Let’s use the phrase, “now against the ToS”?

This change doesn’t actually make multiboxing itself “now against the ToS”, only the use of software to transfer one keypress to every client currently being used.

one question though, i have a razer keyboard and mouse am I okay ?

If your macroing multiple automated actions to a single key press then no -that’s effectively botting. Simply owning the keyboard where one press = one action is fine

[Genkisei-scarlet-crusade]

Thank you so much!

[Cerendor-cenarion-circle]

Ah ok, now I got it. So they will just find a new way.

Well, at least Blizzard is heading in the right direction.

Thanks for the link. Not sure if you were agreeing with me or not, but that link certain does.

no different than five people in the same room doing the same thing

5 Different people =/= 1 Guy posing as 5

Insane Mental gymnastics. Multiboxer mentallity everyone. There he goes with the weird loopholes!

Yep… Have to admit I’d be interested in knowing what was the ‘last straw’ prompting this change.

My guess, rampant growth. There have always been multi-boxers, but BfA exploded with them.

[Níhilian-pagle]

B) it’s called a KVM it’s how people multiboxed before the key broadcasting software was a thing.

[Oakshall-aerie-peak]

Going to be a massive drop in subs after this… Unfortunate

[Nippysmilk-barthilas (Nippysmilk)]

What type of complaint is this?

You weren’t even playing the healer because it was bad and made it a hand bag to another class when you could simply swap the spec anywhere in the game to the dps spec the class has and then play the class you’re trying to level

Like what

[Cerendor-cenarion-circle]

Yeah, I get it now.

[Boomzee-zuljin]

Nobody will miss you.

[Tellurium-stormrage]

You mean decrease of the value of in game tokens. Most Multiboxers not paying $$$$

[Nekromantic-dalaran]

This is essentially: It’s not technically ILLEGAL to walk, but we’re gonna break both your legs.

[Aranhod-illidan (Aranhod)]

SHADILAY!

For real though, why did they decide on this 10 character limit? There are plenty of short posts that are perfectly reasonable, and way more long posts that are worthless.

[Zynthiax-moon-guard]

Because they are still allow multiboxing? What they don’t allow is using programs to send out keystrokes. But there is still ways to go around Blizzards ban…

[Revolutîon-arathor (Revolutîon)]

Ultimately this is great for the long term health of the game. not much else to say really.

Well…except you actually do that to create a macro for a character to activate abilities. I’m assuming you mean using software, not a macro.
