Multiclienting/boxing: Want to have it raised to 3 each person?

Ppl have bin complaining about the new rather strict rules of the rulechange... One thing most did agree on that it's a good thing ppl can also multi with just one pc now and experience the same thing so no need to talk about that here... But mostly due to abusing the old system the rules for the multiboxers have become rather strict now... Everyone is allowed to 2 clients each no matter how you do it...

So after hearing some ppl out on the sticky I decided to go and try to get it raised to 3... As far as I'm concerned I don't think there would be much more to bennefit from (since with 2 you can already have a healer and tank) and 3 isn't enough to open some instances by yourself like TT's and Nirvy's... So I realy think it won't make such a great impact... Also it might lighten the burden a bit for those who where struck by the limitations...

As for the topic... The best way to have a chance to acomplish this is just voting and putting some good and valid reasons for why it should or shouldn't be raised to 3... Other then that follow these rules so the higher-ups won't have a though time reading through it: No trolling, no spamming, no fighting, no complaining, and no wining about how even 3 isn't enough... You can do all that in the official sticky located here...

As a side note to GM's: Ask first ban later...

Also: I am a person who myself it totaly fine with just 2 clients each... But I was willing to do this for those who are struck by the new rules... b:cute

    THREE?

    Let's allow 6 while we're at it. Be able to run a whole squad from one computer!

    >_> 2 is enough.

    People are going to do more than 2 regardless of the rule. I know people who did 6 accounts at once on one computer before they allowed multiclienting, and I would bet anything they still do it. To be honest, there being a limitation at all seems to me like a half-assed attempt to make it look like they arent totally doing a 180 on the rule.

    There's no sense in changing it, cause again, people that want to do it are going to do it anyways.

    Yeah I figured that much... Also I don't think the GM's will act to strickly on that either... Still waiting for the ones that where complaining about this to come and post but I think they're online later... Well not that I realy care... This was just a charity for them from my part...

    @Ezehc: I laughed at the 2-year-old-baby part... Now that would be the right way to raise it... b:chuckle Nah I also think 2 is enough but let's just wait and see what the end results will be...

    The only reason there was any change in the rule was because they screwed up the launcher. It is much easier to change the rule than it is to find the code they broke.

    In either case, I prefer the new rule. Here's hoping it will cut down on the number of catshops. I mean really, could you find somewhere OTHER than west arch to put up shop?

    @Mor_Toran: If you wanna sell your ****, you gotta put your shop where everyone goes. Hence why West arch, the BH guy and 1k streams are cat-shop ridden.

    And I bet you knew that already. If so, sorry for pointing out the obvious.

    yea 2 is more then enough the main reason people lagg is because ever one who is greedy on those shops in arch puts up around 3-6 accounts making everyone on the hole server lagg including them unless they got a computer from the gods lol

    Actually it is the launcher that prevents multiclienting.

    It was explained why it was "bannable" but all things considering, the majority, Im sure uses multiclienting for bh/squad/quest purposes. No one should bother trying to "****" the game through this.

    I have a tank, I have a cleric, and I have an alt that needs the quest done. And no one will help when I ask. That's why I need 3.

    I wonder how ppl with only one account ever did those quests? We were truly amazing, we could even find squads to help us, either in our factions or a group of friends.

    Now, why do you need to multiclient again?

    Sorry for the sarcasm, but I really don't think that argument is valid b:surrender

    Games like this are designed to make you seek help from other players at certain points. Socialization and team work are a huge part of the genre.

    If that's not something you want to get into, you're better off playing a game that doesn't involve hundred of other people b:chuckle

    I'm sorry, but since I have a Barb, a Cleric, a psy, a Veno, a Sin and a Mystic should I be allowed to log all 6 chars? And since they are all in the same account should I be allowed to multi log?

    I'm sorry, but I don't feel I should be allowed to multiclient just cause I "need" to do a quest. Ask your faction to help or some friends.

    "And no one will help when I ask." I do socialize and I do seek help from others, but sometimes I can't find anyone to help out.

    While I'm heavy on socialization, I generally dualbox. I'm fine with two.

    However, 3 would mean that I could run a catshop at the same time as I grind, which is effective (and I like being effective). I'm all in for that. Until then, 2 clients is enough for me, as I usually put my catshop while I'm AFK/asleep/at work/doing something else, or running on a single character.

    I multiboxed 3 when a non tank/cleric alt needed a tank and a cleric to finish off a failed BH chain. I don't do cat shops and have no intention to, because I play for entertainment, not for game money.

    >.> this is the major problem with this game people are greedy as hell. they say you can have 2 accounts and now you feel you deserve more. i know alot of games that say you can only have 1 account period. your lucky pwi lets you have 2 logged in at the same time and yet even then your still not happy its sad how greedy the players of this game are lately. b:bye

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    The cap simply should go away, altogether. Raising ingame money harms no one. Leveling up with multiple characters harms no one. People who like to play with themselves harm no one.

    And if you are that crazy about lag, you can hit Best Performance button anytime. You can't possibly need to see every character customizations at best graphic quality in West Archo. At least you can't possibly need it more than someone needs to play with multiple characters.
