By definition, that which is allowed under the rules, TOS and the company holding the license, is not “exploitation.”
Get a dictionary.
There’s no unfair benefit or advantage - any player can MB.

Isn’t that just being the leader of the group? If it’s a group, there’s a coordinated effort and the leader is calling the shots via voice comm, how is that really any different?
It’s not just that. Playing multiple toons is less efficient than the same number of toons controlled by separate individuals.

20 people compared to 1 person controlling 20. Hell I’ve seen 60 mans with PreparedWoW that went on for a ridiculous amount of time.
That probably is true, but try explaining that to people who just like to argue without being armed with facts and information.
One person even believes that if you can pay for MB subs, it’s P2W. LOL. Can’t reason with unreasonable people.

Who are you that anyone should have to demonstrate why doing something that’s perfectly well within the ToS isn’t bad to your satisfaction?
I’ll help you with the answer; no one. The company that owns and runs the game says it’s ok. It’s therefore ok.

You know those tokens cost $20, right? So you also must know that someone using tokens for game time is putting an extra $5 in Blizzard’s pocket every month.
Right?

There are people who are angry about a lot of things. Some of their anger is about actual problems with the game. Then we have people like the ones who complain about multiboxing. They just know that it’s wrong, even if they have absolutely no clue as to how multiboxing works. That’s not something that needs to be taken seriously by anyone.
An allowed, but unsupported, style of gameplay.

Blizzard doesn’t allow multiboxing because of any money they get from it, which is an astronomically small amount compared to the rest of their games. They allow it because it doesn’t break any rules.

The trouble with these multiboxing threads is that it is so difficult to determine whether the anti-MB posters are just trolling or if they’re actually that painfully obtuse.
They ask for links, links are provided. ‘Yeah, well, that link is 7 years old.’
New link is provided, only 2 years old. ‘Doesn’t count, that blue was obviously wrong.’
Yet another link is posted, to a support article updated 4 months ago. Unacknowledged.
TL;DR - People complain about something that isn’t against the rules, without understanding (or even wanting to) how the thing works or why it isn’t against the rules.

Each 
account is paid for!
Using a program to maximize that is no different than addons… try it, you would probably have fun!

For once, I would just love to see one of these anti MB’ers take the time, money and energy to actually learn about set up and use a MB’ing setup after whining about MB’ers.
Actual knowledge is a powerful thing. It beats emotional and ignorant every time.

I 100% agree! It’s been very rare that someone with MB experience will share the simplicity of commands and keybinds.
And another previous reply is correct. A bot functions on its own without user interaction, usually within a time limit hard-coded in according to when the game will time out, and because it is has to alter the game code to do just that (unlike an addon that uses a Blizzard API in order to function) and is not user-interaction dependent, it is a violation of ToS.
A multi-boxer of 2, 5, or however many paid accounts requires user-interaction. I follow many multiboxer’s for economic advice pertaining to WoW’s financial market. None of them operate more than 1 additional account (for a total of 2 accounts). One of their accounts operates as the financial analyst on the AH, and the other enjoys M+. I’ve never experienced multiboxers with more than 2 accounts, so this discussion that’s continued with @Pikkarg’s input has been very insightful and enjoyable. And I still don’t think anything wrong with it. He’s paying for his accounts, he’s using most of the resources he gathers himself, physically moves his toons with commands and keybinds, and he’s definitely not impacting economy, being he’s not a WoW Billionaire.
They actively support the development of third party tools, so yeah they do support it. The only case in which i agree that multiboxing is somewhat bad is in terms of the games economy. Though heres my problem with that, wow’s economy is already completely messed up, so its not as big of a deal as it seems.
Also its not automation if someone is performing the keypresses. Automation would be complete bots, running off scrips while the player could be completely out of the house doing other things. So no, its not fully against ToS.
At the end of the day blizzard makes the rules, making threads over and over just to kick up some dust within the player base literally does nothing for your cause. If your so against muliboxing stick to one thread and voice your opinions. Also don’t 
between every word it really doesn’t your stance.
Edit: Also i don’t understand why people care so much about it, the amount of multiboxers is so minuscule that it hardly affects the majority of players. I personally haven’t seen a multi boxer in some years now and i play on Area 52 which is one of the top 5 largest Horde servers in the US.
Can’t punish when there’s nothing in violation of the rules occurring
I guess if you see a person eating ice cream and some of it drips on the ground the police are supposed to call the SWAT team to apprehend them since they are “littering”
The only thing youve established is you are whining over a non issue that Blizzard has repeatedly stated is NOT against their rules

The ones that cry about how “unfair” it is and how multi boxers have a huge “advantage over others” and how it’s “pay to win” are either trolling, or they’re just ignorant.
My money’s on the latter, since most players do not multibox; few have any clue how it works and I’ve noticed that some people adopt a strong opinion about something or someone they know nothing about. Those with sense, ask questions and then gain understanding. Others just like to argue.

As ive said its a non issue since most MBs don’t even PvP 99% of them do it for X-mog and old raid content for gold and gear to sell they only do it for profit to fund their accounts
OP is just upset cos he met the rare PvP MB and got owned in a BG so now all of them are “bad” and cheating expecting Blizzard to punish them for something long establish as perfectly legal under the EULA and ToS

It’s just the ignorance is so thorough and all-encompassing that it’s difficult to believe it could be authentic. The lack of intellectual curiosity so profound it must be a put-on.
Most people think Idiocracy was satire. I’ve started to believe it was premonition.

Who cares what Blizzard’s stance is or if it’s technically against the rules? The argument is it should be against the rules.
It’s like if someone said “weed should be legal”, and you replied with “the government said it isn’t legal, so it shouldn’t be legal”.
I rest my case. It’s not against the rules, technically, explicitly, or implicitly.
