U have to read the whole thread next time. My perspective is different now.
Iâve played this game for 10 years and only had more than one active account for the last three.
So I think I know which style of play gives me the greatest satisfaction.
Blizzard straight up said MULTIBOXING is Fine⌠So based on the owners of the game it is not cheating⌠Do i like it NO but its not breaking the rulesâŚ
Yeah I am not here to tell you how to live your life. Like I said, over and over lol, itâs your brain, your life. I respect your autonomy. Just respect my perspective too. Itâs not invalid in this case. It might not be your cup of tea, but what I am saying is true. You donât care about what youâre missing out on and thatâs fine. Itâs literally impossible to experience all of chinaâs culture in a human lifetime. Thatâs just chinaâs culture too, think of how much else there is to reality. Missing out in this life is inevitable. Iâm not saying you have to avoid missing out at all costs, thatâs whack. But you should acknowledge all the differences between the ways of utilizing your consciousness. I am also missing out on what you gain from multi-tasking. I am okay with that. You should be aware of your decisions I think, and the alternatives.
You have been dismissing my perspective as made up this whole time. As if experiencing something while multi-tasking is possible to be the same as experiencing something on its own. Itâs not humanly possible to have the same experience. Thatâs all I am saying. You have a good experience multitasking, you have the experience you want. Itâs just not the same as if you were only doing one thing.
Your stance is only different because you started arguing with different people, itâs like you try to adapt to âwinâ every time when in fact you just shoot yourself down in each of them little by little as you contradict yourself or change stances every time your view is antagonized.

No I really donât think youâve read this entire thread.
edit: Like if you look at the post where there was an actual change in my position, it was a sudden shift. Flip flop, like I always do in life. As soon as I see the validity of the other side I change over. Why would I linger in being wrong?
Oh please, you changed positions when the two druids left so you could not keep arguing the âhah youâre still here because me saying you cheat is making you feel bad about yourselvesâ stance
Would it make you feel better if I told you that you were right even though I donât mean it?
What Iâm dismissing is your insistence that playing a single account is preferable to playing multiple accounts. It would show hubris for me to tell you my play style is superior to yours, and it shows equal hubris for you to tell me repeatedly that your play style is superior.
The patronising presumption evident in your statement:
You donât care about what youâre missing out on and thatâs fine.
is mind-blowing. I already told you I played this game with one account for 7 whole years before multiboxing, and if youâre referring to other aspects of my life - you have no idea.
As for:
But you should acknowledge all the differences between the ways of utilizing your consciousness.
Iâve possibly been studying Buddhism and practicing meditation-induced altered states of conciousness, both while doing nothing else and while busily multitasking, for longer than youâve been alive.

I didnât say it was superior. Youâre the one making it into a contest of the end all be all from my side. Itâs just different. You and saraslam have both asserted that there is no difference and that I have no proof of there being a difference. Thatâs spreading misinformation. There is 100% a difference between the consciousness that is focused on one activity and the consciousness that is multitasking. It changes the nature of your experience entirely. For better, or for worse, depending on the individual and activity they are engaging in. Everyone is different in that regard, for sure. But you donât have some superpower double consciousness that enables you to experience two things on their own at once. Thatâs Dr Manhattan level superpower. Itâs not something a human being can do.
Itâs not patronising or presumption either, itâs literally what you said in the post I replied to. You know from experience that you prefer the way you play. To assert that itâs not different is just inane though.
Good for you to practice for longer than 28 years. You must be a very advanced practitioner.
Which keeps saying the other should do something?
You or me?
Incorrect. Neither of us have stated there is no difference. If I have, quote it.
I repeat: Neither of us have stated there is no difference. If I have, quote it.
We all experience multiple things at once. Itâs not a superpower; itâs just human nature.
Your repeated statements concerning what I should do, overlaid with the presumption that you have some superior knowledge which enables you to see the world in a superior way, is certainly presumptuous.
I have never said there is no difference between playing one account and playing multiple accounts. I have said I find playing two accounts preferable. I would certainly not pay for more than one account if I found the experiences just the same.
I began regularly visiting a Buddhist temple and studying meditation on Vesak, 1976. It was a memorable day.

I enjoy reading your posts, you prove to be very patient 
Thank you, that means a lot to me - though I often donât succeed in being patient in real life.

