Moratorium on Multi-Boxers in SL

I wonder what an MB-only server would look like? I’m certain there’d be quite a few unhappy folks.

Yes,i’m saying that.geesh.

There were 4 or 5 of them farming the big packs there. I was only hitting three of them that spawn reallly quick. Some clown comes down and tags the three Im hitting so I refused to skin till he walked away.
He said something smart mouthed then did it again.
So I shot over and hit everything in the field there. Kept doing it a few times every time theyd respawn and not skinning.
after maybe 5 minutes the joker relented and left me alone.

about two hour later he came back and says’ You still here’ lol.

How do you know?

I’d rather put the small handful of anti-multiboxers in their own shard to protect everyone from them.

Lolol really? My post is removed because I called these multiboxxers out??

This is the hill you wanna die on Blizzard… Fine. You just told me you’re okay with blatant unfair practices.

Might as well prepare my bags.

so distortion of facts and posting on alts is kinda an anti boxer ‘thing’…good to know.

I’d be up for that! Seriously, make a server/shard where no MBer’s are allowed and make sure the AH doesn’t benefit from MB’ers. I think that would be a good compromise as well. :slight_smile:

Great suggestions, keep them coming!

and the entitlement is palpable

Thanks again.

And then you have to deal with bots and realize they were the true problem all along.

tell ya what. I got a $100 sitting here that says it’d be the lowest population realm in the entire game and then you’d be upset that you cant sell anything.

The argument that boxxers don’t disrupt elements of the game falls to the wayside when they are able to herb/mine obscene amounts in a vastly smaller timeframe. Since each box character represents a collective entity for which the resources are central to, it creates a tangible advantage that perfectly equates to “pay to win”.

a person boxxing 5 characters with herbalism and mining will be able to collect 5x the resources per interaction. at that rate, we go from 5 to 1, 10 to 2, 15 to 3, 20 to 4, 25 to 5, 30 to 6, 35 to 7, 40 to 8. in 8 steps we went from a 4 resource difference to a 32 resource difference, and this gap can occur within the span of minutes (depending on spawn rate) and that is limited to a single farmed resource. double it with 2 gathering professions so 80 to 16… a whopping 64 resource difference in the equivalent time. This has repurcussions for the economy for both the boxxer (who makes a tangible profit no matter how you slice it) and the non-boxxer who is now not only disadvantaged in raw resource, but also disadvantaged from potential profit (of whatever form) from that reduced resource.

I think I encountered this in Nazmir. It was really frustrating to get my quest done. I mean I’m all for ethical usage of MB but if you’ll are gonno disrupt other players game experience then do you really expect people to be happy with you?

This is the one!

But they’re still a very small percentage of players and they fall far short of bots who can literally play 24/7.

I swear it the botters that are making these threads, they want get out of the spotlight and eliminate the competition.

You’ll notice that Op will stop posting for a while and make a new thread, rinse and repeat.

personally Im still waiting for it to happen.
The boxers Ive run into have been pretty polite or of no consequence whatsoever.
Not saying youre exaggerating, but…
