Make multiboxing explicitly against TOS please!

[bb]

FIrst of all let me preface that I'm super excited about the game!

I come from Eve online background and let me tell you multiboxing is an absolute cancer for the game and ruins the fun for everyone else and messes up the economy. Please make it against ToS, the following youtuber is promoting multiboxing based on the fact it's not explicitly against ToS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0mK0s1dCNA

Reasons:
- negatively impacts economy, as multiboxing players can acquire more resources, gain a gold lead and reduce the prices of items on the market
- negatively impacts game design, as a player can use multiple characters to circumvent the need to interact with other players, in activities that require cooperation
- negatively impacts pvp game design, as secondary characters can be used for scouting pvp areas
- will negatively impact leaderboards once player to player trading becomes available, as multiple characters can pool resources to fund a single main to boost it up the ladder
- Regardless of how reliably it can be detected, if they don't specify it in the ToS, and they find a reliable method to detect it later, they will not be able to employ it because it was not against ToS from the getgo, and players will have already invested resources in it. This is a long term game, and a lesson that should be learned from other MMOs that could not backpedal on ToS, such as Eve online, which is the example I'm most familiar with.
- because of the above advantages, it turns Brighter Shores into a pay to win game, since you need to pay for subs for your secondary accounts

Thank you!
- An eager player

You're asking someone to remove a multiplier on their money earned.
There's a reason why this is almost always allowed or stuck in a gray area where* it's "kind of" allowed.

I agree that it should not be allowed, it makes all games worse.
But it never makes anyone else stop playing the games. So the developers have nothing to lose by letting it happen.

You say multiplier. But you simply must decide on what negative factor you apply by players driven away by multi boxing.

Are you *absolutely* sure that the combined total is positive?

You're right on PVP, as it will be the final update of Early Access.
Trading however, will not be available AT LAUNCH but will be available a week or two after. https://x.com/AndrewCGower/status/1849160327415386467

Gower said they wanted to stick to the Nov 6th release date, but Trading couldn't be part of it without causing some account issues so they wanted to wait and iron it out a little more, instead of having issues for everyone.

I was hoping to have p2p trading ready for launch on 6th November, but it looks like it wont quite be ready in time. Will probably be one of the first feature updates after launch though. Everything else is still on track.

I mean, when something is described as competitive, it doesn't have to involve money - just the fact of competition. I doubt anyone here assumed BS would rival the literal largest money prize in gaming which is DOTA.

But yeah, whatever - I just thought you didn't know about the leaderboards and whatnot.

But in the same sense the multiboxers can have their own competition for best multiboxing... Which technically needs more skill and therefore a higher ceiling than people who can't do that

You guys seem to be missing the fact that multi boxing is already a thing on OSRS. Means they have to buy three times the bond/membership time.

[Mufasa]

+100 I fully agree with this guy!

But who does multi-boxing affect? Playing for leaderboards is dumb , only for the select few that have nothing better to do in their life and have nothing going on either. If someone essentially wants to have 3 instances at once for nothing else then a XP farm , i guess feel free.

As someone who has nothing better to do in their life and nothing going on either,id like them to make multiboxing against TOS so that we can waste our lives on a dumb leaderboard,thank you very much good sir!

Yeah likely multiboxers have better lives as well if they can pull off things like that so allowing them is better than people who just nolife for leaderboard
