Like I said in my previous post they realize the people who threaten to quit because of multiboxers VS the number of people multiboxing is vast. They just let the whiners quit because they know it's 1 sub loss instead of 5 or more.
As for integrity... Uhhh what company has integrity when it comes to money? Do I think Blizz is a good company- yes! Do I think they have integrity when it means a money loss- HELL NO! lol
As someone who has been boxing for a long time (into my 4th year now), I wouldn't read too much in Zarhym's comments. Blizzard have been 'tolerating' multiboxing for years, his isn't the first time there has been a scare that Blizzard might ban multiboxing, and I doubt it will be the last.
The other thing to remember is Zarhym is a community manager, not a game designer. If Ghostcrawler came out and said he was against boxing, then I'd be concerned. ;)
The sky is NOT falling. For now. :p

Whats preparded doing thats so bad .... he brings in 20 to a AV and controls a single choke point.
His team loses as he can he can only be one place at a time.
And the other team qqs cause they have to win by turtle .....
I mean people win and they qq
lol ...
Oh that dude was community manager well doh .... ya who cares what he say, his job is to say whatever the community wants to hear.
I'm not as long around as most of you, and it seems like i've seen this discussion over and over already. There are tmho 2 main factors that might *kill* boxing:
A] the boxers themselves: i.e. how they behave (if everyone is gonna act elitist, like a jerk -> waisting other people their game, playing just to pwn by outnumbering others, ... etc). The irony here is that the most visible boxers to the non boxers are in fact the aforementioned.
B] The tools becoming insanely powerful. When i see in the short timeframe i box how certain tools/addons/setups have been improved, then i'm afraid at some point they might become too powerful. And blizz will take a stance against it. This while it's legit, but it might change the perception.
yes, you haven't locked the thread yet.... i win
There will never be a point where we are more powerfull then the same gear/number of seperatly played characters. And I dont really see where wow macros are all that, in EQ we could put in time delays and that was a BIG BIG plus that we don't have here. We could cast FIVE spells with a single click in EQ.
I mean level 80's have been killing me since day one.
When a level 80 kills 30 of my guys when they were level 40 did I qq about it? I even play on a pvp server for more action.
People have sometimes shut down my play time. LoL on SZ I got hammered for years .....
When I can plug a cat5 cable into my head and launch Innerspace and use MindMaps instead of KeyMaps.
Well then.... maybe.
MWUAHAHAHAHAHA.
You have to understand, the people who are making the argument in those threads are very big on morality and ethics and what is "just" and "fair." For them, a company going after profits is not something to be expected, it is a sign that a company is evil and just a greedy corporate monster that swallows babies whole. The basis of their argument against multiboxing is that it is "wrong" (ie, EVIL) and that Blizzard is wrong (ie, EVIL) for allowing it, because the only reason to allow something that is wrong (ie... you get the picture) is because you get more money, and that is... EVIL.Quote:

None of those moral crusaders has managed to answer that question, or even attempted it.
Mind you, this is not the same as the people who complain that "BLIZZARD IS RUINING THE GAME JUST TO MAKE A DOLLAR." That's a wholly illogical stance, and it amazes me that people repeat it. But I have noticed that most of the time, moral indignation is an impulse and not based on any sort of reason or logic. So I just shrug my shoulders and let it go.
I'm with you on point A for sure. I've seen some people on these forums bragging about how they made someone upset or talking about being nourished by all the "QQ" they cause - it just makes me think that person is an infant, not a badass.Quote:
