You’re right, not worth it this entire thread is just bait.
LOL. They probably “lost their minds” because of your twisted logic from crazy town. How is one guy controlling five handicapped toons the same as a five times super toon?
You realize multiboxers have more than one toon to take care of right? Same as if a group was farming stuff and splitting proceeds.

Super toon would still be limited by GCD’s. Let me know how well a super beef warrior matches up against a 5 man mage box.

I thought we were talking about fairness against regulars toons? I’d rather take on five multibox toons by myself than a 5x super elite toon controlled by a person.
he’s lvl 36, you need to be lvl 35 to herb black lotus.
coincidence? lol no
he’s a multiboxer and a ghost camper. shocker
Thats a fair point I wasn’t considering it from the perspective of someone not doing either but putting the two up against each other.

You don’t say!?!
Multiboxing is cheating. I know some people try to paint a different picture or use technicalities, but the fact is it gives a significant advantage over the ordinary player. It goes outside the intended scope of a role playing game, where you’re expected to interact with other players with only one character at a time.
Sure, blizzard allows it, but they have a financial incentive to allow it. This doesn’t make multiboxing not cheating.
- Raiding guilds with an army of multiboxing warlocks have significant advantage on securing world boss kills.
- Multiboxers can farm more efficiently than anyone else in the game, adding more gold to the economy which leads to greater degrees of inflation.
- It trivializes pvp encounters and turns one person into a one man wrecking machine.
Similarly, chemical companies like DuPont, also have a financial incentive to not care whether or not if their chemical harms people when dumping them or creating products. But it’s obvious why it would be wrong to allow them to do whatever they want for financial reasons. Which is something they were able to do for decades. The argument that blizzard allows multiboxing, therefore it isn’t cheating, isn’t persuasive. It misses the point entirely.

Multi-boxing is WoW’s Bhopal?
It’s neither.
Define “cheating.”
Yes, it is.
No, because all you get for the money is another account. You still have to earn everything in-game.
It’s also not automation, it’s transmission.
Yes it is.
Please show us where a multiboxer tries to sell you on no advantage over one player playing one account? It’s a given that multiboxers have an advantage over one player playing one account. Just like a group of players not multiboxed has an advantage over one person playing one account. A live streamer with a huge following that follows him around forms a group has an advantage over one person playing one account that doesn’t group. All multiboxers acknowledge that they have an advantage over one person playing one account when the one person playing doesn’t join a group. That’s exactly the point we always make! Now you’re not understanding (once again) what multiboxers do and what they’re about.
The issue is that people don’t have a problem with a group of real people that go around killing other single players in World PvP. People don’t have a problem with a live streamer with a huge following of raids of players going around killing single players in World PvP. People don’t have a problem with a guild of players going around killing single players in World PvP. It’s only when a multiboxer does it that all hell breaks out on the forums and people spread conspiracy theories, untruths, and falsehoods concerning multiboxers.
All groups in all MMORPGs have an advantage over one person playing one account when the person is by themselves without a group. Of course we’re talking about everything else being equal such as level and gear for the sake of the discussion. The problem people have with multiboxers is they don’t understand that fundamental MMORPG design principal and want to compare the multiboxer to one person playing one account. That’s why multiboxers say that’s an invalid comparison because everyone that joins a group has an unfair advantage over one person playing one account when the one person is alone in the game world.

So does a group and so does a guild or raid of players. It’s the design of how MMORPGs work. Everyone that joins a group, the CEO of Activision, a support person from Blizzard, a developer from Blizzard, your mother, father, sister, brother, anyone that plays an MMORPG. Every one of them when they join a group has an unfair advantage over one person playing one account there is no difference in terms of unfairness when it comes to multiboxing or not. The game design has it set up that way. That’s why we say you’re making an invalid comparison because everyone can join a group and the moment they do they have an unfair advantage over one person playing one account that doesn’t join a group.
Your argument is invalid because you’re comparing a multiboxer to one person playing one account and attempting to make a point saying that it’s a significant advantage over the ordinary player. Well sorry to break it to you but that’s the way the MMORPG was designed. Those that join groups have a distinct advantage over one person playing one account that doesn’t group. It’s been that way from the first MMORPG and will always be that way because of what MMORPGs were designed to do.
I’m pretty sure you mean “You are only permitted to log in one character per account” not “1 account is not allowed to log into 1 character at a time.” if your wording were true no one could log in period and that would most definitely put a stop to multi-boxing 
But multiple accounts can be consolidated under a single BattleNet account, that is just for convenience and is great, I’ve had four accounts ever since about a month after release and being able to consolidate them makes it more convenient.
P.S. And yes, I’ve occassionaly multi-boxed 3 and once 5 characters. It is an alternate play style that I sometimes find enjoyable. Now I don’t multi-box PvP since I don’t find that enjoyable (it gives me a headache).
