Well apparently blizzard decided it was cheating or near enough to that they hit it with a nuke

So turns out it is cheating now and wasn’t half an hour ago

Bye to your friend.

i’m not even a multi-boxer, i just think it’s legitimately ridiculous that people thing there’s somehow an advantage. everything a multi boxer can do, multiple people can do better. but no one calls for the banning of discord.

I am fine with that, just make farmer alts.

…this software is used to support botting and automated gameplay

Why not figure out a way to directly stop said behavior instead of this hoopeful, lazy method? This is not going to stop botting OR multiboxing, all this is doing is making it 1% harder to multibox.

So now I won’t be able to afford anything on the AH? Especially since they nerfed gold sources.

Thanks blizzard.
Such an amazing change.

Really hated being able to afford stuff

Faith in Blizzard restored. +1 heart

Why did you let it go on for 16 years? This is completely RIDICULOUS

Auto hot key is automated gameplay and has been bannable since forever… it’s not legitimate gameplay at all

Why…why did you use a picture of malfurion here?

@blizzard

You know what - I’m just going to keep playing the way I have since Burning Crusade, using AutoHotKey. I’ve always been legit, forthright about how I play, I don’t automate or cheat, I’ve stayed within the Terms of Service you folks set out:

…and if you want to ban me suddenly, I guess that is within your rights to do so. It’ll make me a sad panda, I’ll admit. But I’ve never cheated at this game, and killing me off because of the actions of others isn’t a cool thing to do.

Because it has grown exponentially over the last couple years and the players have basically drawn way too much attention to themselves running 20+ accounts just to see if they can.

But I agree, Blizz is going overboard here. There was a better way to handle this.

Nothing about that means I can’t make fun of how someone bragging it’s completely by the law and he’s done nothing wrong is now considered banable.

Same way everyone came into my thread on PullTheRipcord telling me to delete the thread when Ion came out saying they don’t agree with it.

A concern I may have is will this affect software used by disabled players so they can use other control methods that aren’t traditional mouse and keyboard?

Sighhh multiboxing isn’t cheating. Anyone could have done it. You just chose not to. Stop with the self-righteous rant.

That’s not exactly how it works and it has been forbidden for that reason

I feel its getting into a cost vs reward scenario here. Now need a physical input to change between accounts, keep them synced up, run 20+ PCs heat/electric, look at people who mine bitcoin even with 10+ low end machines running high bills for power.

Finally. It’s about time you did something about the cheaters. They’ve drove so many people away from the game. 3 Months into classic my friends all quit playing because of the amount of multiboxers destroying the economy.
