You sound very new.
BOOM! AgainâŚ
You do realise weâre (very clearly) not talking about controlling multiple clients independently?
Then read the quote from a Blue I posted above.
or ask in CS. Afraid?
You are just flailing aboutâŚ
lol, why else do it then?
If itâs no advantage, why pay more money? I sure as hell would love a return on my investment, in some capacity that doesnât allow me to do it on a single account.
Edit: Just wanted to add that itâs okay to admit that it gives an advantage. I wonât think less of you. In fact, Iâll respect you more.
Some said exactly that, trying to fudge it by saying âdepending on how you use itâ. The actual ban would be for botting or disruption, NOT multiboxing.
(Itâs like claiming that driving a car is against the law, depending on how you use it, when the things that are against the law are speeding or deliberately using the car as a weapon.)

You are correct. We used to have ToU for each game separately and they had more-specific guidance depending on the game. Just last year (June) they combined the ToU from all the individual games into a single, more-generic, EULA.
The EULA is very generic and doesnât address several things directly, but you can choose to read into it whatever you think and youâll be right or you will be wrong based on no particular criterion because the deliberately-vague language has been designed to give Blizzard maximum autonomy to do whatever they want to do.

Automated gameplay is bannable. Keyclones that are one press on action across accounts is not considered automation by Blizzard.

I read it. And every iteration. I never agree to something I donât read.

No but weâre buddies. Heâs from CSF too. Upstanding guy.
Feel free to post over there and ask for clarification. CS gets the most Blue responses out of any forum.

I dual-boxed from TBC all the way through Cataclysm. I love playing with other people, but I also love being able to log into a second account and help an alt get a quest done or run them through a dungeon for a specific piece of gear without spending time looking for a group that wonât mind a lowbie being guaranteed a drop.
Pre-Wrath it also gave me the ability to have all the professions across my characters and do things like enchants for myself (no vellums back then), or trade items rather than wait an hour for something I mailed.
Of all silly things, I used it RPing in channel too - giving me two characters without trying to use odd OOC commentary to indicate who is talking.
Advantages? Not any more than, say, a couple of friends playing together and coordinating very directly.
I spent more money because the game was that fun for me. Seriously, I paid for three of each expansion through Cata - my main account (which got the CE for everything but vanilla), my second account, and my sonâs account. I didnât come out ahead of other players in much of anything, except perhaps the number of alts I had.

Rest assured, itâ not Aehl.
lol, the apple doesnât fall far from the tree.
LOL, youâre talking to TWulfâs alt - long, long-time Customer Support poster. Longer even than me, and I was over there from some point in TBC.
I just remember him (Aehl) saying that he would never agree to anything that he didnât read lol. It dawned on me the second I read it back in the automated ban thread.
isnât Aehl and Aussie?
Since Iâm the original, Iâll take it youâre complimenting Aehl.
I was light Blue before there was a Green. Green was my idea actually. people kept thinking we were Blizz employees.
