This number keeps going up daily.
I’m not saying there aren’t bots, but 50% just seems absurd. I highly doubt that there are hundreds of thousands of bots.
On top of that, it’s two separate issues. Just because I’m focused on one right now, does not mean I just somehow support at worst, or ignore at best the botting issues in the game as well.
Never forget Swifty supporting that boxer, so we hopped to Darkspear and camped Swifty and that boxer in Storm Shield or whatever the alliance city was below Ashran.
I may not be in the guild, or ED anymore, or even on retail for that matter, but Warsong Battalion for life baby.

Oh and never forget our weekly kill the leaders run, where that same boxer cornered us in IF’s council room, crashed the entire zone, and we managed to log in before he did, kill him, kill the Alliance wpvp guilds that were also there, and kill the council.
Or the time they crashed our RP event on the Zeppelin in Icecrown, and we slaughtered them in RP gear after the zone reset.
Boxers used zone disruption constantly because they got big mad they couldn’t steam roll us like they could others.
And I’m tired of these players getting mad that the rest of the playerbase doesn’t have to put up with their nonsense anymore.

Multiboxing is something that should’ve been cracked down on long ago.
It’s quite literally P2W.

This is why Blizzard stepped in.
All the fans of boxing - I’m sorry that your fellow enthusiasts ruined it for all of you.
Blame people that get all up in their feefees instead of actually getting gud.

I’m not. Boxers did it for far too long, and it was known. The only variable was how many was being used in the boxing. It started with a guy double boxing mages for some wpvp shenanigans, because he couldn’t 1v1 and win. Then lets see if a boxer can 5 man an instance solo, then lets see a boxer do a raid solo. Then lets see if a boxer can run his electric bill to a new record.
The game never should have been at the mercy of players willing to shill out multiple monthly subs for an edge over others.

I can understand that.
But I’m kinda on the fence with this one.
There’s players I’ve known that have done it and when they got blown up, resolved to do better/try again, not kick the dog and go for the disconnect. I don’t personally see the attraction but if they want to shell out the money for it and aren’t complete trogs to other people then live and let live I guess.
But the guy you and I are talking about (he’s not the only one) is a toxic mess and he pushed it too far. He and others like him can get yeeted into the sun. But the player that wasn’t trying to be a infamous tryhard and just play his 2-5 man team also got the same treatment as the sad sacks who ruined it for everyone. Feels (kinda) bad man.

I feel what you’re saying. I used to feel the same way. Used to.
I want to see the good in people, I really do, but after doing LEO work, and seeing the extent of wow degeneracy, it’s 100% the right option to just stop it.
Couple that with these pillars Blizz has, and multiboxing goes against the social experience. Why talk to people when you can just solo end game content, even if that end game content is just a trivial normal mode Nexus. (I know, not even a heroic, but for a world of this size, the start of Northrend is the start of the end game experience.)
RIP to those who just wanted to push their own limits, it does suck for them, but they have to be collateral damage to help curb the trogs who abuse it.

I did a lil digging through threads, found a comment from you.
Makes sense why you’re so defensive.

Hold up is this guy the same guy?
Hey, thanks for all the free hks because you couldn’t react fast enough to death grips and gorefiends grasp.
Thanks for listening to D7, Warbringers, and the other baddie alliance wpvp guilds and actually came to ED. You got us the first time, ngl, caught us lackin.
We caught you ever other time though.
GG EZ.
edit: You actually unironically need to be banned. The amount of times you caused deliberate zone disruption is against TOS. It’s a bannable offense.
You should have been gone a long time ago.

Unironically did more digging. Wasn’t him, was another 80+ boxer from Darkspear named Malseph.
That said, Malseph does have a video of him stomping OP.
Both scum though.

Biggest true. Watching Malseph’s videos. He has a few where he “beats” WSB, but leaves out the bulk of his interactions with us in WoD, which was him getting stomped then ddosing the server via toys to escape.
Actual baddies.

While I don’t get behind the dramatic leaving posts on the forums, I also miss being allowed to use broadcasting software.
I have two accounts, and it added some variety to play for me. I liked being able to tank AND heal a dungeon with a tank with a priest in tow, and it’s so much more clunky to have to alt/tab to do the same, and no self-respecting group would put up with that sort of thing.
I think that it’s a shame that it went away – I never found the hardcore multiboxers especially disruptive in PVP as people seem to complain.
It would have been better if Blizzard has addressed whatever the exploit was that had to be closed via this change. It felt a bit unfair to have spent more than a decade building up two accounts to dual box only to be told it was illegal, after being assured it was totally Kosher for the best part of a decade and a half.

Not quite blizzard never stated it was totally kosher.
They did have having or using multi accounts at the same time was and that is still true today.
Blizzard always had a stance that broadcast tools was a grey area. Can’t find a single quote of them calling broadcasting kosher. Can find quite a few examples of blizzard thou mentioning it as a grey area that stretches the one action per key stroke rule. Blizzard used to tolerate that stretching and has just changed there minds in it. Never was it totally kosher thou.
The expoilt is what they addressed the fact players where taking more than one action from a single keystoke that was the rule since the start of wow that defined if something was legal for not for macros and addons. They have just clarified the rule to extend accross multi accounts that was the grey area of before.
You can still use broadcast software if you want so long as it only sends to one client at a time ie one action per keystoke.
There were heaps of posts where people complained about the specific mechanics of keycloning and other broadcasting software and blue posters clearly stated that this did not violate the ToS. I can’t be bothered dredging it up now, but I remember the threads well.
I’m not a multiboxer in the traditional sense - but I miss being able to play a bit differently.
