I wouldn’t do it because I think it is unethical. I would feel like I was corrupting the ideals of the game and disrespecting the other players.
It is fine to Blizzard. That does not mean it is fine from an ethical standpoint.
DMing?
I understand the practical application makes it attractive for certain things; my objections are strictly on ethical grounds.
Please note, I am not saying you or anyone else is corrupt or unethical for employing this method of play, I am just saying I think the method of play is.
No it doesn’t. Relaying is not boxing. Do you know that a wireless mouse uses third party software to relay commands to your computer and therefor your game?
I know, but the answer does not say anything directly about ISboxer. At all, doesn’t mention it once, or the use of third party software. It’s just the same old canned response.
Isn’t botting automated? The only human interaction it needs is for someone to log in to the game and than to start a program. From there the program will play the game without any further human interaction. Multiboxing requires constant human interaction to press buttons and so forth. Logically that seems like a pretty big difference to me.
Overall, multiboxing software tends simply reproduce your keystroke across multiple World of Warcraft clients. In that case, there generally isn’t anything wrong with it. It isn’t a supported playstyle, but neither is it prohibited.
Using third party software to relay commands to other instances of the game is no better than full on AI botting. It’s lame and should be banned in a similar fashion.
blizzard has stated they cannot support any other software because they know the creator could turn around and add features that break the game as soon as they get support. this would create a confusing situation
Exactly, it’s just legal speak. This is the important part that person is ignoring:
