Multiboxing on Lordaeron | Yes or no?

[wezcc]

I would just like to state devastating facts...
1) Multiboxing was allowed ever since it was programmed back in BC
2) This is a supposedly Blizz-like realm??? Multiboxing is allowed on retail????
3) The fight between the community and Multiboxers has been going on since BC, what a dumbass idea to bring it over and discuss it in here.
4) Why wouldn't it be allowed in the first place? it's the same thing on the other realms...

1.Donation thats how they are funding it not just Lordaeron.

2.There will be in the near future.

3.and you can't do the same with the same number of players???

4.ofc its a waste,why would you want to level and gear up 25 characters one by one,even if you play on your main account all the other 24 acoounts would of been a waste.

And your were addressing that multiboxers lag the server i've given you a question you didn't answer to that,tell me how is it different a multiboxer multiboxing 25 toons and an individual 25 players raiding orgrimmar or stormwind, would they not casue the same problem?\

1. OMG DON't YOU GET IT! *Deep breath*. They are donating on the other realms, not on Lord! So multiboxing ON LORD is not funding Warmane one bit.
2. This isn't the future though...and I REALLY doubt any Mboxer will want to full donate all there toons (even donate for one piece on each toon) when the prices for one item are going to be heavily more costly than on the other realms.
3. You can, but you have to find the players first, a Mboxer doesn't have to go find anyone... Also if I see a Mboxer looking at me whilst we are levelling, I highly doubt he will let me quickly ask around for an even amount of players to compete him, no he will just get all toons to cast LB, Frostbolt w/e class and abilty and one shot my ***.
4. If you don't want to level up 25 chars one by one then that's your problem, not ours /shrug.

I honestly cannot give an answer to that. It could be coincidental lag spikes on my internet's end, but when I played Nelth and was in SW, whenever a Fatality raid came into SW (which usually comprised or 30 minimum players) I could stand in the heart of their group and experience no lag at all, when that Phoenixone/two/three guy came in with his 25 shamans, mine and everyone else around me (they all complained on /s) would suddenly lag.
Like I said, might have nothing to do with it, but it's my experience. But at least you tried to cling on to your last potential point eh? Well done ;)

1. because blizz got more money for every account paying a sub, Warmane doesn't.
2.This is a blizz-like realm. ("Alike adjective having resemblance or similarity; having or showing no marked or important difference"
How "alike to Blizzard" and where it won't be "alike to Blizzard" is, in the last instance, up to the Administration and the Staff. -Obnoxious)
4.Other realms get income from Mboxers who are too lazy to gear and level all their toons and just buy gear and buy max levels. You can't do that on Lord

Of course, more than half of the players hate Multiboxing.
For me, at all times, Warmane/Molten - It was ideal, with unchanged policies about Multiboxing. True Blizzlike

I've said it previously, this isn't a historic nor retrospective discussion on multiboxing for the entire server; this is a discussion on assessing the current impact on Lordaeron which is not only a hardcore x1 realm but also something of a pet project with the management. Focus on the here and now. A discussion on any relevant topic within any community can never be a "dumbass idea" especially since we're being invited to voice our opinions on the direction of this project. Blizzlike doesn't mean blizzclone and to be honest the changes the team have made so far, regardless of how they've been received, have borne out to be good decisions so frankly, I'm going to continue multiboxing until it's either disallowed or ratified. Also I noted I don't actually know what your opinion on this topic is, since all you offered were "facts".

Now, at Lardaeron. Multibox does not any affect the other players

1 Person that can one shot any of us...more people forced in a queue because one person is taking up 5+ spots....no you're right that isn't an affect on anyone is it....

I have been multiboxing on molten/warmane since one month after molten opened their servers, which i am very thankful for (seriously).
Creating and lvling all my teams was a really though job and eventually it paid off for me(meaning i don't get owned by a single warrior doing bladestorm anymore). On wotlk it took me over a year to be finally a bit competitive.

I've got over 30 PREMIUM accounts on which i donated multiple times over the years so in my opinion we multiboxers do great monetary contribution.
If someone can overcome the big challenge to lvl a team to max level on a 1x rates server and gear them up to be competitive then i think that person has earned his power.

