Locking instances pvp threads

[MiRai]

Goodness, you so damn aggressive.

I cannot control how you read or interpret my posts, but I would say that it was written with little aggression.

The purpose of the post was to point out that his information was useful and deserves to be open for response. Which is exactly what the title implies.

But of course at the end of the day I am here to learn about multiboxing, which is why I am protesting the locked thread.

We are also here to multibox, using legitimate methods with realistic expectations.

Think if either Xeneres or DavidMage—both who are leading the Mythic+ 5-man progression in dungeons—were found out to be using rotation bots or some other bot/hack/exploit to gain an advantage not normally allowed, and that it was necessary for them to do that in order to achieve what they've currently achieved. What would that say about the information they've been providing all of this time? Should people still look upon that information as useful? Should people expect to achieve what they've achieved, even though they only achieved it through means of cheating, and those interested in their information are not willing to also cheat? It's hard to say exactly because it is just a hypothetical situation, but as MultiBear puts it, the thread is tainted, and as Wubsie explains, the information presented in the other thread just doesn't work for anyone not willing to also cheat.

I'll also add that it's another thing to practically brag on this site—one which has rules in place about abiding by the rules of the games which we multibox—about how you cheat the system, but "can't talk about," and then offer information and experience gained only by means of said cheating. It's insulting and misleading to everyone else who wants to play by the rules.

So, again, when we begin to allow that kind of talk on the forum, what does that say for the integrity of the site?

I, as well as others, agree that it negatively affects both the integrity of the site, as well as the fragile reputation that multiboxers have with the rest of the playerbase (and developers) in the games which we play. If someone wants to cheat, then that's their choice, but it's deceptive to present that style of gameplay to others as "safe," and I'll ask that they keep that information to themselves, and off of this forum.

However, if you wish to write up your own thread, similar to the other, but based upon your legitimate experience through the use of a multi-person mount in battlegrounds, then by all means, please do so, as many others will likely find that information to be much more useful.

Which is also why I added a question in at the end, I am here to learn from and help others.

Discussing multiple, unrelated topics in the same thread is usually referred to as de-railing the thread, and is generally frowned upon across any internet forum I've been on in the last decade. Multiple unrelated topics in the same thread make it very, very difficult to follow along with, especially when someone is trying to search for that information at a later time.
