i have a feeling some people dont know what multiboxing is and what the post says about it.

Well, there is multiboxing and multiboxing. Having two accounts to do some stuff more efficiently, like let one character follow the other on WQ or doing stuff on one while waiting in queues on the other is the OK multiboxing. Having fifteen druids collect one herb with one click is the BAD multiboxing. But both of them are multiboxing. That is what some people don't understand.
5 mages in AV 1 shooting me = fair use.5 druids flying around farming herbs to make the AH a mess = fair use.Bots with random names that are using this to break your game and ruin certain economies = fair use. Really starting to tick me off seeing that they were going to "take a stand" and pretty much backed off.
This DOES mean that multi boxing and botting are done for if Blizzard actually takes action. Just having two WoW accounts open and having one account sit around while you actually play the other isn't what people refer to as "multi boxing". If you want to multi box properly you need a keystroke repeater, period.
why people r so dramatic about everything ?
To me it seems a bit of a word play here. What I really read into this is that they will not mass ban the use of third party software but they will use it as an excuse to ban you if they think you are doing something naughty (or probably if you lock down a zone). The key work here is "MAY result", meaning that they will now scan for this kind of software and if you are flagged and do something they don't like they can instantly ban you for breaking the ToS. I guess the best confirmation here will be the warning emails, if they are sent in waves then maybe they will also ban everyone triggering the tripwire, otherwise it just may result in a ban, gamble time :).
I was almost upset, but then I remembered the important factor. Multiboxing isn't a problem on it's own. It's when people use key imput programs that it becomes a problem. So this ToS change should in theory still ban people who multibox Balance druids in the open world, or herbalists in Nazjatar. Meanwhile allowing people who Multibox without malicious actions to keep playing without a hitch.
Did I get this right? The key mirror software, which multiplys an input command to all your alts is prohibited?If yes, good choice Blizz. I dont mind people paying for x accounts at the same time, but playing with a multibox software isnt much different from botting. The only difference was, that only 80% of the inputs were automated and not 100% as in any bot software.I dont see ANY value in multiboxers for the community anyway. They destroy the economy by pushing down all the prices and you dont have any benefit to pvp against a multiboxer either. On PVE they steal your anchor weed, because it despawns right after they pick it.Also now that I think about it. Probably NO mutliboxer actually pays for their account anyway. They just buy the tokens to buy their ingame time. I really wonder, why Blizzard is that greedy. No one wants multiboxers and they dont even generate money for them, besides buying the original WoW copy.
It’s kinda funny seeing so many casuals confuse multiboxing with botting. All those moonkin u see spamming are bots, you thought this change was removing that? Wrong they’ll be there next time you check.
Blizz ToS:You are not allowed to use 3rd programs to get you and advantage of other usersAlso blizz:We are okay with people paying for 20 accounts and pressing 1 button to oneshot you with 20 starsugesMake total sense!
You guys don't understand, multiboxing is the final evolution of goblineering. You're all just little fish in my gold ocean
This is bannable. Well, the using of the separate input software is bannable. Multiboxing is the using of multiple accounts at the same time. Why should this be bannable? If I buy 5 wow accounts and use them "simultaneosly" w/o any software why is it not okay?
That was obvious, isn't it? Like you can log on to your 15 accounts but you can't one click steal all the mats now.
