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

" Lyrical wrote: 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.	Posted by ShihTzu#4255 on Mar 28, 2013, 2:24:23 PM Quote this Post
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.

I vendor wands like that every day or so. 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.

im not really bothered by trading in this game,but when i see a selling thread where seller claims to have an offer of 60 exalted orbs it leaves a sour taste in my mouth on the other hand even if i had enough exalts to buy f.e. kaoms or lyoneye bow i know i wouldnt simply because its a fucking game i wont be playing in half a year,so i dont give a shit anymore but i certainly wish cancer to all people destroying the game for those who still care some of my IGNs: EKDDtemplar/DualTotemSparkfotm/jesusbestjewever/EverhardDick/SilSol/SilSol_eight/SilSol_seven/ SilSol_ten/FiretemplarwithAA/JesusFacebreaker/SilSol_three/SilSol_two/grumpycatbestgodever	Posted by Dashtun#5272 on Mar 28, 2013, 6:49:30 PM Quote this Post

How can multiboxing still be affecting the economy to such an extent? Help me understand why the rapid influx of alteration orbs is so devastating.	Posted by poltus#5374 on Mar 29, 2013, 3:53:37 PM Quote this Post

What happens when you have inflation in any currency? Stuff starts to Cost more, and you can buy less with what you already have. Multi-Client users are just farming currency / leveling up characters on a faster pace than a normal user would. Thus they have the potential to gain more currency. More currency means things are easier to buy. This inflates the economy because now people start to ask for more, for the same item. Because people can afford to pay more, for the time being. I think they need to patch the client ASAP to stop the built in multi-client. Then start banning anyone who uses multi-clienting thereafter. Why they have a built in multi-client is beyond me. This is just bad design. "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."	Posted by Hixxie#2252 on Mar 29, 2013, 5:00:16 PM Quote this Post
