Mulit-box/multi-load loot exploit

Did a bit of theory crafting and was able to come up with an effective Multi-box loot exploit.

Booster bots 1-4 : Copies of Looter bot for when primary looter bot out levels farming zones

Babysitter bot 5 : babysitter for your other boosters.

Looter bot (Player controlled) : I would use a Marauder with stacked health armor and block. Or a duelist with stacked health evasion and block. Main source of damage would be reflect, Tempest Shield, and Molten Shield. Sweep or Cleave would be used for health gen.
Player would rush in cast enduring cry and use the reflect and the Molten explosion to kill.

Exploit : Babysitter and 1-4 are linked to a single mouse.

1.Looter and Babysitter enter zone Looter continues on alone clearing zone.
2.Once zone is clear looter and babysitter leave using the exist.
3.Babysitter enters fresh zone clears any random monsters.
4.Looter enters instance clears to Babysitter and process starts over.

Town portal could be used for effective boss farming.

Hate to share the info but this is already an issue any ideas for a fix?

If you're going to 6-box farm it's almost certainly more effective to just run 6 totem nuker builds and mow through everything with the group loot bonus. Cloning mouse/keyboard input across clients has also never been an "exploit" in any MMO I've ever played.

Multi-Boxing isn't against the rules as far as I'm aware. Just look at the people who play "that other game" and have farmed thousands of legendary items. If that's how you enjoy playing your game then personally I tip my hat to you, because it looks VERY fun and as far as I see it has a very high skill requirement, especially on Hardcore.

That's just my 2 cents but I really think we should get Chris's opinion on this.

Edit : I have PM'd Chris requesting clarification in this thread.

MMO's have a $15 a month fee that reduces this behavior somewhat. With this games model once the software has been perfected whats stopping everyone from doing this? Ethics?

We don't want this to be like the 'other game' where players are forced to multi-box to keep up with other players.

Hopefully GGG will be able to include some anti multi-boxing code that will detect when multiple accounts are casting at the same time.

You.don't.need to do this in order to load the instance. Just throw some alts in the corner and go on your merry way. You're over thinking it.

Personally as stated I don't find an issue with multi boxing. It takes a hell of a lot of skill when you think about it (Well, ok, the spark totems and such would be retarded but that's not what I'm getting at).

Especially on hardcore it would be a HUGE risk V.S. reward with one mistake leading to the death of 6 characters.

As I said, I've PM'd Chris to try and find out where GGG stands on Multi-boxing and if it is or indeed is not against their rules and ToS.

Currently.

And what the OP meant was. People are multi-loading. Read not running software for mouse support. Just loading alts. Multi loading is not against any rules as of right now.

Multi boxing via 3rd party software on the hand may be a different story altogether.

I see your point, and it may be that GGG will not allow the use of programs such as ISBoxer (Even thought in theory they would have no way to detect it other than multiple IP's and game instances).

I think we should just wait for Chris to fully clarify if Multi-Boxing is allowed as well as "Multi-Loading" (Which sounds like a complete waste of time to me).


To Clarify for if Chris comes in:

- Will "Multi-Loading" be allowed
- Will Multi-Boxing WITHOUT things such as ISBoxer be allowed
- Will Multi-Boxing WITH things such as ISBoxer be allowed.

It's not.

You get something like 250% IIQ.

Multi-loading actually sounds like a complete waste of time to me. lol

Why bother "running and gearing" the other characters anyways if you dont have too?
