You’re so incredibly incorrect. When some multiboxer who is absolutely using a third party program to control all his bots flies around and herbs 8+ stacks off every herb because he’s doing it immediately over and over again, it amounts to THOUSANDS of extra herbs on the auction house. They may not support the programs, but they are ALL using them. It is impossible to herb / mine the same node instantly with so many boxes otherwise. Once they are herbed or mined, the nodes expire shortly thereafter. They do not sit there and persist for anyone to come along and herb/mine at any time in the future.
Multiboxing with third party programs, and bot farming gold or mats in addition are killing the game. The economies are destroyed making it ridiculously hard to make gold.
NO CLASS and NO MOUNT should allow you to herb or mine without dismounting. I know that’s going to raise a huge stink, but that needs to happen. And yes, I have a druid. It doesn’t matter.
