Thread: Dev please comment: Multiboxing in Moors allowed aor not?

Grab an LM buddy. Kill head. Kill 11 other chars. This was exactly what happened in EC a couple days ago. Me and malephor waited for the 12 boxing reaver (forget the head's name... One of em's Thefreshprince lol if that helps anyone know) and stuck down sticky tar, traps in unexpected places (not the door! Lol.) he bought the bait. Ran in, we blew up his lead reaver. The rest just stuck around for a bit until he got control of one, but by that time we just rooted and stunned our way to victory. Just goes to show that boxing is not hard to beat. Just gotta play smart, use npcs. I remember feeling real accomplished after I took down a 6 boxer BA with a pet rk healer for bubbles and such at my back.
Moral of the story: 2 smart players > any number of boxers.

I's been legal from day 1. It's only illegal for MB players to farm themselves. That's it.

A few years ago, I gave up complaining, it became clear Turbine wasn't going to address the issue like they did with gold spammers.

One option, some may not like, is to just go to another server or PVE or fold laundry but don't go in the moors whenever you see someone you don't want to reward by giving them renown or infamy. On the one hand pride says, figure out a way to get em and don't let them push you out of the moors but you can also look at it as beneath you to entertain players who aren't up to your standards.

I just shrug now when I see them after so many filed tickets over the years, what am I going to do, if Turbine isn't going to do much about it. LOL

Hi there,

I've been six-boxing for a while now and to be honest the only times I've been in the moors its been when nobody or at least as little as possible peeps are online to try taking over TA or summat on my own. A fun challenge to "solo". I do agree though that its pretty unfair for me to meet a random creep or freep as I can 1 shot that person pretty easy... Saying that I agree that this kind of behaviour is unfair and hence I don't do that.... On the other side... six-boxing is not simple and you will NEVER get as much dps out with such a group as six characters individually played would. So as someone says... pretty easy to kill a boxer-group if you keep your distance and then find out who's the leader... also.. positioning... a boxer can turn any direction, but will struggle to move and attack simultaniosly with a group on follow... Yes you can do some tricks to make this happen, but still... makes it hard for the boxer and easy for the one who decides to try killing a boxing-group.

I certainly know what I would do as a single player encountering a boxer in moors...

I've also tried a while ago killing my own creep with a freep and first time you kill you get good points for the kill, second time you get less third time even less and after that it just is a waste of time... I guess by having a kill-plan you can get around this to rank one of your alts up quite quickly... but honestly... there is NO way I would even consider trying to rank one of my alts to more than rank 1 this way... to much hassle and while you are doing this... anyone can come and see whats happening and kill either of the groups....

So my standing as a boxer is:

Boxers should not do PvP raids as its both unfair and in my eyes stupid towards what PvP actually is. (even though its also unfair for the boxers to be killed by a clever single player :-D)

Boxers should do PvE raids and instances. Now on the other hand this is fun and challenging... I've joined in and killed draigoch at lvl 75 with 5 alts and I've done ToO lightning wing and fear-wing with 4 of my alts in at one time... Both buffing, debuffing, stunning, messing, healing and rezzing as work to be done... so its not only 1 main and x number of clones/drones/slaves...you actually swap between targets, alts to do different things as well... Well at least I do anyways...

In the end its only a game... so I have fun with my conga-line, and if you see me in the ettens I won't be charging in for an attack... but if you attack me first I'll unleash my fury :-) 1 click and zap your dead... muhahahaha
