60-Boxer on Emerald Dream

[Fat Tire]

as soon a retards start making 80+ alts and the boxing community doesn't call them out on the complete idiocy and lack of any skill

I knew 79 was the sweet spot

...and all this shit was answered 5 hours ago. I am sure Mirai can clean up my post and make it nice and pretty.

Why do you allow this Blizzard?

For the same reason we allow you to have multiple World of Warcraft licenses on your Battle.net account and to be registered to multiple Battle.net accounts. If we didn't then you could not create an account to be used by a minor child (that you are the parent or legal guardian of). You'd be restricted to having a single account, ever.

Multiboxing is not a supported playstyle, but it doesn't violate our policies.

Didn't you ban Swifty for a server crash?

Not exactly. That is the problem with this one, most people have very little understanding of the actual events that happened. The penalty you are referring to was done in error. After a more thorough investigation it was overturned.

Some people would say, "just ignore it", but how can I ignore an issue that is the result of constant server crashes? How is it that something like this is allowed in World of Warcraft?

Because that generally doesn't happen. While your connection may be impacted by having a lot of characters in an area, it rarely impacts server stability.

The only benefit that I see is that it fills up your wallets with money.

Another misconception. Yes, a multiboxer may pay more in game purchases and subscription fees than you do, but that doesn't necessarily translate into more revenue. Encounters with a multiboxer may have a negative impact on another players game experience, because going up against 5 characters as 1 can be frustrating. So in the end that multiboxer may have cost us a player, and that can happen at any time.

It is allowed because the activity doesn't violate policy, period.

I would suggest any blue go take a look at the Emerald Dream forums right now and see that our community is railing at the moment. Seriously, go take a look.

What posts are created on the forum isn't indicative of how the server itself is behaving. During those times there are certainly drops,I can see them, but the realm/zone/instance itself does not go offline. There are population drops, but those don't zero out either.

That is more indicative of the individual users systems and connections as the area remains online and populated.

Im curious how 1 person piloting 80 toons isnt considered botting?

Because unless they are using a different method outside the normal ones used by the majority of multiboxers, they are otherwise in direct control of the characters.

Based on this blue post, we should just all sit on our hands and do nothing about it.

No, I'm saying the activity that is often associated with multiboxers, is not considered to be a violation of our policies. From a CS point of view there is nothing that we'd be able to do.

If you believe they are somehow exploiting, or intentionally causing realm issues, using the right click report option or sending an email to hacks@blizzard.com with relevant information would be the course of action you'd want to take.

If this is a practice that you think should not be allowed or at least limited, you'll need to submit your feedback to our Development team. You can do that by posting in the General Discussion forum and/or submitting your suggestions via the in-game interface option.

Yeah the whole "They don't affect servers" is silly, considering Emerald Dream has been brought down a ton this week alone due to too many characters fighting in a single space.

To be clear, no, it hasn't. There was an issue yesterday with several realms, Emerald Dream included, but the realm itself outside of this week's maintenance has not had any other major incidences.

Lets be honest though, Blizz only cares about money; but yet they wonder why subs are so low.

That may be your honest opinion, Askari, but that is what it is, an opinion. While we absolutely value the opinion you may have, that doesn't make it accurate. It is unfortunate that those that voice such an opinion that we "only care about money" are rarely apt to change their mind, even with all evidence to the contrary.

As I heard one of our Developers say recently, it is our games that bring in the revenue but the revenue does not drive the decisions about our games.

I think this discussion has run its course.
