    It's all because of Titan. people need money to hire a mercenary group to kill Titan so they buy money from RMTs and RMTs using bots to farm gil.

    He is a multi-boxer. I speak with him all the time.

    Multiboxing is not against the ToS and is perfectly legal.

    I've seen them a couple of times. As other have said, it is likely a "multiboxer" -- someone who has purchased multiple accounts and plays more than one character simultaneously.

    As far as I'm aware, multiboxing is not against the rules, though I'm leaning towards the opinion that is ought to be. The game is designed with the assumption that each player is player gets one character at a time -- be that out in the world leveling/gathering/crafting, or queuing for dungeons and rolling for loot, or in PvP. I don't understand how it's even done -- surely this requires some sort of tool-assisted interface that changes how the player is able to control the game. It's not like he's got four PCs running on four monitors, and four mice/keyboards. Does he have 8 hands, too?

    However it's done, I think multiboxing is unsporting, not to mention pretty shady. Clearly, it gives an unfair advantage to one player over another, or he wouldn't be doing it. MMOs should stop tolerating this behaviour, if you ask me.

    Hmm, I don't like it, but I don't think it should be against the rules either.

    I think that as long as they are not using any third party software/hacks/cheats/macros (outside of game macros) then it should be allowed. Again, I don't like it, but as long as they're not breaking the current rules, I think it should be allowed.

    Also, if I'm correct, I think you can run multiple instances of ffxiv on a single machine. Pretty sure my husband did this with both his account and mine logged in at the same time on his pc. (I could be wrong, I have a notoriously bad memory, but I'm 75% certain about the multiple instances of the game.)

    Everyone thought paid retainers and fantasia would be the end of it.
    You were warned.

    Hi my name is Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Pie and I'm a multiboxer. Which means I play multiple characters with NO automation. I am not a bot. I use ingame stuff like /follow and /assist macros and run all four of my Pies on one computer. This is 100% legal and I have done it in multiple games. Some might think its an unfair advantage but controlling four characters is a slower process than playing just one. For example ground AoE is a pain to get out of so I take more damage and sometimes die to being slow. Four characters take 4x the gear/resources as well. I do some dungeons by myself with pld/brd/brd/whm but the endgame stuff is far to hard to multibox in this manner so normally I only go in as brd/brd. If you see me ingame (unless i'm afk at an aethryte) stop and wave and say hi and we'll have a friendly conversation. I prefer if you message Apple Pie first, due to all the rmt whisper spamming I don't pay attention to all four chat boxes equally. I'm sorry I seemed to have ruffled some feathers but I want to assure you that i'm not doing anything mischievous.

    Holy crap you ought to do a vid of you 'soloing' a low lvl dungeon. Is it all done with one keyboard/controller? Or some set up like this:

    I just can't even comprehend how hard that would be xD We literally do have a bad ass over here.

    You have nothing to apologise for and this topic is yet another example of why it's against forum rules to go witch hunting other players. I hope the OP is feeling incredibly sheepish right now.
