You are not Prepared. Have you ever met Prepared?
Well aware of him, and others.
My point is that Blizz does not consider it cheating because there is no automation of the in-game routines. Blizz does not consider it different than facing X number of individual players (MB folks are weaker and less coordinated).
I know this is not popular among some folks but it is an age old argument I donāt see Blizz changing their stance on any time soon. It is a VERY small portion of the player base.
Right now, they treat each MB as a separate license, even farming mats/gold/AH stuff, is not against the rules. Unless that changes, I donāt see any reason they are going to change their stance.
Mannoroth hereā¦PvP. First PVP to open the AQ gates back then. It was a really unfair game in a lot of ways!
And no, I don[t expect people to enjoy it, especially if you are solo!
A very small portion of the playerbase send in game mail to players attempting to sell them gold, but Blizzard took action on that. A very small portion of the playerbase was abusing the ZG class enchants, but they took action on that. Nothing about anything youāve said bothers to address the issues with multiboxing, but rather just deflects to āWell Blizzard decided it was ok.ā
Because there is no defense of it.
Yes, because those were exploits or against the rules, whereas multiboxing is neither.
Iām glad you are catching on.

The issue here is YOU think it should be considered abuse. Blizzard for the past 15+ years does not agree.
You are going to have to convince Blizzard in a way that the long impassioned pleas of the past 15 years have not. They KNOW some players really feel it is unfair. Just like they know some players feel corpse camping is unfair and should be considered āgriefingā. There is a PvP solution to that. For most MB there is a solution to get a group.
The other things you cited were actually against the rules. Different scenario.
I know you donāt like that, but that is their stance.

One keypress, one action per client, is the rule, and it certiantly is a person pressing the key. By the logic you are using no one ever controls a character since once they press a key it is software that actually interacts with the client(s).
BoTs on the other hand are more like that old commercial āSet it and forget itā once started they perform many actions, one after the other, until their routine is complete.
Even the one keypress, one action is not always enforced. With WoW macros if something isnāt on the GCD you can set up a macro to say use a trinket and cast a spell, with a single keypress.
Multiboxing on the other hand requires a person to press a key for every action. One key press, one action per client. Sending a keypress to multiple clients ispossible without using any keycloning software. Some of the old multiboxing setups used multiple PCs and mechanical means to send multiple clients a single keypress.

If you can set it up using the in-game macro maker, then bind it to a key like ā2ā then you can use it. Make the macros in game and all is well. Out of game stuff is subject to a suspension or ban if it chains spells and delays you canāt do with the in-game tool.
This is 100% accurate.
World of Warcraft is a game about characters. 1 character is not supposed to be able to beat 5 characters. Go get 4 more characters.

Thatās not the situation here. WoW is a game about finding groups for dungeons, and yet they banned an LFG style group finder in Classic because of the āspirit of the gameā. If you want to come in here and try to shut down conversation by offering nothing of substance, I suggest doing something more useful with your time.

WoW has had and supported multiboxing since the games inception. It is absolutely in the āspirit of the gameā.
Just because you arenāt a fan of multiboxing does not mean you should have no tolerance for those who are multiboxing. Be tolerant. People donāt like you, donāt agree with you, play the game the way they want to, and that is 100% AOK.

< Real. Had a PC in my early 20s, back in 1998. I remember it was a gen 1 Pentium.
I also multiboxed EverQuest. As early as 2001.
I also grew up extremely poor. Poor enough to remember what brick cheese was in the 70s.
So yeah thatās the reality.
While PCs are more powerful today the system requirements for all games were much lower back then. So itās not really any different.

blizzard officially supports and encourages multiboxing
Care to show a link for that?
Last I heard, itās allowed but not supported.
theres no such thing as āallowed but not supportedā thats like saying speeding is allowed but not supported. its either allowed or not. blizzard allows it, therefore they fully support it and encourage it.
So you donāt have a link to support what you are saying?
what would a link do for you?
Well, you did say they Officially supported it. It would be at least in the support articles on the website.
But I think you are trolling as you are reluctant to post anything official on the topic, and it would end a lot of teeth gnashing on the subject.
you dont seem to want to acknowledge the fact that what i said made sense
deflection isnāt gonna work. Man up, show us something official. A blue post at least.
Iāll show you mineā¦
In that case, there generally isnāt anything wrong with it. It isnāt a supported playstyle, but neither is it prohibited.
man up? show you something official? you want a link directing you to blizzard being quoted as saying āwe officially support and encourage multiboxingā? imagine saying i need to link that in order to āman upā what an insufferable idiot
