just another asinine excuse from entitled players who dont want to put in the WORK and want everything handed to them for free so they dont have to compete for resources.

Multi-boxing can be done without any key-clone software. Banning key-cloning will not remove multi-boxing.
Like Discord, Twitch, Ventrillo? Remove chat altogether because it gives an advantage over players who donât use it. Donât allow any addons for the same reason? Where are you drawing the line?

You donât have to answer this but does it happen more when you are tired?
Let me guess, Guild Wars?
He knows that. Just like we know bliz cant ever stop bots entirely.
Its the same as the anti gunners doâŚremove this gunâŚthen that ammoâŚthen make this lawâŚgun âfreeâ zones nextâŚtake that attachmentâŚmake that trigger unlawfulâŚ
Before it was the Brady Campaign they said they knew they couldnt take the whole loafâŚbut would settle for a slice at a time until ALL handguns were banned.
Same tactic here.
just remove the one type of app nowâŚand when boxing is still happening move on to the next.
Bliz makes some seriously idiotic decisions but I dont see this being one of them.
If boxing doesnt include a lot of playersâŚprobably not a problem anyway.
IF boxing is half the playerbaseâŚis bliz stupid enough to ban it then? Not in a million yearsâŚnot that much of their income.
Boxing isnt likely to go anywhere under any circumstances.
They may alter some rules here and thereâŚbut thats about it.
you knowâŚIve never paid attention. Probably should.
I only ask because Iâve heard of one other person who experienced a similar thing and when they were tired, it made console gaming more difficult.
On the subject, I donât think boxing will go anywhere. I wouldnât be surprised if something was done later on that hindered it. It would not be the first time a playstyle that frustrated others was changed. Some did not like world PVP but wanted to be on the same server as their friends who already played and indirectly, warmode was born. Some did not like twinking so brackets were separated. I guess it all depends on demographics versus number of legit complaints?

Blizzard pushes people to get multiple accounts with the character limit on each account. Heck so do others on the forums when I have asked for a larger character limit on accounts.
So, no more RaiderIO, no more Postal, no more Auctioneer, no discord, no more DBM, etc. Letâs see it happen. No more addons for anyone!!!
Edit: yes. I know what you typed, but thatâs not acceptable. If you donât like automation of any kind, then all third-party apps must go. No free-for-alls, 'cuz the only reason you want that is so you can run your bot software unhindered and without competition from boxers, right?

Right they are all third party. No more mouse drivers and video drivers either!

You could be right. I do know my hands get really weird if Im gaming too long without a break. I can heal maybe 3 or 4 runs and then I have to walk away because the motor function is almost gone at a point. Not just sore or crampingâŚliterally cant move one finger independently from the others until Ive taken an hour or so break.
Honestly, it doesnt affect me either wayâŚbut nor did master loot.
I never raided outside of LFR and never traded loot or anything anywayâŚso ML wasnt even on my radar until blizzard took it away from raiders.
once I read about it and realized what the big picture looked like it was pretty obvious that this was just another way for bliz to make players grind more for gear.
ML DOESNT affect my game. Never has, never willâŚbut I STILL get involved in defending it and stating that raiders should have it at least as an option.
By the jokers in here I shouldnt be ALLOWED an opinion on boxing if I dont boxâŚwhich is asinine. Im not a woman eitherâŚdoes that mean i shouldnt stand up for womens suffrage and their right to vote?
Of course I should and wouldnt be much of a man if I wouldnt.

Some of those interact with the game software directly while some do not. Youâd have to differentiate.
Nope. You guys started this. Itâs all or nothing. You donât like third-party apps or automationâŚwell then, they all must go.

To be clear, my favored solution is just in-game fixes to remove the advantage of multiboxing. The act of them roaming around with multiple characters, I donât care about that, very few people do.
No more personal loot outside of instances:
This breaks afk farms, full stop. No more moonkin swarms camping locations, because there would be no incentive to do so.
Revert resource nodes to not be multipick, OR make them phased on a per player basis.
This would remove the advantage from having 8 druids picking herbs.
Thereâs some problems with multiboxing in instances, economy wise, but probably not as extensive as the other two.
These boxing threads slay me. 
Theyre trying to farm herbs and ores to make gold on ONE character, lolâŚthen complaining when they cant.
I havent even been running my retail characters, just listing some stuff here and there âŚIve been on the PTR lately.
just checked my mailâŚmade over 10,000 gold on one AH item that I made with engineering that cost me less than 100gold to make, lol
9900 gold for literally doing nothing but clicking a few buttons to craft and list the timeâŚand NOT flying around for 6 hour screaming at boxers for 'stealin muh node"
HEY BOX HATERSâŚhow long does it take you to farm enough ore and herbs to make 10,000 gold?
If its more than a few minutes, youre playing the game wrong. You need to be crafting crap that sells at the very leastâŚor if you insist on farming crap, go farm something you CAN make bank on instead of wasting forum space day after day screeching that some one owes your entitled self easy mats.

yeahâŚbecause That asinine hoax of a solution wont cause 80% of the player base to flip its lid in 18 seconds flat.
Absolutely ZERO foresight, I see.
uh huh.
Bliz stopped doing the easy nodes thing after mists guyâŚand they increased mat costs exponentially to craft. Just go craft something in Mists content and then in WoD and beyond.
They AINT making it easier for you like you want.
the entitlement is strong with this one.

I totally see what you are saying. Some feel that unless you have a direct stake in something, you cannot have an opinion on it. Since youâre not in that bucket, your comments are invalid.
I donât care what others do but donât take away my discord!
Because they know the bots will get more accounts and generate even more money. The boxers will unsub.
Of note been a boxer since I 5 manned EQ dungeons and raids. Have two accounts today and I occassionally manually box them even today. I support boxing but dont like it being used with tools in PvP. And even then short of the one shot its easy. Kill the head and the boxer will struggle. Call in reinforcements and do it and then camp them into res sicknessâŚ
that kinda reminds me of the tin foil hat thing that says that antivirus software makers are creating viruses themselves and turning them loose.
