I understand now why multiboxing is "excepted"

Accept vs Except
These two English words are sometimes confused by native speakers. Please accept my invitation to learn the difference with this lesson.


Accept

Accept is a verb that means "to receive, admit, regard as true, say yes."

I can't accept this gift.

He was accepted to Harvard.

Do you accept this theory?

My offer was immediately accepted.

He asked me to marry him, and I accepted.

The noun acceptance refers to the "act or process of accepting, approval, or agreement."


Except

Except is a preposition that means "excluding."

He bought a gift for everyone except me.

I know everyone here except the children.

Except is also a conjunction that means "if not for the fact that" or "other than."

I would help you, except I'm too busy.

He never calls me except to borrow money.

Except is a fairly uncommon verb that means "to leave out, exclude."

I hate lawyers, present company excepted.

Children are excepted from these rules.

The noun exception means "exclusion" or "one that is excepted."


The Bottom Line

The confusion between accept and except is due to their somewhat similar spelling and pronunciation. In fact, it's rather strange that they do get confused, because the meaning of accept and the meaning of except when used as a verb are more or less opposites.

In the majority of situations, when you want to use a verb, that verb is accept. Except is rarely used as a verb, but when it is, it means "to leave out" not "to receive or agree to."

remove multiboxing from the game GGG

even blizzard allows it... and they forbid like everything.

You all realize that you don't even need a program like ISboxer to run multi games of PoE. You don't need any program at all.

Why I think multiboxing should not be allowed ?

1. Auras. You can have 10 auras without mana spending.
2. 4 characters using cold spells. Freeze all the time.
3. Totem & minion spam to distract mobs.
4. Curses.

No exploit my ass. No harm done to the economy my ass.
Think this as you are playing an a-rpg like playing Dragon Age.
Cmon it is so open to abuse.

There are differences between multiboxing and partying with some random guys.
Unless you have some very good friends who all build their characters for teamplay and support eachother which I doubt.

I don't see why GGG doesn't implement a /party6 command to scale the enemies to a party of 6 at the player's discretion.

This was in D2 single player, and seems like a no-brainer solution so players can just play without having to deal with multiple clients or multiboxing.

Me being one of these people that flame every "multiboxing is not fair" and "it's a hack" "it should not be allowed". 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. There is no hacking involved. There is no bot prog. Nothing is automated. It has very simple easy to use interface and very easy to set up. BUT I don't think it is viable for PoE. It is rather difficult to run multi PoE games and controlling all the characters. Your Characters end up scattered everywhere pointing in different directions. And to get them ALL to attack what your attacking seems impossible. And seems rather useless other than being able to have your own multiple characters in your party to just sit and do nothing while you take your main one to go kill and loot. Besides all that you need a rather powerful PC to even use it to be able to run multi games. I can barely run 2 games and it gets so fricking laggy and just not worth it for me.

Anyway. To get mad or to hate on people that do multi box is like getting mad at each individual person that plays the game. there really is no difference. Hating on one guy playing 4x the same game at once? Or hating on 4 individuals playing the same game?

It's not a big deal I've done it in the past before when I had multiple machines sitting around. I took both my kids rigs, my rig, my tv pc etc. Games like this if you can manage a couple toons at once hell go for it lol.

I think some people just get mad that they can not manage multiple characters at once when some people can pull it off, or just do not have the machine power to do it.

I have a friend that is a multiboxing freak. Whatever mmo he is playing he's multiboxing usually. I've watched him play lol it's not cheating at all. Just instead of needing friends or strangers he can do all that without them :)

You nailed it. very good point. they should implement a command like that. (for people like me that don't have the machine power to multi box ;)
