    No matter the topic, someone will find a way to redirect it to complain about their current aggro.

    If you actually tried to make friends, you wouldn't need to engage in activities that put you in a hated niche of the community?

    the only part where I believe it should be banned from is PvP.

    EDIT: btw I do not do multiboxing or ever did. just an opinion without taking sides

    Say what you will about the 'economy' but the multi-boxers I've encountered have generally kept to themselves. Hell, one of the nicest people I've ever met in WoW was a guy who multiboxed four moonkins, he just quests and farms mounts/pets.

    I understand the frustration with it - especially if you're a PvPr or someone who takes the AH stuff seriously. But multiboxers have never adversely affected my experience in the game, while plenty of people with a single character/account have.

    Precisely.
    The problem with multiboxers is that they have the ability to lag the servers at will. The biggest offense to this that I have experienced was in WoD when a multiboxer camped the quest hub in Tanaan Jungle for an entire evening, making it literally impossible to do anything there. When the multiboxer has enough accounts the servers lag to the point where you can get disconnected from being around them. I've had a few other run ins with this since then as well. From my anecdotal experience nearly every single multiboxer I've run into knows they have an advantage over the average player and abuses the absolute shit out of it.

    It has a huge difference because there is a huge difference in the efficiency of farming with a group vs 1 multiboxer. Getting a group together for that requires coordination, while all a multiboxer has to do is log in. Also, with personal loot the larger multiboxers who have 20+ accounts can get ridiculous amounts of farm done compared to the average player.

    It is the definition of unfair and the only reason it isn't outright banned like botting is because it gets blizzard money.

    I was on Vashj at the time, but this may have been after CRZ was enabled in Tanaan? My realm got grouped with Kel'thuzad on CRZ back then. (My memory is pretty hazy from back then and im not even sure if CRZ was ever enabled in Tanaan during WoD)

Blizzard should really have a harder stance against this and should at least cap the amount of accounts allowed. I mean they aren't fine with people botting a single character so why should it be okay with one person playing whilst a bot tells other characters to do the same movements?
    tbh that feels more like usual asshole people being asshole they are, that happened to be those guys you mentioned didnt need to find another 2-5 like themselves.

    We had a solid month of this guy camping it, and so nobody could do their quests in Tanaan. Finally the guy and his 39 alt accounts were banned for griefing.

    Like he said, speak for yourself, I have all professions so nothing anyone else does affects me that I can think of. If I need mats I farm them, if I need something crafted I craft it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What do you mean when you say this? Because nodes have a cap, think it's 10, so if there's a 10boxxer running around gathering then no one can tap nodes he gets to it first.

    If you meant "we all have the same nodes available to us" then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you're right

    A multiboxxer with enough accounts can deplete a node by himself.

    The rest of the time I don't really care about multiboxing. If someone wants to pay for 5 active accounts so they can solo any content or have an insta gank force in world pvp, then sure that's up to them.
    It also gives multiboxers an unfair advantage in cornering markets, which in turn lets them price-gouge the items they farmed 2-5+ times as efficiently as even the most efficient solo player running one character. Overall, I don't give a shit if people have fun multiboxing, but exacerbating the already-broken ingame economies or cornering and breaking ingame economies in Classic is a legit problem and it's been a longtime issue. I would wager the unfair economic advantage and the PvP advantage are the top two reasons people take issue with multiboxers (sure, multiboxers are easy to deal with if your group knows what they're doing, but a multiboxer can wreak hell in a BG full of disorganized randos by focusing down healers before anyone has time to react).

    And no, "You can group up and be just as efficient" isn't really a defense here, because, as OP themself noted, nobody is going to join you for a 5-hour farming session only to give you all the gear, mats, valuables, and gold they farmed up with you (or, in gold's case, the gold obtained from selling vendor trash).

    @OP Your best bet is probably to post this on the service's forums and see what workarounds other multiboxers can offer. You're not likely to get much useful advice here beyond, "Ask someone who knows how to solve or work around this issue."
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    When some people have the means to grief, they will do it.
    FTFY and we can't punish everyone for some players.

    well im not defending it, but OP seems to mention dualboxing which makes me think he has only 2 accounts, which is why I said it doesnt make a lot of difference. 20 I agree, two ? not really.

    semi related question, dont nodes just disappear after the 5th or 6th loot out ?
