Good stuff! Thank you for that Mirai!
Currently 5 Boxing 5 Protection Paladins on Whisperwind Alliance
The Power of Five!!! ( short video )
I didnt watch, but I am guessing I would agree with the mirai opinion. Did the video touch on this websites obvious bias against him? I mean he is still ip banned on this site right? Does he use isboxer? hmmm
I'd like to make it clear that it's 40-60 accounts, not 100+. I'm going to edit the title of this thread to be less misleading.
Interesting.
The video makes no claims, and mentions no names. It only asks that "if the multiboxing playstyle is under review due to a few disruptive, large-scale multiboxers, that any changes made to it, not adversely affect the small-scale multiboxing playstyle," as well as states, "toxic players and their toxicity should be dealt with on a per-player basis."
Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

I watched pepard last night and he was not killing ever player he see. He was not making the server lag using toys etc. This seems part of an ongoing "guild" wars where they used to hop onto dark spire so he says he took the war there.
And his playing 60 accounts. Just sounds like outland drama to me (EU). Or though the player that's been saying we lag the server has been banned 2 times in the last month
I was 5-boxing earlier in Tanaan jungle when I was attacked by a single alliance toon who I quickly destroyed, like duh I had 5. About 20 minutes later I hearth to Warspear and I see in the chat channel some sort of chat bot saying "Report [Shame][Branched][Schreech][Bently][Beaute] for botting." and being sent over and over again. Sometimes it said "for botting" but that part of the chat changed.
They are using bots to try to stop boxers. I didn't say anything, there were already half a dozen people getting annoyed with him and "reporting for reporting" comments.
JohnGabriel exaxtly this kind of msg, i bet ur names were colered aswell, are not real. It's a joke be cause some people have found a code to type in chat that will make ur name appear. So when others saw that msg their very own name was listed. I saw one do it with free gold, and whole tradechat kind of went crazy. So there is nothing to be afraid of in youre case
And yes it does list even multiboxed chars.

It most likely will affect all of us in a very adverse way. Just knowing how these kind of things squeak their way through the corporate domain doesn't give me a lot of hope.
It will take development time to accommodate what should be done.
Ex: Allow one bnet account more wow accounts and then limit things like follow to bnet account only, then restrictions based on number of logged in sessions.
2 - no restrictions and officially supported.
3 - bg restriction
5 - pvp restriction
10+ phasing restriction.
That takes development effort though. I hope that they consider this but again, the cost to do it might outweigh the benefit of doing it.
I could very easily see this decision to ban all multiboxers coming down from the executive level from someone who has never played the game let alone explored the playstyle.

The world of warcraft's game director - Tom Chilton aka Kalgan has publicly said he mutiboxes.
As for the restrictions I would be ok with them

Ah, I didn't know that. So he probably dwells here from time to time.
That's cool. Yeah I think the mechanisms are needed. Mine come from having been involved in multiboxing since very early EQ ( via MQ ). I think the heart of multiboxing is in fact dual boxing. I like the complexity though I don't care if others want to box 40. The question is why as I view world PvP as an arms race. A huge waste of time and money on both sides of the argument. It just boils down to who has more and focus firing your way to victory. It reinforces the idea of having 40+ for what amounts to empty bragging rights.
The real multiboxer game is in arenas, challenge modes, etc. Doing something people would usually think impossible.
So it stands to reason someone can 10 man a rated BG but only if they occupy all 10 slots which prohibits them from queuing into randoms with a 5 or 10 man party. The same goes for LFD and LFR.
Phasing out 10+ permanently would also go a long way to removing the target from our backs, reduce the impulse purchase ( aka arms race ) and generally make both sides happier and probably healthier.
Mind this is all just me saying I prefer dual boxing and think that 40+ boxing boils down to something that isn't the true spirit of the playstyle.
Well, don't forget that this "arms race" of whiners was going on well before multiboxing was a thing; we're just the equivalent of drag queens at the Marine Corps Ball, politically.
Ah, but "spirit of the playstyle" has no fixed meaning, never has, and never will. Ditto with PvP. Ganking lowbies isn't in the spirit of the playstyle if you're the lowbie but if you're an archetypical nub-pwner, It's Fine L2P. The arms race IS the entire raison d'etre of PvP; it's why there isn't a checkers MMO.
