Did they not disable / follow in pvp mode? Or just in bg’s? Maybe disabling/ follow with war mode on might solve that problem?
I didn’t mention any names, nor did I imply anyone. Unless the misunderstanding was in the (you’s) that I wrote. Maybe I should write a disclaimer at the end of everything I write and say something like: “All you’s are general you’s unless I specifically state otherwise”
I was just trying to figure out if:
Would that also apply to people that spread / parrot misinformation. Nothing more and nothing less.

You literally quoted my text and then wrote a block of vague nonsense. So yeah, maybe you do need a disclaimer.
Yes, I did quote something that you wrote because I’m trying to find out something. Which sadly still hasn’t been answered but I’m holding onto hope that it will be.
I generally quote people because it helps me stay focused on what it is that I’m talking about. As well as hopefully making it so people don’t think I’m replying to something else when it was something else that I was replying to.
Maybe I was just brought up a bit different. I was taught that just because people ask questions, don’t always assume that they think that you are part of the question and they are just in fact asking a question out of curiosity.
Person A; Do you think stealing is wrong?
Person B : (WTH! they think i’m a thief now?!?!?!)
Person B: I don’t steal!
Person A: Okay? that’s nice to know. But do you think stealing is wrong?
It is what it is I suppose.
Many people use the term: “Unrelated to the above quote…” and it works just fine. Unless you were, in fact, referring to me and wanted to leave it open ended.
Lowkey this thread needs to stop being revived

As far as I’m concerned, the issues within have yet to be addressed.
And they aren’t going to be in this thread… bottom line a Blizz employee isn’t going to reply this thread - because they have nothing to add to the subject and all it serves is to vent frustrations. Blizz either can’t or won’t stop multi-boxing - so much so that they’ve made it a point of saying its not against the rules to multi-box.
And Blizzard is probably not going to reverse that decision any time in the near future. Its only an issue in warmode - which people have to sign up for specifically…
I also wouldn’t call a single kill in the middle of an open field griefing especially when the person signed up for War Mode - which is open World PVP - one could argue that getting repeatedly harassed would be against the TOS - and you could go after someone on that angle. If you feel you are being harassed - then make your case in a ticket.

Though not typically referred to as ’ griefing ', and not called as such by Blizzard, all these actions are against the ToS (“Terms of Service”, as in TUA) and if reported action may be taken against the player or players involved. … Harassing, mocking, insulting players or Game Masters.
Just run 
keep tagging the leader if he’s chasing you (heroic throw, ice lance, moonfire, etc) and he’ll stay in combat and his team won’t be able to /follow him. If he doesn’t chase you he’s probably going to try and drop combat so he can get his team back on follow again then chase you, restart the process

Cheating
You are responsible for how you and your account are represented in the game world. Cheating in any fashion will result in immediate action. Using third-party programs to automate any facet of the game, exploiting bugs, or engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating.
Exploiting other players is an equally serious offense. Scamming, account sharing, win-trading, and anything else that may degrade the gaming experience for other players will receive harsh penalties.
Behavior
Behavior that intentionally detracts from others' enjoyment (such as griefing, throwing, feeding, etc.) is unacceptable. We expect our players to treat each other with respect and promote an enjoyable environment. Acceptable behavior is determined by player reports and Blizzard’s decision, and violating these guidelines will result in account and gameplay restrictions.
This was taken from Blizzard’s own code of conduct.
I believe it perfectly summarizes why multiboxing is cheating and ought to be disabled.

Blizzard defines cheating in their game. Its not cheating. Should it be allowed is another argument.

This thread is still going? When can some one prove multi boxing is cheating? I guess never.

I wouldn’t say never. Yes multi-boxing has been allowed for 15? years now. Pluto was a planet how long before it got demoted? Or did it get put back? Not sure.
Anyways, to answer your question. Can multi-boxing ever be proven to be cheating.
YES it can actually!
When someone gets Acti / Blizz to change their current stance of: “While we do not promote multi-boxing. We do not consider its practice to be in violation of the TOS / EULA”
All someone has to do is create a convincing argument to get Acti / Blizz to change this stance and then it would be cheating I believe.
Until then, it’s not considered cheating, even if people feel that it is.
100% correct.
It will always be a planet to me. Those scientist don’t know what they are talking about.
Yes, and they won’t be able to. This thread is proof.

Turn off warmode.
Today I started playing my boosted 120 gnome. I can barely handle NPCs much less wpvp. I knew this, I went out to quest. I was farmed to a 2 minute respawn. Was it about? Yeah. Did I think it was sad that these guys were focusing on a single warrior? Yeah. Does either of those things matter? No.
WPvP happened, I shouldn’t have been out there. So I went to SW, turned it off and then progressed with my quests.
Simple as that.

Oh man this again… Everyday a new person calling someone cheating that is multiboxing when it isn’t considered. You died in PvP that is all. Doesn’t matter if it’s a multiboxer or a group of friends running around you didn’t get camped be glad. Either way you chose to do PvP turn it off and go about your day.

When I see people talking abou the cheating of multi-boxing in PVP. It reminds me of the two kids playing basketball. One person knows they can steal the ball and the other doesn’t. So when it happens they are like, “YOU CHEATED!”
I think about WM and I think about the multi-boxing community. I don’t go into WM though. Not because I’m worried there might be horde multi-boxers. I don’t go onto WM because I’m not good at PVP.
There could be the argument made of, “But I’m good at PVP, I can’t compete with someone that has 5 toons and they moon fire me to death!” I then ask, “Do you think your survival chances would be higher if it was five different people playing and they moon fired you?”
I think the outcome would be the same in either instance. The player is going to get moon fired to death. The number of players doesn’t matter at that point.
