Soo I see there are workarounds for multiboxers so they can group and essentially Box a 5 man by clicking each character screen and using macros but what I want to know is will Blizz be ok with us reporting a “suspected” Multiboxer? I saw one today jumping 5 toons in perfect unison and am 100% confident it was a multibox software in use… Asking for clarity here
You can’t report it. There are hardware setups that accomplish the same thing as the broadcasting software did so there’s no way you could determine which one the player was using.
Correct, while us players cannot determine what method they are using you might as well report them anyway so a GM can look into it.

Pic related is a legal setup by Blizzard’s new policies.
I can report anything I see if it’s concerning to me, my point is how do you think blizzard will react to continued reports?
You are not 100% confident they were using software.
There is NO WAY you could know that.
Report them and let Blizzard sort it out.
Imho I’m 100% positive.
Meh it’s a fun pastime to find cheaters and report them all. Blizzard has thanked me almost weekly for my efforts. Multiboxers will be added to the list.
You’re not. You CANNOT be positive they are using software. You don’t have the necessary tools to determine that.
That’s why you report and move on.
I hope you do. Fill Blizzards pipeline with millions of false reports of multi boxers cheating so they spend the next 6 months investigating them instead of the bots and hackers.
i report every multibox i see, i dont care how its done
its blizzard job to verify, not mine
Multiboxers, bots, hackers…there’s no difference now.
Congrats working for free while their ceo’s get multi-million dollar bonuses while giving us trash like BFA
I don’t spend all my time hunting them but if I see them I report. It’s like in Durotar where you see the level 9-15 bots either hunters or mages just grinding away. Easy to spot.
If u see any multiboxer casting spells or jumping exactly at the same time hit the report button. I am a multiboxer and im telling you the only thing that should be nsync is auto follow and nothing else. Anything cast will be slightly off. So when i cast five fireballs it looks like ----

as the old way would be
People also still haven’t received a warning and are probably still playing. I dont use anything anymore besides mouse hover over function in windows 10 with a bunch of assist macros. I play on a big screen so none of that alt tabbing nonsense.
You can report anything you want, just keep in mind filing false reports is also an actionable offense.
Of course you can report it. Blizzard will determine whether they’re using software or not.
Well, there is a small difference. One of them isn’t against the TOS and the other two are so there’s that. I suppose it’s also a small difference that one of them is an imaginary problem and the other two are real.
Yep exactly. I can tell the difference because all the mages jumped in sync. Thanks for the feedback. I know there will be legitimate MB’s and I really have no issue with that per say.
Multiboxing is not against any rule and is fully allowed in World of Warcraft.
Abusing the report system should get you banned and deleted from the Internet.
Abusing the report system is an actionable offense.
It’s not an abuse of the report system to report a group that seems to be using input broadcasting software. It’s against the tos and therefore cheating so reporting them is perfectly acceptable. It’s pretty obvious and easy to identify.
