Re: Why is Multiboxing Banned for PvP?

Alright, so. I've basically seen the same point spoken again and again as to why multiboxing is disabled for PvP. So… let's address it. It creates an unfair advantage for the multiboxers. Some posts claim multiboxers "chain-gank" individuals. Some posts claim that multiboxers can clear who...

You are playing an MMO. I encourage you to find another likeminded player to do this with.
