“Excess wealth” - wealth envy in a fake digital world?
I’m a grown man. Rich people existing doesn’t bother me. Not sure what you mean.
blizzard is the bad guy here not the players doing things within the rules. you want to start picking on anyone pick on the botters and blizzard for allowing this to go on for 15+ years
Thank you for the clarification.

I would have no problem with the story requiring everyone to craft if they made it so that every character had their own armor type crafting automatically and still got to choose 2 other professions.
If the AH is going to be ridiculous for legendaries, it’s either suck it up and buy tokens or roll characters with the right crafting for me. Neither of which sounds appealing.
I might do something like this. I’m not deeply invested into multiboxing. Just annoyed multiboxers are getting a hammer while bots are running wild. But I am/was half way to having my 5 shadow priests leveled. So maybe I will.
That’s not automation… And that wasn’t cheating until now. I’ll spend my money how I want thank you very much sir.

Very curious timing here as we are well into the pre-order of SL and just a few weeks away from launch.
I kinda feel bad for people who bought multiple copies of SL and then this happens. Hope they can get a refund.
So will the next big complaint be along the lines of “Waaaaaaah, the AH prices are too high and there are no more decent transmog items for affordable prices!”?

The mechanics of chromie time might counter this.
as chromie time opens up 13 addition parallel locations of any farming spot.
each xpac has a chromie time and WM is also its own phase that sticks to the respective chromie time. Party sync gets 50s into chromie time.
the world indeed got 14 times as big in SL. it just isn’t well known enough by the player base
I currently have seven active accounts, but due to the policy change, I requested a refund for five of the Shadowlands base edition I pre-purchased.
Just as i expected they would, they responded swiftly and have granted me a refund.
I may not like the policy changes, but I respect them and will adhere to them. I respect Blizzard for allowing me to get a refund since I won’t be using those accounts any longer.
I do feel the policy change has more to do with bots than actual multi-boxers. Bots also sometimes have been using multi-boxing software to do their deeds, so now if key replication is no longer allowed, this allows Blizzard to easily warn and ban accounts that do not adhere to the rules.
I think the changes are good. I can’t believe I’m saying that as a lover of multi-boxing, but it’s true, I do believe it.
I was able to, the process was easy. I told them which five of my seven accounts I wanted a refund for and why I was requesting it and they got back to me within three hours and granted my request.
Very fair of them. Blizzard has always been good to me.

Every player has the ability, you just chose not to. It’s not an UNFAIR advantage unless it was only available to a select subgroup of people and not everyone. Cute wordsmithing though.

Why would they get a refund? If you read the ToU, the use of these particular 3rd party software enhancements is clearly listed as “not-supported”, meaning that it wasn’t an actionable offense at that time but that it COULD become one at any given time.
Because MBing has never been against the rules. Blizzard has stated in the past that they were OK with it.
They recently changed their minds - WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE - but to not allow refunds when people were planning based on the rules at the time would be a f’d thing to do.
But as Glaivedancer said above, Blizzard is processing refunds.

This change will have zero effect on botters. They will adapt and overcome, like they ALWAYS have.

Of course they will. It doesn’t change the fact that key-replication should have never been allowed in the first place. Yes, I benefitted from it too, but it should never have been allowed.
We can agree to disagree.
Blizz need to make them use mask.
