Again this thread is not about if you should multibox, if it will be legal, or how you feel its bad. It is simply to show it can be done since I have had several request from many sites asking about it. If you have questions or whould like to see a different class let me know. If it is just going to turn into a thread crap fest then I will not be back.
Then your post is pointless, because it was already blatantly evident it could be done.
I hate multi-boxers. Its like the ultimate FU in gaming.
I get to cheat because I have more money to waste.
And as far as i am aware, multi-boxing is not cheating, the software used is in no way interacting with D3's executable, its simply recording the input from PC#1 and transferring it to PC's #2 and #3.
No blizzard doesnt consider it cheating, because it makes them money. So they don't care.
But from a player to player perspective it is most certainly a cheat. It gives you a huge advantage over other players, which is by definition cheating.
Case in point. " at lvl 9 when i killed Sk for the first time I had 80k gold, 95 blue mats and 10 gold ones. This is without any grinding or stacking any gold find. I just threw on whatever blue they had and went on."

if someone wants to buy the game 4 times and play solo 24/7 and gear 4 of each class. more power to them. and good luck because that will be tedious as hell and a waste of time.

Its not a waste of time because they are going to get 2-3 times as much gold & items as you or I playing separately.

Exactly my thought. Double and up boxing in D3, for inferno at the very least, will be near impossible. So if someone wants to pay that much money, more power lol.
Inferno is going to have at least 4 affix champions. You really think you can control 4 toons, when that champion can do anything from stunlock, to fear, to slow, teleport on you, the list goes on. Anyone doing this will be out of sync in no time flat. Now of course it'l be 'doable' to a degree, but I really don't see this as an advantage at all, nor even close to optimal for farming.

uhm no. they have 4 classes on 4 accounts to gear and buy shit for. they cant freely pass gear or gold from one toon to another because they are across accounts. IMO itll be WAYYY harder to gear 4 characters whiel multi boxing then just 1 character. because in all your searching with 4 chars you might find that 1 legendary axe but you can only give it to 1 of your 4 guys

this too. if you think you can multi box inferno your effing high. you need your classes to work together helping not doing the same abilities at once. and if your characters are all on top of eachother and some mob drops a big AOE, you just wiped all 4 of your guys. instead of maybe just 1 dying then the other 3 players can revive you and help. like i said. waste of time and money to do this.

You made me think of this. It's not meant to be mean I just thought it was funny.

This is crazy talk... Drinking alone doesn't mean you're an alcoholic... It just means you're thirsty ; )
Could you multibox 3 DHs? I would love to see a room fill up with chakrams and just cut everything to pieces!
I am making the video right now for you. Its lvl 5s, I will get them to SK here soon and post a new one after that. I have the wiz ones loading right now.
So let me get this straight... you have 3 Beta accounts and you use them to multibox?!
Thats F'ed up man. There are tons of people wanting to try out the beta and your rich ass somehow got 3. AND YOUR USING THEM TO MULTIBOX!
Unbelievable.

Blizzard used to care about releasing Diablo III, then they all took an arrow in the knee...
I am pretty sure addon's or scripts that modify the game are highly against the EULA for D3. Reason being - RMAH, no one will have an advantage due to addon support or something that easily tabulates data for you.
Interesting. I will make note of this in case I have need of it in the future, As long as an action is legal (Defined by Blizzard), maximising its use for profit is necessary for profit maximisation.

I have more than 3, but all have gone out to friends. My main account has been in since November while the others got in in dec and jan. I have given them all away for people to play. For this I simply used my account, my wife's account, and one of my friends who is on vacation. Not sure why all my accounts got in, but I did spread the wealth.

I have a feeling that your right and that inferno will be either impossible or take forever. But then again i felt people would never be able to multibox instances or arena in wow.
Also while I don't plan on even multiboxing, I think the people who are planning on doing it will be using it to farm gold or to sell max level characters. There are good farm locations in the game to make tons of gold and 4 chars means 4x the gold. I really don't know how profitable the RMAH will be but I am sure someone is going to make some decent $ on it. Mats and gold will be much easier and consistant to farm than inferno, so multiboxers will most likely do that instead.
