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

A lot of big QQ in this thread.

The loot system is random but the multiboxers are not, can atleast do something about them first. and maybe the randomness might not seem so bad anymore. but hey..screw that, lets just keep adding fancy helmets and weapon glows because everyone knows that fixes games, right GGG?
This game will end up like Global Agenda, no fixes but keep adding helmet flares and soak up as much money before they close it. |

Good post OP, and thanks for theses screenshots, 500+ orbs of chaos in one tab, wow... I didn't know how unbalanced multiboxing could be.
I have a ranger 60 and a summoner 80, i dropped a total of 2 exalted and ~20Chaos, i thought i was lucky. As long as GGG does nothing about that, i'll just consider that the economy in poe is dead and i will not bother to open trade chat anymore... |

" Now that's some multi-boxing that I'd love to get into ;) |

Agreed and for others; a quick TLDR:
TLDR: Multiboxing Fucks the economy and the "common" player by causing multiboxers to get rich and therefore drive up the price of items making it nearly impossible for legit players to afford them. Last edited by ShihTzu#4255 on Mar 28, 2013, 2:18:39 PM

They already nerfed multiboxing by removing the low level chaos recipe, and finally put the hammer in the coffin with the party loot change.
Unless there's some golden method of multibox farming I'm unaware of, all you can do is actually level 6 chars up, gear them up, and farm docks or whatever as a group. From my own experience with mutliboxing I can tell you: this doesn't work well. PoE is not a multibox friendly game, mainly due to collision between characters. The clump of characters won't stay in sync, so your copied mouse input won't register properly on all clients. There's no follow feature either, so there's no way to keep your party together in a map. Also, multiboxing is a good thing. It gives solo players the chance to earn the currency they need to Map by themselves, while party players only have to spend 1/6th for the same amount of exp. |

" Are there botting programs? A botting program could easily group up 6 characters and keep 'em together. It's been done with WOW for years. |

They give patches that nerf multiboxers and screw normal players just as well. the whole 1 screen loot thing is just utter bullsh*t. im sorry but what moron thought that was a good idea to implement? it effects me because im a LA ranger and kill things off screen. i get punished because of a "fix" to multiboxers.

" You stated your opinion as a fact therefore you have to prove it, not me.You have been proven wrong and lets leave it at that.You can't get en exalted a hour.Period.And you could EASILY prove by just live streaming your '' 1 exalted per hour '' gameplay. And that chest is nice but that's it.Do you really think its worth 35 exalted?Sorry to break it to you but you have been ripped off :) Plust that wand is vendor trash. I vendor wands like that every day or so. Last edited by Batuhan87#6932 on Mar 28, 2013, 3:47:36 PM

" You haven't proven anything wrong? And I'm a bit confused, you've been playing for quite a while, but don't realize that 1 exalted an hour actually is very easy to accomplish? 2+ an hr would be very difficult and require multiboxing with a great iiq set. Regarding your last little quote.. Where does he say 35 exalted, I'd say the chest is worth at least 15+? I never saw that '35' though.. And if you vendor wands like that you're more retarded than I initially thought.. That wand is worth at the bottom line 2 exalted. IGN: Neckroemansir
