Opinions are something hard to argue because they dont need facts and rarely even bother with them. But I agree they arent legitimate players in the same way a normal player is.

But using any kind of defense isnt egotystical....some of us, like me, are defending them because GGG allows them to play, so they are as much a player of this game as you or I. Less legitimate in terms of opinion, but still a gamer nonetheless.

You don't try and stop multiboxing on the security/programming side.

You make it inefficient. Either by making a better alternative (/player) or by removing the benefit (modify the +quantity/player)

Full disclosure: I have yet to pay GGG anything. I am still waiting to see how this beta turns out. This is not a game I want to pay for yet.

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

So you come on to ask a question, then say you don't care about the answer.

I must admit, the quality of troll in this thread is dropping. This is a sad time for Troll'dim.

I am willing to bet GGG just shits all over item rarity when you out level content. Just put it to the same formula as quantity. BAM, done.

Multiloggers will just get 20+ blues from a boss.

Doing this will more than likely end up dissuading players to even party up. Why party with random or even buddies when I can solo and get all the loot for myself?

Or even worse...why party with ANYONE if we have to split 1 person loot more than 1 way.

I like pizza and dont mind sharing, especially if there are 6 people sharing one pizza. But I refuse to share my only piece of pizza with 6 people.

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

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

1/10

.

that is the ONLY reason blizzard allowed, it cold hard cash, from the rmah and more boxxed copies.

If anything id say multiplayers are passionate about the game.


Sometimes my friends aren't online. Who else better to trust and party with than myself?



It adds a new dimension of challenge to the game to master.

I wish I could read and keep up with all this reddit stuff, but alas, I'm no good with reddit...then again, that was my first time on the site.

All I got was something was being changed and they were discussing on how to do it without undermining alot of hard work...

No. I say they are not legitimate players.

The entire motivation behind it is greed.

Some say challenge. If you want challenge, play hardcore, or soon, cut-throat.
Some say a skill check. If you want a skill check, make a melee char with no life nodes.
Some say they want to level and gear 6 characters at once. If you want to gear six chars at once, then you can do it like everyone else. If you want to level 6 chars at once, then you might need a brain check-up.

Bottom line, is that both multiboxing and multilogging is about greed. It's about player X getting absolutely as much of Y for themselves as they possibly can, to the exclusion of anyone else.

And if you actually fool yourself into thinking this is good for the game, then you might want to remember this discussion 6 months from now when you are paying 100 Exalted for something that at the moment only costs 5.
