Tolerating Multiboxing is a dangerous precedent to set

A true AI is a robot, not a clone. When your company decides to replace you with a robot because you are less efficient than a robot, you have no recourse.

The equivalent of the robot is the bot in the game, not the multiboxer. But you’re fine with bots, I guess. That tells me you’re a botter.

Ah, another person who doesn’t actually play the game and has never done herbalism, so they don’t know how it works.

Thinking that a 40 man multibox unit 1. is common and 2. can loot a node 40 times just shows how clueless you lazy thinkers are. I guess somebody who has never actually played the game bought a boost to create your character, that’s just how clueless you are.

Oops. Nope. If the goal is to get a mount drop for each human in the competition; 5 single players vs a 5 man multiboxer, the advantage goes to the multiboxer. The multiboxer only needs to get the drop once, the other team will need it to drop 5 times.

I’m not a botter, I see botters as no different from multiboxers.

I believe that his argument, which you may not be familiar with if you aren’t a regular of these threads, is that multiboxers don’t loot more than any single player. You loot an herb and get 3 each multiboxing character gets 3 as well, they aren’t getting 10 for example.

In that example I’d switch to a different job :man_shrugging:

What about the people that develop and maintain the clone technology?

Unless you’re the one building it :wink:

Hey Nourox good to see you again

They are different, but share the fact that they both technically violate ToS. Even if blizz bends the rules to accommodate multiboxers and not botters.

You just refuse to accept

Even though it says it’s not a violation

You refuse to accept that ToS says any unfair advantage is bannable. They just refuse to enforce their own written word for $15 X how ever many accounts they buy.

We have drawn a line. You’re talking about automated behavior. Multiboxing is not automated. There is no automation. There is no great advantage, there is no illicit behavior, there is no overwhelming benefit, there is no automation .

yeah, look at how long it took them to do that? The last update to the Multiboxing support article was a month ago. AND we have not heard one peep from the Blizzard devs or CM about this except on the CS forums when you people kevetch there.

That’s clearly a lie. No great advantage? No overwhelming benefit? No automation? They are just warping the facts for money.

I know it’s wrong, which was partially my point. The narrative is the automation causes prices to drop? But we don’t actually see that in the free market. Also, in the free market some companies put less up for sale to create a “scarcity” that will keep prices high. My point is that players are posting about the economy, but don’t seem to understand how businesses are able to keep prices high while also automating. It’s because they have a marketing team and people who watch trends to decide what should be sold.

As I said in a previous post in this thread, the reason BFA mats are so low is everyone is trying to empty their bank and bags to make room for new mats, gear, etc. Not just MB’s - everyone. And I’m not an MB - I can barely handle leveling alts so no way could I handle worrying about the one following me!

Like you guys quite often do.

" or engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating. "

what does that mean?

Means we need to define unfair :slight_smile: Actually, it means we need Blizzards definition

It means we all have to progress at the exact same rate. Nobody can get AOTC unless we can all get AOTC.

It means they either need to re-write the ToS, remove it altogether, or enforce it.

If in a raid they share and if not in a raid it is seperate loot, in regards to mob kills. I do not multibox, so i cannot say for sure.

I’m going to request they merge in that bit about Multiboxing :slight_smile:
