You have something to add? or you just drunk.Nvm.
I multibox to farm herbs and ores every single day. Multiboxing is very alive and well, I do it daily with ease.
The goat escaped, but the cat was let out of the bag, and the cow jumped over the moon.
Only on new years
I used to be a pretty kind multiboxer. When I was 5 boxing an area and someone came in I would stop and let them get their kills and be on their way. After all the ignorant comments and tears in these forums I completely changed my approach. Now when Im out there and you whisper me or have something negative to say to me I just blanket that area in so much Starfall that youll be lucky to even see a mob spawn let alone tag one.
Most multiboxers had the workaround from software after the 1st day. I will be multiboxing within Blizzards rules until they change them again. If they change again then we will adapt again.
No amount of cry baby forum posts or negative whispers in game are going to stop us. We will multibox until Blizz says we cant. Until then I will enjoy my 5 toons using hardware and being just as efficient as I was with software.
Your negativity and hatred has caused me to be negative and hateful.
yes it is. it’s called a lie by omission.
you don’t even need to do that. i’ve done searches for bugged bosses like vanessa in deadmines and had several search results for gold selling sites show up on page 2-3 already.
Lmao these boxing manifestos are pretty cringe. These nerds are like, “I’m gonna box even if I have to time travel naked upside down left handed through a briar patch full of poisonous snakes, YoUs cAnT sThaP uth”
Feed me your hate.
I’m a geek with a dash of dork thank you very much!
I have not seen 1 Druid bot not yet. 1000’s?
try stepping outside a major city?
I shall keep a weather eye…maybe I will see one.
From your lips to gods ears.
Blizzard didn’t ban multiboxing. They banned the software that was used to facilitate it. The reason nothing has changed though is because the vast majority of the multiboxers you saw out there before were botters, but it was one bot manipulating multiple accounts via that software rather than multiple bot programs running at once.
It was actually easier to avoid detection that way, because a player may run into a bot that is multiboxing and they’d question it. Is this a bot? Is it a multiboxer? And it’s quite easy to brush it off as a multiboxer and move on since multiboxing isn’t against the rules.
Well now that software is broken, so the botters are forced to use multiple bot programs again. The illusion is gone, and now you’re seeing what was always there.
And that, mind you, was the entire reason they banned the software. Because botters were using it. So they banned that software and forced them to expose themselves. Now Blizzard can more easily crack down on them, because they’re not going to be confused with legitimate multi-boxers now.
They made loot and crafting goods scarce this xpac… What did they expect would happen?
This is dumb logic
We shouldn’t be letting bots exist because they make stuff cheaper
All bots do is make money making suck for the general player base
Bots generally don’t sell their stuff on the AH.
They vendor stuff that they gather for quick gold. Right now there are masses of bots in the Tar Pits in Nazmir. They’re not there to farm Deathblossom or Desolate Leather to put on the AH for cheap, nope, they’re there for quick kills and stuff they can vendor, because waiting for sales on trade goods is dangerous for botters, since they could easily be detected and banned before they get their stuff sold.
I remember another lie they told us but so many Hunters from that era are gone so nobody else remembers.
BUT I MEMBER
Blizzard: While this feature of the Grimtotem Spirit Guide wasn’t exactly intended, it was agreed by the development team that this is a fun use of in-game mechanics, and we therefore have no plans to address this issue - it will still be possible in future for everyone who wishes to tame this NPC to do so.
I hope this alleviates your concerns!

ONE MONTH LATER
Huh Blizzard? We can no longer tame the Grimtotem Spirit Guide. What gives?
"Through a hotfix we’ve recently removed the ability to tame a Grimtotem Spirit Guide. Players who have already gone through the trouble of taming the creature will be able to keep them unchanged. This hotfix only removes the possibility to tame this creature from here on.
The removal of the spirit guide has been debated within design discussions for a while now as to what impact the pet and its precedent has on the game. The unintended nature of the taming, the undead status of the guide, appearance of the wolf in relation to the feel of the hunter class, and the complex processes of taming were all issues touched upon and discussed.
Ultimately the discussions brought us to the conclusion that this should not be a permanent addition to the pet selection available to hunters; however, those that have already tamed them should be allowed to keep them due to their efforts in obtaining one."
Edited for clarity
What’s with all the ignorant arguments coming through this thread. People debating what multiboxing is or is not, what the ban was about or was not, what botting is, why multiboxers are bad, why bots are bad.
Dudes, the policy update was to stop botting. Multiboxing with a KV switch is archaic, nobody wants to do that. Multiboxing “ban” can just be conflated to the key dispatching software, quit arguing semantics people know what it means. And CLEARLY it did not work, there are bots everywhere. Just because you want multiboxing software banned to sooth your little soul cause you’re unable to do it, and now that makes it an unfair advantage; the fact of the matter is the policy update was to ban bots. Bots aren’t banned, they’re just as bad as ever. That change did absolutely nothing.
You should all understand by now (I hope…dear lord, I hope) that Blizzard has no idea how to deal with the bots. A GM running around isn’t a viable option, and a blanket fix should have impacted their revenue in a minor way, so clearly from a business perspective it makes no sense.
And Blizzard: Client side pattern recognition and input detection is how you can manage the bots. It really is that simple, all the bots are repeating the same stuff over and over, with unhuman response, and their input dispatching is coming from software not hardware. This is really not that difficult. On top of that you should be able to detect DLL injection. If you can’t figure this out, it’s time to hire some new engineers.
