Well to start, he can't actually raid with all those accounts.  It is not physically possible to control even 10 accounts at one time let alone 25 or more.  Raids require all players to be doing something at the same time.  Hence it is more a stunt than a reality.  I have seen people run 2 or 3 characters at the same time, it is possible, but beyond that....unless the author has invented some pretty amazing AI, it is not happening.

So you can stop saying amazing and get back to the pretty dumb idea.

Id bet allot of gold farmers have similar setups as this guy although probably not on the same scale.


 

Yes and Blizzard encourages this.  I said it before and I said i again with their total lack of  ethics and with some of the shit that they openly encourage on their Official forums Blizzard is heading to a bad end, fanbois can roll their eyes and say yeah sure all they want, Blizzard is on many many Radars right now and not in a good way.

It doesn't make a fart in a windstorm's difference. It's an instanced game. Ethics doesn't enter into it.

Even sandboxes have fundamental rules such as; "Don't eat the cat poop, you'll die."

Gamers who use RMT are like athletes who use steroids.

Both games have instancing sadly, but if someone is boxing outside of an instance, ethics does enter into it. Also games with instancing tend to have the worst economies because people can farm non stop without healthy competition. Obviously someone like this schmuck, can farm more difficult instances designed for real groups/raids that much more effectively.

MMO''s are okay, just don''t let them run your life.

I admire this much determinism. I hope doctors are the same way about curing cancer, charitable people in giving to the poor, and relief workers in helping provide food and clean water.
 

 

Touché the post above ends this thread :-)

Cynical? Me? Never.

I'd be willing to bet anyone who could afford that is more successful in real life than the ****** who makes fun of him from behind a computer.

 

Wrong. Is Paris Hiltion more successful than you or me? No, but her grandfather sure is.

 

Sometimes success isn't about what's in your bank account. This is one of those times.

Personally I would never use multiple accounts.

I'm a social person when I play these games so I never really felt the need do this.

Get some friends and raid, dont walk around with 2-26 accounts.

My question is though, how the heck do you control 36 characters at the same time???

If he's raiding he's gotta be rather busy

If you have played WoW recently you will see mostly multiboxers.  When I first started playing WoW people grouped all the time.  No
