WoW Forums Mbox hate

[MiRai]

I didn't realize I was so late to this thread, but I'll just toss out a few replies to give my thoughts on the matter.

Blizz failed game design that came with 8.3 - Small zone to farm Zin'anthid - 10 druid emty notes - powerfull Alchemy ToT. Most people only goes to Nazjatar to farm so more farmers are put in same phase/shard = less resources for everyone.
Now some says that it´s the multiboxers fault the prices is low = End of exp. and everyone is unloading, working from home and the hunt for the Dino.

I do tend to agree with this stance since those who are creating the threads are overwhelmingly focused on Nazjatar and Zin'anthid, when there are zero complaints about any other herb or ore found throughout any BFA zones (even Osmenite, which is only found in Nazjatar). Every other resource that can be gathered in the outside world is readily available in high quantities for anyone to go out and gather for themselves.

Now, whether you can label the Nazjatar/Zin'anthid situation to be "failed" or not, is a different topic altogether.

It's funny the player base blames multiboxers. The AFK and Standstill farmers both claim it's blizzards fault they're grinding so hard to get the 5 million gold bruto mount.

As usual, the typical multiboxer gets caught in the middle. What I feel is important for people to remember is it's *always* been like this. People have always, and will always hate on multiboxers and not understand it.

IMHO Ultimately we the multiboxing community have to be the examples for others to make up for the bad actors. This is also how it's *always* been. If you've been around here long enough you'll know we've had to throw out some of these bad actors from the community. It's also important to remember while we are the multiboxing community, there is more than one multiboxing community. It's not just limited to this site. Or ISBoxer forums, or even DB discord and ISB discord. We are represented by them, and are representative of them in the same way. We have to lead by example.

I've dipped my toe in some stand still farming to see what the fuss is about. It's neat. It's boring as hell and I have no idea *why* people would spend hours and hours doing it, but that's not for me to understand.

I still feel strongly that people multiboxing 20+ accounts to standstill farms are doing more harm than good to the overall community. They're the ones disrupting zones by tagging all the mobs or making it impossible to quest, or running around killing everyone in sight in world PvP. If you're out there running your own 2x4 team more power to you. But if you're having to fight someone running two, three, or four times the number of toons it's just silly. It comes down to greed and narcissism. As much fun as it is to watch 20 toons destroy people coming in one at a time to run a dungeon I remember what it's like to be the solo character and it sucks.

Amen, brother.

I hope blizzard doesn't restrict multiboxing, but I feel like they might try to do something to prevent the massive multiboxers from playing.

Maybe something along the lines of restricting /follow and/or /assist to one battlenet, or a cap on the number of toons following/assisting another.

If they remove follow and assist altogether, that totally kills boxing for me.

I don't want to sound as if I have the answer, or as if my ideas are easy to implement, but it'd be great if Blizzard changed BNet accounts to hold up to 10 non-PTR/beta WoW licenses, and then they could potentially apply some restrictions around that limitation. The reason I would like 10 is because there will always be a group of multiboxers who will want to challenge themselves by raiding, and 10 is obviously the minimum number required to do that.

However, such a change would be Blizzard showing some level of support for multiboxing, and if they were to go with the choice of restricting follow and/or assist, two base functions of the game, to only an account-wide function, that would restrict normal, everyday players from using it. So, I don't see them moving in that direction.

On the other hand, I could get behind the idea of a limit to the number of players that can follow you, but they might need to do some further math behind the scenes to calculate the total number of players being followed in a "connected mesh" of sorts and limiting it that way. Otherwise, mass-multiboxers could just create follow trains to stay under the total cap.

Seems to me one possible solution is to have MB friendly realms akin to RP realms. Then everyone can enjoy their play style.

At this point, it's probably too far ingrained into Retail to begin specifying server types or restrictions (unless they're providing some free transfers and other services to make the move), but I was hoping that Blizzard would designate some of the upcoming TBC/Wrath re-release expansion realms to be either boxing-friendly or not, so that we don't see the same situation that we see on Classic.

However, unless they simply disable follow and/or assist on those realms, the need to police multiboxing would create additional work for Blizzard.

Hey guys been boxing since Burning Crusade and while we all deal with the hate on an almost daily basis towards Multiboxing...
What the fudge has been going on with the official WoW forums the last 3 months?

Seem's every day several threads with a pitchforked mob demanding our playstyle be removed from game, what's with this surge in hate?
Some seem to confuse boxing and botting but there is definitely a large surge towards Boxing specifically.

I realise you cannot educate certain people, hate is gonna hate however I don't get this uptake in hate? What's changed?

The hypocrisy the recent banning of a boosting service reported 40 billion gold traded during BFA alone and now that 40 billion removed from the economy and the same people crying about multiboxing ruining the economy are the ones spunking all their gold on paid boosts and yet claiming Multiboxers ruin the game..

Been "Reported" in /s yesterday over 10+ times.... What's with these idiots?

Finally, I have to ask... Is this you on Twitch?

[twitch.tv/Tiny__D] LIVE: World's best multiboxer, better than you poor solo players!
[twitch.tv/Tiny__D] LIVE: Multiboxing champion, solo players sux!
[twitch.tv/Tiny__D] LIVE: Multiboxing champion, crushing dweebs dreams.
[twitch.tv/Tiny__D] LIVE: Multibox King, breaking solo players hearts all over the World of Warcraft.

If so, I have to wonder why you're confused as to how we're in this current situation, or even why the hate against multiboxers continues to grow?
