Dual boxin breakng the rules? how players have an unfair advantage.

[Reinheart]

i dont care if someone wants to play both characters, but when people create another account just to use the anima no account #2, and have their #2 account tag along quest.leves, and behest for no other reason then the gil bonus thats what bothers me.

Its a fine line for sure.

Yeah if they are tagging along their 2nd+ account for the rewards without doing s*** or so little on the 2nd+ then that's a problem for sure. If they use the 2nd+ account say... probably hard to do but actual party play by him/herself then I don't see why not but again it's not something easy to do unless their is a bot that can make 2nd+ char into magical AI character that cures, fights mobs with you w.

having more character in party also increases drops on items too (I think) that also needs fix like the one I was mentioning earlier they have to somehow fight/help the battle to earn it... but then again it just means have the 2nd+ char run up to the mob and spam auto-attack and it automatically makes it ok... which isn't fair... I think it's really hard for devs to fix this part.

I know it would be hard to enforce, all i want to know is if this kind of behavior is cheating or not. You could manage 2 characters with some good macros if you really wanted to. As you can see the thevedis has 10 retainers in the wards as he mentioned. with he problems facing the wards as it is, i don't approve of this either.

Let me also take a sec to tell everyeon im not attacking everyone with mule accounts i nkow inventory is a b&^ch right now. My problem is the combination of all these abused practices. Mainly anima and rewards

Well, IMO its not cheating. Saying dual boxing is cheating is the same as saying storage mules are cheating...they're not. Cheating is using something that is not part of the game to take advantage...like buying gil from RMTs or botting. Multiple accounts is perfectly legal and actually a very valid idea in any MMO. If the player uses his mule to teleport or used leves to link on his, its all valid...any character can teleport someone else or link a leve with someone else...he being the owner of both accounts does not turn it into cheating.

EDIT: Well, this does is a problem...actually its the way RMTs work...one kill and all others receive gil from leve-sharing...but its still legal....that's why even tho everybody know they're RMT they're still there...until they get someone buying that gil they farmed they cannot do a thing because ToS does not deny this behavior. However, i do think they should restrict leve-sharing and behest reward to those that actually took part in the event...if you was at aetheryte all the time you actually receive nothing...if there were 10 monsters and you engaged only one you receive 10% of the full reward...

they already do its classic RMT behavior in this game. make a train, have them all have guildleve's, while you have the highest character in the train blow threw it. 6 Characters in a train. x 7 guildleve's each character, is 42 leves. lets say the highest payout is 2500 for a r10 run that's 105,000 Gil at r20 the payout is doubled/tripled netting you an easy 300,000+ per run its destroying the games economy.
