How does one go about properly Multi-boxing without infringing on ToS.
Since this is support I presume it is the best place to ask and would provide a safe program that would be situatable working in sync with WoW Client.
In game macros that will help facilitate this project.
Thanks in advance.
While multiboxing is allowed, it is not supported officially. Blizzard will not help players set it up, provide tech support, or approve any software.
The rule of thumb is one key press = one in-game action per game client.
Some software can do more than that so donât use features that break the rules. Stick to basics.
no program is sanctioned for use. If you do some youtube research, or watch some of the gold making streamers, youl find the popular programs and theres plenty of guides out there.
As Mirasol said tho, stick to the basics, just set up your macros in game and youl be right.
Awesome, Iâm assuming follow a guide like this.

As long as one key stroke = one in-game action per game client.
Thank you for the straight forward answer.
Keep in mind MVPs are other players, but with green text. We donât represent Blizzard. I canât approve anything. I can only tell you the basic rules. What you do from there is at your own risk.
Using the in-game macro maker is a great idea because you canât accidentally create something not allowed.
Just think about the basic concept of multi boxing - 4 computers, each with a game client on it, controlled by one mouse/keyboard. That used to be the old fashioned way to do it. The modern way just uses software to send the same key press/mouse command to each game client.
Ultimately though, you will need to do your research and make your own educated decisions. It can be a challenging way to play and is not as easy as it might seem!
Yes, Iâve learned quickly.
Might have to alt tab 
but It will be fun learning on it way.
Although more research before I even think about putting my foot into the pond, let alone the ocean.
Yet they can and do suspend accounts every day. One might even argue, since there are so few multiboxers, that more account are suspended than there are multiboxers. I mean, in Classic alone they actioned over 70k accounts. But Iâm sure youâll argue that somehow banning those made them money too?
Multiboxing is difficult. There are so few multibox accounts that it is laughable to think they only allow it for money.
Really - having multiple computers (game instances) controlled by one input device has been allowed for over 20 years across most games.
It is a fringe activity that does not generate meaningful monetary input.
Just be very careful and cautious as others have mentioned that you proceed at your own risk.
The one thing that really makes me feel sad is seeing folks come in here all upset and thereâs a solid chance they are innocent and will have to go through the appeals to try make their being wronged right.
Also I canât be sure, but if letâs say you set something wrong completely innocent and it turns out it does something that gets you flagged, I donât think that they will have mercy on you for that sort of I guess, negligence.
I guess, just be cautious bro while having fun and make sure you are thorough in your research 
Good luck and I wish you all the best
When youâre multiboxing and you take a break, your characters stop playing and wait for you to sit down at the keyboard again. If you were botting and you got up, they would keep playing.
One thing people seem to be unaware of is that there are programmable peripherals like keyboards that are designed to create macros. You want to be very careful with that, since it can be considered automation.
How about you guys take your debate on the merits of mutliboxing to an appropriate forum and stop derailing the thread?
Multi-boxing is allowed, Blizzard wonât help you set it up or help you if it causes problems, but you wonât get banned for doing it within the rules.
Any discussion beyond that is derailing this thread. If you want to continue debating they whys, if itâs cheating/automation, your opinions on it, join one of the many threads that pop up in General.
Customer Support is not the place for this discussion, and most of you know it.
I really do enjoy these forums but the hypocrisies are prevalent.
Do any of you actually read what his forum is for?
I bolded some areaâs.
The representatives who staff this forum are dedicated to providing our players with the information and resources necessary to help ensure in-game experiences are as [EPIC] as possible.
As part of this effort, visitors of this forum can expect to find a host of information pertaining to in-game and account issues, including (but not limited to):
- Account Security and Compromise Recovery
*Account and Character Services- Customer Support Interactions
- Notable Customer Support Policy Changes
Players are encouraged to ask questions, share advice, provide feedback and participate in on-going discussions on the Customer Support forum. Accordingly, it is of utmost importance that all players treat each other with respect and courtesy.
Yes, I am well aware of what this forum is for, thank you.
It is essentially a player assisted information desk, with heavy moderation from Blizzard.
The bottom part you bolded doesnât mean this is a place to discuss the merits of things like multi-boxing. Itâs for clarification on whether itâs allowed or not and can be used to point players in the direction of getting help (outside of Blizzard) for setting it up.
It is not intended to discuss whether it should be allowed, which is what the conversation here devolved into. Those discussions are better suited to the General forum, where it gets brought up pretty much daily.
Yes, this is an Information Desk, not a place to discuss whether or not Blizz should allow multiboxing.
The thread was marked as solved long ago when the proper information was provided regarding Blizzard support of MB, the rule of thumb to keep out of trouble, and the fact Blizz wonât approve or sanction anything.
The folks who wanted to debate the merits of MB as a whole derailed the thread and it really should just be locked unless the OP has any policy questions left.
That is what is loss in translation or interpretation of these forums.
It is precisely that.
If it is unofficially accepted and or tolerated by blizzard. (Which MVP and other larger streamers advocate)
This would be the appropriate forum as it is âCustomer Servicersâ.
The merit of it being acceptable and or tolerated by blizzard is just another caveat of the conversation.
Which led to the discussion of it being appropriate for the consumer(users) who do no participate in such acts.
The suppression of this discussion doesnât seem appropriate. Instead of having multiple instances of these threads. One should be aloud to thrive and provide the adequate information surrounding this unofficially official tolerable intolerable means of playing the game.
Enjoy your fourth guys
There is no suppression. Suggesting that the topic be taken to General Discussion is not suppressing the topic.
This forum is âCustomer Supportâ, not âCustomer Servicesâ. It does not mean âIâm a customer, support meâ.
So take it to General Discussion to discuss the merits of it.
Simply put, customer support is mostly about providing technical assistance to customers by helping them resolve any issues they have with your products or services . Customer service , however, is about providing value for customers by helping them make the most of your products or services .
You are right.
To be totally clear here, using the term âunofficiallyâ or âtoleratedâ makes it sound like you think Blizz hates their own rules. Thatâs not the case at all in my opinion. It is explicitly allowed. No if and or but. Itâs not just tolerated, thereâs specifically a support article stating itâs not against the terms of use.
Asking whether or not something is against the rules is definitely one of the purposes of this forum. But the discussion around the merits of multiboxing should be in a more appropriate forum like General Discussion.
Itâs unfortunate that the thread took a turn into speculation regarding whether it âshouldâ be allowed or not.
This is a community buddy.
Hence I speaking with the community.
Donât be so rude saying that donât care⌠why would they have the forums if they donât careâŚ
To be totally clear here, using saying â. The folks whom make the rules donât come to the support forms for feedback, the blues here wonât forward it for you or anyoneâ makes it sound like you think Blizz hates their own forum rules. Thatâs not the case at all in my opinion. It is explicitly allowed.

Blues here are not liaisons to the Development team. Thatâs a simple fact. The CMs in General,however, are . Itâs been stated by Blues many times.
