The Fact that Somebody at Blizzard thought this was a good idea really shows how much Blizzard has lost touch with the WoW Community.
Multi Boxing is not Botting - Controlling multiple accounts with input broadcasting software add an element of difficulty to the gameplay
what exactly does the (ISBOXER) input broadcasting do simply put it broadcasts the input from the 1 to = Keyas to each window
It Does not allow you to auto-loot ( you still have to swap clients)
it takes Longer to Quest ( as you have to loot Quest items on each window )
the only benefits to input broadcasting is being able to sync your action bar
ISBOXER - Allows you to organize multiple client windows across multiple monitors , it provides not automation, no tools to make the game easier than a person playing solo
Each Account is still PAID for separately
Every Kill gets Manually Looted ( so it doesnt matter if its 3 accounts of 50 accounts the user still has to swap clients and click to loot on each one )
Multiboxers have been part of wow since its beginning Blizzard just Cut a very large Chunk from their profit as Tens of Thousands maybe HUndreds of Thousands of accounts will now go inactive, WOW Tokin Sales will Drop, Character Services and boosts will Drop, Future Xpack Sales will drop
( the fact they did this so close to the release of Shadowlands also shows they knew the hit would affect its sales so they waited until now many boxers have bought multiple copies of shadowlands whatever the next Xpack is will have far less sale s )
Blizzard will lose a very large amount of the Population
I dont doubt there were players that abused Mboxing in some way but there has also been a very large population of players that only used it for their enjoyment of the game and will now go to other titles
Blizzard - Bad Form now a player that has played and paid faithfully since Origonal Beta and many like him are closing down several accounts.
Chris Metzenās new game will KILL WoW Bring it on
I donāt NEED to multibox, I do it because itās fun. Just like you donāt NEED to play this game at all. You play it because itās, I assume, fun.
Your entire post is strictly based on your opinion of the play style. You donāt see the point because the playstyle has no point to you. Open your mind and consider it from a different perspective.
I understand toxic forms of multiboxing exist and most are due to botters and gold farmers. I donāt understand why people feel itās necessary to lump everyone who multibox into the same crowd. Spamming /spit and sending hate filled whispers to someone just standing in town or doing a quest is simply toxic behaviour and utterly unnecessary.
Amusing considering you can accomplish the same effect with hardware and thatās not disallowed. The only way to get banned for this is for using the software, aka flagged by warden. I will repeat.
The only thing that has been banned is input broadcasting software, nothing else.
yepā¦ i mean for sure a bunch of players who all happen to hit the same abilities at exactly the same time for hours on end. Perfect software grade precisionā¦ oops!
Its really not difficult to work out who is multiboxing and who is really a selection of players with different machines on different internet connections with different reaction times and who are in general, human with all the imperfections they come with. Its really not.
I mean if you can point me towards the pvp rank vendor? People have been selling runs and stuff for along time before tokens came out. Its what the top tier guilds do to fund their prep for the following raid tier or world first race. hardly a new thing
A: Multiboxing is allowed.
B: Hardware options were not banned.
C: I was not saying anything about them being the same as each other in regards to the rules. I was saying those things can be accomplished without multiboxing.
Hello, i have question if i use HotkeyNet for a convenient arrangement of windows on the monitor, but I do not use the translation of keys into these windows, is this allowed or can it also be punished by blocking?
I can tell you I know a lot of people who were planning to at least multibox to level mainly at the higher rankings but a few in mid tier. Especially since the change to the maw to make it a daily dumbness requirement.
If the software is running, Warden is going to detect it. It doesnāt matter how you use it, or even if you use it at all. If itās running, youāre going to be flagged.
Therefore, I am writing here for a response from the developers, and not from ordinary players who cannot understand that Blizzard has banned programs that duplicate clicks in windows and not multiboxing in general
I will press the keys with my own hands the program will not instantly send my clicks to other windows but this is allowed I want to know if I can use programs that will simplify the setting of my windows with characters thatās all
I understand perfectly what the new policy states. Iām trying to explain to you that it doesnāt matter how or why you use the software. If you use it at all while you are playing, your account is going to be flagged for using prohibited software.
I wouldnāt bother asking individuals for their interpretation of the new rules, we just need them published in black and white. The warnings that are currently being emailed out have a link to a tos that 404s, probably because the new tos isnāt liveā¦ GG,bots?
I can still multibox. Its not too bad because I can still farm herbs without keystroke software. Just have to tab between screens to click herbs, and then hit my /follow macro.
