I understand now why multiboxing is "excepted"

Multi boxing is a exploit and should be treated so with account bans.

Here is your simple reason, 1 person with 4 accounts lvls chars to appropriate level,
3 of these accounts are useless fodder, However the 1 account your main is deals dps. This would mean you will receive the multi player difficulty/reward for not playing multiplayer.

I lost so much respect when blizzard said this kind of crap is ok due to the sales in games they receive.

I hope GGG decides this is bannable, It's absolute garbage exploit.

The question in why, If it is difficult and your guys are "scattered" try to justify it is a ok way to play, I think someone has a hidden agenda.

TLDR, Multi-boxing is exploit, GGG plz ban them, Multi boxers and hackers are pathetic.

Anyone else scrool through here just to see how long it took for a grammar Nazi to pop up lol? I'm just picking with you Delmas; I saw this one too.

Well someone could either be a "grammar nazi" by correcting him once, or we could all let him go through life looking like a fool.

Well I decided to go see what it was really about and try it at running multi PoE games. And after trying it I really don't see how it can be called a hack and I understand why it IS excepted in games.

I think the easiest way to describe multiboxing (something I do and enjoy, although only with two accounts as anything more is crazy to control) is with a picture.
Some people seem to be under the impression multiboxers use something magical that automatically uses skills, drinks potions, moves out of danger and attacks for all the 'extra' characters. This is simply not true, we have to press every button and move each character to make things work. Sometimes this is achieved using software or hardware that 'broadcasts' one movement to all clients.



However the movement or key press still has to be done manually. Just like playing one charter at once except the interactions you have with the game just happen to line up across multiple characters (if you are lucky/good).

I don't understand that. If they're all synced and they're trying to move to the same spot, then they'll all follow the same path. The only time that might be a problem is if they're moving while there are multiple enemies on the field.

Have you even tried multi-clienting/boxing/whatever you want to call it? Its takes alot of effort to keep two active characters alive.

I guess its doable if you have one main active character and a bunch of low level toons that sit tightly at the entrance until everything is cleared, but I haven't tried that.

No, I haven't. But from your posts it doesn't seem like you have either.

This isn't true. Running 6 clients and putting 5 characters + your active one in an instance generates better drops. People then take these drops and flood the economy.

Its still one main and 5 useless characters.
