The thruth about Multi Boxers for Casual players

I like how your transmog makes your forums avatar match the colour of your class next to your posts

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

Huh? Do you think that was all one person? I think its pretty evident when you combine realms the multiboxers on each individual cluster will increase, itā€™s not rocket science. Now theres no where to farm for stuff if you are a lowly solo player who isnā€™t on 24/7.

never said it was one person. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
what I actually remember sayingā€¦

you all have been

butā€¦material nodes seem to be player specific now so you can still harvest within a minute or two of some one else?

My personal problems come from two things: over saturation of the market for ā€˜in demandā€™ items massively dropping the value to the point of making harvesting professions only useful for harvesting materials for yourself/your guild, and two, when doing quests that require you to kill certain mobs, as Iā€™ve had instances of 6 pack multiboxer druids just spamming starfall in an area to suppress/tag all those mobs and lock others from being able to farm them for needed quest progressions

Those are bots, they may or may not be using multiboxing software, thatā€™s a red herring to throw of the discussion. Just right click and report for cheating, just one or two will do, the GMs can sort out the rest.

I know some people that can farm mobs until their eyes bleed. I enjoy the playstyle of multi-boxing, but thereā€™s no way in heck that Iā€™m gonna station myself in a small area and run back and forth for hours on end. Thatā€™d put me to sleep in a heartbeat. I realize that most of them are bots, but the ones that do actually choose to multi-box and stay in a particular area for a lengthy amount of timeā€¦ no way I would have the patience for that.

Iā€™d rather farm mobs in old raids and dungeons, where I know I wonā€™t be getting in anyoneā€™s way.

People have been quite nice to me in-game since i started multi-boxing around 4 1/2 months ago. I try to help out if i see someone struggling with a mob while doing an assault or something, I donā€™t multi-box because I look to cause someone to have an unenjoyable experience. I do it because itā€™s a playstyle Iā€™ve really grown to enjoy.

Yes, I do enjoy the advantages I get from it, obviously, but itā€™s also useful when I feel like playing alone, donā€™t feel like waiting for a queue and Iā€™ll just run myself through leveling dungeons. Itā€™s nice to have those options available to me.

On the forum and in the game, I will treat you with absolute respect as long as you offer me the same thing.

Ravenhawk, I realize i replied on your post, none of this is directed at your feelings or thoughts on multi-boxing, Iā€™m just too lazy to re-do it all.

In any case, I usually peruse the multi-boxing threads as of late. Not to get into petty arguments or troll, Iā€™m in my 40ā€™s, I donā€™t have time to be doing stupid things like trying to act like an intentional idiot. That will never be my style. My style is to explain myself too much, but such is life, we all have our flaws.

Iā€™m ready for Shadowlands, bring on the pre-patch.

No harm, no foul. Itā€™s alright brother.

Even transmog and a few other markets have taken a complete dump.

ā€œYeah! I can buy these leggings for 3k now!ā€
Yeah, except if the market werenā€™t being flooded with them, youā€™d be able to go farm them yourself and sell them for 80k.
Apparently the concept of farming things oneā€™s self is so insane for some people they want to ruin the game for everybody else.

Did this with the Tidespray shuffle.
Itā€™s boring and an unintended side effect of materials being that heavily deflated.

Also, if boxers start processing stuff theyā€™ll wind up tanking the sale value of crafted items, which has happened to quite a few things I used to sell.
If gold making starts coming down to ā€œbuy stuff that was boxed off the AH and sell it for a 4g profitā€ - thatā€™s actually garbage.

Please donā€™t try to defend multi-boxing. It only makes you look stupid.

yeah, coming from the person that didnā€™t know what a KVM switch was.

Sorry that I donā€™t multibox or use a linux? Multi-boxing is legal cheating. Facts is facts.

an oxymoronā€¦ canā€™t be cheating if itā€™s legal.

People are too dumb to know the difference between a BOTTER and a Multiboxer.

It is very common for a BOTTER to Multibox.
But that doesnt mean all Multiboxers are Botters.

People should be screaming for Blizzard to actually open their damn eyes and pay attention to the Botting problem more than just sending out banwaves every 4 years.

:shield:
:nerd_face:

False. Not everything immoral is illegal. And not everything legal is moral. You should take a class on ethics my ill informed friend.

Walmart also offers goods at a deep discount.
That doesnā€™t mean I like it. So, my take away is that boxers are the Walmart of WoW.

At least I know what ā€œa linuxā€ is.

I know, he is trollingā€¦

An older operating system? What about it? Linux is a playground for programmers, and is where Microsoft got the basis for their command prompt from back in the day.

You really like to make false assumptions and put words in my mouth donā€™t you?
