I always come to these ban multiboxing threads with the expectation that it will resort to adolescent bickering.
I was not disappointed!
Just wish people would get over it. It’s not against the rules so just stop.

Sometimes, I wonder if Blizzard cares about either.
I don’t have a problem with multi-boxers, more power to them. But when the same group of druids are botting in the same place for days on end, it really makes you wonder.

Going to humor this one for a moment, because it made me shake my head and it made me chuckle.
Sure, let’s not allow multi-boxing in SL for one month. Are YOU and those that would support this idea going to help the MBing community make up the lost time?
Have to say it, this idea is just bad.

Can we have a moratorium on people wanting to punish multiboxers?

Can we get a moratorium on anti-multiboxer threads instead?

I guess if i werent very good at the game and needed to scapegoat someone else…boxers would be a good choice since I wouldnt be attacking a very large portion of the player base. But I could at least feel better about myself…i guess
After 12 years of playing, I beg to differ. For some reason, boxing is getting much worse. I’ve been halted 3 times just this week when leveling alts because of boxer’s 2x4’ing in a leveling area. I suppose it has something to do with the Bruto.
Don’t think of me as a regular adolescent gamer whining. I tried it to see what the fuss is about by setting up the software and buying a second account. From this experience, I know that a high degree of automation performed by 3rd party application is needed in order to successfully multi-box. Because of that, there shouldn’t be a debate, any degree of automation beyond add-ons or in-game scripting is against the ToS.
The only good argument I’ve heard is that Blizz gets money from the multiple accounts and therefore allows it. However, that in essence is a pay-to-cheat system if the person uses a 3rd party tool to coordinate the multiple accounts.
Because of these points, multi-boxing should be a bannable offense just like bot-farming currently is.

I see what I think are bots every now and then. I’ll try to disrupt them and report. outside of that, not much else I can do.

easy enough to figure out the motivation on that one…AH gouging for mats. NO boxers = less competition = higher prices.

Yes and no. The powers that be can always make exceptions to their own rules.

I’ve been playing for nearly 16 years and I say it’s fine.
You know wrong then. Multiboxing requires zero automation.
The “good” argument is a lame conspiracy. Activision-Blizzard makes billions a year. They wouldn’t miss out on the piddly amount that multiboxing brings in.
The actual reason it’s allowed is because Blizzard views it as an interesting way to play the game. Nothing more.

I would prefer to break all of the API connections used by 3rd party multi-boxing applications to ensure they aren’t breaking the ToS when performing multi-boxing. I have no pity for folks who take advantage of what I see is a clear pay-to-cheat system supported by the game developer.
Again, remember the lead. The purpose is to ensure MBers don’t disrupt others from levelling.
This is bunk. There is no “automation” going on.
Replication is the word you’re looking for here. Bot farming is absolutely automation. Multiboxing is not automation, at least not how the community that I’ve seen defending it from these notorious threads operates.
Seriously folks. Move on.

Yeah the Druid bot thing makes me shake my head too. I mean what would it take? A few minutes after receiving the report to observe, decide, and ban.

Agrias, full respect for your opinion. I’ve used these applications, and they are external applications designed to allow you to control multiple accounts from an external application. That is automation. If you have an application help you move your account, that’s cheating.
Best argument?
its THEIR game…NOT yours…therefore they do what they want to do with it.
If I had my druthers, pathfinder would be gone and my stolen Water walking would be returned to the mount I did the grind for twice.
But it aint my game…and here we are.
why…exactly?
firstly…WRONG…secondly the game maker allows it…so its not relevant what you think or choose to believe about it.
literally the ONLY thing that does matter here is what they allow and dont allow. your semantics games trying to splain it to us so we’s canz unnerstanz just makes me giggle. Bliz KNOWs how boxing works guy…they literally DONT need you to help them figure it out.

Multiboxing software doesn’t control anything. That’s why it’s not automation.
