Multiboxing at least made sense back when trade existed. 4x the sales.

But honestly, the game right now is like a big participation ribbon. No true competition, a game of chance and luck. Be the first to find that 0.xx% ancient perfect weapon and leap to the top of the brackets. Multiboxing takes what little self reward there was left in this game and chops it into quarters.

I never supported it. Always felt it is against the spirit of the game. If the leaderboard rank #1 openly said "i pay 3 kids $40 to make DHs and farm with me to give items to my DH" he'd be called a moron... but multiboxing has the "hipster fresh" spin put on it.

And the games shitty dev team have openly admitted to quad boxing Saders when RoS first hit (in a blue post on bnet forums and on a Twitch vid: http://www.twitch.tv/diablo/b/537881134 (24:40 & 1:00:50 ). His own game is so interesting he talks about 4 boxing saders while watching Netflix. Best game ever.

use your commen sense... You play simultaneous 3-4 chars instead of 1^^, so yeah is cheating. Does Blizzard cares ? No, i saw a Blue said it was allowed, same like Makros for Boom Sorc

But i dont see the point in it, probably because idc about the leaderboard :D

pretty much agree with him

Manual control & skill macros = not cheating.

Automatic control (botting) = cheating.

First question is, who gives a shit?

PvP is bad, there is no trading. The game is basically a single player game, where you can log on for short bursts of entertainment (2-5 minute rifts) with a chat room and a leaderboard

Through a chat room on Angry birds and you'd have the same type, except I'm pretty sure Angry birds takes more skill, and has less RNG.

Not cheating, if i had the time and willing to spend that much effort on dealing with 2-3 extra small screens i would do it.

People who tribox just have too much time on their hands which is the exact opposite of people who use bots
