That's true, but most multi-boxers who are part of this community and who view mb as a hobby would be very much the exception and have no problem dropping money into games they are enjoying.

I was thinking that Trion would be concerned more 'normal' people might be tempted to roll 5 accounts rather then 1 given there is no monetary barrier to starting the game.

'Normal' people don't do that. Same as in any other F2P MMO.

Exactly. The vast majority of players would never even consider multiple accounts other than for adding more character slots or having a bank/auction mule.

Ok, you've sold me. So wth are Trion worried about then :/

It's not the amount of new multiboxers that people were complaining about. It's all the new F2P players who are complaining about existing multiboxers. All these new players have never seen a multiboxer before, so it leads to a lot more complaining than before.

That, and the fact that the new Rift lead ("Daglar") personally hates multiboxers. He was just looking for an excuse to prevent multiboxers from playing.
