Tolerating Multiboxing is a dangerous precedent to set

Multiboxing is a scourge in Wow and the devs need to find a way to properly identify mb’s and just ban them.

Or force them all into their own mb server so they can play with each other.

I don’t wanna see their dumb pile of druids clipping into each other in SL or tapping out all the herbs.

Well it is inaccessible, therefore cannot be considered in this discussion.

That’s the problem. If they don’t explain what they mean by ‘proof’, or what they could accept as ‘proof’, then nobody would ever be able to provide said ‘proof’.

They aren’t going to retroactively ban people.

:frowning:

I was thinking of leveling my hunters first anyways :stuck_out_tongue:

Therefore no one can know anything for sure and are making guesses.

Anything would be better than the nothing that you have presented so far.

Only because you know you don’t have anything to back up your claims.

Oh please. Drop the victim act. You made some ridiculous claims and now you’re acting all hurt because other people are expecting to back up those claims.

Either withdraw your claims and apologize for wasting our times or figure out some way to back up your claims.

You don’t get to just say people should be banned from the game without backing up your reasons for wanting them to be banned.

I’ll make it easy for you for them to identify me. I multibox on a daily basis and I’m not hiding that fact from anyone.

There is only a problem with multi-boxing if the player is controlling several avatars at one time. If they just have multiple windows open and switch between each window to control them naturally, one input per one avatar, then I could really care less about it.

It is when people run syndicate trains with auto-piloted minion avatars that copy the prime’s inputs that it becomes a problem, because that is cheating.

There’s a RP chokepoint near the beginning of the SL intro. Pretty sure both Alliance and Horde will be there so everyone will be together for a moment :slight_smile:

There’s no auto-piloting going on. Each character is being directly controlled by the player. You press a single button and each character performs a single action.

You’ll be happy to know, it’s already like that :slight_smile:

This never happens

It isn’t

No one can know anything about the hard data, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use our brains to think. We can still consider how it may negatively impact the game and the experiences of others. Such is what my arguments are based upon.

Actually no. A separate program is copying certain inputs and applying them to certain characters. You are not directly controlling them.

But all that, at the end of the day is guessing. You can say, “Because of the Longboi the amount of multiboxers there are has doubled” but you don’t KNOW that, Blizz’s data could show there’s only been a 5% increase in multiboxing. Maybe YOU see that 5% and that’s why you think there’s more but there’s no way to know it.

and blizzard says thats fine.

Stop amking these useless threads, blizzard has been ok with multiboxing since wow started.

One player controlling several characters at the same time provides an unfair advantage. Whether or not that constitutes “cheating” by Blizzard standards is up to them, but one player should be controlling one avatar at a time.

If a player has multiple windows open and switches between each individual window to send input commands to each avatar, which is natural gameplay, then that is not providing an unfair advantage.

I’m not seeing X and saying Y though. I am making connections. People don’t tend to like unfair BGs. Therefore, since boxers make BGs unfair (either for the time they are on, or against) then those boxers are making the game worse for other players for the sole reason being that one player is controlling multiple accounts at once.

People don’t like waiting in queues. Therefore, for one person to take up seven spots in a realm, forcing six people to wait in queues, is unfair and bad for the game. It makes the experience of those waiting, not even getting to play the game, much worse than it improves the game for the boxer.

Nope. It’s direct control. You press a single button and each character performs a single action in response to that button. They don’t do anything else.
