he point is that he convinced a lot of people who otherwise may not have been multiboxing to do so by providing accessible tutorials and highlighting how much progress he made doing it. Taking the most motivated players out of the group pool makes servers worse and eventually becomes a situation that exacerbates itself. No players to group with and more multiboxers around -> more players are willing to multibox because they have less options and it seems more normal. Y'know, the situation being described by Obysuca.
he talked about and handed out invitations to fight club, teaching people how to multibox effeciently and it hurt people who thought they had a monopoly on it, and was reported by a squad of anti multibox JPs who dedicated a twitter account to him, and mercs would come into his stream and say they reported him out of spite.

He taught people how to cheat, and was banned for cheating.
Now he cheats less than he used to, I guess? IDK what his current comeback story is, but if he's 6-boxing content for his followers I very much doubt he's just SUPER GOOD at alt-tabbing.
I know a lot about the limitations of alt-tabbing, I've been alt-tabbing for decades. You ain't doing anything worth a damn with 6 characters on alt-tabs.
I know this isn't gonna be the most popular opinion, but reporting a cheater for cheating shouldn't be taboo. Cheating should be taboo.
To be clear: I'm not a fan of reporting people, personally. I've only done it like once in 20 years, but I don't think it's a bad thing for the community to police shitty behavior. If you don't want to get banned, don't cheat.

my brother in christ all you need to do is watch a single one of his streams to know this is absolute horseshit. Everyone in this thread who multiboxes knows exactly what addons/scripts he's using to do what he does.
this sort of blatant lying is a part of the reason this discussion is even happening

25-30% pocket healer
0-5% on buff job like BRD (tab, hit song macro, tab back), COR (tab, hit roll, tab back) or GEO (tab, indi-whatever or drop bubble, tab back)
Thats your alt-tab 3box. Remember: If you're alt-tabbing, that implies you're not using send.

What I gather from this thread:
1. Y'all really miss Ejin.
2. Windower is for wusses and lesser wimps, as it always has been. #vanillathuglife
3. French let's us bypass that silly filter? Maybe the French aren't so bad after all...

Why build someone up for your static when 9/10 they will disappear in a month or two. At this point you're more likely helping to build up someone else's next alt for multi boxing than a future companion to do content with.

Remember, don't come to Ragnarok, we're full.
Also, I have a hard time expanding my friend group to do content, when everything that matters is only 6 and everyone is hopefully contributing. Why bother bringing in a rando when 4 of the guys you're with have boxes they aren't even bringing just so they can hang out and one of them already is bringing a box because no one wants to play that job on their main? (tank)
Really wish we had alliance friendly content like VoidWatch was. That's where my friend group was largest.
This is my biggest turn off with this game now. Having alliance events was really fun, even stuff that just scales to 18 people is great. Now everything is 6 man or bust and.... we have new Limbus *sigh*

That's an objectively true statement. Anything alliance-friendly just turns into leeching and buying.
Limbus is just so bad it doesn't encourage anyone. Pretty sure that's even worse, but it's what SE was willing to do.
Alliance content that is difficult enough to actually need 16-18 or scales in a way that isn't easy to game and has good rewards would be amazing. The needle is just too hard to thread, so SE isn't going to gamble on it.

Yeah, and what was the last true alliance content that was "hard" enough that you needed all the bodies? You got punished for Reisenjima HELMs and probably could do most with ~12 (Albumen was a biotch); those were pretty hard at first, but you didn't really need 16-18. Dynamis-D Wave 3 boss was pretty hard before the insane gear creep. It's been a while since anything really required a full cast.
Hardest fight that comes to my mind as needing 18 bodies was OG Divine Might (not the BLM nuke squad version). 6/18 of your team was tanks and healers.

Isn't htbf DM2 also 18 person?
Original DM melee style was a blast tbh. Basically 5 fights in one, some done at the same time while others kited.
Other than some extreme solo NM fights DM was the most fun fight of the 75 era for me.

Nah, recollections of 75 content are incredibly misleading just by virtue of how disorganized most people were. We did it with 10 or 11 more than once.
I don't think groups got much below 18 on original delves. I recall selling a few with 16 people in the sale group, but buyers were expected to be GEO or do something so it wasn't really 16man.
Obviously after the HP adjustment they turned into merc heaven.

