Some seem to confuse boxing and botting

imho because the difference between "standstill farming" and "afk farming" is 1 autofire macro and both look the exact same to anyone else looking at it.

Hell, even Standstill and AFK are used by players and multiboxers alike as interchangable terms. They are not.

Agreed.
Big part of those misconceptions is that afk-like farming that boxers are doing - a large portion of it actually streaming it to the world too which does not help at all.

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.

That's not the issue.

The concept of "always increasing numbers", be it itemization, currency or character abilities is a core issue of modern MMOGs and leads to an endless spiral of inflation of the own systems.

Combine that with the ultimate farming reward to extend your subscription for free by playing the game is just plain stupid and leads to the current situation.

There are now 3+ hate threads on the first page in the General Discussion Forum EU.
It's always about herbalism/gathering and instanced pvp.


If this continues I think we will see some new restrictions for multiboxing or something even worse....
