GM: "Don't use *HARDWARE* input broadcasting to multibox, either, if you care about your account."

I mean, I’ve been right click report > cheating on multiboxers that obviously are pressing one button for more than 2 characters (I’m sorry, but there’s no way for you to instantly cast the same spell on 4 characters back to back to back without some sort of input software, even if it’s hardware running on said software), and my mailbox on an alt is filled with “Thank you for your report, your report resulted in actions taken against a player. Unfortunately we cannot give you specifics, blah blah blah”

What the hell is that mess?

It’s not good to spread misinformation.

All hardware solutions that I am aware of do not broadcast keystrokes to multiple WoW clients. (which the GM implies you are asking about).

That would be more inline with hardware generated macros.

I feel like you were desperately trying to get a “gotcha” and failed miserably.

I still multibox as I always have. One leads and solos content, the others follow. So not all multiboxing has been stopped.

How does anyone use actual hardware to get the similar result of input broadcasting software with multiboxing?

My guess is that they are just asserting that they use hardware to get around tos when they still use the software.

Clearly this was written by someone whose native language is not English. Small indie company has farmed out this to a subcontractor in a third world company.

Each computer uses the same keyboard input.

I studied linguistics. Those kinds of errors just jumped out at me. They aren’t typos.

Are you playing the game on a PC?

You’re using software.

Windows drivers are not broadcasting software, no matter how much B.S. you try to justify to yourself.

That mess is the OP making crap up to cause division on the forum.

In my experience, GMs and customer support never call the game “WoW”, but always by its full name, “World of Warcraft”.

I don’t understand why you care so much about multiboxxers. All they do is make the price of consumables lower. It literally makes the game easier for everyone.

Do boxxers earn much more net profit potential for the same amount of time playing the game?

Yes. Still have a problem.

That’s chill, and I can understand your frustration… but don’t you think someone who puts in the time and effort to rig up and play 5 toons deserves the reap some rewards for it? Like if all they did was farm and nothing else I could understand getting mad but most of them seem to do everything from dungeons to pvp to even raids. That is some seriously hard content to box and worthy of respect, imo.
