I strongly felt that multiboxing kept me subbed longer than not multiboxing in an expansion.
In the short term, but in the long term with most players MBâing MAUâs drop as content is devoured faster by the majority of the player base. Itâs really that simple.
Multibox manually, stop using third party software to cheat and youâll be fine.
That doesnât solve any of the issues Iâve presented above.
The current max level content and the way it is phasing is woven into the questing experence then that changes any reason the adpt to the hardware method of controlling more than one character. I did my sums and even invested in extra hardware but the experence I once had was no longer felt when I leveled through BFA and got that same feeling when going through Shadowlands on my DK.
I recall reading a comment made by a staff member years ago on the topic of the type of player with their journey in World of Warcraft.
Iâm pretty sure most botting/ but more likely gold selling is happening outside of western culture. I doubt there is enough profit in it but then again Iâve never bought or sold anything in an RMT way so I canât be sure. Thatâs why I believe your theory that itâs western culture that drives us to push the current boundaries doesnât really hold up very well. Your perspective that someone follows the rules more because of their culture is hard to picture.
Everyone is quick to call it cheating and those that do donât realize the complexity it adds to the game. Everything is setup manually. Macros setup character by character. 2-3x more keybinds to remember because you are tanking healing and damaging⌠cheating because it is easier⌠itâs actually the opposite.
Phasing does cause issues and while the issues canât be eliminated they can be minimized.
If MAUs werenât being overstated to share holders and counted correctly then I doubt the MAUs would fall as dramatically as you are stating. Let me mark my profile as a Multiboxer so you know to count me as one person. Should be simple enough right.
It can be pricey but then again multiboxing isnât a play style for everyone. It kept me going longer and Iâd still be active just as many others would on all my accounts if they hadnât gutted the alternative play style.
Asia doing thing for the greater good is almost laughable. And they are more likely to abide by the restrictions of a video game is even more so⌠I usually try to get there with other peoples perspectives but I just canât on this one.
I was a multiboxer for years. I dont need to judge the practice bad to understand why it might be controlled or banned.
Unfortunately, not many people understand the concept of âtoo much of a good thing is a bad thingâ. However the germans and the chinese have words for it as they understand it pretty well.
I wonder why english doesnt âŚlol
I would have continued down that path if it werenât for phasing.
I think Legion was the best and last great wow expansion to multibox through. Even with the different class halls. The questing was more than perfect and the zones were ideal.
So the argument is that multiboxers are tearing though content at a record pace and therefore it is ruining the experience and making developers make content that is harder for others. This I can tell you is a theory you have about multiboxing and not the reality of actually trying it. Not that you should be forced to but it might offer some additional insight as to the flaw in that thought process. The process of leveling is slower. Gearing is slower. Everything about it is slower but thatâs what I like. The ability to go at my own pace.
Funny that everyone talks about that âwhite democracyâ, but complain when that results in restriction of individual freedoms ⌠which is always. lol
This has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.
That is absolutely not what I said:
What I said is if you remove restrictions then more people will MB, and then yes, content will be burned through at an accelerated pace as I described above.
This is not what he said. He said that the tendency of westerners to overstate their own wants without considering the ramifications of the whole exists. And itâs a true statement.
I donât believe anyone has called it cheating in this discussion. Even if one did, that is not the issue. Weâre discussing the consequences of MBâing in the game. Not whether it is cheating or not.
Asian societies as a whole do consider the whole over the individual when it comes to decisions that affect the whole.
I thought we were having a discussion. But it seems you stopped reading and responding to the entirety of the posts.
No they donât. People who play the AH ruin economies.

Yes they do. Multiboxing is basically printing money into the economy via supply and demands in large supply.
They still can and in fact anyone can. So nothing was ruined.
Also, you donât have any facts to back up your opinion.
I make people pay 3x the cost of herbs on my server. This is definitely printing gold!
