Multiboxing griefing

Except you don’t set the definition of automation, Blizzard does. And what you are describing is so broad of an interpretation it literally applies to every single user of the game.

You’re also not playing WoW or even using a computer in this example, so it’s irrelevant.

But I should point out that it actually is one action per click. And that this “app” in your example is also just a glorified light switch. You’re arguing that light switches are cheating because you’re not sending the electricity to the bulb itself with a hand crank.

it also seems that anyone who doesn’t agree with you, falls into this category.

“anyone who doesn’t agree with my biased opinion must be a multiboxer!” :roll_eyes:

It’s really not

Unless I’ve got that wireless keyboard linked to multiple PCs, each running an instance of WoW.

Learn to beat a multiboxer, they are not hard to beat. But you can not charge in from the front. Have to organize and have players work together to kill them.

Must must come at them from behind, if they turn get behind them. Multiboxers can not turn very well and if you figure out who is the main controlling toon you have them dead in a heart beat.

Obviously, cheating means ‘doing anything I don’t like or want them to do’. Which is, coincidentally, the same definition as griefing.

  1. you could have just as easily run into a raid of 12 people
  2. I’m assuming War Mode happened? I mean, at what point do you take responsibility for flagging yourself?

So, multiboxing two accounts is okay, but X number of accounts is bad? Where exactly do you draw the line?

Just turn warmode off, quite simple really. I just killed you once; cause you were following me around like a lost puppy on my scraping team and then turned toy off. it does make me smile to seeing malding andys over dying to a mbox in opt in wpvp.

You’re going to get “PVP happened” from people who are or advocate bad behavior.

I doubt anything will get done about it. It’s like twinking, bad players will do just about anything to project the illusion of success.

The total number of multiboxed accounts isn’t that large. Vanishingly small, in fact, when compared to the total number of active accounts. Every multibox account could cease to exist right now, and Blizzard wouldn’t even notice. It would have literally no discernible impact on their bottom line.

Let’s hear the next dumb argument.

Is there / was there such thing as honorable fighting? I don’t like to fight unless I have to. I was also taught that when it comes to fighting, you don’t fight to fight fair. You fight to win and end the encounter.

Is that bad behavior? I think it’s subjective at best. I have been taught some basic self defense. Not everyone has that luxury? so should I not use what I know because they might not have that same training?

PvP done by an abusive multibox cheater.

Might be more players bump into that. Multiple evidence is better.

Of course it is actionable. Its hard proof. Not happy already?

I hate cheaters. Multiboxing is cheating. I already said it. Nothing can change my mind.

So if I go to certain countries in Asia where beating up little kids is not illegal, beat the crap out of a bunch and say “MMA happened!”… am I right?

lol no I’m not. Why even try rationalizing that?

Cheating requires that you be breaking the rules. Multiboxing does not break the rules. Therefore multiboxing is not cheating.

Not even facts.

So much yikes.

1 player, 12+ characters against 1 is a fact.

Yeah, sounds crazy, doesn’t it? So does what the OP described.

People doing dumb things and trying to pretend like it’s ok.

OK? And? Where’s the “cheating” occurring?

Comparing a video game to assaulting children is not a good look.
