To reiterate, I agree that it should be allowed in non-race leagues. Doesn't really bother me.

holy jumpin fcking jesus are you serious?

its not just quick exp,its also quick currency...do you know what happens when you start printing money out of you ass? inflation happens

i guess you have never played a game with multiboxing affected economy otherwise you wouldnt post something so stupid

Um, its no different than a /player x command. I think the exp is an issue, and inflation.... Currency is USED in this game. Were not talking about gold here.

one of the most important part of poe is gear,getting better and better stuff by either farming,crafting or TRADING

now imagine you want an item,its exactly what you want,you bid everything you have farmed over a period of time...and someone else bids 2x times more because he is running around with full party of his own

congrats you just got beaten by an exploiter,he is not better player,he is not smarter nor does he play more, he is just willing to exploit holes in the game - im pretty sure thats the exact feeling that would keep me playing this game for longer period of time

As I've said before. CB is about finding these things out.

Agreed. But we are 2months from OB & it's hard to know just how many ppl are waiting for that to try the game. If the population of this game is about to double, treble or more then we could see a large influx of bad eggs that ruin the game for everyone else because the right measures are not in place.

Dashton: maybe you got outbid because someone farmed fellshrine in groups who split up. It's the exact same thing.

QFT.

What they should do is boost single player drops and nerf party drops hard, then no one would multi-box (for loot). :p

I agree, boosting is very lame. Especially in a game such as this :S

And noone would party up either.


The /players 1-6 command is the only true fix here. Not only would it solve the boosting issue, it would allow us to increase the difficulty when the face starts-a-rollin

I said that half in jest, although I think party loot could get nerfed further, relative to solo loot, and solo loot could get boosted a bit. But I really need to see the party results with the current drops in action before I commit to that statement. Without seeing it in action in a race, it feels about right, now.

I wholeheartedly agree the /players 1-6 command is the best answer, but there needs to be other tweaking as well, something to make that command as valuable (or at least close) as throwing in a few of the lowest level afks you can, otherwise people will still game the system.

The issue with this command that others have brought up, is that it discourages parties.

That's what the bonus is there for in the first place to encourage people playing together.

Who knows what GGG will do. Only time will tell.

That does not mean inflation cannot happen. Especially once this goes open beta and the private cash shops will open up. Don't think there won't be any. As long as you allow such exploits people will make real money with it.

Exactly people will simply sell the orbs that they have got from boosting instead of the normal gold.

And lets face it with the amount of item quantity gain from a full 6 man group snadboxed with 5 level 1 characters people will most certainly abuse it and make money from it So it kinda going to defeat GGG's principle of Free to Play.

Its just going to be another exploited pay to win. Just like all the other games out there.

Still no response from GGG.
