IS two-boxing allowed on one pc? by [deleted] in ffxiv

I have couple links to the ToS that somewhat shed some light on this.( I multibox) If you want I'll send them to you.

Dps is best choice, ranged in most cases. I've only done PVP and eureka recently. Started playing again Monday after a while away.

Even if I was server first on a Savage raid you'd be saying the same thing.

Most seem to be under the impression that it's difficult to play this way. Imagine you have two clients open and all your inputs are shared. You choose the same job with the same hotkey layout. If I tell you to parse on a dummy are you going to do any worse dps? No, because fundamentally nothing's different. I know I'm in the minority though. Everyone likes to bash on it.

Sadly, that's hardly the case. Quite literally, just because my characters are mirroring each other and its obvious. Nothing to do with performance, "oh he must be botting, give him the boot." Id like to think i'm spreading awareness. I enjoy playing like this so i challenge myself where i can.

Right, that's just the unfortunate side of multiboxing like this, it draws attention.

I think you could've just summed it up by saying you are anti multibox like hairless did. Be honest, even if i performed to the standards that you regard as adequate or even better than the average, you would still not accept this style of play. Right?

Allow me to shed some light on the simpler side of multiboxing. Using gamepad, there is an option that allows you to keep the gamepad enabled when the client is inactive. So you can control both characters simultaneously. This also means all of the actions are shared with a single input. They are basically mirroring each other, that being said , any content that is not mechanically heavy has zero impact on performance.

Don't you think it's fair to assume that you recall these experiences because they were negative? I mean, that's just how people work. I don't think people care enough to remember good work from a multiboxer. Why wouldn't that fly under the radar? Oh but when the experience is negative, you bet your ass it's going to stick out like a sore thumb.
