Kids are home schooled either of poor parents who don't want to put their kids through "the system" or rich ones that can afford teachers to home school them.

If I showed you some of the nonsense going on in local schools (including exposing minors as young as 11-12 to sexual content), it'd make your head spin. For example, imagine a brochure showing the back of a topless dude with his pants pulled down enough to expose the crack of his ass. In front of him is another dude kneeling as if giving him head. The brochure contains instruction on how to give head, should you deepthroat, etc etc. 11-12 year olds were exposed to this, along with words like "Want to fuck". Under the law, exposing minors to such content can send one to jail. Yet somehow the parents whose kids were exposed, asked for this teacher to be reinstated.

Next time you make fun of someone for being "home schooled", at least put aside the ignorance to understand why many parents choose this path.

And as for the /players, I agree that those of us that like to play on our own schedude shouldn't be penalized for playing solo.

Glenn Beck plays this game?

you probably think you're clever, but you're just proving his point.

I have to say something it gets on my nerves everytime I see this.


when people talk about muiltiboxing they are obviously talking about the ones that use external programs to control multiple character at a time. This is the only type of multiboxing people have EVER been concerned about so I really don't understand why some people want to confuse others on its meaning like this. Its almost like GGG wants the misunderstanding to continue or something... your talking about muling not multiboxing at least in terms of popular lingo and how its used. I really don't understand why people think it means something different in the context that its always discussed in. This is what it has meant for years now especially since it became well known in MMOs like WoW (ever run into a group of shamans in PvP all running together and doing everything simultaneously? Thats what people are talking about when they use the word multiboxing).


I assume Chris was just trolling when he did that since I find it hard to believe he didn't know what people are talking about when they use the term multiboxing. All he had to say is that its illegal and we would not keep seeing it brought up over and over again and seeing convoluted crap like this that only serves to confuse the issue even more. The terminology exists to separate the two distinctly different actions and is already commonly used except here for some reason. I can not simply wrap my head around why GGG doesn't spell it out for people so we don't have to see it brought up every 5 minutes. fuck it I'll do it

Muling = opening up multiple instances of the game on the same computer to trade loot between accounts. something commonly done when one needs more storage space.
Multiboxing = Using external programs to control several instances of the game in an attempt to give a single player control over multiple character at once.

very different things with very different consequences. Lets please quit with this bullshit its getting old just separate them so there's no more confusion.

Yesterday I responded to a Global request looking for a high IIQ/IIR sporker. I very rarely ever group mainly because before the last patch I wasn't quick enough for loot.

(Glass Cannon build doesn't do well in the midst of mobs).

So I thought sure I'll run some maps, have some fun, maybe actually pick up something.

I wish I had taken a screenshot at the verbal abuse. One of the group opened a map while the others finished one and for some reason I was chastised for that (it wasn't my map).
Then the bitching about my gear began. I wasn't running fast enough in my Wondertraps. I wasn't killing fast enough. I wasn't doing enough dps. I wasn't using Heartbreakers. My IIQ (110%ish) wasn't high enough. My IIR wasn't high enough. And so on.

And of course these internet tough guys used the foulest of language.

So here is my humble plea GGG.

Please patch in /players. I don't want to group and many others don't either. I want to run at my pace without being a multicheater, and without being cursed at and called racial slurs.

/players would also allow us to extreme test our builds especially if you took it to /players 12. Etc.

This game would be so much better with offline, tired of lag spikes and desyncs constantly killing me in Onslaught because of where I live (my only choice is a wireless ISP with a top speed of 2.5mbps). I never play with people anyway, takes all the fun out of it.
