idk about that. at least there was some form of “scare barrier” there. if its illegal and banable and you might get scammed on top… ppl are less inclined to do it.
when its green lighted right from blizzard … that “barrier” ain’t there at all.
it just goes rampant with no break at all as it is.
exactly. 
the quantity of bots which existed in cata, vs the quantity of bots now, has been a massive QoL improvement to game play.
…and i’ve never heard of anyone having their account closed from buying gold.
the quantity of bots didnt change. There’s still bots. WYM
unrelated when it comes to bots imo. there was an insane amount of bots not long ago -with the token available - it only slowed down when they made it illegal to broadcast your keypresses.
the great hit on the multiboxers.
this is the reason why the bots slowed down.
Not the tokens LUL
they still exist.
they just don’t exist in the insane quantities they did back then… and the last time i recall seeing them terrain hacking was Legion, before flight was introduced.
no, those were legit multiboxers.
do you really think that cheaters care about getting caught cheating?
they dont but they also cant get back up there after getting banned as fast now due to multiboxxing getting a limit.
what do you mean by “get back up there”?
boosts still exist.
yes but they know theyll get banned again if they multibox so they dont. so its not as quick as before. Hence the slowed down due to multiboxxing.
It’s disgusting how it’s become so normalize.
Well yea but tokens obviously make this a lot easier and legal
the accounts are going to get banned anyway.
they have no reason to care.
by the time an investigation has happened, they’ve already raked in a mass of gold.
Hardware broadcasting is still fine, and many still multibox that way. Others will once they can get themselves set for it.
It isn’t, you will get reported and banned, then good luck explaining in the appeals “oh but I wasn’t “technically” breaking the ToS”
I’ve been multiboxing just fine since the software broadcasting restriction was implemented. No problems with anything or anyone I’ve encountered. Of course, I don’t multibox to grief players in warmode, so that probably helps.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We will now additionally prohibit the use of all software and hardware mechanisms to mirror commands to multiple World of Warcraft accounts at the same time, or to automate or streamline multi-boxing in any way. Players found to be in violation of this policy are subject to account actions. These actions can include warnings, account suspensions and, if necessary, permanent closure of the player’s World of Warcraft account(s), as activities which effectively replicate automated gameplay are contrary to the terms and conditions of the Blizzard End-User License Agreement (EULA).
Nobody can control how ppl spend their money, so it doesn’t; matter if ppl let it fly or not.
That’s fine. It’s not as easy to track the various hardware methods as it is the software. Either way, I’m still doing fine, but thanks for the concern.
Easier sure, I eluded to that. How do they make it any more or less legal? Selling a service for currency has always been a thing in wow, and life, that tying, capitalism.
