I’ve thought about it a bit, and I believe it’s not worth the risk; I know how these reporting systems work, and usually, rather than verifying whether something is correct or not, they rely on how massive a report is.
Just setting foot on Exile’s Reach with two characters, a few people have already been looking at me strangely.
I have two monitors. I’d click each one. I just used alt tab as an explanation before coffee. 
You could ask over in Customer Support if there’s a way to communicate with Blizzard on what your plan is so they can keep an eye on monitoring and if there are reports? I don’t know if that’s possible.
It’s really nothing to worry about. 
The dev who actually got it banned had to lie about it here on the forums just to do so. He pointed out how frustrating it is to be questing and to see 10 druids all swoop down on an herb and then the herb disappears.
And THAT was his example of why it should be gone and then he later began to comment to people here saying how all 10 of those toons would be able to sell the herbs in the AH and how they were ruining the economy… but… It actually is only one of that entire group who is able to get the node, no one else is able to get it… AND if you are raid group multiboxing which is anything more than 5 toons…that means you get ZERO credit on any of the quests that you do. And for a gathering quest if you need to gather 8 spider legs and that takes you 10 minutes on average… now try to do that quest on 10 toons… we had old looting system back then so that would mean you would have to loot 10x as much stuff. So if you had just 10 toons doing that same quest and it took 10 mins on average, then that would mean well over 1 and a half hours doing it AND if you were in a raid group doing it and not two separate groups of 5 then you got ZERO credit for wasting almost an hour and a half on one single quest that takes 10 mins on average and gives lots of XP.
And on an escort quest where stuff would spawn at the end, and those that required a group to complete. just image 10 multioxers on an escort quest and you have 8 super tough NPCs spawn right at the end…now you have 80 super tough NPCs and all that vs 10. If it was so overpowered then why didnt you see all the world first brackets and rank 1 PvP brackets packed with multiboxers…because it isnt overpowered.
And then you used to have to do 1 mount per toon at that time so to stack all up on Swift Spectral Tigers that was $16,000 to stock them up and then two Wholly white rhinos that were only 700 a piece and then when you boost them all up with $60 boosts that is more money too. So yea, you people got mad that you couldn’t do it and so demanded that it be taken out. One single multiboxer can bring in more money in a single month than most of you will in the entire existence of your account. Cuz you get all your WoW editions bought as CE versions and use all sorts of micro transactions for them and then doing 36 toons and spending 60 for boosts for just one set of them is over2k spent in one single day… so sorry to say but you could play WoW for the rest of your life and would not even be close to what an actual MB players spends. But…other MMOs allow it still. Just not WoW anymore…kinda got banned right as Blizzard began their downfall if you want to think of it that way. And then to do it the best it was like 4 Alienware PCs. Other MMOs still allow it though. Banned software versions first then hardware versions. FFXIV allows it. There was a WoW player who came over to the FF forums…to complain about multiboxing…he got banned from the forums. So yea they don’t like people spamming ways to stop a game style that would cause then to lose money if it gets removed.
Try it out and let us know 
You ok there?
Let’s stop making stuff up, please.
This is false. Learn how gathering works, please.
Bots weren’t questing.
I have no clue what you’re babbling about here. Bots weren’t on Spectral Tigers and Wooly Mammoths.
People got mad at bots. Not at your weird made up scenarios.
They do not allow third party software and that includes automation software. They just don’t monitor it the same way so more people get away with it.
Those are facts. And I’m not engaging with the nonsense further. Please stop spreading disinformation on this forum. Thank you. Good day.
I can understand why third-party software is prohibited.
I even asked the question because I felt somewhat bad about using Tab, as if I had some advantage lol
I can’t be bothered to read this thread.
All I’ll say is that I have boxed for years using nothing more than windowed mode and a big monitor. Nothing at all wrong with that. Just don’t do stupid things like using any type of software, at all, that duplicates keystrokes or mouse clicks.
The rule of thumb is “one keypress = one keypress inside of one client, one mouseclick = one mouseclick inside of one client, one mouse scroll = one mouse scroll inside of one client.”
I want to apologize because I responded to the title of your thread and not the OP.
Generally when people are talking about “multiboxing” they’re not talking about two accounts, they’re talking about five or more. My husband ran five accounts in window mode without software/hardware.
You’ll probably be fine with just two accounts following each other around. I’ve been running two accounts at once since TBC and never been bothered.
Yeah… I could see the crazy torches and pitchforks from people coming out over five. Which is dumb and I’m sorry he was caught in all of that witch hunting.
I appreciate your response, in that case, I don’t think there will be any problem.
If you see an Undead and a Goblin with the names ‘Ventureco’ and ‘Chemicalco’, just know that I’m only farming Love Tokens, I don’t want to go around killing anyone in PvP with 50 Druids lol
I have been playing 2 accounts since 2010 and never used any software for it. I basically played as you said with using /follow and i made /invite macros for grouping the toons i normally group together. I have never had any issue with it in 15 years.
I apologize if anyone misunderstood my broken English, thank you all for the responses 
but lets be real now. who is really managing say even 3 accounts and individually working the characters actions.
The most I’ve seen are people lvling 2 toons at the same time, one isn’t doing much, or having a healer follow them. Many people in classic use multiple accounts to layer or summon themselves.
No one actually tabs through several accounts to perform a real full fledged dps rotation, that’s just crazy 
The pvp side of it was a tiny insignificant fraction of the “problem”.
The far more significant problems was it’s adjacency to RMT. It was harder for blizzard to identify some guy running 40 moonkins with broadcasting software, vs a bot. Worse, broadcast software combined with VM software had driven the cost down so far, that multibotting was an effective form of RMT gold farming.
It was once again cost effective to have someone manually controlling characters for farming gold. Mostly via 40 man moonkin raids controlled by one person, strip mining entire areas of mobs. A single person could pull 400k+ raw gold an hour in gold on the low end, more realistically it was even more than that, when you accounted for skinning products and other drops.
People screech about mission tables all the time, blame them for gold inflating, but a single alt couldn’t even pull 1 million per year using them. A multibot chicken farm was pushing 1.1 billion gold per year in grey item drops, assuming 8 hours per day.
This reminds me of a couple of weeks ago.
I wasn’t around for the Emerald Dream patch, so I’m occasionally going there to farm stuff and one day I saw literally 7 identical moonkins (players), with similar name patterns, running around near the raid entrance (WM on) just killing everything in sight.
I presume they were trying to force a rare to spawn or something? It was quite amusing to watch, to be honest. They were all running nonstop in circular patterns across the whole fiery area. Kind of behaving like NPCs.
It also makes me wonder about people with such spare money to have that many active accounts to multibox with. Certainly automating the play.
Input broadcasting is against their TOS too lmao. Luckily for anyone doing it over there, square doesn’t really enforce that part of the TOS, because they can’t easily. The game doesn’t have anything watching for 3rd party software, and way more things are client side than should be.
It’s why FF14 has the dubious reputation it has, in terms of “mods” that their roleplay community uses, which puts moonguard goldshire antics to shame. They exist in a don’t talk about it, don’t show off videos of you doing it, and basically anything including straight up cheats mostly go unpunished.
Might have been that, but your description more fits actual bots just farming grey items 24/7 to sell. It’s awful GPH, but very few people would notice them in old content, so fewer people reporting them.
