Tolerating Multiboxing is a dangerous precedent to set

I don’t multi-box, so I have a question for those that do. Are rewards multiplicative?

1 member in the group = 1 Dreamflower. 20 members in the group= 20 Dreamflowers

If I could hold multiple jobs by myself and my clones, it would be perfectly fair, because my clones would also need food, living quarters. pay their own taxes, etc.

“Tolerate” is an excellent choice of words to describe how Blizzard has always treated multiboxing.

“Precedent” is incorrect usage. If something has always been the case, its continued existence is not “precedent”. “Precedent” would be someone in the vanilla alpha saying that. Not 16 years later.

Because they fully intend on getting rid of your job, pocketing the savings, and NOT passing said savings on to the consumer. In fact they’ll eliminate your job at all costs then raise prices.

That’s what a company does when they replace people with machines. It happens all the time.

So why do free market white knights defend it? When the singularity comes no job will be safe. A true AI can out lawyer a lawyer, perform surgery better than any surgeon, a robot can be a better police officer, a better soldier, a better laborer.

You won’t be able to outcompete a true AI. And you will starve because corporations don’t care.

From what I understand yes. So when you loot your chances of getting a green, for instance, is going to be greater than if you had one toon killing things one at a time. Not that a green item is going to make or break the game but you get the idea.

Except WoW is an imaginary world.

Then AH prices should be RISING as the botters take over, not decreasing as you are all saying.

The TLDR of all of your posts are “my stuff isn’t selling for as much as it use to and I’m upset.”

In any good business, the managers/CEO’s don’t go on a forum and complain when their income and sales drop. They try to understand why and adjust their business plan. So if you look at the market and see old expac herbs selling higher than current? Then maybe you should go farm some instead of blaming others for your lack of market foresight.

Free market white knights are either A. The people making the money. B. The suckers losing their jobs because the people with money have them convinced that someone is taking their jobs…usually a minority.

Well, that doesn’t sound right. It would stand to reason that there’d be 40 man groups running all over to improve their chances at getting epics.

Lets see if your market foresight saves you from the singularity. When a true AI will be able to out perform any doctor, lawyer, programmer, and robots run by said AI will be able to out perform any Police officer, soldier, laborer, technician.

You also cannot outcompete a multiboxer, unless you bott or multibox too.

Wrong. Things still have to be priced to sell. Right now mats for BFA are not selling, the xpac is nearly done so putting on a stack of leather is kind of a lost cause right now. Just because you are multiboxing doesn’t mean demand increases because you have man power…you have to price to get it off the shelf. In the beginning of the new xpac mats will be insane and then drop off steadily as it has for every xpac ever put out.

I’d be impressed to see a multiboxer do 15 different things at once tbh

Sure why wouldn’t it be. Clone yourself too :slight_smile:

They are just regular clones? Not like, clones with genetic modification so they are stronger, faster, work longer hours?

I’d probably switch to the healthcare field, those clones will still need medical attention from time to time :smiley: BigPharma would be even bigger.

:grimacing:

I’m not a “free market white knight” like you are an “anti-multiboxer white knight” defending the 4 chan crowd on this issue.

You are so far off topic here. A clone becomes its own person and lives its own life on existing. It was cloned, not born. Method of creation is the only difference.

This is a videogame that has nothing to do with reality. And in fact, a 5 multibox unit is less efficient than 5 solo players in every respect.

Dang it! You guys know you’re meant to wake me when a new multiboxer thread appears. I’m disappointed in all of you :frowning:

They are related topics. You can’t outcompete a multiboxer in gathering anymore than you can outcompete a true AI in anything.

Its not really, lets stick with the main topic on hand. Just the multiboxing please.

So then how exactly are the boxers hurting the economy? I thought they drove the prices down cause they could flood the market. Or at least that’s what’s been said in all the anti boxer threads.

So 40 people picking an herb doesn’t give 40 herbs to the multi-boxer?
