Which just means they won’t help with issues, obviously.
i.e. you can’t go ask Blizzard support for help configuring it.

I’m wondering if it’s very simmilar to the WC3 map maker. It comes with the game but Acti / Blizz will not do tech support for it.

Does it cause your avatar to move, react or interact with anything in the game WITHOUT input?
No?
Not automation, thus, not against any rules.

Why not ban the drivers too? Those pesky keyboard and mouse drivers enable multiboxing too. Also, you don’t need software to multibox, a KVM switch can do the same thing.
I guess people couldn’t go a week without whining about Multiboxing.

The problem is with druid/hunters? Then make Starfall/Barrage PVP Talent
Well. For 1, those programs are not key repeaters and 2 it’s not automated. So you really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Multiboxing apps aren’t automated either. The owner presses each key.
e: misread the other comment

Are you suggesting that line means they think multiboxing is against their rules?
That’s not what it means.
It means they aren’t going to do anything to HELP multiboxing tools, but they don’t have any problems with them either.

They’ve said that having multiple accounts is okay and that they don’t support multi-boxing software. Which doesn’t make it not a grey area, just an activity that they have a financial interest to continue while giving them space to backpedal should they need to.
There’s an argument to be made both ways, hence, grey area.

That’s not what a gray area means… gray area would be if they hadn’t spoken about it. Blizzard is 100% ok with it meaning there is no gray at all. Players are welcome to dislike it, but the rules have zero issues with it.

It’s not. It’s an area they are neutral about.
As long as you aren’t using a program that plays the game for you without input, they simply don’t care.

They say “you can use as many accounts as you wish, but if you use the tools for multiboxing, use at your own risk”
And in the cancel culture-era even reports and bans are automated.
In the past they have said multiboxing software is fine so long as it’s one action per keypress per account.
It’d be really great if people stopped being Karens and stopped worrying about what other people are doing. Stay in your own lane.

But they don’t really. That’s the “grey area” op has talked about.
Multiboxers using ISBoxer aren’t clicking over to each individual window they have up and then clicking each individual skill they want to use.
They have one primary window and w/ a single click of a button an action is instantly made on every single instance of the game that’s open.

Yes they do. If I press “1” each client only sees that single key. Blizzard has stated this is acceptable. No ifs ands or buts; as long as my single keypress never results in more than one keypress going to a single client, it is ok.
Thus there is no gray area whatsoever.
e: mostly using “I” for simplicity; haven’t multiboxed in years

ive always said… if a program makes it so 1 press of the button works across multiple accounts… how is this not cheating/automated gameplay? cause it is automated and just cause they pushed 1 button that counts as a single key stoke is a joke

It sends a keystroke to each window.
That’s not automation. There is no “grey area”.
It does play the game for you without you pressing the keyboard.
THAT would be automation.
Anyone arguing this needs to learn proper terms before throwing them out willy-nilly.

Because you’re pressing each key and Blizzard is ok with it. Thus it can’t be cheating.
