The Multi-box Thread: How it ruins the game.

But because multiboxing is allowed there are more doing that than botters or dupers. in fact i welcome dupers who dupe 5-6l items and flood the market with them, better off that way so the insane prices of items go down.

Tho thats wishfull thinking i guess. probs duping orbs too...

if I could dupe I would only dupe orbs... for storage reasons only...

Prices are high because of botter boards.

NOT multi-boxing, which many/most people seem to CONSTANTLY confuse with multi-loading. They are not the same thing.

EDIT: But here's the thing, what do you consider high. MANY great items can be had for dirt cheap. If you want the best of the best, be prepared to pay out the ass.

Problem is with the market system there are not enough items and too many orbs so only multiboxers with orbs stashed away and 6L items on trade for major orbs dont really care for your orbs because to them your petty 10 exalted are nothing, so he wants 25 exalted for the item because we all know 6L items are just too damd rare and honest grinders who are lvl 50+ will be still in crappy low end gear because they cant find an upgrade and cant trade because they dont have the orbs, no orbs you cant craft and try get a good item. ur screwed.

Multiboxers win. :<

EDIT: why back in closed beta was i rich with a few chaos orbs? i had like 10 chaos orbs and i could buy anything. i had great gear and i facerolled end maps. now i bearly get 1 chaos orb a day, terrible drops time and time again and in the end im left with 5 hours of my day wasted for nothing. something has changed for the worse. im thinking open beta multiboxers in swarms and loot drop nerfs. (including recipy nerfs)

So you equate a 6L item to something a lvl 50 character needs?

Ive got 2 lvl 85+ and no 6L and I do just fine. You don't need the best gear to do well. Hell, you don't even need to have the top 25% of gear to do well.

Btw, excess orbs in economy means orbs are cheap. When orbs are cheap, its cheaper to craft.

I use a 5L chest item on my ranger thats like..

Im lvl 73 ffs...i cant upgrade because in all my time playing i have not found a single fucking 5 link item..not even white! so i cant try crafting ether. sad day.

Edit: yeh the multiboxers have allot of orbs but they dont use them..they store them and dont do anythign with them causing inflation issues. pretty sure black friday was the same thing? if i remember correctly it was about some guys buying up all the gold and forcing the price to skyrocket because it was so rare and they had all the gold and never used it.

I don't consider the 5-Link 500 ES 14% duo res chest pieces that I look for to be the best of the best. but I do consider the 10-15 Exalts people throw at them to be paying out the ass.

And I can't beat those kinds of offers. I can't even match.

With new patch multiboxing on PoE is dead.

So,

No Multiboxing = Less hight currency and Less item

Less Currency and Less item = Price go up


U cry because hight currency and item its too expensive because multiboxing is dead ???


Oh last think, i farm 100 - 150 chaos every day. I can buy all gear and currency what i want easy. Its problem for u too if i loot so many currency ?

See, your problem is right there and has nothing to do with multiboxers. If it takes you 5 hours to farm a chaos orb equivalent of drops then you HAVE to revise your farming strategy.

May I humbly suggest that you try dock runs? Each one should take you less then 6 minutes (otherwise you have to reconsider your build and/or how you itemize your toon). Each run should yield the equivalent of at least one chaos orb. If this is not the case, you have to adjust your IIQ. I am currently able to complete a dock run in less then 4 minutes, each run yields much more than one chaos orb on average and there is not multiboxing/ceating/hacking involved whatsoever. It takes me about a weekend to farm enough stuff to pay for a 6L.

On a side note: I am not sure that multi boxing would be able to improve my farming rate - it would probably slow me down to the extent that it is not even worth it.

LOL?

A Chaos Orb equivalent from every Docks run?

You need to stop taking your amazing luck for granted. I ASSURE you it is not normal. An average person gets perhaps an Alchemy or a Fuse every 2-3 runs, and a Chaos Orb maybe once every 10 runs. Regals maybe once every 30.

GCP's, Divines, or Exalts? Forget about it.

This I actually... I'm stumped. I'm speechless.

Please enlighten us how you think you make 100-150 Chaos every day.

Is this the part where you tell me a few Exalts drop for you every day, and you always end up finding big-time uniques? And, of course, you assume this is every person's luck as well?









Seriously, the thing I hate the most about RNG is the people blessed with the good end of it but take it for granted. "WHAT ARE YOU, A NOOB? LOL, JUST GO KILL A FEW WHITE SKELETONS, AT LEAST 1 IN EVERY 5 DROPS A GCP!"

It has nothing to do with luck, I do that on a consistent and regular basis. If I farm for an hour, I will have the equivalent of an exalted. If you take longer than 6 minutes for a docks run then you have to work on your build/itemization. If you get significantly less than one chaos each run, then you have to increase your item quantity (item quality is also nice but not that important). It is really that simple.

Just some pointers to make your life easier: in docks you mainly need fire resistance, other elemental resistances are not really important, chaos can be ignored alltogether. This gives you plenty of room for optmizations. Dual totem helps a lot, since you can loot while your totems do the job. I use run speed increase potions all the time and I have the layout of the docks memorized so that I can tell immediately when to turn back and when to continue in a given direction.

Just to make sure that this is absolutely clear: no luck involved, I do that on a regular and constant basis, every day, every hour.
