There’s no reason to change your mind. Your opinion doesn’t matter.

I box 2 toons. I run tandom’ly Or side by side. mage and lock. I use my Left hand to move the Lock. and my right hand to move the mage. Neither share the same keybinds. I use my mouse to turn and walk the mage and keyboard turn and walk the lock. I use 0 follow commands. they run side by side VIA my control. It’s not impossible. its hard it took me 15 years of playing. Willing to show and prove anybody who doubts me. yes some people bot then there’s players like me who are just tryhard.

Botting is automating the gameplay. A human presses play and comes back hours later much richer or with more levels.

Multiboxing is a human directly controlling each and every one of those. A single button press triggers a single action on each box - not multiple. At every stage the human presses the button. If mutliboxing software does more than that, it drifts into botting.

A wow macro can be more akin to botting than pure multiboxing.

OP, give it a try yourself. You may be surprised, I know I was.

We can’t change your mind, only you can do that. Until you have actually done it, you can’t claim it is boting.

I agree it’s a bit of an eye opener. I’m still getting used to it but have a lot of fun with it. Except when I’m like GRRR!! now I have to run back and get you following me again. or UGH! you pulled that mob I was trying to avoid.

For all the headaches I have, I have fun with it.

Even worse, you play them on a PvP server and get owned by higher level on all of them lol

I would disagree most are legit players but I can see why people hate them as it seems unfair to have someone throwing 5-40 people at you. most players who are paying for more then 1 sub most likely do not want to be banned so why risk it when there is legit mutiboxing software that works for what they want.

most use this sort of method which is ok. Check out lidc wow and see what its actually doing I might not be explaining it fully correct. There are some aspects that would be considered automation and that is not ok. But lets say you press “4” on your keyboard the software can instead of pressing “4” in your current game client send that “4” button to game client B. Not that client has in game macro to cast frostbolt. This to me is not automation and is just a driver for Windows which would be impossible to ban. If that would be bannable your opening the door to all drivers being bannable. Which is VERY bad since you require drivers for most peripherals to work with windows.

tldr check out some legit multiboxing software “I cannot confirm if this one is still used but I had a friend who used it in guildsince I do not multibox as I am not that rich lol” It’s called lidc wow or something.

I’m aware, I personally am against it, but Blizzard’s fine with it, so it doesn’t really matter.

Beating on a dead horse stinks, change my mind.

Get rid of the multiboxer software that sends a single keystroke to other Windows. multiboxer should be executing commands individually on 5 physical keyboards. Too hard? Then grow 5 more arms and hands.

It’s obvious it’s not cheating. It’s obvious you’re just crying over nothing like you do in countless other posts.

Or you could quit crying over something that has never affected you and just play the game.

Pretty much. They post one of these a week and cry about it not changing.

They’re insane. They fit the idea well.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

They’ve just been doing it for over a decade. That’s a rough life to be crying for that long over something minor in life.

Multiboxing has become more bot like over time. Back in the day people would just use macros, or bind things to the same key. Not they use programs that allow complicated actions. You’re absolutely right there isn’t really much of a reason to distinguish multiboxers from botters anymore.

It’s the multiboxer programs that need to be banned. Go ahead and play on all your accounts simultaneously without the assistance of multibox software.

So long as the only thing the software is doing is duplicating keystrokes across windows it’s fine. It’s the same thing as if you wired a single keyboard to 2-5 separate computers all running wow. From the sounds of it some of these programs are now adding additional functionality, which is probably not cool, but i’ve no personal experience of that. My personal “multiboxxing” is just having 2 accounts and having a priest on follow to cast renew on a lowbie alt, or tag levling and tabbing back\forth with 48+ level mobs.

Replication is not automation.

I don’t need to. :slight_smile:
