Im pretty good at saying what I mean…and meaning what I say 
And the obvious implication was…well…obvious.
Oddly enough I never see any boxing hate in the game chat.
And we dont see but a handful of you in here on the official forums.
And when we do some pretty nearly always resort to posting on alts to pad threads.
Kinda suspicious.
I mean…IF I have a real issue thats valid…the smoke and mirror crap shouldnt be necessary.
Sorry won’t happen Blizzard have to answer to their shareholds and atm subs are so bad I think, they’re letting them run amuck.
It’s easy brosauce, I’m no software developer and I started learning Lua and the wow api in February and have written 3 (progressively less awful) addons lol.

Now how would I be able to do that without multiboxing? You tell me!
The 2008 blue-post supports your assertion. I’m saying I fundamentally disagree with Blizzard’s definition. If you have 5 accounts on a machine and you are using an external application to press one button, and have it cause a button-click on each of the accounts in your box, that in my definition is automation. In any industry in the world using computers, a 1 to 5 click ratio is fundamentally automation. If I run an assembly line of 5 welding robots and I can get four to mimic the actions of a primary robot, that is automation.
Are you arguing it is a pay-to-win strategy and therefore ok?
uh huh.
Either boxing IS a big issue and lots of $$$…in which case, yeah…its not going anywhere…for profit business being what it is, and all. gotta pay for those devs and servers somehow…they dont just appear out of thin air no matter what some want to think
or boxing ISNT a big issue in which case some in here are pretty much flat out lying about how big a problem it really is.
What about the past 16 years? What about during wrath when there was “Over 12 million subscribers” and multiboxing was still allowed? Why didn’t they ban it then? Certainly they didn’t need multiboxers when they were making 179 millon dollars a month
Dont even know what you mean, but ok. Oh that was joke kk got it.
On the other hand, your anecdote isn’t proof of an actual problem.
no. stop making these awful threads.
Cool. When you make your own game, you can use your definition and make it against the rules!
Each character is still being directly controlled by the player. They don’t take any action otherwise.
I’ts a issue and most are gold farmers, Chinese cause you bet they only buy gold from their people not anyone else.
You know standard Windows API supports this right?
annnnnd since the game belongs to bliz, not you…they get to make the definitions as they see fit.
youre the guy who smokes in my house after I tell you not to and doesnt use a coaster, arent you?
doesnt matter. sucks, I know. But thems the breaks.
Is it sending an identical signal to all client windows or switching between them to send commands? Not automation.
Is it playing the game for you, or rather, for one of your client windows? Automation.
All hardware is considered neutral as long as its commands and features are not being used to automate gameplay.
After a president getting nailed for racism for using the word ‘chinese’, i aint touching this one with a 20 foot virus.
It’s like calling Australian Aussies lol nothing racist about it at all. That was about political crap over covid and that was the best they could get him on? very sad.
Whooooaaaa buddy
Also a majority of illicit gold farming is done out of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus as laws about this sort of thing are quite lax or non-existent. Some of the biggest gold selling operations was done in the USA ("Murica!). Screaming “it’s the Chinese” is a dog whistle and more misdirection.
As others in the thread have stated, the number of MB’ers are a small fraction of the game. I would assert for such a small fraction, they cause an inordinate amount of problems. But ok, lets say they all rage-quit. What have we really lost then?
Here are some thoughts. The server economies are NOT dependent on such a small number of players. Many rules of modern economics strangely apply to the WoW in-game economies. In the real world when a dominant retailer (what MB’s are) leaves the economic space, the economy rarely suffers. Think about JCPenny, Woolworth, Sears, etc. A poor economy caused them to fail, not the other way around.
In-game economies will also not be impacted by MB’ers leaving. The fact is, while they do contribute, they do NOT set the price so low they can’t be undercut. Instead, they attempt to reset the AH economy in very specific sectors for short periods of time to drive away competition (sounds like WalMart, am I right?). Then the MB’ers keep the market price just high enough that shuffles and other gold making techniques aren’t profitable and wait. The truth is, a more naive market will work better than one dominated by the billionaire MB class in WoW.
Why its true.
Right. Because the actual problem is with botters flooding the economy with mats they gain from playing 24/7.
Multiboxers do not impact the economy nearly as much as you think they do.
