Multiboxing should not be allowed. With multiboxing, you are literally paying blizzard more money so that you can have more power in game. The more you pay, the more power you can have. This is called pay to win.
This is abused to dominate world PvP and to exploit farming methods no one else could use to make unbeatable amounts of gold.
Multiboxing is optimal for everyone, the only reason that EVERYONE is not multiboxing is because they cannot afford the cost.
IRL wealth/class divisions have no place in WoW, and this is enforced in every other aspect of WoW such as banning people for buying gold. But when the money goes to blizzard, it’s suddenly acceptable?
I say it’s not, and that the classic community needs to start making more noise about this before this cancer manages to ruin world PvP on every server.
no its not. please stop equating stupid stuff with p2w. you are not buying an edge for your character that other people cant achieve/obtain in a reasonable time frame.
p2w would be something like a level boost to max at the start of an expansion or beyond top end raid loot.
there is nothing a multiboxer can accomplish that me sitting in a room with my buddy cant.
Alright I hear you…
I also don’t like being one shot by multiboxers
But it’s not against tos to multibox so your cries are in vain
GL with that, Blizzard has stated multiple times for 15 years that multiboxing isn’t against the ToS as long as they don’t use third party software to automate gameplay.
No, it isn’t P2W and has been allowed since Vanilla.
blizz has already made their stance on multiboxing clear…multiple times.
Not Against TOS
I doubt their opinion will change.
What exploit farming methods are you talking about? because by definition game exploits are bannable offenses.
Also what server are you on? I have not seen a single multiboxer yet on whitemane. although im pretty sure they exist somewhere.
Muliboxing gives you LESS power in game.
A group of individually controlled characters of the same size group will destroy a multiboxer every time.
Multiboxing is impossible without 3-rd party software. Same software which is banable in other blizzard games.
Yet for some wierd reasons (totally not sub money) they’ve decided to put a blind eye on that for wow.
Except since he is multiboxing he can do everything x amount faster… just like a paid boost which by your logic is p2w. So in your own comment you literally disprove your point. (facepalm)
Except that takes a group of people to do, Somalion. Multiboxing is done by one single person.
By paying more money, one single person is able to acquire the power of a group. What’s difficult to understand about this?
And I’m well aware multiboxing isn’t currently against the ToS, stop spamming that. We can make it so it IS against the ToS.
Welcome to Classic.
Please enjoy your stay.
Blizzard can not change Classic.
Also Thank you Blizzard you are doing a great job.
Not a supporter of multiboxing.
Every PvP battle is a win…unless the enemy happened to prepare beforehand/isn’t alone.
Dungeons no longer require groups because you can fill every slot–odd for an online game IMO.
Gold is made x amount of times faster since you are no longer sharing it (even if you choose to divide it among your characters).
The list goes on. But in short, I am not a fan.
No, you can’t change it. Stop crying about it.
They all use third party software but as far as I’ve read, not all of them automate gameplay and that’s the main thing. I still remember one particular individual asking @ the Customer support forums if one app, in particular, was green lighted to multibox without ToS issues and a CM gave him the thumps up.
What compels someone to make a trash post like this? Saying “NO, STOP CRYING” is a worthless post. Just don’t waste your time if you’re going to post this.
When you say “we can change this” – now, that is a worthless post. Multiboxing has been allowed since day ONE. Your being upset about it is not going to change that.
You’re entitled to your opinion Velara, but if you aren’t interested in offering an actual counterargument to anything I said, then there’s no point in you posting here.
In the meantime dozens of thousands people were banned in diablo 2 for a simple software that allowed to run multiple instances of the game.
My counterargument is, it’s not against the TOS and never will be.
re-read what i said. level cap boost AT THE START of an expansion. furthermore, being in a group gives you less xp per mob. doesnt matter if you’re killing twice as fast if you have to kill twice as many to get the same xp.
