Only part I agree with you on. Let’s say you farm for an hour to get 20k gold in herbs. This is acceptable to you…
A 3 man boxer comes along and for his same hour, he has 3x the materials as you. Even if he cuts the price 50%, due to his flooding, he’s still going to make 30k gold/hr. You get shafted.
Also lol at Rahk, 6000 posts and 5800 of them are defending multiboxing, ignored me yesterday for proving him wrong like 10 posts in a row with his own quotes.
if you don’t see the difference, there really isn’t any point in having any worthwhile discussion.
wrong.
the gold from tokens is still coming from a player. it’s not being created out of thin air. and as far as the old raids… I already spoke to this. It requires invested time. You have to put in effort to make the gold. That’s how the price get determined in this game. You put in X amount of Time/Labor and you get X amount of gold out of it.
you are wrong. because there aren’t an infinite number of people farming with an infinite amount of time. There is some bottle neck in all of that… and that’s what sets the value of the herbs and ore in the first place.
Oh boy.
Hoarding gold is bad because it is still a finite resource in the game as the value of the gold relates to the amount of total time/labor players are willing to invest. When a player… like a boxxer hoards gold, that means gold isn’t going back into the economy and this creates a larger disparity between the top earners and bottom earners.
Despite the fact we have less avenues for making gold now, the prices for some things has continued to increase. A big reason for this is because more and more players are relying on token sales to make the gold they need to enjoy the game. To blizzard, this is an absolute win, but to the people trying to make gold the… um… old fashioned way, those means don’t exist in the same way.
The economy we have now is instead being built off tokens, rather then the gold being produced by solo players… because one of the big contributors to token sales are… boxxers!
So if you hoard gold, especially if you have a lot of gold coming in already, it just creates a larger disparity between the rich and the poor in this game. This leaves more of the ‘poor’ players buying tokens.
dude, the boxxers and the solo players are in competition over the value of farmed goods. thats HOW the boxxers are able to sell things at a profit while dramatically undercutting the solo players.
we saw immediate changes to the prices of goods once this was introduced.
Thats really all this is about in here.
They troll (sealioning, apparently) TRYING to get you to say or do something they can flag.
Its the only cheap ‘win’ they can get since bliz has told them plainly that boxing DOESNT violate the rules.
Activision-Blizzard pulls in billions of dollars a year. I’d be surprised if multiboxing came close to being 1% of that. They really could ban the practice tomorrow and it would have zero impact on their stock.
No. Boxing at all should be banned. The people causing the problems are not using hardware in the way you are describing to box. Your argument is disingenuous at best.
They could buy why would they? There is money on the table. As a business would you seriously walk away when a comparative minority of your consumers are complaining, but yet still subbing? I sure wouldn’t. That’s just bad business.
What was it, three, maybe four weeks ago that they banned 70,000+ accounts for actual botting? Those banned accounts represented over $1,000,000 per month in subscription revenue.
Tell us again how Blizzard tolerates cheaters ‘because $$$’.
