its not on any chopping block lol
It doesn’t… it allows you to control your computer remotely. The software doesn’t “open wow” your mouse does…

Remote desktop is directly contributing to queue times, due to people in queue not actually at their computer. We all want blizz to fix queue times, but when they actually do something to people skirting the system, “wait not like this.”
Hilarious
Yea I think there is a big difference between using a bot that auto jumps you…
but anyone who is manually logging in and jumping, walking around, casting spells and crafting using remote software isn’t technically doing anything wrong, they are playing the game just not using there computer to play it .

Well no the program dose as your lacking a hardware event but by the law they are not allowed to track hardware events before the game is launched. Once open they can.
No. There is a hardware event. The hardware event is on the remote device which is logged by chrome remote desktop.
They 100 percent are.
As per the anti multiboxing rules you are not permitted to use any program to broadcast a keystroke to the wow client. This is exactly what remote desktops do.
As once in game they are allowed to track hardware events the lack of hardware events on movement is vary easy to see and in fact banable.
Remoting in is legal, using a Remote Desktop to stay loged in is not.
Which is not legal. The hardware event is broadcasted via the Remote Desktop and as such under multiboxing rules is not allowed to be. This can only be seen after the game is lunched thou so while legal to use to login is not to stay loged.
Listen, I don’t wanna be the guy on the forums that says they are in IT or a DEVOP, but the lengths you have to go to determine remote desktop is being ran are incredibly invasive. And even once you’ve determined it’s being ran, you would have no idea if they are using it access your game. What you can see, is how a player is behaving/interacting in the game, they can and might be determining that a player in stormwind pressing jump and casting a spell in the same spot for (2) hours is likely using remote desktop, but that is an in-game determination and has nothing to do with banning remote desktop as a 3rd party application.
They haven’t done anything. They aren’t banning people for remote desktop, if anything they are banning them for in-game behavior.
Never said anyone was being banned. But if they kick people remoting in from across town at work out of the queues, then that’s a big W for the rest of us actually at our computers trying to play.
They won’t kick you for remoting into que as no legal way to tell. Using it to stay loged in after thou is banable and they may start doing so.
Ok so we agree, but you said this, which is why I was adamant.
And blizzard is free to specify which types of third party software they deem appropriate or not. Mouse firmware is fine, but remote desktop is on the chopping block
Using it to stay logged in is bannable, but using it to log in isn’t?
Yes as once in game blizzard can track hardware events legally. They can’t pre that. As such using to login there is no way to tell if it was used to log in. Once in thou it’s easy to tell and as per the multiboxing rules not allowed to broadcast keystrokes.
They would have to actually really really dig tho, sure staying in one place for 2 hours could be detected pretty easily…
but what about anyone who actually walks around, takes flight points, casts spells, crafts things.
If they were just gonna use the client to detect remoting in, as in oh SW for 3 hours DC them and ban its going to be impossible to detect for anyone who actually simulates "playing: without them scanning your computer and such.
which if they dont have anything in place to do this in my opinion as that is what this whole thread is a big opinion piece…it would cost money for them to do this and we all know blizzard like to horde there money.
You realize that simply opening up the game, before the realm list, or character select, you are connected to blizzard servers (just not the realm server yet), right? Therefore, by your definition, using a third party program to “log in” is bannable.
Or do you not think that the login screen is considered “in game?”
I run Chrome Remote Desktop 9 hours a day on my pc cause it’s how I work. I’ve played wow with it open.
Chances are no one is gettinging banned for this. Yes I am aware I’m not remoting into the WoW computer and there is a difference, but I doubt Blizzard is looking for remoting software.

it also doesn’t solve the problem of the massive amount of people that work from home, I can easily log in and never log out as Im actually at my computer and home all day.
should I not be allowed to do that either?
