Has anyone successfully completed a raid by multi boxing?
so are you one of those that has a vestigial character on follow to mooch xp, or are you likeā¦ rapidly swapping between windows to hit buttons?
indeedā¦ ānot correct in all casesāā¦ but it is indeed correct when it comes to mass-multiboxing, which is what created the issue in the first place.
They hit 120 2 days ago and got 200k achievement within a day. So yeaā¦ the accounts are paid off within a week. The rest goes to causing inflation.
Look up donbreuuta and tell me thatās multiboxing not botting.
two monitorsā¦an account showing on each, swapping back and forth between the two.
Really fun stuff when youre running two different classes trying to keep track of which is which in a dungeon run 
Yeah I 10 boxed Nighthold in Legion some time after Argus released. Of course thatās some time after but it was fun. I can 5 box mythic NH now though.

and that is perfectly fineā¦ youād be hard pressed to find anyone who has a problem with multiboxing like that. You are 100% within the rules doing it like that. The issue as stated before, isnāt for multiboxers who follow the rules, such as yourself, but those who run dozens of accounts that act in perfect unison as a result of a script that duplicates their key press across every account at the same time.

That isnāt an issue for the company. Thatās an issue for YOU and a select few other envious players.
The ruling is ancient history now. Multiplexed commands are NOT against the TOS.

I can barely handle two accounts, but Im pretty much doing it manually except that Jamba makes it so the other character will just follow .
Ive seen the one guy in orgrimmar a few times lining up his mounts. I think hes got like 15 accounts or maybe more.
Its NOT against the rules, however.
BOTTING is.
its NOT the same thing.
I use isboxer, jamba and a lot of WoW addons that make some things basically super easy. TSM is absolutely great for handling inventory on multiple characters - one of my biggest dislikes.
And hivemind is absolutely necessary. I hope they change it eventually from character bound to account bound.
Dang! Thatās still not a easy task to complete! Congrats to you!
i think one of the options i checked out had some feature that could get one banned IF it was used. That scared me off enough that I just went with one that I was told didnt have anything that violated the ToS, so I figured it was safe.
Certainly dont want to ever have my game accounts banned or even suspended
Thanks! People always trash talk my M+ rank but the fact is a lot of us multiboxers are actually 5 boxing that stuff. I think my highest key was 8 in Legion but some tank comps actually did 15 keys. Tanks were nuts in Legion though. Itās not so good in BFA.
My main team was BDK/RSHM/LOCK*3 and that comp is also no-go in BFA, sadly. It did pretty good switching out two locks for a hunter and WW though.
A lot of people Iāve noticed just make 5 druids and do whatever is good. So boomie or all guardians if itās better.
You wonāt get banned using ISBoxer / Innerspace as they are multiplexing (one key to multiple windows) programs.
When people get banned claiming it was ISBoxer / Innerspace they were AFK farming hotspots. Aka, they were overloading the programs with things like auto-fire keyboard software and who knows what else.

If you suspect someone is botting right click and report for cheating. Blizzard is slow to crush botsā¦ But they do.

by very definition, using a script that duplicates your key presses to another window, is in fact botting. The main account is the only one that is controlled by a player when scripts are involved, the rest are actually bots. Blizzard has just done nothing about it for so long that it is difficult to actually take action against them now and they are treading on dangerous waters by continuing to take no action, it is only a matter of time before someone uses it against them in a court case.
But as I said earlier, youāve got nothing to worry about with how youāre multiboxing since your not using scripts, and an addon that auto uses /follow is of no consequence so long as it was built within the confines of the addon systemās limitations (which Iām sure it is).
SMH. It isnāt. Youāre repeating a known fallacy.
Botting is a script that automates your keystrokes. You can get up and walk away while it presses keys for you. Thatās a bot. Or you can have something that presses your attack keys while you move. Thatās also a bot.
Multiplexing is taking one keystroke you press and sending that keystroke to all the windows. Itās no different than having multiple buttons in front of you and pressing them all at the same time.

I cant remember which one it was. I do remember reading "dont use this feature, itāll get you bannedā kinda thing. It had a TON of settings in it.
Iāll have to check out ISBoxer. Maybe itāll make me get more interested in MBing than I am right now.
Yeahā¦Ive seen some banned players trying to BS blizzard .
the one guy CLEARLY was using his keyboard macro keys so it would fire off a list of commands instead of using the ingame macro system.
I have a macro keyboard. I NEVER use the macros for that simple reason. Dont want to get banned.
Its a really nice KB otherwiseā¦got the programmable colored backlighting which seriously makes keeping track of keybinds easier for me.
Iāll check that ISBoxer out later today. THANKS for bringing it up! 
IsBoxer is actually a great program for setting things up like FX overlays, so you can do picture in picture stuff with your master and slaves. I do that to see if any of them are standing in bad.
And you can setup varying keys. So like WASD to move your main and ALT+WASD to move the other characters.
It takes a long time to get good though. Years. Good enough to do things like M+ and raiding and PvP Iād say be patient with it. It doesnāt happen overnight for sure.

As always, people mistake cloning with automation.
As long as someone is able to press 1 button per action on the keyboard, and all 5-500 characters the guy is boxing do 1 action per that button press, then we have a multiboxer who is not violating the rules.
Now, if said person pressed 1 button and all 5-500 characters started doing multiple actions from that 1 press, that is automation and bannable.
