you said because everyone can do it its fair. so that follows.
what really matters is what does blizz think. so far they are ok with multiboxing. the op was asking for this to be looked at again. what effected him wasnt actually multiboxing, but whatever. I dont really care if you multibox, I dont think it should be allowed in pvp but that is just an opinion.

Botting is against the rules, so nobody should be botting in the first place.

LoL
It obviously is not an advantage at all then if the cost negates the potential advantage for you.
So what’s you’re complaint again?

absolute crap nonsense and you KNOW it given that the ToS FORBIDS automation…ie PLAYERLESS AI running the game.
If your going to trash bait friend…try it with someone with a lower IQ.
By your joke lack of logic crashing game servers is also allowed because anyone can do it.
Sorry but there is a list of things FORBIDDEN by the ToS.
And there are some things that ARENT.
Those that ARENT prohibited, that ANYONE can do, arent ‘unfair’ in any way.
Good lord you people are desperate.

Speaking of tilting at windmills this is a VERY old post you’re choosing to die on your hill for.

As for disability requirements, their is no such requirement for video games. The fact that you tried such an absurd argument really does my own arguing for me.

he was asking the devs to MAKE it against the TOS. you get so triggered any time someone even mentions MB you go on wild attack sprees. He has the right to ask, they have the right to say no. that simple.

Yeah…we get it. They want it banned. We’ve gotten it about 18,000 times now with these threads.

oh please.
YOU are the one who said this…

and this…

THAT is what MY response was to. Dont deflect.
No…it doesnt follow…sorry. Botting is a violation. MBing isnt.
No…you DONT get to actually VIOLATE the terms of service and get away with it because ‘anyone can do it’ LOL.
But since MBing IS NOT a violation of the TOS…it is NOT ‘unfair’ to anyone here…because ANYONE can do it.
That you even thought this was a valid argument staggers the mind.

Since you clearly somehow missed it…“anyone can do it” MEANS "anyone is ALLOWED to do it". The company PERMITS it.
I would have thought that that was the OBVIOUS intent.
Not that anyone is just physically able to do it, legal or not…given that NO ONE here would be telling you or the OP that its ok to break the ToS, lol

no one here is a victim. Lets stop pretending they are.

As for the ‘triggered’ joke, that would be the people perpetually whining in here because they apparently cant outsmart another farmer who is able to get ONE node at a time like everyone else.
They prove they are triggered every time they make another MBing hate thread, LOL

The difference is that the OS is interpreting the keystroke and sending a single input to a single program. This results in one keystroke creating one input and thus one action.

It’s a questionable argument, I think, to say that you’re not getting multiple inputs with MB. You could not normally create 5 distinct inputs without software. As a player you’re creating 5 distinct actions in the game world because five different characters do something.

You’re splitting hairs by suggesting that each character only does one thing. Pan out even a little and you immediately see that the value of that keystroke goes above 1:1 when you multibox.

The argument had always been “one button, one action” but that’s just not true with multiboxing. It’s only true when you arbitrarily limit the view to a per-client basis. That argument doesn’t preserve fairness, and it’s questionable at best.

If automation isn’t fair then multiboxing isn’t fair. Blizzard is being selective with their application of logic and reason for the sake of money. Not because multiboxing is magically fair.

That all said I never claimed that they’re not allowed to interpret their rules as they choose. I’m simply saying that one action per key press is not happening unless you make specific caveats to the argument. When you need to create justifications for your argument for it to be valid it’s now “questionable” at best.

They aren’t justifications when they are based off of Blizzard’s stance on automation in WoW (One action per keypress, per instance of WoW).

That same quote can be applied to most anti-boxing threads. They will base their stance on misinformation or a misunderstanding of the rules/how it works; then run with it anyways, or just rant based of off their feelings on the subject.

Over a decade and it’s still the same arguments time and again. Yawn…next!

Whether you agree with it or not, Blizzard was aware of this when they built the game.
They were aware of it when the first MB thread came up.
They were aware of this in every subsequent thread where someone says “one button, one action” goes to more than one client.

EVERY single time Blizzard has officially responded, they said MBing is ok. EVERYTIME.

There has not been one single post where Blizzard says MB should be banned.

Why do you think Blizzard keeps saying its ok, using the words you just used to defend it? Do you really think the devs at Blizzard have no clue about MBing despite them going into great detail about how its ok?
