As they should be. If you want to level an alt - do the work.

This is a lie. You aren’t “prevented” from doing that just because you can’t use a certain type of macro.
You can still do everything manually.

That’s fine then, I was unaware of the stance on third party software such as ISBox. I’m apologize for that, I was sure that a third party type of software like this would be banned, but it seems it is just restricted.
That doesn’t change the fact this post was clearly pulling for a collective, “screw this.” and to get Blizzard to change this. As well as acting as if the company cares if a change like this will kill that $15 subscription.
No one forces you to do anything it is your own choice, if you wish to purchase the software and play that experience is up to your own discretion.
The game did not have it in Vanilla WoW, so they shouldn’t have it in. From what I found it was introduced into TBC patch 2.0.3. I checked every patch starting from 1.0 on wards and found the first mention of introduction to be in that patch.
From what I can tell that link that was provided by Eloraell is talking about setting a Main target as it it is stated in the text. Please look through that same websites archives of 2.0.3 and see that it was first added in that patch.

So you bot the forum as well?
Got into a go go group…
I said in chat box before first pull.
I am not leveling your bot…
That’s an easy macro
/target “players name”
/cast Healing Touch Rank 1
Have the healer on follow. With the second box on the left, i reach over and press 0 on the other keyboard to target and heal all at onece
Doesn’t work in combat, unless you’re in the party of the target.
It does work, regardless of party or not. Used it all the time.

I was not aware that not having “focus” prevented the leveling of any characters, let alone alts.
Players may find it more inconvenient to “cheese level” alts, but even “cheese leveling” alts is not prevented.

Nice. Hopefully this will discourage other multiboxers as well.

Seriously… it doesn’t prevent dual boxing or having your alt targeted when you cast a heal on your pocket.
This person just wants to be lazy and is trying to hold Blizz hostage by threatening to unsubscribe.

I think she realized it wasn’t a feature in vanilla either. She is asking for a change so she can continue a disgusting play style, lol good luck.

It was. Do your homework, or at least read the thread.
The irony of this thread is that if the focus wasn’t on multiboxing it would be full of overwhelming positive responses for reimplementing a removed feature.
You’d think. But when I posted my real complaint that removing focus stops healers from doing what they did in Vanilla, and prevents CC management we had in vanilla, the collective response was “meh”, with 9 posts.
Oof.
So, I was right that removing this DOES negatively affect non-multiboxers?
Anyone macro-savvy or any addons that used the removed feature, yes.
Of course it does. But a post count of 9 isn’t going to get much attention. A post count of 300 is starting to make some waves, and there’s already follow on posts.
I’ve already given a link to when they added in that feature, read please, thanks! I’ll give ya another one. " * The following commands now support the [target=unit] macro option syntax: /startattack, /petattack, /target, /assist, /focus" 2.0.3 WoW Wiki.
