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 wasnā€™t half an hour ago

Bye to your friend.

iā€™m not even a multi-boxer, i just think itā€™s legitimately ridiculous that people thing thereā€™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.

ā€¦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 wonā€™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 foreverā€¦ itā€™s not legitimate gameplay at all

Whyā€¦why did you use a picture of malfurion here?

@blizzard

You know what - Iā€™m just going to keep playing the way I have since Burning Crusade, using AutoHotKey. Iā€™ve always been legit, forthright about how I play, I donā€™t automate or cheat, Iā€™ve stayed within the Terms of Service you folks set out:

ā€¦and if you want to ban me suddenly, I guess that is within your rights to do so. Itā€™ll make me a sad panda, Iā€™ll admit. But Iā€™ve never cheated at this game, and killing me off because of the actions of others isnā€™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 canā€™t make fun of how someone bragging itā€™s completely by the law and heā€™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 donā€™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 arenā€™t traditional mouse and keyboard?

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

Thatā€™s not exactly how it works and it has been forbidden for that reason

Now, what was I wondering?

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. Itā€™s about time you did something about the cheaters. Theyā€™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.
