So i’ve seen a few people multiboxing 5 toons and they are all using spells/abilities at the exact same time, so theres still some type of program they are using to broadcast key info across WoW clients.
So much for banning 3rd party programs, huh?

Multiboxing is a fully valid and valuable play style. It is not against any rule and has been allowed since WoW’s inception.
Also, the first multiboxers were well known to use hardware solutions.

I’ve seen a few people botting too. Doesn’t make it allowed. Report them and move on.

it is a pay to win form of cheating that should have been banned on day one. not 15 years down the line!

As someone inquired:
I am sure these people are using the hardware work around now.

It might be hardware, which is fine.
Multiboxing didn’t technically get banned. The software did.
If you see someone boxing, by all means report them, and blizz can investigate. If they think it’s software, they will likely ban eventually.
TBH I’m not sure what people expected. We’ve seen how long it takes to ban outright botting and hacks, why did people expect the multiboxer bans to be instant or faster?

From what I understand, they only banned software, and I suspect that had to do with some automation (I do not claim any knowledge, and I could very well be wrong, but I suspect it was related to isBoxer - whereas hardware - or realistically, software that doesn’t automate anything - is fine).
There was no mention of hardware-centric multiboxing being banned.
Well the person I saw boxing had all of his toons following and performing the same spells and actions at the same time, just like usual multiboxers used to do. So the person is obviously using something to broadcast key info across clients.
I’m not sure how people would use hardware to get that type of perfectly timed actions across all wow clients.

Do some research. Maybe try using a search engine.

Keep pounding sand. Multiboxing is fine, SOFTWARE input broadcasting is not. Until Blizzard says Multiboxing itself is against THEIR rules, keep pounding sand. HARDWARE input broadcasting is fine, until Blizzard says otherwise. Call it whatever you want to call it, until Blizzard calls it “cheating”, once again, keep pounding sand. You may eventually get what you want

I’ve seen them too
Yeah I agree. I never thought input broadcasting software would be banned after 15 years so nothing would surprise me now. Keep posting and you may get what you want.

I am.
My statement is still correct:
It’s possible they use hardware to do that, but just report them and move on. Do a /who and see each popular dungeon that was used for farming and you will still see 5 mages together. Probably bots.

Multiboxing was not outlawed. MB Software that allows toons to be controlled by a single keypress has been outlawed.
You still are allowed to own multiple accounts and to play them simultaneously. You just cannot use certain software to do it.
What hardware are they using to send inputs to different vms or clients on the same vm. People are not using 5 physical machines to MB right? I find if kind of hard to believe they are using some contrived hardware solution over just a different or very similar software solution.
Probably wrong but please explain.

Still multiboxing here, and staying within the stipulations of the Terms of Service.
That said, if you feel you are seeing someone breaking the Terms of Service, you should take the time to report them. Be sure to included a detailed report of their activity, and use the in-game reporting tool or email: hacks@blizzard.com
