Better than feeling like multiboxers who know they’re scrum
do you know what a scrum is?
Scrum. Troll scrum.
I agree, multiboxers are trolls as well, nothing worse than troll scrum.
Well, I know someone doesn’t play rugby.
Anyone else noticed an increase in 5 boxer groups in ebg’s lately? Cause I’ve definitely noticed it and it’s getting annoying.
I suppose it’s an accomplishment of sorts. I never understood why people have to false flag posts just because they might not agree with what people may say.
Is it because they don’t like multi-boxers or could it just be that your post was false flagged and there was nothing wrong in what you wrote? I would say it was probably false flagged and not breaking the rules, but that could just be my personal bias.
I keep rugs on floor where they belong
But they are going after the botter’s without hesitation. If people go with the idea that multi-boxxing and botters are two sides of the same coin. Why are they not all getting banned at the same time though?
I would think that would be a lot easier than trying to guess which one is a bot and which one is multi-boxxing.
It’s really not very hard to tell the difference between a single player and let’s say someone multi-boxing five toons.
Yeah they can. The difference between boxing and botting is this: if you are botting, botting not multibotting, you are paying for and botting a single account. That means you are paying $40 to have access to all of the content, $15 for the subscription, and $40 or $60 for the character boost if you want to skip the leveling process.
That’s nearly or over $100 to just set up one account ready to go for just one account. And with multiboxing, your paying for multiple accounts to be started up and each individual one at cheapest would be $55.
Then theres leveling, where if, if, did you read the if mister 6800 post dialogue diarrhea? IF multiboxing were a bannable offense then any random schmo who is aware of the ToS could report them for the new category added, ‘Multiboxing.’ And eventually the system would slap at least one of those characters accounts with an automated temporary suspension. And mister/miss/attack helicopter multiboxer would trudge on, one account less and continue getting ticked with reports from passersby. And eventually, eventually a blizzard employee would have to investigate.
They did it. They finally made it to level 60. However many hours they spent, they made it to the finish line! And all that’s left to do is-
Banned.
And if they want to do that all over again, they would have to start all over again at $55 per account. No access to any of the gold they may have passively earned via leveling or other means, it would all be gone. Poof. More money into their fire.
Only whales would be able to keep that up for too long, eventually multiboxing would die out.
IF it were a bannable offense.
It’s all about quality, dialogue diarrhea, not quantity. And considering many of your posts are the same tit for tat generically annoying responses to the same three topics.
And here is your legacy:
Reminds me of that one scene from South Park between Butters and his Grandma. I don’t go out of my way to watch that show, but you should check that scene out. You might learn something.
Good night!
riiiiight…and theyve done such a great job of it so far.
Dude…they can vacate them AFTER the fact…the CANT stop them from getting in and doing what they do. They CATCH them AFTER the fact.
Oh hi Dialogue Diarrhea, I see you instantly responded and read the first few words instead of the entire post.
I saw your first joke line and didnt need to bother with your cereal filler.
They CANT stop bots, dude…or there would BE NO BOTS
Just like the federal government CANT stop hackers. They can try, but the determined sort WILL get in. They deal with them AFTER the fact.
By your joke anti virus companies dont need do anymore work…no more viruses will ever be created. They dealt with the existing ones and their work is done
people will CONTINUE to hack computer networks…and make viruses…and perpetually making bot accounts that bliz will REACTIVELY have to deal with.
Simple enough, gent?
I’ll see if I can find the Blue post on the topic, But Blizzard can detect botting quite easily, but the way the system is set up, multiboxing is WAY more difficult to detect because they don’t have a way to differentiate 5 players running from the same IP address (as with some households and college campuses) to one player running 5 accounts.
More like they can, but botters are like a horde army, they just…keep…coming…
It a war of escalation.
right…thats what I meant in the first place.
its like the hackers breaking into my websites a few years back.
My hosting company rep finally broke down and told me…they CANT stop them. They can try…but if theyre determined enough they ARE going to get in.
The last time it happened the rep did some digging and told me it literally looked like an inside job…like someone INSIDE the company had messed with my websites. it took him nearly an hour to figure out that it wasnt one of their own people, lol
I believe bliz does do their best to stop bots…but people are determined rumpholes who cant let other people have nice things, lol.
And yeah…this botting thing is going to be going on for as long as online games are a thing and its worth the botters time to do it.
Well its 5 players out of 40? its better than joining reg bgs. where you are half the team.
I like to bring my 5 healer team in epic bg.
But if they’re on your side, you’d win every time, right? Since multiboxers are unstoppable juggernauts who can one-shot anyone at any time?
lol. No. But when u get nuked by a hail of moonfire spam, it makes a ‘1 on 1’ battle a sad joke.
Multiboxing isn’t bannable, but market manipulation is. If you have evidence of a multiboxer manipulating your server’s economy, you can report them.
The reality is, a large number of multiboxers do it to manipulate the economy, the smart ones will do it across many different servers so they don’t monopolize the server’s market, thus avoiding any potential ban, but there are multiboxers who will have all the characters on the same server and plummet markets with herbs and other goods, which is reportable. It isn’t common though ever since phasing was a thing since it isn’t in their interest to have low market prices, so they usually will have all the characters on different realms, allowing them to obtain higher prices than if they were on the same realm, allowing them to pay for their account subs with the gold.
I would say the real issue though with multiboxing is caused by the wow token, it has made multiboxing far more easy to afford, as they can sustain themselves through the gold that comes in from their farming and is rather easy to maintain. Due to that, multiboxing isn’t something that isn’t difficult to afford anymore, anyone can do it, it just takes time to farm out the initial gold to pay for your first few accounts. Luckily, prices on all goods have dropped so much that farming is becoming really difficult for them, for example many herbs are now under 10g each and are rapidly falling as potions are becoming less and less desired with most guilds finishing their raid tiers or seeing they will not be able to complete the tier before prepatch. Maintaining 20+ accounts right now is becoming a full time job for them with all the herbing they’ll need to do, assuming they didn’t horde a ton of gold (which many smart ones do).
When blizzard first approved multiboxing, it was a far rarer occurrence to see than it is now. Today you can walk into Najatar and see a fairly substantial number of them. Just like anything in the world, times change, blizzard has the ability to review their approval, just like politicians were able to look back on past decisions on racial inequality and sexism, and change the rules to better align with today, that multiboxing has become detrimental to the average player and should be limited in some manner to lower its impact.
Multiboxing should had been reviewed back when Preparedwow literally farmed capital cities and pretty much killed servers. The fact blizzard would allow it and does not do what everyone else in the world does, and reviews their policy stances on these sort of behaviors for how reasonable they are, is pretty sad and shows their disconnect with the reality of allowing multiboxing.
how do we define ‘manipulation’? farming too much? Charging too little? Flipping and driving prices thru the roof?
why is it that boxers should be punished for doing what NON boxers get away with?
They shouldnt.
really? Good to know…and yet they updated their boxing statement TWO weeks ago…so CLEARLY they STILL say its ok.
Try again?
THEY DID…TWO weeks ago. LMAO.
“Updated: 2 weeks ago”
