Hi,
I rarely write on this forum but feel this is something that concerns me greatly.
I find this new change to “multi-boxing” ridiculous. The core issue here is that using multiple accounts suggests you get an advantage in gameplay and thus, the “unfairness” principle is being claimed as main reason. I can somewhat respect that argument per se. But whether multi-boxing is to be considered cheating or not is a different topic imo.
However, I find it hilariously contradictory to argue for “Ryzom being an cooperative game … and to preserve its essence and the soul of a game where collaboration is encouraged” AND at the same time allowing two toons just because many finds it “commonly accepted”. Using a second toon (also multi-boxing) to help with care planning or back healing is exactly the same thing as having 3 toons cp or healing you (on a principle level). So, the core issue is actually voided due to this argumentative discrepancy.
My point is: Either you forbid Multi-boxing completely, or you allow it. Especially if you call for the argument of preserving the games essence and encouraging collaboration. Everything else would be hypocrisy.
And to claim that “having an army at your command make no sense: the game loses its essence” is highly offensive. To dictate how other player should be playing the game “correctly” is just stupid. I know I’ve had similar discussions revolving playing RP or not is the “correct” way or the game loses its essence. But I won't be mentioning the war today.
