Guild Wars 2

Is it against ToS if I buy second account and run 2 clients at same time, getting double dailies, 4-manning dungeons and inviting my secondary account to get dungeon daily chest, crafting daily ascended stuff twice and basically moving all wealth to my main account?

You can have multiple accounts as long as each account is controlled separately.

Dual- or Multi-Boxing
You may use more than one account at the same time.
You may use more than one computer at the same time.
You must be actively playing on each account.
And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.
a. For example, if you press W on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.

So killing stuff in dungeon on main account while having secondary account character in party sitting at entrance is ok?

As long as each account is controlled separately. However, your other party members may not appreciate that. .

everything is fine. The only restriction is you can’t click a button and have both client produce an action.

For example you can’t press forward and have both of your account moving forward. You need to click forward on 1 client, and alt tab to the other client and press forward.

Or you can have one client move forward with the w button, and another client move forward with the k button.

Thanks for answers

It’s not against the ToS, although I’d like to see the conversation in which you explain the scenario to your party members. Unless they’re friends or guild members who don’t mind giving you a little boost, I don’t see what incentive they have for playing a person short for your benefit.

Not every party needs five people to tackle a dungeon, but taking on dead weight to line someone else’s pockets? Not a very appealing offer.

My group does this. We have 4 people and clear most dungeons and get an extra 6.5g per person this way. The alt account just sits at spawn while we do everything and split the gold afterwards.

I think it’s allowed, we don’t actually use the account during fights or anything it just sits at spawn.

I wonder how long this would take to pay off, compared with buying gems with the cash you would have spent on the second copy of the game, and then converting gems to gold.

as long as you manually play the character, no botting , should be fine…..

Let’s say you get the game for $25. It’s been on sale for less, and more, so let’s just pick that as an arbitrary “good, but not best-ever deal” on the game. I’m just going to ignore taxes.

1 gold currently costs 12 cents.

$25 = 2,500¢

2,500¢ x (1g / 12¢) = 208g33s33cc

So, you need to make ~209g to make back the money spent on the game. End-of-dungeon rewards vary by dungeon, but most are 1.5g, so…

209g / (1.5g/run) = 139.33runs.

You’d have to run about 140 dungeons this way to make your money back. More if you factor in taxes, less if you pay less for the game or do Aetherpath/Arah. You can factor in other considerations, like login bonuses, faster ascended crafting, etc., but this can give you some frame of reference as far as a dungeon focus goes.

Yeah I run with friends.
