Then mule accounts should be banned as well which means you better pay for stash tabs.

Also are you kidding me rich????? You have to gear all those characters too dude, aside form that you still lose the grind if one of those characters dies which is harder to keep them up than one so again I see a 1 sided argument against it with no real understanding of why it is a complex playstyle. i don't mind people have their opinions, but at least have a logical one.

just to be clear, multi-boxing is okay only if you're manually playing each character.

On the one hand, it's true that there is nothing unethical about a person who uses this technique.

On the other hand, this is exactly the crap excuse the ISBoxer cheat crowd is going to use, therefore we need to ban ALL multiboxing (including muling) to prevent them from talking their way out of abuses.

What you really mean is to spare the few, the few who cheat and deserve banishment.

All forms of third-party automation ran on the client computer (to include scripts) and all forms of multiboxing (to include muling) should be bannable. Note that bannable does not mean "GGG must ban you, they have no choice about it"; they should still be able to choose not to. However, a EULA that specifically makes these actions bannable should be put out, we should all agree to it, and then GGG should be able to decide, purely at their own discretion, whether or not to ban you for multiboxing.

Or better yet, just GGG can ban you at any time, without notice or cause, because they feel like it.

The point is that I trust GGG to do the right thing. I don't trust a cheating RMT asshole pointing to a document and saying that GGG can't do anything to him. Although to be honest I'm not a lawyer and I don't know exactly how crap like that works.

That is not botting, you people need to really research and understand the difference between botting and multiboxing. Bots do EVERYTHING for you where as multiboxing nothing is done for you to enhance gameplay. You still need ot be at the keyboard and cannot go afk at all. Running all in the same direction does not mean they are botting they could just be multiboxing. People cry about multiboxing yet do not realize that it is not easy in a game like PoE and you have to have hardware capable of handling all those clients which means you have made a huge money dump to ensure your pc can handle that. There is far more complexity in multiboxing where as there is none in botting. Please get your facts straight before accusing of one thing when it could be something completely different. I personally multibox myself and wont need to once the new patch is implemented for loot to name as I know I will get my loot as a caster. When I have to sit back to ensure I dont get killed I lose a lot of loot to people ninjaing and is the biggest reason I started multiboxing int he first place. Granted they should not be using a program to move all characters at once as that is against the ToS but you can run 5 clients without doing that. I understand they are violating by using a program that moves them all at once but they are not botting is all I am saying, there is a HUGE difference.
