Multiboxers are good for the economy as a whole. Not for folks looking to make gold in the herb market sure, but for customers.
Muliboxers have killed the herb market, but by doing so, they’ve dropped the prices of potions for raiders.
If you’re looking to make gold in the herb market. Well, either accept the bad gold per hour or find a different avenue to make gold.
I play on a full population server. Flying around and having new nodes tapped out before you even reach happens way less than having mboxers swarming around.
Sounds like they are having fun, what server?
Does you actually think this is true lol? Yes, one guy instantly burning all the charges from one node with one click is exactly the same and a few others legitimately herbing individually at different times. Your logic is flawless here.
Sometimes things are allowed not because they are ok, but rather because banning them would be difficult or impossible to enforce.
It is possible that Blizzard thinks it’s fine to have multiple accounts and even have them open at the same time (like if you were playing one while another was sitting at the AH), but they think it’s not fine to have a single key press control multiple open accounts simultaneously (like seven other druids flying behind you picking the same herb node). I’m not an expert by any means, but maybe analyzing logs to differentiate the former from the latter is too time consuming to actively try and stop it, as opposed to spotting bots.
Except he has, you haven’t made a good argument as to why they should continue to be allowed.
Nope not yet.
No one needs a “reason” as to why they should be allowed.
“Blizzard says so” is the only reason that matters. It’s their game.
Again you’ve never played on a high opposition server then.
I can’t tell you how many times herbs have disappeared because too many people farmed it before I tagged it.
Sorry, but I got tired of reasoning with antiboxers in the other 30+ duplicate threads. Go hunt for my replies there, or wait for me to get more fed up and repost / add to the reasons why it’s fine.
Blizzard have never explained why they allowed power levelling services and carries, despite them being in direct violation of their ToS.
I would not get caught up with explanations, tbh.
I have an inkling that some blizzard employees multibox and kind of insure the practice stays “legit”. It’s lame but I really can’t see a good argument to allow it otherwise.
Yep thus the reason for this post. Did you even read it?
Which is, quite literally, the point.
If a multiboxer with 8 accounts “makes it to a point in time”, they have increased that node’s value by 8 times what you would have done had you made it in time.
I wonder how people are herbing in classic… Must be insane to have them soloboxers tap out all the nodes!!
Nah bro, there isn’t a good reason to allow it. That’s why you can’t come up with anything I think.
Yeah its a bs argument.
With d2 they did not want people running multipul instances of the game at the same time from the same system.
yet people got around it right away.
Its been referenced many times years ago that since WoW was a ‘Evercrack’ clone and in Everquest people used multipul instances of the game at once.
It would be fine, even natural to allow it.
twenty years on, its still fine.
Multiboxing is cheating; plain and simple.
Hopefully Blizzard will finally disable it.
Why, not at all! I’ve been on Classic, herbing lots! Haven’t run across a MBer that was herbing too. Not like it doesn’t happen, but it hasn’t happened to me yet.
