Summary in less fancy words for you : wanting to get rid of multiboxing to be able to satisfy your greed makes you a hypocrite.
Bendaar,
Sorry but you completely missed my point:
You take 1 sentence " Demand of everything is decreased a lot and is almost impossible to sell anything to other players (lootrights or GMI)" out of the list that starts with
"Some more &%$#ers with no life saw that and decided that it would be cool to do the same (and I have no idea nor care whether they were Omni or Clan) so even more towers at the same time were hit with this "genious" strategy"
and end with
"FC realises nobody is loging to AO servers and decides to switch them off... "
That list is a mixture of facts (the way I see those facts) and my predictions of what will happen in future.
I am not implying anything except 2 things:
1 - MB is bad thing
2 - It will lead to death of AO which is also bad thing
The sentence that you quote "Demand of everything is decreased a lot and is almost impossible to sell anything to other players (lootrights or GMI)" is just a fact that number of any tradeing between characters will go down to almost zero no matter if it is:
face to face trade (item for credits)
lootright (take loot for credits)
I even forgot to add another possible transactions like
fee for tradeskilling
fee for "quest help service"
fee for "kiting" or other form of power leveling
It had nothing to do with my opinion about any of above mentioned form of earning credits.
I just predicted that they will all stop as a side effect of multiboxing.
As for my stand on lootright selling as well as beeing accused of greed:
1. I always believed and still believe in a golden rule "need over greed"
2. Over the 10+ years I played AO I helped many orgmates or even strangers as long as they were nice and asked for help most of the time not taking any payment.
3. I never start any loot farming with a purpose of selling lootrights because from my experience if I need credits I rather farm items that I can sell through GMI
However you may see me (some of my characters) selling lootrights on Neutnet/dnet and I'll happily explain why? and how?
Whenever I need any loot from S7, Dread, or Pande for me or one of my friends or orgmates I'll do the following:
1. Kill that instance/encounter (solo or with friends/orgmate) if a desired loot drops then the one that need it loots it.
2. If something else drops I ask everybody (friends, orgmates) who need/want it then he/she loots it
3. If something else drops that nobody need/want and I consider such item valuable/rare/usefull instead of allowing it to rot I will send Neutnet/dnet spam WTS Lootrights
Examples of that are most of the time:
Any S7 weapon (I can solo all S7 bosses and often ppls ask me for specific weapon so I offer WTS lootrights on any "nice" weapons that drop in the meantime)
Some items from Dreads bosses (they are random so If I do not get what I need I try to sell what in fact dropped)
All items from Pande (always done with other ppl) I always go to Pande when I need some item or when somebody ask me for help. Then same principle whoever needs loot takes it and only leftovers are offered as WTS lootrights
I have never gone to any instance with intention of selling lootrights for profit! I go there when I need some nodrop item for alt or to help friends/orgmates.
If occassional lootright selling of leftovers/unwanted items makes me a greedy person and hypocrite then be it :)
Greedy is definitely the wrong word, self-centered is more accurate.
I see, as I think we can all agree, a nearer rather than farther terminal point for AO.
But......
Recently my wife and I are having a good time on most days.
However MB's in PvP does bother us. If it is here to stay (and I believe it is) then
It is a shame that the average player cannot, with a quest or credits, hire NPC players to "complete" a group of 6. This might help?
What's to prevent the MBer from doing the same and making his 6 players into 36?Quote:

To add on to the discussion in the other MB thread in this forum section perhaps one group per IP limit?
Anarchy Online is for sure a game where folks legit run a high level toon to watch over their lowbie all day every day. This is fine.