There's no balance issue in battlegrounds as it's always fixed amounts of people fighting eachother.
Only in world pvp the multiboxers do have a perk, thats true. But multiboxers can also make world pvp more interesting and create challenges where there would be none. Also there's little to no profit to get from doing world PvP so i would say it doesn't really matter.

In summary:

+++Multiboxers often contribute a lot of real world money to keep the servers up.
+++Multiboxers are fascinating to look at when they work coordinated, spamming spells & moving in formation.
+++Multiboxers create challenges where there would otherwise be none.
+++Doing world pvp alongside multiboxers is great fun. :)
++Multiboxers doing PvE/raids will sell their BoE on the AH thus lowering prices for everyone making it easier for casual or even regular players to gear up.
++Regulars players can gank/farm multiboxers for many many months before they finally get to max lvl and geared up.
++Little effect to BG's as it's fixed numbers of characters fighting eachother.
+If you don't wish to interact with a multiboxer you can just turn off PvP or move places.
+Multiboxers contribute to the economy by providing many cooldown based professions thus dropping prices of certain materials for everyone.

- - -If you meet an equally geared multiboxer in world pvp you will need to bring an equal amount of people to beat him. (but thats normal, who can solo 5 characters at once?)

Also polls like this make it way too easy to deny people things, i really hope it doesn't come to a ban of multiboxers on ragnaros. :(

Hell no !!! Multiboxing is the cancer of wow and it will ruin Lordaeron if you allow it at all !!!!!!

Untrue, especially in your case. Leave alone the PvP and character login queue arguments, you're boxing 5x5 man parties. Which means you'll need to kill the same boss 5 times for 1 quest. Which leaves everyone else hunting that boss out in the dark for nearly an hour factoring in respawn times. That's certainly an effect and a detrimental one at that.

There is no que, the server cap is 6000 players, there's "only" 3800 people online. Please stop making stuff up.

1. OMG DON't YOU GET IT! *Deep breath*. They are donating on the other realms, not on Lord! So multiboxing ON LORD is not funding Warmane one bit.

If you donate money to warmane (to get coins where you can choose to spend them) you are actually funding warmane. Your logic doesn't make sense, if i donated to warmane then i'm funding warmane ... it's just a different word you used. Again, please stop making stuff up.

/sigh This feels repetitive...
+++Yes they do, no one is denying it it. But on LORDAERON, multiboxers are currently contributing no money.
+++They are cancerous to look at...they make a line of characters that then stand inside each other when the main toon stops moving.
+++They create problems, and the best multiboxer's can't be beaten by an equal size raid of pugs. It would require good co-ordination of a raid group, something that is only seen in guilds.
+++Doing World PvP along side multiboxers means you stand there and watch them all cast the same ability this oneshotting their target before you can even charge.
+++...Or they will just equip that item if it's an upgrade...otherwise they are jsut doing what any other raid would do and therefore are not giving any special benefit that is unique to multiboxers.
+++See's Multiboxer, Charges, 5+ Lightning bolts hit your face...easy to surive and kill all 5+ of the characters...
+++Causes imbalance to a bg.
+++It's a PvP realm.
+++Or raises prices and eventually monopolizes the AH causing prices to flood at their pleasure.

We are not in peak times, yesterday there was queues, I was caught in them. Eventually they did raise the server cap to 5.5k then 6k and that was enough to kill the queues.

Omg I swear you are trolling now, if you donate to Warmane to buy items for your Multiboxers it won't be for your multiboxers on Lordaeron...why? because you can't spend coins on Lord toons yet. So if you was to donate to get items it would have to be for your toons on another realm not lord. Do you get it now?

[INVERZER]

1)how do you know the multiboxers in warmane haven't spend as much as they would on retail??
2)if its not they way the game was meant to play why does blizzard allow it??/
3)Then why do you hate them so much
4)OFC they would because 80% of the players doesn't multibox

then you agree that only multiboxers posting garbage posts about how multiboxing is allright :D :D :D :D :D
