No, it’s not the problem. The problem is that a small fraction of players are constantly complaining about an even smaller fraction of players. There are very few multiboxers out there, we aren’t the problem.

Exactly. Because it’s not a big deal to almost everyone.

You clearly never tried farming for materials. If you would have on a high pop server, then you’d be complaining too.

You’re here defending either them either yourself when you never experienced what this " small fraction of players " have experienced. Just saying that not everybody actually want to say something about it, because of people like you almost saying we are dumb for thinking that it’s annoying. If you’re defending yourself it’s definetly because you don’t want to loose your little " non-hack hacks " to farm more gold, if you’re defending them then you should understand how dumb it is to allow them to just fly around Nazjatar for exemple with 10 accounts, just not even taking the time of casting the mounts as they are druids, gathering for half a second to instantly make a plant dispawn and stop any other players from farming in Nazjatar until they are done.

Lets get mathematical. They get 10x what a normal player would have, lets say 20g / Zinathid, at least 5 per gather at rank 3, 1000g per gather, 1000g per half a second if we don’t count the fly time, lets say the average player might get about 100 Zinathid per run if lucky around Nazjatar, x10, 1000 Zinathid per run around Nazjatar, this player just made himself only 20k in like 5 minutes. So he’s already rich but it just make him richer and stops anyone from actually getting any gold income out of them while he’s there. He can run like that for hours, lets say he stays there for 3 hours, 5 minutes per run around Nazjatar, so 180 ÷ 5 = 36 runs times 20k, this solo dude made 720k in 3 hours. He already paid half his account’s sub in 3 hours. An other 3 hours and everything else he gathers in the month is his. Lets say he farms 3 hours a day for the 29 next days. that means a total of 87 hours put into farming Zin ( Lets say all of it would sell, it’s just theoretical ), we basically just do 720,000g times 29 days. He got 20,880,000g in 30 days. And he will do it again over and over.

Now I know this much Zin ( 1,044,000) wouldn’t sell. But whatever he does is that broken, he can farm Zin, Omnesite, he can farm Pyrites ore from Cataclysm, ores from WOTLK, anything. will. give. him. insane. amount. of. gold. compared. to. any. players. and. stop. players. from. farming. what. he. farms. during. that. time.

I know this also is a way that the Gallywix Community farmed 4 billion gold. And im not even surprised 'cause it is allowed by Blizzard.

Hope it clears your vision.

A solid 1/3 of my time spent playing is farming and has been since I started many years ago.

You’re just throwing assumptions out there. Your opinions and assumptions aren’t facts, not even a little bit.

The rest of your post makes it seem like you are jealous. However, it gave that impression earlier, as well, when you said:

Most of the anti-boxing threads and hate do come down to just that, players upset that others have the means to play the game a different way than they do. Worry about how you have fun in the game and I’ll worry about how I have fun in the game.

:woman_shrugging:

Personally, I find Mboxers abusing the farming nodes disgusting as well.

However, there is a flaw in the logic that Mboxers are gated behind wealth.

It is an investment for them. The very fact every single button they do gives ten times the return, means that it is very easy for them to earn far beyond the upkeep of the accounts.

Is there a difference between ten players and one Mboxer w ten account? of course. If I am farming materials, especially right after a reset, I can probably net at least 5 nodes of each material before they are exhausted by other players. However, ONE Mboxer can exhaust the entire map of materials. On Frostmourne, where I main, there are usually 3-4 Mboxers just flying around like vulture bots, it becomes almost impossible for gatherers who just want to farm enough mats for their own weekly raid use.

Mboxers are forcing other players to buy from them simply because they can exhaust a node in a second, while ten players will take a lot longer, giving others a bigger window. This is why they have haters.

However, since they do BUY 10 accounts in the first place, and that they maintain them monthly as well, Blizzard is seeing them as more lucrative than the few players who are against this. 100 Mboxers = 1000 “active” accounts in the eyes of the shareholders and KPI auditors.

So no matter how many thread and posts you create to complain about them, they are here to stay.

Like I said im not against multiboxing, Im against those who stops other players to actually play, It happened to me and other friends and guildmates several times where we try to go farm something and there’s a multiboxer, now 2 accounts idc, but 10 to gather is just totally annoying, as the plant despawn either after 1 minute of the first gather or after 10 players gathered the same one. It just doesn’t let the place to other players to do what they want. Same goes for the farms. Please go on the Isle of Watchers and if the raw gold farm hasn’t been nerfed there should be 5 druid at the 3 different towers there. just spamming moonfire as soon as a mob spawn and not even answering when you pass and say hi as if they were botting.

If they were multiboxing to gather with 2-5 accounts I do not care, as some players still can gather. But those with 10 accounts are absolutly annoying, same goes for world PvP, world PvP against a random multiboxer just having fun spamming moonfire to your death is hella dumb.

And there you go, that’s the problem, I totally agree with you on your comment BUT Blizzard should not see them as lucrative as they just buy wow sub with Tokens for all their accounts in a day.

I know how gathering works, I know how multiboxing works, you are just blind and can’t understand a word we say when we are mad at multiboxers.

You don’t really know how this works, do you?

No, you really don’t. lol

I’ve got good news for you, you can stop caring. That’s all you can get from a node - 5 taps and you’re out.

It’s 10 node. Not 5

I’m a miner/herbalist on Zul’jin, one of the busiest servers. I have had no issues with multiboxers and gathering.

lol what? Stop spreading false information. You are either intentionally lying or you really don’t know how this works.

Its even on multiboxing forums…

Some of the Mboxers on Frostmourne do fly around with more than ten but they are not meant for solely gathering, they do world pvp as well and camps objectives.

Lmao Yesuna doesn’t know what she’s talking about at all that’s it. She thinks she’s better but she’s not.

Just go hide Yesuna please.

I used to be on Zul’Jin, I know there’s not a lot of Multiboxers on it, as it’s one of the busiest, but im now on Arthas which is not full but high and there’s at very least 1 multiboxer per zone with mats at high value or 1 multiboxer per high value farm spot like the raw gold one from Legion Leatherworking.

For it to be banned. 1 person 1 account at a time. You can still buy as many accounts as you want and play on them but only 1 at a time.

~Exactly.~

To be honest it would be easily doable for 1 person to play on multiple account even if it would become bannable. THO ! They could do literally as Diablo 3, when you open the game the open button is black and you can’t press it. If you open by the files you get the first window dcd.

An other easy way would be to change Moonfire and make it required to face your target, which would stop a damn load of multiboxers from using them therefor mostly from multiboxing correctly. They would still be there for Nodes but they could make it so druid can’t gather in travel form, which would slow the process a little.

All of that would mostly affects only multiboxers and a little bit the people who usually farm with druids, but not much. It would not affect the raiders at all and would take like a week to fully learn it for the people that farm M+ as druids.

There is one multiboxer I learned about in another thread. He plays 2 accounts and duo’s all by himself. He plays both accounts each with 1 hand and says he does pretty well. This kind of multiboxer I have no issue with since he is literally playing both accounts on his own with no help of other programs. Respect to that dude.

You can multibox in Diablo 3.

Blizzard will never ban additional income.

You can stop making these threads.

Yes, multiboxers for RP, and those who does not affect others are welcome.

In fact, the Mboxers who farm the nodes I dont really bother much as well.

The hypocrites who abuse the nodes system yet claim they are “benefitting the economy” are just asking for it. They act like setting up a 3rd party software makes them so special that all non -Mboxers are Jon Snows.
