I’ve been plying for years and I love the game. Brilliant concept. As with any product, there’s ups and downs, and WOW is no different. I try not to cry about class inequity or economy formats, but lately I’ve seen a trend in multi boxing herb gathering. That absolutely crushes the availability of resources for those that have one account. I’m aware of Blizz’s policy on multi-boxing. It’s fine according to Blizz. However, I think they’re looking at the issue from the PVP lens, and not the resource vacuum cleaner angle.
Any thoughts on that?

it was a direct result of blizzard making nodes multi-tap
they basically turned herbing into a multiboxer’s money making machine.
They could make nodes go back to the way they used to be - single target, but I think that would anger far more people.

Most players don’t seem to like multiboxers, but Blizzard isn’t going to do anything about it. These posts don’t really help, sadly. The case against multiboxing has been outlined countless times from numerous angles, but Blizzard, simply put, doesn’t care. More threads won’t change that, sadly.

Blizzard argument is going to be the same as it has been for the past 15 years.
“This would have happened still if there were X amount of individual players.”
If you die to a five man multiboxer, they just say “Well five players would have yielded the same result.”

What a new and unique topic that has never been discussed before on these forums.

This is the way. Less mats per node, more nodes and single tap only.

Almost nobody actually says this because a multiboxer with 5 people is significantly less powerful than 5 full people. My offtank and I have killed a 10 boxer with ease. They may have damage output, but as soon as you kill the head they are virtually stunned for 5 seconds, and, they’re all on the exact same location for you to just nuke with aoe. 2 focusing irises and they’re done.
That’s the line blizzard used years ago when you reported a multiboxer.
But you’ll die!

Those three really do seem to have a passionate hatred about any thread that speaks badly about multiboxing, lol.

This is a Cross Realm Zone problem, not a MB problem.

It’s less that they don’t care and more so that there is no good solution that doesn’t hurt more people. Let’s say 5% of the population multiboxer and you change the game back to single tap nodes. You have successfully nullified the point of multiboxing herbs for 5% of the population but now NO ONE can share nodes. Herbing becomes much harder to just find nodes then. Not worth imo.
Now if you wanna just ban people who multi box like people who bot. Good luck winning that argument. I don’t think it’s worth a ban and I think you’ll find a hard time convincing Blizz.
Yeah they could do this. But then even finding nodes would be incredibly annoying. If two people farm the most efficient route and go in opposing directions. Almost no one else could farm in that zone.
Hold on don’t count the newbies out. I’m ready to argue this tonight!

You can do that now though, except you’d not be able to milk the nodes with each of your multiboxed toons as they’d be single hit.
It’s that way now also, the suggestion would make it less lucrative for the players rolling through with an army of toons. Which is the topic of this thread sir.
