I think the fact this this particular game gives such a massive advantage to party play -- as compared to WoW for example which gives no party benefit whatsoever is the reason it's such a hot topic

and that is why this should be banned on loot based games... just like multi accounts are bannable on real time strategy games, but not on loot games... controlling entire party with one click should be bannable on loot based games since more pople more loot- but during multiboxing loot is NOT shared, its goes to ONE person..

Please...tell me what RTS bans people for having more than one account. I have used multiple account in MANY RTS games and never been banned. They even allow for more than one client of the game up.

anyone else chuckle when he said people multibox for the challenge and not for a loot advantage?

yep, i'm sure some people do actually multibox for any other reason than loot in this game, but i'm willing to bet it's a very small percentage

Why the fuck are people trying to justify their cheating bullshit? FUCKING MAN UP , pussy fucks

We do not tolerate you acting like this in-game, Gorlak -- what made you think it'd be any more acceptable here?

Look zalm, i understand you haven't been here very long, but I have hundreds of friends in this game , most of who have been here since the beginning as well. They are all becoming discouraged by this bullshit that's happening, and are slowly leaving one by one, these are people who support the game, and see it's potential. When pussy cheating fucks like these multiloggers are ruining the ingame economy and throwing the trading askew, then yes I get fucking angry. Why don't you understand that?

As long as they dont implement the /players command i will consider multi-boxing/clienting as cheating. Because it gives you a massive currency advantage and ruins the economy by inflating the prices, which will suck for those that dont do it.

Oh and just for your information, there is a difference between allowed(implying encouraged) and not disallowed.

Yes, you've been here longer and you're an alpha member.

Like it or not, that means you are held to a higher standard of conduct than you might find personally preferable.

Make your point and make it without insulting others, Gorlak. I know you know how. Get angry if you want, but understand that there are ways to express your anger without causing needless conflict and basically making yourself look like a contentious troll.

When pussy cheating fucks like these multiloggers

Because of that....I dont understand why you have to insult people because they play differently than you. I dont understand how you can consider it cheating when the rule makers dont. What I cant understand is why YOU stay with a game you like that has rules you dont. I dont understand why it is you have to hurl insults period when there are much better ways to handle problems.

Multiboxing isnt cheating as far as 90% of the gaming communtiy is concerned and you seem to be the vocal minority insulting everyone else.

I find it to be morally reprehensible metagaming.
It's not breaking any rules, so that's how it is for now.
I'd much rather see changes made to the party bonus system (not just varying numbers) to make multiboxing worthless unless you're actively playing the other characters too.

You'll note I never give my personal opinion on the practice. That's not my place. But I'll +1 Pneuma's call, although I think something as blatant as 'players x' is beneath GGG's abilities.
