It’s not cheating if the game maker says it’s not cheating

one GM’s opinion is not official policy.

that’s not at all clear. what he most likely meant is that it’s possible you might get falsely banned even if you’re not using software, so if you want to be completely sure you never get in trouble, don’t take a chance.

An under-informed GM that clearly doesn’t understand how hardware solutions for multiboxing work does not supersede the official policy.
Also, your single input via keyboard and mouse use software.
Computer hardware does not generally do much without software besides consume electricity.

Clearly ‘Battlefield Earth’ holds that honor…especially when you factor in budget & actors.

is playing 3 open screens with 0 buttonsharing considered multiboxing? asking for a friend
I didn’t steal that money, I’m just borrowing it with no intention of ever giving it back. Therefore, me taking it is not theft.
I’m not running a pyramid scheme. I’m just running a roughly pyramid-shaped business.
I didn’t lie about having an affair. I wasn’t technically in bed with her when I told you I wasn’t seeing anyone else, and she wasn’t in my field of vision at the time.
If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.
If it controls multiple characters at once and issues commands to multiple character with a single button press, it’s against the TOS.

Wrong.
Software that does that is banned, Multiboxing is still allowed including using hardware.

Playing more than one character at the same time is multiboxing, by definition, and multiboxing is not bannable. So far the only change to the original TOS that permits multiboxing is that using input broadcasting software to mirror keystrokes will be actionable. There is no mention of hardware solutions or of just opening multiple clients at once and putting them on follow to a lead.
P.S. The far bigger problem at the moment is the bots that are being used for leveling and farming. So far I’ve reported 5 and all 5 accounts have been actioned.

the highlighted part of that screenshot is actually quite terrifying.
it’s been a while since i’ve opened a ticket, but it looks like basic language skills have taken a real dive.

If you open 2 instances of wow you are multiboxing. Some people like to throw extra stipulations in there like “you have to be using software” but software isn’t required.
More than 1 client = multiboxing.
It’s even defined by Blizzard in their support article
Multiboxing, or playing multiple World of Warcraft accounts at once, is not a violation of our End User License Agreement. Please note, however, that use of input broadcasting software may result in account penalties.
As it says, multiboxing is not against the rules because it’s defined as “multiple world of warcraft accounts at once” and not “using software to control multiple world of warcraft accounts”. This is why they can ban the software and still allow multiboxing but some people think you need to use software to multibox which is false.

Right? it’s clearly the best one around to those with fine taste. I bet they will say Army of darkness with Bruce campbell is bad too.
Use it at your own risk and don’t complain when you get banned. You have already been warned and you are willfully ignoring OP’s conversation with a GM.

That looks photoshopped. Multiple spelling and grammar errors in the supposed GMs response.
I call BS on this.

Anything that makes multi-boxing harder, as long as it doesn’t impact people who aren’t multi-boxing. Is welcome.
Someone get this man a cookie.
