Dredhollow, Revendreth is infested with dual boxers

Community General Discussion

That area is infested dual boxers going around gathering herbs and ores. I’m in Stormrage and I see many Horde boxers from another realm phased into our server and just farming with two accounts.

I know playing multiple clients is not against the rules but I see two players, one stag form and one riding on the stag gathering from a single node 0.25 to 0.5 seconds apart. I’m not sure if these boxers got smart and used some anti-ban feature to delay the mirroring of keystrokes to make it look less obvious, but I don’t think anyone legitimately playing two accounts without 3rd party software can herb/mine on two characters that fast.

Some of these boxers also use a different class toon, or even different realm to make it less obvious.

Blizz, I hope you can take a look at this particular location because it is crazy infested with suspicious players.

You can easily multibox and farm nodes without the use of any input software. I run a 5 player setup and it’s all hardware based and 100% legal.

Back in Legion my husband and I did that, he was a Druid I was a DH, we could both take the node at the same time, was especially great for farming Starlight Rose in Suromar.

Editing to add, we each had our own accounts, it wasn’t ‘boxing’ of any kind, just very efficient.

I saw a guy 5 boxing druids in bastion, farming herbs. Guess what I saw? I saw him obeying the rules.

One druid picked the herb. A second later the next. A second later the next - etc. He obviously had “pick herb” hotkeyed to different keys so that 1 key = 1 druid picking.

Seems perfectly legit and new rules compliant to me.

I mean, it sounds like they click, alt tab, click again. You can do that in 0.25-0.5 seconds.

Make sure to report them in game, and Blizz can investigate if it’s a software or manual input.

Nerf druids? Nerf druids.

Funny that it’s always druids, maybe Mana management and shape shifting cost Mana were still things for non resto druids it’d be harder for them to bot quite so easily, of course then they’d just go to hunters instead.

Blizzard needs to stop being so damn cheap and have some actual game masters again, they make millions and we know their developers don’t make enough to survive in california to begin with, it can’t be that hard to hire a couple guys to swap between servers all day in certain locations to check for bots.

How does one keybind a “pick herb” key?

You just can’t run the software on your PC at the same time as wow, even if you tell the software to not broadcast. the software running in the background will get you banned.

Alt+Tab is really fast once you understand how to go through 5 windows.

I think that if they changed it so that picking flowers knocked druids out of travel form you would stop seeing druids and just see people with the robot mount thing.

Yea, even if they hamstrung druids there’s plenty of other methods for them to choose from, druid is just the cheapest choice.

There are several legal ways to multibox without the use of software. You can run several devices from one keyboard and mouse is one of the ways.

I think most of these haters just see someone else hating about boxing and jump on the bandwagon and havent ever actually seen ANY real effect on THEIR game over boxing, lol.
My wifes dog she owned when we met just barked and barked and barked. Just to hear herself bark. Didnt know what she was barking at. She just wanted to hear her own bark all day and night.
Same thing here with most of these box haters.
