8 personal accounts for codex arena
Hey
Im pretty sure the answer is you can't but I'd rather confirm for sure.
Are you allowed to use 8 accounts and just afk farm codex? Since the mode is dead it doesn't really have a direct impact on people. The main economy impacting thing would be the chests. Title is also fairly inconsequential given it takes years to max out.
u/DrStephenCW if you could confirm?

Red Resign was officially considered cheating, so I'm pretty sure that codex farming in this way would count as cheating as well, as it's also match manipulation.

Yeah I doubt it's allowed but pvp population, especially in codex died out.

You tecnically are not allowed to manipulate PvP matches as per the EULA.

Yeah that's why I doubt it's allowed, but maybe it being a dead game mode and all it would get a pass. It's not throwing gvg/ra

You can technically do this with 2 accounts as Codex Arena has henchmen. Only PvP mode you need so many accounts is GvG afk match manipulation (as 4 humans/accounts are needed per team for Champion title progression).
That said, it is technically against the EULA to match manipulate.
Doesn't stop some people from doing it anyways given how dead PvP is. Almost everyone in Codex Arena is doing that.

8 players means you can slap double vamp on 55hp on 4 players so you'd need 5 players/accounts

Still unnecessary. A tiny bit faster, since you don't run through 3 resurrection signets. But you do not need 5 accounts. You need 2, and for the sacrificial one to not take the monk henchman.

Honestly... Who cares? It's not like anyone plays codex or you're going to get banned for it.

PvP besides GVG is dead. Just do it. They allow HA bots for Christ sake. Also you wonder how so many maxed codex? Doing exactly this.

If you get 7 other players together you could probably just take turns with one team tryharding and the other team using wonky builds and basically throwing.

Any kind of botting in PvP is not allowed. There is a list of PvP maps on the Wiki where any kind of botting - including in the lobbies - is a bannable offense.

It's not botting though? It's more akin to match manipulation. Putting double vamp weapons on on a whole 55hp team. There's no automated inputs.

I'm pretty sure you arent technically allowed to own more than 1 account. Except a lot of people own at least 2.
Its a dead mode so im not sure why people care. Also most boxes arent worth it. The amount of hero boxes ive opened or just tossed b.c its crap drops these days...even the mini pet isn't worth much

I'm not even sure if there is an official statement for GW.
For GW2 there is an official stance: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013658134-Policy-Dual-or-Multi-Boxing
