When did Cris say anything about that? And does it apply to multiboxers?


Some post from Chris on reddit after the trouble with Nugi and friends farming low level bosses in order to accomplish great wealth fast. So nothing official here posted yet. It does might not apply to multiboxing as

multiloading = not necessarily multiboxing

just read through the entire thing...pretty much everybody is against multiboxing besides 2 or 3 people who just keep posting the same crap over and over again


We may be posting 'the same crap over and over again' but it doesnt make it any less valid. We just have to post it repeatedly because new people enter the conversation with terrible and outrageous claims.

And to your first point, I am also against multiboxing, but until it is deemed an illegal and a bannable offense, I will defend GGG's opinion of it.

I know it might be kinda hard, but a link to that would settle a LOT of questions for everyone in the community.

Thanx for that box vs log clarification.

You however are an exception, everything you post in every thread is crap.

Someday you should have a look at your post history. You never make positive contributions to threads, you come in, make a troll comment, go back to your bridge for a while then start again with the trolls.

It is clear you are no fan of this game and make no contribution to this community, but spite, hate and ignorance.

I play by myself. sometimes.

But i can only run 3/4 windows on my computer and i control them myself.

I personally think its fun to control 4 characters.

But it would be more efficient for me to level them up one by one. It can take me 2/3 hours to reach merveil with a 3 man party starting at level one.

It takes me back to the old days when i had multiple d2 discs n could trade between myself.
Smoother than Smooth.

And that was not a bannable offense either...as it seems to never be on the games I always see as being popular.

Yeah blizzard encourages multiboxing because you need several accounts equals more cash for them.

I dont think they encourage multiboxing...they seem to have the same stance on it as tons of other game companies. They are hesitant to say yes because they dont want to, but dont want to suffer the backlash of saying no as well.

Really? Is that the best you can do. Just an amateur troll I see.

No, multiBOXING does not provide you an unfair advantage. If anything it makes the game much harder to play.

MultiLOGGING is what you guys seem to be railing against. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

The difference has been explained several times, but I'll go ahead and give it a go one more time.

Multi-logging: Logging in other character in order to get more loot. These characters generally stay in one place and do nothing but provide the party loot bonuses.

# of characters in the party: 6
# of characters actively engaged in party activity: 1

Multi-boxing: Logging in multiple characters who are all active in the party, but controlled by one person.

# of characters in the party: 6
# of characters actively engaged in party activity: 6



Decry multi-logging as much as you want, just don't lump it in the same category as multiboxing. They're not the same thing.


How do you suppose they design a system that will tell them which characters are multiboxing and which are multilogging?

Short of something that will hamper legitimate players, there is no way. So multiboxing and multilogging get clumped into the same group.

In my opinion, neither multiboxers nor multiloggers are legitimate players, and I don't give a damn who disagrees, or what sort of egotistical logic anyone uses to try and justify either type.
