15 years later and you still can’t rip off players at the AH because multiboxers keep you in check. I’d be posting all these Boxxing is pay to win threads as well if I was a botter / farmer who’s goal was to sell mats at vastly inflated prices.
TBH I don’t feel either way about them. My main source of gold is selling my wares on the AH. If I see a MB has posted the same item I wanted to post I’ll just post my items for 1 sliver less. I can see how it gives them an advantage but it’s not really an unfair, if they’re farming then just go to a different spot. The only real problem I have with them is if they’re farming mats from an area where a WQ is in, then it can get annoying
What would be the point? It makes absolutely no sense to try to talk to someone with their fingers jammed into their ears up to the second knuckle. You, like most other anti-boxers, have made it clear you’re not interested in discussion; you just want to rant because someone is doing something that somehow bothers you.
the players still each get their rewards. even if you funnel some boe’s to the guild, you’re still getting your toon geared. that said, your example is pointless to begin with because guilds aren’t going out and farming herbs as a group.
I have read fewer dumber things on these forums then this. There is obvious advantages to multiboxxing. What a joke. There are threads, made by people who multibox talking about he advantages of doing it.
It’s not one account. It’s one person controlling 10 accounts. And ONE person bringing in the benefits. That’s how they are able to undercut everyone else because the cost of production for them is so incredibly low. It’s not ONE person farming each node, it’s 10. That’s a massive amount of efficiency.
Grasping at straws though? You guys are in so much denial that you can’t even agree with each other.
Boxxers don’t help with prices.
They only make it so the average player doesn’t make as much gold when they farm.
From my understanding, antiboxer here wants to discuss the legitimacy of the Player vs Character.
The Human vs The Character.
What Blizzard care is that each character is equal and has the same limitation and opportunity.
There is no character benefit to multiboxing.
The player has to pay n time the amount of money to enter. Theres no way to make that money back. The amount for each expansion, cannot be recovered.
Gold cannot be turn into real cash. Bnet balance is not real money, its like a points card.
The player multiboxing is always at a loss of money compared to the ones not multiboxing.
I just paid 350$ to preorder shadowlands. you only paid 70$. This is my cost of entry putting me at a disadvantage. Plus 75$ a month to maintain the subs…
Tell this to anyone who wants to start multiboxing, its a deterrent on its own.
Then I had to setup my characters, learn how to actually multibox…
What about the boxxers that farm gold then put it all in one character and that one characters gets majority of the benefits?
That one character made 10x the gold/resources which would take another player 10x the time to make.
Just because you want to sustain all your characters doesn’t mean everyone else wants the same thing, some people just want to pay more to gain more. And multibox is the way to do that.
They pay 10x more money, get 10x more resources, all goes into 1 char, so that 1 character has significantly more advantage than other people’s characters.
Because those people are not paying to win, they are not paying to gain advantage over others. Boxxers however, pay to gain more resources, buys better gear with those resources and therefore they have an advantage over others.
How did they get that advantage? Paying cash, that is why we call it Pay to Win, because they paid to get the advantage.
It’s not about how they manage their characters, It’s about how they paid $150 instead of $15 so they can amass resources in 10 times the speed. distorting the truth will get you nowhere.
You know there are players who do not multibox that have 100x the in-game income I have? Because they have established a gold empire in the auction house?
Playing the AH, Reseting market, using hostile Market manipulation (that would get you sent to jail IRL). AND they don’t pay anything, Rich get richer, are they winning?
Those resources are accessible for everyone.
There’s is NO WAY i can gear my multibox team full of 475… I would have to play each of them individually. All my multiboxing teams are capped at 445-450ilvl. How is that winning again?
Winning in WoW is up to the player. I win each day if I go to sleep happy and know that I had fun playing the game. I lose everyday that I’m not having fun.
You don’t tell me what is fun, what is MY winning. I’m not playing YOUR competition.
