The thrill always fades. No doubt.

You. Yes I want to make your life harder, I want to make you whole org life WAY MORE harder cause you DO NOT HELP clan side after all, as you don't help ANYONE but yourself. you don't help any people life easier in any way, whatever side people are. Do you have any problem with it and maybe you wanna speak about this ? please take time and let's speak about it. would you ?
Ill give you once more my ingame names : Dominatrice, Maitresse, Halakazham, and lately Vagabonde (since yesterday).
lets organize a real chat with every AO people from any side.
I also invite any MBer to join that chat. Lets organize it. Lets all speak together and let's all face what multiboxing is.
I love AO.
Hey titemeta, I'd really appreciate if you'd stop pretending to represent Clan and speak of the behalf of "everyone", because that would include me, and I'm not with you on this one. Not everyone (outside DI) is against MB on Clan side, and also not everyone hates DI, just because you wish it was so.
It's about to be hit with a nerf bat for being off topic. I estimate in about 3-4 hours.
Also, side note. I don't hate DI either. I mean lets face it, they are adolescent trolls led by child like minded adults. I would go as far to say I dislike them, but hey, they are making great strides.
You hate them, cause you ain't them....
But on a real note, its not constructive to take your anger out on others. Wrap it up son.
Would you like to share with the class as to what exactly is MBing?
What is there to face?
Other then the facts. Because its not leaving this game any time soon.
As it mentioned earlier. The trend of MBing is just a trend. You add some things to deter people, and let the others get bored.
In 1 year it will be something else. Just love your AO neighbor :P
open time swaps
entire teams spamming an item to lag a pf
heavily biased sides
account sharing (several people using the same accounts to attack all day long)
same sided attackers
Mech raids (yep all mechs)
NT crazy nuke damage
solo NT's using LE nukes to solo CT's bypassing entire field of supports (guilty)
Soli SB

multibox - current
in no specific order, and much more I don't remember. all these things were overcome, or met head on, and people had a crapload of fun doing it, they just didn't realize it at the time.
And the biggest reason Multibox takes the cake is people like yourself. You want to sit in your armchair and discuss about what's "good for clan" and "good for ao" and make rules on how people should play this game while we have all the bases we could ever want and as many acdc's as I have alts. While you and the rest of the sheep are still talking. I can't blame you, must get boring waiting in that queue to "bid" on your next item and putting up with all the imbecils that join public bots, while I'm sitting here getting absolutely anything I want done, pvm or pvp wise and only doing so with close friends. But you, you and all the other sheep keep talking about what needs to be done, while me, I'll keep kicking omni ass and chewing bubble gum.
I'm just saying out loud again what people think. I don't pretend to represent anyone but myself. But I propose a real chat. Is that also so hard to approach?
Look, seems you have some mental problems, and since im not a psychiatrist, i will send you to Clan council and let you guys decide what clan do from now on.
Other then that you shouldnt speak to me as equals, you're below and you cant even dare to see my feets.
I've spoke in your thread honest, open, didnt flame anyone, i just said my mind and how i see things, you got something constructive to post and reply with the maturity i did, sure go ahead, its your own thread anyway.
But coming to me with such personal incompetence and bringing your whole underdog level onto DI and telling me YOU make a clan meeting?
I'd suggest to search for us on NL hill, and then tell your friends omg i been around para, hes such a great guy.
For you and all my fans, though i explained to you long time ago, this is what we'll give to you.
yes, they like peasants
Remove assist, that will make tons of things much better - multiboxer's overall perfomance while against a good bunch of targets, overall PvM noobsquad skills and many more.
I know it will never happen, so bumping my post count aswell :)
Hello, my name is Wont and I'm a multiboxer.
(Hi Arty!)
postcount++
also, let's not forget, from FCs standpoint, having to pay 6 accounts is better than having to pay 1 or 2.
I think its pretty clear to most people that FC has lost more money then they gained in this mess.
Had the game been started with that platform, thats one thing. But this game is obligated to stay true in the sake of fairness to the other players. After all it isn't what they signed up for.
Make no mistake, funcom would of fixed it if they could of. Because they couldn't is now a crap shoot, I'm sure someone is looking closely at the long term numbers to use later for similar catastrophes.
The real ending argument here is.... Will FC make more money in the long run because the community accepted it and moved on. I like the game, so I encourage this often. Surely if they get cold feet now they are sure to loose money. The model only works on the large scale.
My two cents.
there's more or less the same people playing this game for the past 5 or so years. i'm talking in the long run. now they just pay for more accounts. and as for people not getting what they signed for, nobody is forcing you to play. nobody is forcing you not to mb, especially since paying for 6 accounts is trivial now with graces and all.
also, quoting the guy directly above you is dumb.
Your right. It is kinda dumb. I'll keep this in mind.
And your also right. No one is forcing anyone to play and or MB. Some may feel that way, but in actuality you were never righted to anything to begin with. As said by the eula.
Hence the million dollar question, whats more profitable in the long run?
Funcom want to release AO in Steam (to get more Players). With Steam you can't use an Multibox Tool. :D I only hate multibox in pvm - that kills the teamplay. PvP is boring atm in AO and we got to much towerfields for less People. I think the half of all Tower are planted by an Twink Org...
:D Thinking from Funcoms perspective... how will this affect revenue?
10-15 peolple pay 6 accounts..
do 60-75 people quit becouse they do?
I wouldnt... and well didnt so far quit becouse of multiboxers.
I do towers, not becouse of MBoxers but becouse i picked a side and am loyal to it.
I never did low level towers much becouse it never was a level playing field...
First it was DB buffs on lvl 90's, then mochams on lvl 21 traders... I kinda gave up lowbie pvp after that, because having 5 alts to buff is just not fun to run a little bit of tower action.
MBoxing ruined nothing for me on low levels, because everything was already ruined.
On high levels? To be honest towers are better than before, because tower mechanics improved a bit. (thank you Michi)
Everything else is as before, massive AS spam against single target... be it from mutliboxers be it to regular people.
You know what would make wonders to pvp for me?
Limit # of times specials can hit you in given time... say 1 AS per 5 seconds, and same timer for different specials and offensive nanos.
So it becomes inefficient to be attacked by more than 2-3 people at same time. That would make mass pvp insanely fun, picking targets like real war, engaging individual targets in small fireteams, not entire raid.
I always found mass assist spam a mechanics that totally ruins mass pvp fun.
And that brings us back to Mboxing, Mboxing is the evolution of mass assist spam, Because that is the most effective way of winning, people do it.
Rather than argue to Bann multiboxers we should argue how to improve game mechanics where multi boxing would no longer be the most efficient way of winning.
What we have in AO 2015 edition is a chance! For first time in history of AO we have dev team that really listens, what we can do is suggest changes, negotiate through such things and overall make game better.
But as long as game is as it is, personally I cannot blame people for multiboxing, or can I support banning them.
I wouldn't mind assist being taken out, but somehow I think someone will come up with their new assist program and all is well again.
They would really have to remove it, and I don't think they can. They could disable it, but then it could be enable.
I'm sure something like assist is part of a core code. To change it, you would have to change everything.
Also. 1 client running on steam is interesting. Never heard this, thanks for the info.
