Lots of people say they report every multiboxer they see as botters, even though they are not. The result of these clearly false reports will be to redirect resources away from investigating and actioning botters toward multiboxers who are not breaking the rules and will be found innocent.
Who benefits? Botters. I just assume that everyone who falsely reports multiboxers is a botter trying to sleaze out of being caught.
They call it the automobile because it moves itself instead of requiring an external source, like horses. And multiboxing does not involve any of the characters moving themselves, so it’s still not automation.
The game doesn’t care what they’re doing. They could be in a far corner sniffing flowers, but they’re still in the zone so they still count for balancing.
I’m not distorting anything. You’re the one who distorted the definition of automation to mean whatever you want it to mean.
And now you’re just being condescending when you can’t come up with a counterargument.
But they’re not “automated drones”. That’s just you deliberately misinterpreting how multiboxing works so you can say they should be banned.
Well, they wouldn’t say you couldn’t play your other accounts, just that you couldn’t play them at the same time. I mean, let’s be fair about that point. Blizzard would never demand you cancel all your accounts, they’d just tell you that they can only be played individually.
And the other fact is, it would be very difficult to police. ESO has a “no multiboxing” policy, and it still happens. It’s not something that can be waved away with a rule - just driven underground.
Because the car moves itself? That does not happen. It requires a few basic inputs such as putting in the key, gas, electricity, take it off park and into drive, put your foot onto the gas or break, etc. in order to get all the gears working and moving in one direction. Multiboxing is like that but much easier. Only one command to ordee 40 clients to do something. Multiplying the effective action of 1 click into 40 actions.
They are automation drones. Your actions would be impossible without a program that duplicates your keystrokes across multiple clients within 1-5 ms latency. Those extra characters do not think or act unless you give the command but you only need to give one command to control a whole platoon. I am sure when we have robot armies which ever nation is able to duplicate actions via automation the easiest will have the advantage against others that cannot and it will be considered automation. Blizzards definition only makes sense from a business perspective.
In fact that is what the automatic rifle name comes from. Because it automatically keeps firing bullets without requiring additional inputs from the user aside from the cartridge reload. Gone were the days of reloading one bullet at a time.
Wow players are fighting with a knife while multiboxers have a full auto.
Yeah, I’m done here if you’re not going to even bother reading a whole sentence. Really shows how dishonest and hateful you are towards others who disagree with you.
They even have experimental roadways where a specially constructed guardrail sends out signals to keep the car on its path to its preprogrammed destination.
No hate here and you trying to hide behind a false label doesnt help you. Kindof sounds like you are projecting your hate on me but there is no need. All love over here. Hope you have a good night or morning wherever you are.
Basing my opinion on what is fact in the real world. If I click one button and my machine picks up 40 objects I am not picking up 40 objects by myself. I would be boasting to argue that. I am using a machine that acts as 40 people that lift one different object all at the same time within 1-5 ms of each other. That would be considered using machines and automation for the process even though all I did was click one button. Thats how the manufacturing world sees it also on their factories.
You’re the one taking sentence fragments and ignoring the rest so you can have your “gotcha” comment. That is dishonest and shows you have no respect at all for people who disagree with you.
You did not. You completely ignored the second part of my first sentence. You deliberately ignored the " instead of requiring an external source, like horses." part because you wanted to make a snarky response and insult my intelligence instead of coming up with a real counterargument.
I don’t think it’s so bad. Kills I get on the farming bots count toward my weekly so it’s fair they get to try and do the same to me.
Imagine how juicy those 12 would be to two groups of opposing players looking to CTA. Easy 1/2 of the kills if not more. Would require coordination but payoff would be nice.
That is wrong and misleading. My full response (which you have yet to fully repost) was

The part you’re not understanding is the difference between a machine that picks up 40 objects without someone controlling it and a machine that can pick up 40 objects but needs someone at the controls to do it.