They both are, but OG was back at 75 cap, HTBF was 99. Think we shot the 99 versions down with RNG. 75 you had to split up across the arena and tank/hold the different AAs (leaving AATT in the circle by himself)

Oh I forgot this one. Delve was 18 for most part. Remember this. TTOF on Lakshmi was only able to carry one person at a time. I think I had to play COR or something and rolls support.

Voidwatch was alliance content, a good way to incorporate a wider variety of jobs outside of the meta, demanded everyone to pay attention without being overly hard, was pick up friendly and afaik wasn't merc content.

My memory of Voidwatch fights is a handful of people actually doing all the work while everyone else was brought on just to be a proc ***.

There's no win condition.
It's either good and its sold or its ***and no one does it. There's no state of being where alli content is something people want to participate in. They just want the ***from it or the gil from selling it to the friendless.
Alliance content with 18 happy participants IS peak fantasy. It can't exist.
VW is about as close as you got. If you were ***, you could be blu blm pup nin and still contribute. Without procs you died. They mattered as much as deeps and buffs and heals.
(The very first Tojil delves were too, but that fell off nearly instantly with the first brotixur obtainment.)

Original Dyna was 64-characters max, if you recall.
Back in the day we had three full alliances the first time we took down OG Dynamis Lord.
They were blm armies and a couple Plds getting the stuff kicked out of them, but still, 64 person fight is 64 person fight. Real people too, not alts.

My memory of Voidwatch fights is a handful of people actually doing all the work while everyone else was brought on just to be a proc ***. If you identify the parse leaders as the ones doing the "work", sure. You have to consider though that people had to bring their 4th or 5th choice job to cover the procs, of course those wouldn't compete in the parse.
At least everyone had to pay attention to the chat log to tell the rest of the group the relevant triggers, everyone could contribute even without top notch gear. It was the best compromise in FFXI's history for alliance content.
You could also turn the argument and say those leading the parse got all the fun cause they could DPS on their mains while the rest had to take one for the team.

I use to shout and organize VW all the time. I loved the concept even though people complained about the individual reward system. When someone got an item twice and you still didn't get it. To me you either got it or you didn't what other people got wasn't important so I never understood those complaints.
I do remember having a specific set of jobs I would look for like 2 BLU's to split the proc spells they had, about 2 BLMs, different Melee to go through their WS's when we got a hint on what the proc was. A tank, I remember Aegis tanks became very strong again when they adjusted it to MDT II around VW time. BRD, Healers. What was rarely sought after was BST / THF / PUP. But BST and THF were popping off in dyna around this time too so while they weren't really needed for VW they were still used a lot.
Then just pop your temps keep eye out from hints. Try for procs and then build a ragnarok to spam resolution LOL.
The Ragnarök server as you all may know is avoided by many players.
Why you may ask?
Upon stepping into this server you will notice everyone is followed around by a whole army of bots. Sure, that's okay if you want to clear content until you speak to one of these people. Ragnarok server players all for some reason seem to share the same personality. They are incredibly anti-social and act like know-it-alls. They act superior while regurgitating all the info they read online. There is no originality or thought process inside any of them.
They seem to speak the same way, and even share the same insults. It goes even further in their ignorance of the game where they cannot grasp basic mechanics of nuances of jobs outside of BLU and SAM. This is the server that will crap-talk you for playing PUP while you shit on their DPS solo w/ trusts against their bot army.
You begin to wonder.... why does everyone act like a copy-paste AI version of BG, FFXIAH, and Reddit? Upon further investigation, you notice that the server trolls congregate into one location. The Leafkin LS and Ejiin's Twitch stream, to be exact. You spend about 20 minutes in his stream, and you realize why all of these people bot all day, play the same 3 jobs, and crap talk anything their pea-brained, unemployed, high-school-educated streamer can't understand.
This community has ruined ragnarok and turned it into the most anti-social server. So, when you notice that everyone avoids Ragnarok and it ends up never being locked due to a population increase, that's probably why.
You literally cannot be friends with any of these losers because they think that acting normal is being some elitist asshole in a 20-year-old game in maintenance mode.
AVOID THIS SERVER AT ALL COSTS
