Multi-Boxing. Finally. The facts.

Zalm I am sure that 90% of this community would say no to multiboxing if they knew how outrageous the benefits were. Don't kid yourself. Either they would say its cheating or they would learn how to do it. I am assuming you learned how to do it.

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.


Maybe I should clarify then....90% of the game making and game moderating community.

I'll agree, multiboxing sucks, but as long as it isnt against the rules, your not a cheater. The devs dont think your a cheater, so you arent a cheater. You may not be a valid gamer, but you arent a cheater.

Maybe you posted before you read my post. I made a clarification. 90% of game makers and game moderators. Like GGG and Blizzard and Runic.

I will agree to this, but having played a lot of games in my time I can say 19/20 games that I have played allow multiboxing. as I said...I can only think of 1 game that doesnt allow multiboxing...and thats Perfect World.

What zalm and people who support this don't get (or care for) is that it makes players like me, enshin and others want to not participate with the community, because it is abused and it will continue to be abused.

In our eyes, it completely devalues the meaning of the economy and community participation. Do you want people like us to stay? Understand that in the current form, multi-boxing allows for incredibly abusive behaviour which is obviously counter to the game design intent, if the developers *wanted* us to play with 6 characters, they'd probably make it a priority, but instead they add things like totems, more skills, other functionality and content.

So when you throw around allegations of ignorance, you are no less ignorant yourself.

Funny, I made this long, detailed post and tried to back it up with a whole bunch of real facts, in order to try to calm this whole "discussion" of multi-boxing.

All it seems to have done is dredge up a few trolls who can't do anything but swear and insult.

Why are the mods allowing such blatant swearing and insulting to go unpunished?

Surely that kind of abuse deserves at least a few days in the cooler?

.
I dont think Zalm really cares about the integrity of the game at all, which is why he can't really see anyone elses point of view and even compares this game to d3 to support his point of view.

D3.....is there any game out there right now with less gaming integrity than d3?

I didnt throw the insult of ignorance out, I simply agreed and showed some valid points of it. And I have stated a few times of a game that doesnt allow multiboxing. If you dont like a game that allows it, then you might try that game. And just because they dont make it a priority doesnt mean they want to restrict it.

Honestly if this gets made into a ban where multiboxing isn't allowed anymore t is their own faults for rubbing their spoils and insane amount of currency in our faces.

Also I am 100% certain gold farmers aRe making a FORTUNE multiboxing.
