living and sell the gold on gold selling sites, but your regular mboxer player (and I know a few of them). My observation is that they do it to pay for their play time, their expansion costs and to purchase things in the game or from the store. They buy expensive mounts ala the spider and the longboy. They buy materials to make things that are profitable to make. And many of them do it because its fun to do. But if they aren’t selling the gold to someone, they are using it themselves - and that is no different than you or I earning gold in the game and using it for ourselves.

My only real interest is in goldseller farmers, and I’m happy to see them taken out and licked to with an inch of their lives by murlocs. As long as regular mboxers don’t interfere with my personal gaming, I don’t give a hoot about them.

So it’s fine for multiboxers to fly around in flocks and tap entire nodes by themselves, leaving all other players without?

:sunglasses: I have been known to mutter at such times but then I generally just follow them around and grab the nodes at the same time.

… what? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Do you even remotely pay attention to tokens and the prices? Do you even have a clue what you’re talking about?

What are you even trying to prove here?

You’re the one who literally said, and I quote:

Right there. Said by you. :point_up:

So what am I proving to you exactly when you’re the one that gave us this information?

Uh, saying a huge majority of x group of players in no way means “most players who buy this product are in x group”…are you even reading the same messages that I am?

You’re making absolutely no sense whatsoever.

You said:

And I said:

Thus… Blizzard is making more money off of them.

Period. End of story. Whatever way you twisted anything is senseless.

You want to say “learn basic economics” but can’t even provide the percentage of the playerbase that buys the wow tokens with in-game gold, broken down in two simple groups: multiboxer vs non-multiboxer.

If 90% of multiboxers buy WoW tokens, but only .02% of wow token purchases are made by multiboxers, then what’s your argument regarding wow token price? This is why I’m asking for you to provide the hard data on wow token sales makeups since you asserted that banning multiboxers will screw up wow token cash sales.
