If multiboxers were such an issue, why not cap the amount of clients running at once?

So I read your replies…and frankly, neither do you it seems. All you did was disagree with him providing absolutely nothing of value in return… huh? So please, enlighten us with your great knowledge.

Oh, glad I am not the only one who thinks that.

He’s a known forum troll. He does his best to derail the conversation every time, guess he’s got nothing better to do.

Nowhere did he derail the conversation. His posts from the beginning were on topic. Disliking what he says isn’t trolling.

Its been 7 hours since you started this, and I am disappointed to find that no one has mentioned the fact that a virtual pc would easily get around this (I take it back, Humanbeak mentions this). The “cheat detecting app” would not be able to see any other program running on the host computer.

yes exactly. some people dont understand this. they see someone like myself out with 5-6 toons and oh a botter. however only 1 of my toons is doing something the rest it on follow just for some extra nalak mount attempts.

I cannot count the number of times I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the midnight showing in Pasadena back in the 80s. The good old days.

“run”
you mean selling their mats for a low price?
Thats good for us all, lol.
or do you mean a high price?
that would be flippers, not bots or boxers.

we had a small theater that would play it every saturday night at 11pm.
WAY too much rice in my hair and shoes afterward, lol

yeah, its pretty easy to tell the difference. lol.
Ive yet to see a bot boxing…or understand why a bot would need to box.

Unless this is some how tracked and enforced on the server side, virtual machines would still break it.

lmao.
how…again?
cheap mats are good for most players who craft.
If the gold price of mat X goes up, you wont have to worry about boxers, lmao, those of us who farm will be all over it till the price gets run down again.
player experience?
how…again?
Seeing a pack of 8 characters running in a bunch is doing what to you…exactly…to ‘ruin’ your game experience?
Hyperbole much?

Seems like they neutered it more than enough.
Now boxers have to run like I did when I tried it…manually.
its not as easy as a few in here seem to think, lol. Not without the fancy “automation” they think was permitted.

It depends on why you multibox.

If you box for group content, yeah that’s going to suck. If you box for gathering, then the impact was minimal. It’d be even less of an impact if there were a way to bind mining/herbing nodes to a key.

There are ways around a limit of one client.

Virtual machine.

I could… Fire up my desktop and two laptops. I could buy some cheap used computers, as wow literally can run on a potato.

Wow has been successfully run on a raspberry pi 4 using box86 and Wine, it could probably be run on older models if the only purpose is to be an AH bot.

Where there is a malevolent will, people will find a way.

The only people limiting to one client would hurt is legit players.

hey @Humanbreak, so do you think Legion TW coming back up in March will impact demand from casuals?

Since it will be right/smack in the middle of fresh 9.2 content it just seems like casuals and GD’ers will be busy with the new patch content rather than spamming Mage Tower wipes.

December was a special case since it was 1 month long (plus in the middle of a content drought) and a lot of casuals had time off for Christmas/etc… this time it will only be 1 week and (presumably) those same casuals/GD’ers won’t have a bunch of days/time off like back in December.

I’m still building up my stockpile of potions/consumables anyways just in case the prices are high again, but just wanted to hear your thoughts

If you believe people are botting, report them. It might not seem like Blizzard is doing anything but they do bans in waves so that those who are botting don’t have time to deduce how they’re being detected and adjust their programs accordingly.

I don’t think you understand how much money those bot farms are pulling in, or how trivial it would be for them to purchase ‘dozens of rigs’.

You want bots to go away? Tell your friends to stop doing business with them. As long as people are buying what they’re selling, they’re not going anywhere.

Report your friends :smiley:

I suspect the perceived FOMO of the MT (it’s not really FOMO since it’s coming back, but it’s highly time-limited) may still drive a lot sales to it, especially since the ZM rep was changed and is much more “do the rep in one sitting a week” friendly.

This is a tough one though - I don’t think we’ve had something like this happen before in the game.
