One is being stated…other is being proven.
I shared the only piece of info we officially have from them.
Will you be so kind as to share an official position of blizzard on this issue that clearly mentions this being applied to D2R? Because as for now I am reluctant to believe that multiboxing using vm’s or physical boxes is more than just tolerated by blizzard, while other methods are straight out banned. This piece of proof would surely convince me it is 100% not against tos while implemented without messing with the register entrys.
Again this doesn’t change the fact that people can be banned for multiboxing while achieving this by the use of process explorer.
I know this thread. I really don’t see clear whats their position is on D2R.
As you can see, even the op is presuming that this policy in wow applies across all their portofolio.
Note that despite the green text, MissCheetah is not a blizzard employee and all he can do is make educated guesses when data is incomplete.
This is precisely what I was trying to tell you. They DO ban for multiboxing facilitated by ANY software.
This wasn’t an “educated guess”. It was copied directly from Blizzard Support.
No, you said “they get banned for it”. You then threw in the caveat they ban for multiboxing with “process explorer”. And later again said “multiboxing can get you banned”. All three are not true because they do not ban for multiboxing.
They only ban for hardware or software that some people use to facilitate multiboxing, which is a completely separate issue from multiboxing because you can multibox without violating their policies.
Playing D2R isn’t bannable. Playing D2R with maphack is bannable.
Playing D2R isn’t bannable. Playing D2R with pickit is bannable.
Playing D2R while multiboxing isn’t bannable. Using software or hardware to facilitate of multiboxing" is bannable.
See the trend?
It’s a bit comical and somewhat baffling that you think you’re right here.
You still failed to show be an official Blizzard position on multiboxing regarding D2R.
I can agree that they allow multiboxing for Wow under certain conditions…but the fact that they have the same position for D2R is only an assumption. This was the educated guess I was talking about:
Don’t spin my words like a politician. I wasn’t calling and educated guess the fact that multiboxing is allowed in wow. That is known. The unknown is their position regarding multiboxing in D2R.
I would recommend against using multiboxing in D2r until further clarification.
For Diablo III, multiboxing walks the strange line of being something we technically allow, but don’t officially support.
For clarity, players are allowed to have multiple Battle.net accounts, and each of them can have a Diablo III: Reaper of Souls license (one per account). There is no limit to the number of Battle.net accounts a single user can have, so long as no more than three of them have Battle.net Balance***** . There is also no restriction to how many of these accounts can be online at once, but the methods to do so may not be supported. We do not support third-party software, and third-party software that automates gameplay is not allowed. Accounts found to be using third-party software that automates gameplay risk being closed, possibly permanently.
In other words, you can have multiple accounts, and you can be online with all of them at one time. We don’t support multiboxing in Diablo III, however, and some software used to facilitate multiboxing may violate our policies, so do so at your own risk.
****** Please note that this clarification is not reflected within the EULA and TOU at this time. We will be updating both documents in the near future to correct this.*
Most probably it’s the same situation with D2R. Most probably…
It’s still a very grey area, and as mentioned in the post above, multiboxing is done at your own risk.
That’s all I was trying to point out all along. It’s not a clear, black or white situation.
It seems blizzard wants to keep it in a grey area if after so long they didn’t clarify it.
Until than I hold my opinion that’s it’s not advisable to multibox and if you do the possibility of getting banned exists as it is not clear at all what is allowed or not. We can only speculate until further clarification.
personaly they have a update 6 month ago , yes is wow , multibox have a huge impact in wow killing raid of 20 player and more also wow have healer class compare diablo 2 dont , mean you become invincible for pvp and also farming $$$ , if multiboxing is allow in wow diablo have any reason too dont have it , multibox have little impact in diablo
but is allow on the new bnet launcher , sure not being lazy they will give some clarification for every game . ,
So your take is that, because they don’t specifically speak in support of multiboxing, that they can ban you for it.
In reality, and legally speaking, if they don’t specifically call out multiboxing as against their policy, they can’t legally ban you for it. Take in the precedence of their other games allowing for it and they would have no leg to stand on.
So you are still wrong. They do not ban for multiboxing.
This is not a debate about being right or wrong. Here you are arguing about semantics without actually bringing anything productive to the debate. Unless you have some academic background in Law, I wouldn’t speculate about legal implications.
We are debating the official position of Blizzard on this issue having in mind the present ambiguity regarding this subject. Let the grownups discuss if you don’t have anything to add other than what your inflated ego dictates you.
Take a note from Charley222’s book. We don’t agree on all subjects, but our purpose here is just to get at the bottom of this issue. It’s not about who is right and wrong. It’s about discovering the truth.
You are just obsessed on having the last word and receiving validation. This is sad. Get well, Lumpus!
Of course you can. As I told you, I know people who did it and got banned and look what an official Blizzard employee says about multiboxing in D3:
We don’t support multiboxing in Diablo III, however, and some software used to facilitate multiboxing may violate our policies, so do so at your own risk.
This is clear. We are now trying to unfold what is blizzard’s true position on multiboxing in D2R .
You are so focused on solely proving me wrong that you fail to see the forest for the trees.
Again…until an official statement we can only continue to speculate.
Until than I recommend you to have a look at the link bellow:
No, you know people that were banned for process explorer. They just happened to be using it to multibox, which was irrelevant to why they were banned.
“We” are not trying to unfold anything. You are simply looking for a way out for your ridiculous claims.
You’re so focused on not admitting a mistake, you’re trying to create a forest around your stupidity.
You “speculate” to avoid being wrong. There is no speculation. They don’t call it out as being against their policy. They allow it in other games including D3. You are simply looking for a way out.
I have never seen someone work this hard to keep an ignorant statement valid. It’s truly amazing.
Whatever floats your boat, dude. Don’t burn a fuse on my account. You are right…you are the boss…what else do you want to hear to sooth your bruised ego? :))
I advise not to multibox, though. It might get you banned! Not worth the risk!
It’s because you have nothing that you have to resort to things like pretending I’m “burning a fuse” or “the boss”. The only person working here is you working to keep from admitting you made a stupid comment, then arguing that stupidity.
How about this. Prove you know people that were banned for multiboxing and I will happily admit I was mistaken, because that’s what adults do.
Are you referring to the fact that multiboxing is not officially supported by blizzard for d2r and that people who do it expose themselves to the risk of being banned?
That’s undeniable as showcased in the replies above. I really begin to miss your point.
I’m not trying to convince you not to multibox, but don’t come back complaining if you get banned.
They definitely don’t. Prior to Dec 2016 we were only allowed to connect 4 sets of D2 game keys to bnet, They then changed it to 8. During that patch they said the use is VMs are allowed. What’s never been allowed is loaders that load multiple copies of the same game keys. If anyone is getting banned while multiboxing, you are right, they are getting banned for software separate from the VM software. I still multibox on bnet playing D2LoD ladder. If WW wasn’t broken I’d be multiboxing D2R.
This is a logical fallacy. Multiboxing is allowed in D2 and D3, there is nothing to suggest it isn’t allowed in D2R. In D2 they increased the number of key sets from 4 to 8 in Dec 2016.
Your desire to prevent players from multiboxing is not a reflection of how the game is allowed to be played.
