Noone killed ao, the reason ao is going to die is because it dont evolve healthy and keep up with time, just like everything else that dies.

Anyone remember mirc? Back in the days people would flame me to death if i didnt type mIRC correctly and everyone using it for chatting, exchange pictures, asl?, cyboring, downloading music, movies, porns etc nowdays noone use it anymore, it should have evolved to what facebook is today at least.

Anyone remember napster? It could have evovled and become spotify but it didnt.

Anyone remember dcplusplus? It could have evovled and become bittorent for example
Just a few example why stuff dies.

What are you talking about irc is still in use and awesome.

Im talking about stuff that dont grow or expanding, but instead shrinking into oblivion.

You pay for those accounts, that's your perogative. But what you have done by doing that is shut 5 potential players out of the equation for your own benefit. This could be interpreted as greedy or selfish, but it's neither really, it's just stopping other people from participating.

Kinda calling BS on this one, 1 person doing collector MB has absolutely NO bearing on 5 other people wanting to do collector and finding a 6th man. 1 person MB to kill a dyna also has NO bearing on 5 other people trying to kill the same boss any different than just regularly being multi logged alt-tab-hotkey alpha.

d)Rebalancing encounters accordingly. This involves maybe the development of encounters with mechanics that exclude single boxes, such as 42 (on a smaller scale of course).

Might be late on this one, but I think there are people that can MB one side in s42. So unless you mean something more like Nerveta area where u have to kill off each side/middle to get through gate? Is that B or C?

Truth be told the easiest way to kill this off would be to prevent multilogging altogether, and implement things like org city twink rooms to assuage the need for buff toons.

Another late one for me, but multilogging for most is not about buffing but about having additional BANK space. How does this solution fix that?

Not at all. You just packaged something that has been around quietly for YEARS. You gave the forum crawlers something to QQ about that they would not have otherwise known.

How is doing current end-game content with 1 person instead of 6, not affecting other players ability to participate? What if I multiboxed Gauntlet on my own and shut out a load of others who wanted to do it, would I still not be affecting them?

You're walking down the exact same path as the piracy arguments here. You're talking about "potential invites". If a person is running 6 accounts and running team instances, that doesn't mean that he would have invited 5 random people to come along if he didn't have the capability to hexa-log. Hell, logging six accounts isn't pleasant even if you have a super beefy computer and really fancy software to help, most of the intense multi-loggers I know will happily have 1-3 people along if it means they can focus on fewer characters. You can't claim that it "shuts out" anyone because there's literally no way to prove that, it's entirely likely that the same person who runs 6 accounts would simply not run the content at all if limited to 1.

Gauntlet is the example you give? If one person boxed can navigate fire room and beat a team of 5 or 6 individuals, that is natural selection lol. It also is a whole heck of a lot more skill than the avg player that can't handle 1 toon in there.

lol. you can dual log gauntlet. no boxing required.
