Multiboxing, I hate it

Totally true. 2 accounts is not a big deal

Let me make things right, I forgot that yeah the button turns gray but if you connect on an other account yeah you can play in D3 with 2+ accounts. It is League of Legends that doesn’t let you connect on multiple client. As soon as you open one you can’t open a second one, and World of Warcraft should be like that too.

Also, it is NOT additionnal income. Like I literally said just after your previous comment, multiboxers first always farm for their months subs and never have to pay real money for it. And if the guy is multiboxing he had enought gold for it, as nobody wants to buy $800 of actual games to multibox.

yea thats not gonna happen. buzz off

we are already handicapped as is in BGs without a true follow[total tauren$hit if you ask me that is not available in Classic as it was in Vanilla)

what part do you not understand that they were in WoW since launch

large part of the game was/is multiboxing

here is a thread from EARLY 2005
h ttps://www.graffes.com/forums/showthread.php?31829-Multiboxing

Ok dude… It’s so sad to see that…

Like don’t you think there’s a problem in doing BGs with 10 accounts just one shotting people with an instant cast ? Didn’t you ever though about that ? How is it fun for the players ? And how is it an handicap to stop that lmfao ??

How can you feel proud of yourself for 1 vs 10 every single player in a BG ? Does it feels good for your own Ego or something ? lmao.

And no it’s not a

Everything is soloable or groupable. If you have to stop players from farming mats in a zone just for your own profit then you’re a ****. That’s all there is to it.

No, there is not a problem. And I am going to continue to graveyard camp you.10v10 since its not wpvp–bgs have an equal amount of players

Its no different that a 10-person premade. Are you also going to QQ about premades now?

I do not care about premades, as if they are strategically 1 v 10ing everyone then gg to them. But one single player who presses 1 button to cast with 10 accounts and one shot a player that is a problem. If you can’t see that you can move along you’re totally useless to this thread.

It is additional income for Blizzard.

  1. They exhaust more gold than they produce. Why do you think gold sinks exists?

  2. Active subs , regardless of gold/USD payment, are KPIs and potential customers of in game purchases.

  3. They add value to company share.

  4. Not all Mboxers are farmers, and not all Mboxing farmers are successful. They cannibalize each other as well. Some of them do have to pay USD.

Yeah it is true. I believe the ingame purchases is not really true as most multiboxers uses 8 accounts on their own Blizzard accounts so all is shared and if they buy a mount on an account they get it on all accounts. But what is KPIs precisely ?

Ok, lets assume none of the Mboxers will ever buy anything ingame.

They rack up the number of active subs is a fact.

Most of blizzard staff are actually executives, and they have to submit the same figures to their board. Do you think the suits care if some of the active subs are Mboxers? It is a numbers game to them. The more Mboxers there are, the better the blizzard executives look to their bosses.

The entire blizzard company’s valuation is based on their revenue streams.

KPI = Key performance Indicator.

One of the biggest KPI of every single game company is how many players are actively playing it. The higher this number is, the company share price grows. This increases the wealth of the game owners.

Hence, regardless if the Mboxers actually contribute a single dollar, by creating the ten accounts and maintaining it for years already help the same blizzard executives who you hope will ban the Mboxers in the first place.

The owner of this game is listed as ATVI - Activision Blizzard Inc, at $80.39 right now.

Three months later.

I mean they did ban like 120,000 accounts in a month so for money side I think they might not care much

That is an entirely different story.

Gold sellers infringe on their revenue.

2 types of bots are harmful to them :slight_smile:

  1. Raw gold farmers. They need to balance the ingame gold or the account tokens will be worthless very quickly. Hence, we have gold cap, as well as gold sinks.

Any number that grows too big becomes meaningless. Player base will lose interest very quickly. For example if you had 500 million gold, would another 2 hundred thousand make you spend an hour for them? This is why they do level squish, ilvl squish etc.

A raw gold farmer will keep killing mobs and churning out the raw gold, producing more gold in the system and reducing its value.

  1. Power levellers. This directly infringes on their level boost service, and also players who can get end game too quickly outpaces their content and force them to keep releasing things in advance to maintain player base.

2 cents.

This thread was completely derailed for an innocent topic and here you come bearing torches and pitchforks and full of anger.

Multiboxxers always perpetually offended and angry

Getting a lot of gold that you then need to keep earning in order to keep multiboxing sounds more like a job to me than a game.

Why would you care what some person is doing when they’re essentially soloing instanced content?

And if you have a 10 man multiboxer, that means the enemy team is weaker somewhere else. So let them have whatever they’re guarding and take everything else.

That’s not how herbalism works. The max you could possibly get is 60, and that’s assuming every one of your herbalists got lucky enough to get 6 Zin’anthid from the node.

Also? Zin’anthid on your realm goes for about 6g per. 60 x 6 = 360 gold.

You turned on war mode expecting a fair fight. That’s on you.

I know what you’re about to say Rankin.

Save it.

Don’t confuse multiboxing for botters. If you see a bunch of moonkin standing around slaughtering everything in sight, that’s probably a botter and you should report them.

So that’s what this boils down to, you want to eliminate any competition.

A fair warning, these multiboxxing cheaters and griefers will swarm you like locusts just as they do on unsuspecting players in warmode and unsuspecting nodes.

They are like an anathema to the game that Blizzard allows because of literally one thing.

They give Blizzard money.

And also be further warned, bashing them too much results in a vacation from the forums.

Zin’anthid goes for 6g on your realm. Also? Zin’anthid even at rank 3 is 3-6 per node.

Some hyperbolic math that’s barely connected to reality won’t clear up anything.

Multiboxers that knows how to farm gold efficiently can easily farm their sub in a day. So then the 29 others days are free to farm.

How is it on me ? I don’t necessarily expect a fair 1v1 everytime but I do not expect to get ganked by 1 single player with 10 different accounts.

Because it’s dumb that it works like that. It shouldn’t be allowed. If someone could solo a current content raid by himself it would be nerfed. So if someone can solo a current content raid by himself and his 9 other accounts, it should also be nerfed.

I already do, either if it’s a botter or a multiboxer I report them.

How would I want to eliminate competition ? It’s not even competition it’s something I can’t do anything about ! If there was 10 differents players I wouldn’t mind and would just comeback later, but 1 players with 10 different accounts is what is upsetting.

Dude are you blind ? Did you even read anything I wrote ? It’s just an exemple, I don’t care of the price of the Zins on any servers It’s just to show how dumb it is.

Frostera has said it but I wanna add that every thread here on GD that talks about legitimate griefing from multiboxers always has the same few people posting the same few arguments in recurrence.

  1. Go do something else/play on a different server.
  2. Become a multiboxer yourself : “it ain’t that hard”.
  3. “Multiboxing is not botting” even though the two are inclusive.
  4. You suck/you’re crying about competition.
  5. Blizzard allows it.

If you look closely, you will notice that these people care only about themselves and are thus, quite literally, the parasites in the game. If you see them posting in a thread about multiboxing, it’s better to throw them off your scent with a thank you since they also like to believe that they’re healthy for the game.

I don’t have any problems with multiboxers who don’t engage in griefing, but because of the actions and responses of the few who saturate these threads with their selfish arguments, I’m more inclined to instantly dislike any boxer I come across. The pattern of toxic behaviour seems to be quite common among them.
