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

2013. Another F2P game. More ignorant people whining about something they fundamentally don't understand.

- MB doesn't effect you.
- MB isn't cheating, or exploiting.
- MB doesn't *require* 3rd party programs to be effective.
- The vast majority of online games in existence allows multi-boxing.
- MB doesn't hurt the economy anymore then a plethora of other factors, like game designs.
- MB has NEVER ruined a game.
- It is nearly impossible to ever make a change that will stop MBing from being more profitable.
- The majority of OPs claims of problems are a result of game design, not MBing.

By the way, individual players have been getting together to do what MBs have been doing since the beginning, and they do it significantly more efficiently then the MBs do. I wouldn't be surprised if they create more currency then the MBers.
Seriously people, its 2013. The ignorance is getting really old.

I feel that you are correct in what you are saying. A party of 6 humans working together should be able to farm more efficiently than a multi-boxer using even the best available software.

- It is nearly impossible to ever make a change that will stop MBing from being more profitable. -> make party drop same as solo but you gain more exp.

Its normal some botters and multiboxers would throw any argument ...

i dont think GGG said anything about multiboxing=cheating.

did they?


if people have good computer to run multiple accounts, that's not cheating.

if people have multiple computers to run accounts , that's not cheating.


if people use 3rd party program, that's cheating.

bot, cheating.


dont mix those together tho.

Explain to me how you multibox WITHOUT a 3rd party program?

All Hardware and Multiple pc's. If you wanna call shennanigans on 3 party progams, then start by removing all mouse and kb software then your OS. They are all 3rd party programs. Not exactly sure how to reinstall the game on a pc with no operating system but maybe youll have better luck than most :)



Anyone wishing to understand multiboxxing before coming and posting more utter nonsense go to www.dual-boxing.com and read.

Amazing post by Michaelangel007.

Instead of blaming the cheaters and their methods, we need to blame the game design and the players. That is by far the best, in-depth 'cheating excuse' analysis I've seen in ages.

So, theoretically, what game designers should do is give all of the "top tier items" to players upon purchase and implement God Mode once the player begins to play. Then you wouldn't have cheaters.

Or is it that the whole concept of farming, building characters, leveling, etc is what causes cheating? That means it's the game designers fault for making the game progressive.

No, wait. The reason cheaters are around is that after a given amount of time, every player wants to have all the best stuff and face roll content and move onto the next game. Cheaters are simply after market game designers who provide content destruction for a modest fee.

Ahhh, I get it now. The reason people play games is because they want to cheat and blow through the content in 24 or less hours. Thus feeling like they have truly wasted their effort on a "crappy game".

Well, let's all bow down to the cheaters then. They are the true game players. Game content or complexity is irrelevant. BUY ORBS NOW. YOU SUCK BAD ARMOR. ORBS FOR SALE! DISCOUNT!

No.

Multiboxers are not the droids you are looking for.

Botters are.

Some botters also multibox. This helps them bot faster. But the problem there isn't multiboxing -- it's botting.

Damn

Is multiboxing included with the game? No.
Does multiboxing give one player an advantage over other players? Yes.

multiboxing is cheating.
