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

Those balance changes were against multi loaders, not multi boxers.

The second does not exist without the first, the first is the most basic form of the second that's possible, in terms of exploitation. You are being incredibly naive if you think multiboxing can't be efficient, it is also regularly and closely linked to botting.

You will never see a man faking anger, passion and relentless behavior.

You will always see a man faking love, politeness and respectful behavior.
I actually feel bad for people who multi-box legitimately, in the sense of just wanting a more complex or challenging experience. They're getting screwed any way you look at it.

Multi-boxing for a challenge, is like tossing a child to see how far the child can go.

It's funny when one of the big developers of "botting" programs for a lot of popular games says that they won't design a bot for this game because no one will use them do to inefficiency compared to multi-boxing. PEOPLE WON'T EVEN RUN BOTS BECAUSE MULTI-BOXING IS VASTLY SUPERIOR, EVEN IF THEY ONLY PLAY 4 HOURS A DAY.....nah there's no problem here.....lol.....lol.....

Flab, I know you're a pretty smart guy. Multi loading was simply loading an instance with alts. Done

Multiboxing, is completely different. Think of it like this, have you personally ever even SEEN a video of someone doing it efficiently? I've looked at several boards that deal with this topic, and have yet to see ANYONE showing it working. You would have to have them all incredibly geared, since any dog would instantly take them out.

They would have to follow PERFECTLY, which I have yet to see. Not only that, if they collide, their alignment is completely screwed. You really wouldn't want them killing anything, unless you had them ALL with amazing MF

The technical hurdles I have yet to see overcome, since at any point if one dies, there goes 50%. This OBVIOUSLY isn't viable in maps. Further, anytime one does die, do they take the time to revive them and get them back in formation? If so, this again slows you down. Constantly being slowed down is a bad thing. Remember this is all about efficiency.

I would be willing to pay an exalt to anyone who shows me a multiboxing setup working efficiently. Multiloaders need not apply.

Want to know how I know all of this is a bunch of bull? I multiloaded for several months in CB. NEVER did I accumulate anywhere near e amount of currency that is flowing thru default now. I bought the most expensive item in CB for 150 GCP. I had to sell EVERYTHING I had accumulated. EVERYTHING. This total came from me selling maps, an erqi, AMAZING 6Ls ( lucky as fusings), all my gg witch gear, quality gems, everything. All netted me 25 exalts. This was everything from however long from that ladder starting to OB pretty much.

Considering items are selling for around 2x that amount, sometimes easily. Multiboxing is not the sole cause. Not even close. I know what orb drops are like. It's not much better. My wealth came from the alch and regal recipe mainly btw.

I don't know... I have seen your older posts in a lot of threads that involved poor drop rates, people comparing drop rates, and you ranting on about how they were lying because your drop rates weren't that great...

You might have the sour end of the RNG -- even with multi-loading, mate. And besides, you know that multi-boxing =/= multi-loading, so why are you using multi-loading for your argument, when we are talking about the dreadful multi-boxing? Maybe if you multi-boxed for a half as much as you multi-loaded, you wouldn't be so angry at RNG?

I would love to see these threads. In all honesty, I have no idea what you're referring to. I honestly can't think of anything.

To your point, the benefit of multi boxing and multiloading are the same. The IIQ increase. So, considering the bonus is still the same, the end result is/was greater for multi loading. No alts dying, at least none that mattered, park them in the beginnong of map, and face roll.

Edit. I'll pay you a couple alchs per post if you can either find.em, or.tell.me at least what they were referring to. I have been adament about.not increasing drop rates ( for orbs) for as long as I can remember. So, if I had bad drop rates, why would.I say this? So far, I've found 10 ex since OB, and 1 divine lol I've lost.track.of.gcps etc

When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
