One other thing that pissed me off with ED, and then I'm done.
Multiboxing. Multiboxing is legal and I don't hate that in general. But it's a PvP server so you can imagine the headaches that it can cause. The server rule is that multiboxed characters aren't allowed to engage in PvP, or the accounts get perma banned.
But here's the reality.
If you are dual boxing and you bounce between characters (one fighting and one healing, say), tabbing between them, then that's legal. Seriously.
Meanwhile, if the multiboxer is running 5 characters in a group using a mirror action key program, they can respond to your attack with whatever character in their group that they want.
So, you see 5 toons in the distance that are multiboxed. You decide to commit to killing the lead character that the other 4 are copying. You burn resources in attacking that character, and on your damage log you have taken no damage from the enemy 5 characters. The player then decides to take their 4th or 5th toon of the group to attack you. Your resources are committed already, but he doesn't care.
GM's think this is legit. So basically, open world pvp has multiboxers holding the advantage with their blessing. Fuck that.
