Multiboxing = Cheating

Oldest I can find is from the end of the first year of BC :frowning:

I’ll keep searching though :slight_smile:

Same but I also don’t gather and because of corruption I don’t do WQs much either so you’d have to be out in random old zones to see me lol.

Yeah, I always ended up stopping after I got the cloak and stopped bothering to do the part of the questline where you unlock the ability to remove corruption. I got lazy and since it was being removed soon, I dealt with it.

Work 60+ hours here. Always have more than enough time to play the game.

I was wondering which part of content you did that required the use of multiboxxing. If you simply do it to do it out of fascination the discussion can end here. But if you do it to do something that a solo player can’t do in the same fashion without getting a group of different players together i was going to ask how it feels to pay2win

I found one from one month after BC launched. Blizz had a much more clear statement in regards to automation then

Badkarma, we do not stop players from owning and playing multiple accounts. What you want to avoid when playing both accounts is using any third party programs to automate game play in an effort to have the characters on the account playing the World of Warcraft withour your presence.

Oh of course. When I was working full time, I had time to play plenty and enjoy it. I just didn’t want to put that much time and effort into the play time that I did allot myself.

Keep in mind, I’m not going to be a permanent multi-boxer. I’ll be stopping whenever it no longer interests me. It’s been fun, but I don’t know if it’s something I’m going to maintain indefinitely.

Wait, multi-boxing is responsible for the state of the game?

(falls over into fits of uncontrollable laughter rolling around on the floor and oh wow, I really need to get the maid to vacuum under the desk more thoroughly because I see a cookie from the Nixon administration under there)

Thank you. I’m so glad to know that the people who multi-box are responsible for the poor storytelling, in game bugs, sharding issues and everything else. They are even probably responsible for Demon Hunters.

The only multiboxers I come across are flagged camping portal rooms and quest givers.

If that is you? Very poor show you are putting on. The question I would ask that player- are you doing it to feel like you are good at pvp- or are you doing it because your day is not complete unless you gain joy from making everyone around you miserable.

They don’t really bother me for the most part. They are generally doing their thing while I’m doing mine.

Now I have run into odd behavior and have to scratch my head wondering why they are doing certain things. For instance I was questing in Felwood and they were spread out killing demons as fast as they spawned. I liked to never have gotten my quest done even on my hunter that has great range. /shrug

And? What, specifically, about the state of the game can be attributed to multiboxers?

They may have been farming Felcloth. Other than that I have no idea.

Funny story:
Token is more expensive than normal gametime, so they actually profit from this as SOMEONE has to buy that token that they use for their gametime.

So your logic there is false.

Highly possible. I know as soon as it was visible they were dead (target macro obviously). I thought I would have to switch to warmode just to get my quest done. :frowning:

Funnier story, as you seemed to have clearly missed both the discussion and the point…

People will still buy them anyways and Blizzard will still profit.

so you now just look silly for not reading the thread yet tagging me for it without seeing we’ve covered this days ago.

Have a great day.

For the love of Yogg this one is still going?? Too early for popcorn so…

I bet they are the ones who also had the pre event nerfed. Caused the flight debacle during WOD. Removes RPG elements in favor of artificial time gates and turned the game from a MMORPG to the “what am I wearing as I wait in a que” game that it is today.

I have a friend that uses ISBoxer for Nazjatar farming on Frostmourne, he got his account locked with the ticket response of “zone disruption”, with enough flag (apparently other “rival” multiboxer could report him as well) they can make your account actionable.

I just checked their forum, seems like some of them do get actioned.

They never tell you what you did to warrant action…

You are free to not believe me and continue boxing, i would even suggest you to continue to do so, i’m just sharing that some people do get actioned.

I’m just sharing the trend that some boxer do get mass flagged either by passing player or other boxer, and get their account actioned for it.
