It's reasonable to think that multiclienting would kill the server given the rewards that come from it but I believe it isn't a concern for a game like mabi, especially in this server. Unlike other MMOs mabi pulls off the social aspect impeccably. For example, in PSO2 yes you are forced to run with people - but interact with them? I have never talked to anyone in that game or found the need to. The same goes for FFXIV, BDO, Dragon Nest, etc. Somehow, either from how these games are designed or the community culture that surrounds them; interacting barely goes beyond the baseline of telling people what they need to do for a mission or RP. From personal experience and from everyone I've met on mabi, it seems as if the game naturally draws out the sociability within people.
Let's take for example Chirio who is probably the most notorious for multiclienting here. Despite the fact she runs almost everything by herself and her alts, she still ran Peaca int with the Virus guild (+ Satella), gives enchanting services, and is decently involved with the community. Regardless of multiclienting or not, she also still runs an insane amount of shadow missions and would still be in a position of power regardless.
In regards to the community, I believe that this small community enforces a culture that people would rather run with others than themselves. News travels swiftly in mabi, and swifter still in a small playerbase such as this one. If someone were to refuse running with other people to run with themselves, I doubt it would go over well with the community and themselves. Pariahs do not do so well, especially in this server, as seen by Southgate members getting banned and muted. It could even be added to 1.3a Server Abuse - [Multiple Account Creation] that people reported for running exclusively with themselves could be filed under abuse, but as you can tell I don't see that being an issue for this server and if it is it would be important enough for GMs to take note of reports much like how Southgate was important enough to get banned.
I'd also like to add that if BiTW were 4 people like conflict, then multiclienters would at least be able to take leechers, but then people would complain about leechers as well. People are free to leech as much as people are free to not leech. People are free to multiclient to gain rewards as much as others are also free to not have a single additional account to their name. The only limit is hardware, and how much you're willing to even spam something by yourself.
