Multi boxing isn’t the issue, it’s the symptom. And it actually helps the solve issue.
The problems are:
- The way nodes work
- Packing battle groups into a single shards
- AH is designed in a very market manipulation friendly way.
What does this do? It allows one or two people to artificially inflate prices, which in turn encourages more people to farm for profit and speculation. Multi boxing just means some people are getting a lot more resources which should mean more downward pressure on prices, which should mean lower prices, which should mean less people farming for profit and speculation.
Blizzard probably wont police market manipulation, probably wont give servers their own shard, and given how problematic the last change was they probably shouldn’t be doing things to the AH like instituting buy offers and other things.
That means changing the nodes to handle the increase in demand from having multiple servers in the zone.
