I get that people feel that it will make the game more fair, but for me the only real impact this creates is probably making the consumable costs higher. Then again, I kind of intended not to use raid consumables anymore anyway, so that might help push me to that goal. Overall I'm pretty indifferent about this
Now let's hope raw material mat collection rate is increased or consumption rate is lowered or the economy is fucked.
Oh no, the economy!
This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
Let me blow your mind. You can hate multiboxers AND hate botters at the same time. Crazy concept, but I bet if you let it sit and roll around in your brain for a while, you will figure out how it is possible. I imagine the majority of people here are actually more annoyed by the botters than the MBers.
Conversely you can make more gold selling fewer mats, because the price to sell them will have gone up. Which nets more gold for casual players.
Top end things that aren’t easily farmable still sell for a crap ton of gold because they don’t have their constituent parts being deflated in price. So raiders that prosper from selling runs and bring in hundreds of thousands of gold or multiboxers that can sell dirt cheap mats at such a volume so as to still bring in gobs of gold set the prices for those prohibitively high.
This could help bridge that gap.

Oh people are at mad at bots...don't think they aren't. It's just a multiboxer is way more visible because the random bot that you cross is not obvious until he does something "botty" but a train of druids catches the eye instantly.
Anyway the real point of my post was: this policy change affects almost nothing to multibox gatherers. They will continue to use 10 druids because you can easily do it without multiboxing software.
So I'm still a little surprised so many people in this thread are making statements like "the economy" or "I can finally herb" or "let's see herbs/ores prices now"....because from my perspective almost nothing changes for the druid's train.
they finally realized multiboxers dont pay for multiple accounts and use tokens instead. so, a far lighter revenue loss
If this was for the economy, then boosters next.

... you have no idea how the tokens work do you ?
The tokens they buy.. How do you think those end up in the game for them to be able to buy ?
The tokens are paid for by OTHER PLAYERS. A token cost 20 euro. thats almost double a regular sub. Multiboxers paying with gold make blizzard MORE money, not less
- It's over, Multiboxkin, we have the high ground.
- You underestimate our hacking skills.
- Don't try it.
I like it. It eliminates most of the problems I personally have with multiboxers, while still allowing less problematic multiboxers to do their thing.
It's also a big step in allowing Blizzard to detect botters and eliminate them without having to investigate to see if they are actually multiboxers first, cutting down on chinese gold farmer returns on investment, which should help reduce the botting problem further.
This also should help with wpvp, albeit I rarely wpvp, much less encounter a multiboxer while flagged (Last time was in WOD)
As to how my profits from netherweave bags and such are affected, we'll see.

Not entirely sure what point you are trying to make.... But if you are saying that if more WOW tokens go up on the AH, that somehow results in blizzard making less real life money, you are wrong.
People buy wow tokens from blizzard for a fixed ammount of real life money which is generally more than a 1 month sub. Blizzard makes their money when someone buys 1 of those tokens. The ammount of gold that the token sells for on the AH has zero impact on Blizzard.
