I am sorry for this but my mom is quite sick and I wanted to answer the phone. Normally I never go AFK in team games because I do not want to ruin things for my team. Even if the match is terrible and we're getting out-skilled greatly by the other players. > > I often report other players for being AFK if they don't give a reason or if they go idle with the reason of giving up on our team/match. Why didnt you just leave the match then

Can i put accounts on different servers now? - yes Would i be in trouble if anet found out - yes Policy i suggested: Can i put accounts on different servers now? - yes Would i be in trouble if anet found out - yes What identifies a multiboxer in openworld? multiboxing is allowed in openworld, same rules would apply there as in wvw.

Just because there are rules doesnt mean some people wont break them. I could go in game now and say the gamer word, the likeliness of me not getting banned is small, but the likeliness fo me getting banned is high. Just like with all policies the risk of me getting banned is higher if i breach them. Its illegal to steal, people still steal things.

I would assume that is support? that handles and investigates any reports > How does the system know that you have a ‘multi boxed’ account open when the map queues? People record and report multiboxers/botters in open world, i'm sure there will be people that does it in world vs world if thats the case. I dont know and neither do you what tools Anet have to see if people are multiboxing or not. > Would you have to register your accounts as ‘linked’ to prevent them from being involved in the same matchup? Not sure what you are asking, accounts would have to be on the same server. Nothing i have proposed suggests that being on different servers would be okay. If they cant already track it i dont think they ever would be able to. Unless they are investigating a specific account and see that the accounts are on different servers and in wvw at the same time.

If you read the post one of the new policy points would be accounts must be played actively. I'm not sure but knowing how most multiboxers play i would say sitting afk with necros doesnt cut it. I'm on a full server and even on primetime not all servers are full and 1 of the policy points i suggested would be not allowing multiboxing if the border is queued. > > > > I know that eotm doesnt reward pips, but i stated that you could do some of the dailies there. > > All i am saying is that people will abuse it. Some say some still do it even to this day. People will always break rules no matter the context. If people breach it they should get banned simple as that. My point is the current policy of flat out "NOT ALLOWED AT ALL" is not good. People who afk or do whatever will continue to do so whatever the policy would be, changing it would just allow legitimate players to activate. It would not affect people who abuse because they already do it.

Allow multiboxing in world vs world if accounts are on the same server and: - Map is not queued - Must play actively - No macros Do the right thing

@"ArenaNet Team.4819"

Allow multiboxing in world vs world if the accounts are on the same server and actively played

Allow multiboxing in EOTM if accounts are on the same server and played actively

Allow multiboxing in eotm if all accounts are on the same server and played actively

Can you show a picture of the effect

monthly reminder to allow multiboxing in wvw if the accounts are on the same server, alternatively allow it in edge of the mists, edge of the mists is dead and doesnt affect "real" world vs world @System @anet

Feels high still or is my dmg dogtier
