Question about multiboxing PC/PS3

My Wife and I play on PS3 and she's wanting to get a PC ver so it'd be easier for survival purposes, she used to play multiple characters on 11 because we had trouble getting a party, here's what we were thinking of using if she did, setup me: PS3 and a 14 account, her: PS3 and a PS3 14 account and PC and a PC 14 account, and her alt would use a macro similar to this,

/assist <t>
/wait 1
/ac "Skill/spell" <t>
/wait 4
/ac "Skill/spell" <t>
/wait 4
/ac "Skill/spell" <t>
/wait 4

and she wanted to find out if that would be allowed without any ToS violation?

can anyone answer this question? thanks in advance

You'd be better off submitting a ticket IMO.
I know many other MMO don't have anything against this (Such as WOW); but any answer I or any other user could give you, would have little to no weight. Now if a community rep was to reply to you, that'd be a different story.

Well, first you'd need to make sure you have two separate accounts for it. Unless something has changed, attempting to log into the same data center with one version, that the other is logged in on gets the "A character is already logged in" error. So, adding pc to the account wont work. You can log in to separate data centers without any issue. For instance, I can log into a character on Gungir (JP) and Excalibur (NA) at the same time, one on ps3, one on pc. But not on, say, Faerie (NA) and Excalibur

Ayane, it sounds like what your talking about is logging onto 2 characters on the same ffxiv account, but we are wondering about 2 separate SE accounts, 1 for the PS3 account and 1 for the PC account, if a community rep could reply that would be great.

idk about the rules either but thought it would be allowed, i have 2 pc right next to each other and play with my 1.0 and the copy of the game i bought for early access. so i ended having and subbing 2 accounts lol though i dont use a macro, i have 1 hand each keyboard to do stuff

this is like what I'm talking about, just using the built in macro system to help with the combat, as illustrated in my original post, since that's how the system can be used, we are just wanting to know this is ok, we use controllers to play our games with on PC and Consoles.

Edit: My Wife just found this, http://support.na.square-enix.com/fa...la=1&kid=67225 this shows its ok to multibox in the way she's wanting to do.

as long as you are not using any third party tools or trying to exploit anything multiboxing is allowed. i also have 2 accounts between me an my wife an i dual wield characters frequently

The fact that you can be logged in to the same account twice really freaks me out to be honest.

This.
/10char

This post is so TROLL.

"My Wife and I play on PS3"

Technically there is already 2 Account on the same IP address, and now they worry about the 3rd one...

Wait, are you worry about a secret agent from SE spying in your window to see if you play with 2 console at same time?

ANY REFERENCE TO FF11 mean Windower, and no, in that case is again the ToS, but do SE ban for windowers? NO and simply NO, no one would play 11 otherwise.

Is SE going to ban me because i use Macro Maker to auto target monster in the list with f1 to f8? Technicaly they could!!!! Yes technically they could be jerk and ban me, but in fact they better just ADD UP the option in they stupid game, and i wont use macro maker..

You need to make the difference with "TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A GAME" and doing something that should be in game in first place. They never banned windower because they know no one would play 11 without it, and they can't add what windower offer since PS2 is too limited for that.

I really don't know what is your real question OP, but you can draw your line. Simple: Take advantage of the game and damage other player game time = insta ban, otherwise SE is mega tolerant.

i'm pretty sure they technically can't ban you for using a macro either. when you first start the game, one of the already created macros in the macro maker is a auto-claim/attack macro

I said Macro maker, is a 3rd party program that make F1 mouse click in specific region of the screen for me. F1 click on first monster in the list, f2 the second one and so on.

I would play 100% legit if there was a way to Key Bind monster list selection. I find that really retard that the option is not there. If they want to ban me just because i refuse to play with mouse then be it.

Ive played 11 with keyboard only, and will play 14 keyboard only. My setup is simple,

(my right hand) thumb control camera with arrow while my other 4 finger control movement/zoom in/out/auto walk/cancel/first person/target closest monster with numpad, and i have my left hand for macro, f1 to f8 select.

Everyone they style, but ya... Until they add a monster selection option that you can key bind, i have no choice to use macro maker, or quit FF14. So i let SE decide for me, if i get ban, than ill spend my money somewhere else, no big deal.
