Policy Update for Input Broadcasting Software

No, it very much does not. It says that using multiboxing software is against the tos now, but you can still run a kvm or use virtual machines and have it send key clicks to each one. Also, if they turn around and say that is against tos as well, then they are effectively saying that multboxing period is cheating because you can’t multibox at all without doing that now.

Well I’ll quit playing then. Enjoy the revenue loss and the market disruptions.

We’ve examined the use of third-party input broadcasting software, which allows a single keystroke or action to be automatically mirrored to multiple game clients, and we’ve seen an increasingly negative impact to the game as this software is used to support botting and automated gameplay.

Some multi-boxing software allows for MOUSE broadcasting, automation, and botting which I have been firmly against for 14+ years. Such software should be the target of this policy.

BUT, as the developer for KEYCLONE, the original multi-boxing software tool, I can say it does not allow for any of this behavior.

KEYCLONE does not allow for botting or automated game play of any kind.

As a matter of fact, I specifically steered away from MOUSE broadcasting back in 2009 due to warnings I received.

KEYCLONE is literally the software equivalent of sharing one keyboard across multiple machines (or the old popsicle-stick method) using a keyboard multiplexer. This is the way of the hardware boxer.

I would like to speak with anyone who conducted an examination of KEYCLONE and came to a different conclusion.

Why is the only negative people are referring to that AH items will be more expensive? Man I am down to sell my stuff for more.

not exactly but its a hell of a good news, thats for sure

But let’s say you have 2 WoW screens running and you move each one separately and you go to a herd node and use both characters to run up to them manually and click on it, then that is fine. If you use any kind of software that controls the input so you push one button to do an action on all those screens, that is what they are stopping.

A bot is a character fully played by a software program… someone multiboxing is controlling all the characters by a human.

I don’t know if things will sell for more :thinking: With the nerfs to raw gold farming and lack of mission table gold if players have less gold then stuff can’t sell for more :man_shrugging:

I can’t like this hard enough.

Blizzard is so short-sighted. This won’t prevent resource farmers at all.

…wait - what did they do to the lootarang? (I’ve only played classic since it came out)

That never was the good old fashioned way, really? this? Multiboxing software was still used in vanilla, and those that didn’t use it jsut used a kvm or used virtual machines with shared keyboard input. It’s still 1 click 1 action now as it was then. That action goes to different tabs, but never has it been “alt+tab” that was used.

Yeah :joy: and hopefully this means no more naz again where armies of druid multiboxers quickly swooping in and farming every single node and the rest of us unable to get a single one.

see you in hell! never come back! please close the door when you get out, try not to be so butthurt!

KEYCLONE users do not impact resource pricing.
That would require mouse broadcasting to have all characters farm the same node… which KEYCLONE does not do.

Which is why KEYCLONE has been around since 2006
