Multiboxing and Herbalism

Which is exactly why I made this post. Thanks.
P2W is garbage.
It’s time for a change!

Still haven’t seen one good reason to leave this P2W loop hole in.

For people that make multiple hundreds of thousands of gold a week running high level mythic content, and who have an organisation behind them? No.

For the other 99.95% of players who play wow?

Yes.

I’m not.

If multi-boxing gave a significant advantage you would see that advantage play out in game.

You do not.

Dunno man. The known RMTers don’t multibox so its fine? Why would they bother multi-boxing when they just buy the gold straight from the boxers themselves? Seems like a really bad argument to me.

Why would they bother buying gold when multiboxing is free? If multi-boxing gives you a substantial advantage?

I always imagine antiboxers to be people like Martin Shkreli.

Wrong.
Have you ever tried to herb legitimately? Obviously not. The scrub multi-boxers ruin it for al the legit herbers.

Multiboxing isn’t free. Why would method had a real money budget to spend on gold why would they Multibox? You arent making any sense.

Well, I didn’t use the example of Method, but you’re right - why multibox when you’re just going to buy gold. I was speaking purely from a macro sense; if you’re in a high performance, high return guild your means of income becomes very different.

It’s like saying “why does the homeless guy on the street care about 5 cents when the millionaire whose steps he’s sleeping on lights cigars with $50 notes?”

This argument is wrong and non-sequiter for a number of reasons. Primarily:

  1. People who multibox don’t necessarily do so primarily for resource gains; that is just a side effect.

  2. While the overall effect on economy and other people who don’t do it is large, the cost to do it is still in real-world money, and the return on investment is not necessarily high. That is to say that while having multiple accounts farming resources is high return in absolute terms, very few people will see it as being worth spending an extra $15-20 real-world dollars on. The first account gets you all the gameplay WoW has to offer; the second only increases gains from resources unless you have a personal investment in multiboxing.

The ingame economical impact of multiboxing is a secondary effect of multiboxing, not necessarily its primary purpose, but that does not mean that its impact on other players who don’t multibox is any less impactful.

Right it is weird…Just loot your herbs and sell them.

Ban multiboxing

Delete demon hunters

Make this game great again.

So far 0 legitimate reasons for Multi-boxing. Just a bunch of deflections and straw men in here. These Multi-boxers will do anything to keep their cheating in the game I guess.

I’m a herb/alchemist on all my toons.
I don’t hate multi-boxers. I’d rather have one multi-boxer to compete with than 3-4 individual characters

When I had to farm zin’anthid, multiboxers did disrupt my gameplay, I had to get my elbows dirty.

Got some friends together and we started netting his alts down. Try and pay your way around that. Clearly he got the message, he left.

If you have a problem with opposite faction multiboxers, just keep killing their alts. You waste their time and its enough to make them leave.

Blizzard messed up when they didn’t create new patterns in 8.3. Sending everyone to Nazjatar for the best flasks. Back in the days if a spot was too crowded with farmers you could just go somewhere else and get your own nodes.

The funny thing: is people argue all the time that multi-boxing crashes the economy… without providing any proof.

Smart multi-boxers will not flood / undercut the market.

Moreover… there are benefits to cheaper prices so it’s not simply a loose-loose.
