It's a bit like saying, why having police? Criminal will shoot you anyways.
I see your point there. But multi clienting is hardly an issue I would say. For a game like this, that feature seems harmless. Unless you can point out a more specific reason as to why this feature shouldn't be implemented

Multiboxers crack me up. If anyone of note is actually reading this thread.....please don't waste an ounce of time looking into this. Please work on other more important game features that would actually add value to the game. TY.

Well, Gold Farming is probably the second most big threat of the fall of an mmo (First one being bad design), so I'd say that is a pretty good reason, however, if you think about it, this is an mmo, which is about building a community, and if you bot by yourself, and play it solo constantly, you will kill that multilalyer aspect that the game is trying to achieve.

Imagine a server where you are asking to look for group, but most of the people around you do not want to group because they already have a second account, it means you will have even less chances to complete grouping instances, which will result in a singplayer game, with subscription.

This is what I think based on the past years experience, but perhaps there are more important reasons that I am not aware of.

I highly doubt ANYONE but you is trying to do this and personally the concept has never even entered my mind...

In some cases, yes that would be an issue. But I remember from my WoW days, My friends and I only multiclient so that one character can be used as a mule. (just to note; we didn't have multiple accounts, we just shared our accounts... TOTALLY illegal xD). Also, farm botters can easily find ways to multi-client. So having this feature will really just benefit the legit players. If that makes sense? Lol

Oops forgot to point out
Mule=inventory space and occasional free member for when we can't find someone to assist us

The companies might allow it but the honest truth is that the large majority of your co-players think it's cheating.

There are good arguments for it, because to make it work in other games there are mods that make it so that there is a master toon and slave toons copying the master. Now I don't know about you but what the slave toons do sounds awfully like botting and no game (officially) allows that, although given the amount of bots in some games you'd think they don't care much.

In short any game that allows multiboxing is hypocritical about cheating just because they can get the extra $$$ from the multiboxers for multiple accounts.

This.

Having a setup that automates the actions of one or more characters in-game IS cheating and is against the ToS of every MMO that I have ever played. Whether the developers agree and feel they need to curb/stop this behavior is ultimately up to them.

Welcome back, OP
I see you are still spewing bile and vitriol with the same reckless abandon.