Agreed, itâs much easier when you can edit your message before answering⌠talking can sometimes be a mindless unrevised mess.
Every single one I have hasnât responded to my messages. Thatâs how anecdotal evidence works: itâs completely useless in the grand scheme of things.
Yes, especially once youâre getting involved and having to cook and look after family at the same time. I can never seem to get a post perfect on first draft.
Then what the heck lol. Why are you arguing with me? I have repeatably said I donât care what you do with your experience for a long time as long as you know. You clearly know. I didnât know that prior to you explaining your backstory. How would I have known?
I have been encouraging your use of multiboxing for a long time now. I respect it. Itâs its own thing.
I think you believe I am confused(about the topic)when I am not. I honestly donât even know what youâre arguing at this point. I am confused why we are arguing still.
edit: Is it because youâre interpreting me saying that to experience WoW in its truest purest form, as me implying that it is superior to an experience of WoW with less purity to it? Because that wasnât my assertion. Purity of experience =/= quality of experience necessarily. Thatâd be a small minded assertion. You asked me to quote where you or saraslam refuted my perspective, just look at saraslamâs last reply to me. But can you point out where I implied the pure way of experiencing WoW is the better or superior way? I canât recall saying something so opinionated.
Then you should be relieved to find out that we aint cheating, as per blizzard.

And there is also a concept of not being able to handle reality, so deflecting that reality with all sorts in irrelevant tripe to keep oneself from accepting that reality.
MBing isnt cheating. end of debate. Not until blizzard says it is.
uh⌠
You ever see a real cook, even some little old woman in her 80s, in a kitchen working like a flipping machine, perfectly timing 8 courses, doing a dozen things at once?
yeahâŚlittle hintâŚmultitasking DIDNT start with the digital age, guy.
Keep trying.
yeahâŚand research shows that people who use their brain more are actually less likely to suffer from crap like dementia and alzheimers.
Exercise your brain manâŚ
and?
I like to heal for ONE reasonâŚthis game can bore the pants off me with its overly simplistic mechanics.
Healing allows me to keep a team alive AND try to do as much DPS as I possibly can at the same time.
You knowâŚthat multitasking thing you kept tossing a fit about last eve.
QUIT telling us how to enjoy OUR game.
uhâŚnoâŚit cant happen when YOU are multitasking, apparently.
For many of US OUR brains do better when theyre not wading thru stagnant pond muck but are more active and doing more than one mindlessly easy thing at a time.
muh canz walk and chew gums ats the sames time
dudeâŚstop playing Sigmund in here. You very obviously AINT him.
People are DIFFERENT. The very fact that many people ARE MBing while some have said they tried it and couldnt, is conclusive proof that youre little psyche theory is a laughable joke.
There is no limitation stopping someone from MBing except their own skill level and determination, desire to do it and maybe some wiring issues.
ANOTHER person can do it and not break a sweat.
When I heal I also do a crap ton of DPSâŚMULTItasking.
When my wife heals she doesnt bother DPSing because to HER its overwhelming.
STOP pretending as if YOU determine OUR limitations.
Its just embarrassing at this point.
What?
Sounded to me like what he was saying is that we all have DIFFERENT levels of ability.
And thats proven every time someone gets turned down for a job they clearly cant do but the next guy can.
Exactly. Ive saved myself from being in dozens of horrible wrecks over the years because I keep my eye on EVERYONE all around my carâŚahead of me as far as I can seeâŚand behind me the same.
I watch that idiot behind me cutting in and out of lanes, driving 20 over the speed limit because I know Im in his path.
My mother, on the other hand is the ten and two, still stuck in high school drivers ed, death grip on the wheel, watching that one car in front of her sort.
Its hysterical that these two are actually telling us what OUR limitations in a video game are now.lol
Guess the âcheatingâ joke didnt work, so now weâre on to the metaphysical LMBO.
They arent required to respond to you. I ignore pretty much everyone who talks to me unless there is some reason to respond.
No one owes anyone else a response.
Dont use the muscle and it atrophies.
Sorry but your arguments have seriously devolved since I went to bed, LOL
Just give it up, guy.
People are MBing and all the false accusations and Sigmund Freudery isnt going to change that.
Dont like it?
Take it up with the Rule MakerâŚblizzard.
EZ
the irony just blew the meter, LOL 
Evidently you are.
The slanderous accusation of âcheatingâ didnt convince us to change our cheating waysâŚso then you moved on to child psychology instead to try to coerce us with fear tactics.
Too bad we arent 12 year olds whoâd be naive enough to buy it.lol
