Multiboxing is a big reason not to wpvp.
Battlegrounds are ruined with multiboxers are present
Trying tagging a mob or mining a node with a multi boxer around
It makes the game much much worse for everyone but the boxer

I don’t dislike multi-boxing although I don’t think I’d ever do it because I wouldn’t want to spend the money on additional subs, extra rigs, whatever goes into it. If people want to do that, fine, but I just play to have fun and although I see how being able to effectively solo 5 mans might actually be hella fun, the money element keeps me away. I’m invested but 15 a month plus a token here and there is my limit.
Guess what? Not all of us who multibox engage in such behavior. And I have been around when multiboxers are present. I had toons on Darkspear during the era of the mass multiboxers/streamers. Trust me, been there, done that.
But you are lumping all of us in to one little box. And guess what, darlin’, that is not how the world works. Learn to separate out the chafe, aye?

This. I wanted to scream (and did) so many times trying to simply farm enough herbs in Nazjatar and having stuff despawn under a cloud of 18+ druids…

I box two at once, but don’t farm. Maybe that’s why I have only noticed druids farming maybe twice in 17 years. That one time some Druid picked my flower…

nope was done farming for the day
Funny part is, is this game will eventually get to a point, that unless they decide to shut it down completely, they may not change the rules/ tos etc, but they will just turn a blind eye to multiboxing, with, or without software usage 
Heck games like Aion, Eq, among others used to really crackdown on multiboxers, and multiboxers who used software to do it, but they rarely get banned in those games nowadays, unless they are using it to grief other players.

How many taps do you think a node has?

Then why does blizzard allow EVERY player to have up to 8 sub-accounts under one battle.net? Or the ability to run more than one instance of the game at a time?
Same difference with multiple farming players that aren’t boxing…
No software is required to multibox. Adding software/hardware made things easier, but it can be done without using any software except Windows.

I am glad you have come over to my side! I have been multiboxing since Vanilla.

Doing this gets your alts through world quests, but will never get them M+ gear. Trying to multibox in LFR will also get you kicked because keeping 5 toon or even 2 toons off of bad stuff is super difficult and not worth it. The dude with 1 account will always be far ahead of any boxer. If a boxer wants M+ gear on an alt, they will need to run them separately. The getting ahead idea is not really a thing unless someone thinks 5 undergeared alts is getting ahead. The main advantage is fewer corpse runs.
I have a sneaking suspicion that multiboxers generally don’t care about running M+. Gold making is in the open world, and mog farms can be done in legacy content.

But that’s the thing - I’m not looking to super gear out my army of alts. I just want to do quests and have fun, while having multiple femme dorfs follow behind my primary toon. I don’t do gathering professions with them (and if I do, I solo play that specific toon to gather and level their profession). I don’t rampage lfr or mythics or heroics.
I just like having tons of alts, and I like to multibox while doing it.
How is this concept so hard for some of you to grasp? I play to have fun with my toons. Not to become some derpy l33t hardcore roflmancer.
/rollseyes y’all need to start actually listening to what other people say and stop interjecting what YOU think we do.

Many in the community, as well as developers, think players shouldn’t be doing anything other than running the same boring 8 dungeons over and over, participating in an unbalanced trashfire of a PvP system, or play DDR in 15 minute-long boss fights 4 nights a week.
That extremely narrow vision leaves out a humongous portion of the game, and it’s why the game is where it is today - mostly abandoned to rot except for “endgame”.

This is why I would do it.
Basically yeah lol. When I started realizing I would soon be able to afford paying for 4 accounts at the same time for optimal transmog farm, I suddenly started accepting multiboxing… then it was banned lmao.
One innovative tech Blizzard could develop to level the multibox playing field and as a cool technology compared to other MMOs, is a feature where you can set one of your own alts as a custom follower with basic bodyguard/pet AI, but with full benefits of being able to also collect gear and ressource nodes. That would be pretty sweet to run around with one of your own toons helping out. XD
