False.
There are already special servers. Special servers for those who want world pvp. Special servers for those who mostly want pve and don’t want to be bothered by world pvp. Special servers for those who want to rp. There are people asking for a hard core server or other types. If blizzard was smart they would attempt to make some servers to appeal to those people. If it’s not to difficult or expensive to do and there was sufficient interest it would increase subs.
Well no, because it’s a good idea and blizzard usually goes with the bad ideas. But no one expected a 30 per day instance cap so big changes can happen how ever rare.

no, its not
Why would you have a problem with it? I never play on a pvp server but I’m not against there being pvp servers. If there was a hardcore server I wouldn’t play there. But I think it would be a good idea for blizzard to do it. It would attract a significant number of hard core players and increase subs. If there’s enough interest in a different style server and it’s not too difficult to do, Why not do it?

As I told other people, you would have access to all servers as long as you comply with the server type rule-set, you won’t be negated access just because you also play on other server rule-set, just like PvE servers won’t block you from playing just because also play on a PvP server.

Why waste the time creating servers over such a minor things? Blizzard has taken a stance and deemed it acceptable. Why would they then turn around and dedicate resources to going against something theyre ok with.
For the exact same reason there are PvE, PvP, RP-PvE, RP-PvP, etc. because people like to play on the rule-set that aligns better with their preferences and likes. Maybe there’s enough people interested in the idea of a non-multibox server rule-set, maybe not, but we won’t know if we don’t discuss about it.
How do you know it’s a minor thing? That’s the multiboxer argument. It might not be a minor thing to a large part of the player base. Multiboxers are against it because it they’re afraid it might be so popular that blizzard might create more multiboxer free servers.

Are we really saying things like this when you say things like
How do you know it would attract a significant # of players? ( i actually dont care, just admiring you questioning others with no backing to your own statements)
Blizzard has taken the stance. The vocal minority can hate it all day. But its something they will learn to tolerate or they can just move on
100% this. I’ve been suggesting the same thing for Classic actually. Personally I’d be in favour of banning multiboxing entirely but given the fact that it’s been around forever and Blizzard obviously likes people paying for 5, 10 or 40 accounts, that seems unlikely to happen.
But… why not let the players decide what they like? We already have precedent for different ruleset servers (RP, PvE). You’d still have to deal with multiboxers in BGs (unless…?) but I’d take it in a heartbeat.
My personal view is the multiboxing is bad for the game. The only reason why anyone would be against me having the option of not having in the realm I choose to play on is fear that their “fun” option might be ultimately threatened. And that kind of selfishness is a good example of the bad aspects of multiboxing.

You think multiboxing is minor. I think it’s a big deal. Why would you have a problem with an experiment to see what the players think?
There have always been a significant number of players in every game who want to play hard core mode. Why would you have a problem if blizzard made one?
Given how often blizzard has changed the stance they took I don’t accept any blizzard stance as carved in stone.

Pro tip they’re aren’t very many people who care about multi boxxing in a negative way. And blizzard has already passed on niche server ideas that are a lot more popular.

I actually think its beyond minor. On the laundry list of things i think blizzard could address between reatail and classic thats like 50+ down its so minor to me. Id prefer if they put resources into those things vs something that bothers a small handful
Oh man if you are hanging your hat on that good luck. This is something they’ve been ok with for a very very long time. So good luck i suppose.
What you don’t seem to get is the operent word in your posts is, “to me.”

It’s no where the huge issue some people try to pretend it is.
Well of course its to me. This is a public forum and i can only speak for myself. To pretend i speak for others would be foolish. Are you saying that what you say is something other than your opinion?
Its pretty easy to get a general feeling on these boards. And i dont get the feeling that of all the issues that MB is much of an issue. And since Blizzard is ok with it and its their game, think its safe to say its not going anywhere

You seem to be talking about as if they were removing multiboxing because they made a realm with a ruleset that prohibits multi-boxing but it would be the exact opposite, multiboxing would be allowed in all the realms but this specific one.
Why open an entire realm over such a specific thing? Why not the other 100+ ideas people could come up with?
Why is THIS idea worth the resources vs them?

I don’t think you’re very good at getting that general feeling. It comes up more often than most other topics and usually gets more replies.
