Pretty much nailed it only missing if there is more than 1 or 2 doing it then they tank or inflate prices at will.

I disagree, Blizzard ruined professions and theyâre probably the worse way to make gold other than maybe at the end of the expansion when boes and other items donât sell, consumables will always be desirable even at the end of an expansion.
I was mostly referring to gathering professions which is where most people complain about multiboxers btw if it wasnât obvious enough.
There may be some multiboxers on the server youâre having issues with but even if they werenât there the general populous will undercut each other into the dirt either way even without the excess bulk amount a multiboxer may have saved up.
Like I was saying Blizzard is the problem, not multiboxers when it comes to gold making.
Looking at anchor weed is a great example, or Zinâanthid. AW was very cheap at the beginning until people realized it was rarer than expected, price went up for raid and kept going up, patch came out and everyone was waiting to see if theyâd buff itâs spawn or drop rate, they didnât price went even higher.
More common herbs/ores or what ever are still being farmed by the masses, gathering professions are very common while leveling up at least for those that donât know any better and arenât intent on getting lvl capped as fast as possible, the market is then flooded with all of these materials especially at the start.
If anything I think multiboxers do the community a service by reducing the price of materials/flasks/consumables in general, same thing can be said of any bi-product of farming like boe mounts or just boes. Most if not all the people doing the complaining are benefiting from them while complaining about them, If you struggle getting a wow token for wow time then you probably couldnât afford one of those boe mounts if there werenât multiboxers around creating such a supply of them. Youâll see in Shadowlands with the people that have been buying up the boe mounts from BFA to stockpile and overcharge you in SL due to lack of farming.
Has anyone actually tried to contact a multi-boxer and tried to work something out with them?
Like doing a business proposition with them? If they are able to farm the heck out of stuff, maybe make it worth their time. Never know without asking right?
Especially if they are just going to AH their wares. Might not be able to get the mats yourself, but if they are already farming and going to AH the stuff off. Could become a win / win situation for everyone.
I know plenty of goblins that do exactly that, unless you have the capital in the first place and want to deal in bulk I doubt theyâd care about a little fish.
They dont care example theres a druid pack on my realm right now in nazj. They are at least 10+ bots following.
All druids getting herbs and ore nodes each on their own server none are the same giving this boxer the ability to crz almost a dozen realms.
Thats the kinda crap that ticks people off besides the fact they can pretty much spam out a azertite talent and one shot you thanks to that stupid uldum freebee.

As far as the farming Iâm ok with it since itâs pennies in the couch cushions and it does make things cheaper for those that are broke as far as Iâm concerned.
But for the pvp aspect they did bring out warmode, you can go into your talents and click it off in a rested area if you didnât know about it.
Its the new flavor of the week. Theyâll move on to trolling about another topic most players donât actually have strong feelings about in another week or so. Maybe theyâll hit on the âclearâ bias Blizzard has towards the Horde which is displayed in their higher vendor prices for crafted items. Or maybe theyâll switch to the lack of representation towards trans-racial players.
you do unserstand boxers being able to farm the same node was not in the game for a majority of its life? like when those rules were made. right?
people are understandably upset.
So you suggest I turn off probably the only fun thing about BFA because some lump is multiboxing and tanking 10 servers economies. I think not Id rather see them banned unlike you I actually care about the game being equal and fun.
People like this can easily spike and crash prices at will especially when they are online 24/7 which this one is for a fact.
I know because everyone on my server has been keeping track of this one for months and reported repeatedly, we have even killed them over and over for the pvp event.
We can even see when the post the mats on AH they crash prices on just about everything from herbs to flasks to enchants.
i can tell youâre new here, poor thing.
I agree but youâre delusional if you think youâre going to get them banned for something thatâs available to everyone that can afford the initial investment. I doubt multiboxing in wow will ever disappear since all it is is multiple accounts being paid by using the ingame wow token system and a scripting software that duplicates key strokes, there are two major differences between bots which I donât condone and multiboxers using similar software.
One requires a single click and is automated after that without any further human interaction required which is bannable.
The other requires human interaction to function period even if itâs on multiple accounts.
Now Iâm sure your argument is why do other games ban it and Blizz doesnât well theyâre making more money, itâs available to everyone, the scripting software doesnât just help multiboxers it also helps those that are disabled. Also multiboxers account for such a small % of the community and they also benefit everyone in the process.
If anything Blizzard has ruined professions for a very long time so if youâre using the same methods multiboxers use to make gold you clearly donât know how to make gold as far as Iâm concerned.

No one bothers with professions anymore because of boxers.
Whats the point unless your just occasionally crafting for yourself, besides the fact the were pointless the entire expansion besides mounts or follower equipment.
I mean 15 tidestones or w/e to make 1 piece which is only from dungeons with absurd rng yea by the time you had enough you have rare better gear from just wq dailies.
I geared 14 toons to 450+ off just dailies and pvp supply crates.
The only professions that would made any money engineering enchant alchemy and guess what ran those into the ground.

No one bothers with professions because of professions, Blizzard ruined professions and theyâve been ruined for a long time.

Apparently theyâre trying to make professions relevant again by incorporating them into legendary crafting. From what I saw in a rather short video, you have tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking, jewelcrafting playing a primary role in the mat-crafting whereas enchanting plays a bit of a secondary role. Legendaries also have 4 ranks with each being more difficult to craft than the last, so Iâve got good hopes from professions going into SL.
I can only hope that it doesnât just stop there. It would be so much fun to have professions be relevant again beyond mount-making and the more obvious but steady potion-making.
The rarity of materials and what theyâre used for, how fast they become obsolete etc. also matter. Anchor weed was a big mistake from Blizzard, I just regret not investing more than 400k into it not knowing if they buffed it in what ever patch it was that they didnât.
Thatâs fair. Herbing has always been a rather sore spot for me 
I likeâd mining in the lich king, but wod through bfa is such a joke to make gold compared to farming mats I wish I started sooner and I didnât have to farm a single thing.
This is untrue - at least for me. I stopped because Blizzard destroyed professions by making them ungodly expensive to level (even with cut rate prices on materials) for very little at the end.

I can understand how incredibly frustrating it must be for you. To have spent 15 years you say, in the CS forum believing youâre rubbing shoulders with the CS reps. Fifteen whole years feeling like youâre somehow equals with them regarding their profession, and then just never quite being important enough for something like MVP. Thatâs rough man, but you donât need to be coming in here and taking it out on me with personal attacks.
I find it hard to believe that you spent 15 years in there pretending that youâre an invaluable member of the CS team and never realized how often Blizzard will give vague replies on certain subject matters on purpose.
Just because you donât agree with mine, and many others experiences in the game doesnât make them invalid.
Eventually they will have touched enough people in the game that weâll get to have a real mega thread on it. I canât wait to see you all there calling it spam and picking your noses.
Edit: You did teach me a valuable lesson though. To make sure I always quote the original post before I respond to it, otherwise theyâll slip in edits as soon as I post that make them look like they knew what I was referring to.
