Iâve tried to read most of the thread to understand - I kinda need someone to explain what multiboxing is⌠I sort of get the jist of paid carries. And why does it take gold to do it? Is it a player on several characters using a bunch of computers at home?
Running multiple instances of WoW at the same time to control more than one character at the same time.
total characters x normal gold for one character. no more or less.
could be yes, but most computers can handle more than one instance of WoW , I have 4 screens so could easily run 4 with no issues.
O my goodness!! How??? (Edit - got it) And thatâs so totally⌠up!
I still multibox 8 accounts, the ban of the software made much harder to do it, however you can still do it, gathering herbs and minerals is mostly the same, it only takes a few seconds more to collect, however i can say that botting is the real issue, multiboxer were the scape goat, shadowlands is taken by bots farming 24/7.

wrong.
They were both bad. Now one of them is less bad.

Multiboxing was still a problem, just not as a big a problem as botting in general.
Iâll agree with that.

There you focus on one that doesnât seem to apply (though nothing says that they started thinking about this or had the data to operate on this 17 years ago), but say nothing of the other two.
Youâre saying that âif bad guys donât follow rules then donât make lawsâ is a silly (false) argument (which I agree with you on). You then go on to equate this with âbad guys donât follow the rules so you shouldnât secure your propertyâ, which I disagree is equivalent.
Whether your original statement is true or not is immaterial, and your comparison is not â100% fineâ. You used an analogy of locks to laws. The comparison is not the same as laws to laws. There certainly are other reasons to lock your items, including obstructing, dissuading, or delaying a thief.
You might think this is unimportant, but it leads people to think these kinds of comparisons are logically sound. The statement is misleading, and using sarcasm to sway public emotion only increases its prevalence. If you have a valid argument, you shouldnât need to try to argue with rhetoric or snark.
That could be a decent counter for that portion, yes, though I still would probably pick that over jail time. Itâs still (possible) legal ramifications, of a different sort, and it could have a greater impact than what I first stated.
Anyways, this has become verbose and fairly digressive, so Iâll leave it at that. Iâm not knocking the content of your points, just that the framework in which they were presented was problematic.
I havenât seen any.
Youâre right. Thatâs another problem we need to solve. Letâs get rid of âboostingâ services entirely, in addition to multi-boxing, as both are inherently against the spirit of the game.

Eh⌠itâs a little more than just petty envy. I think itâs perfectly legitimate to want to place strong limits on how much funding an individual has access to influences gameplay. I say this as someone who could afford tokens for carries or a considerable multiboxing setup if I ever chose to do that.
Of course cosmetics are another matter â anybody who goes out their way to spite those whoâve bought shop transmog/pets are sad losers â but once you start touching non-fluff parts of the game things get more shaky.
Personally, even tokens for carries doesnât sit quite right with me. No problems with carries paid for using gold earned in game, just keep real life cash out of the equation.

This shows you know nothing about MBing. My husband still makes millions of gold doing it. Banning ISBoxer just slowed him down about⌠30% weâre guessing. Probably less.

Blizzard thinned out the herd of legitimate multiboxers. Everyone knew that would be the result. Have to assume the folks at Blizzard knew it too. So mission accomplished?
The only thing it thinned out is those that wanted to one shot people in pvp. MB and herbing is still extremely easy.

The same thing can be said of your opinion:
I didnât get the survey. Neither did anybody else. Making up statistics and inventing facts doesnât help your argument. Quite the opposite, in fact.
