Policy Update for Input Broadcasting Software

Get ready for the cost of mats to sky rocket.

Also - just an fyi multiboxing isn’t banned, replicating keystrokes is. You can still multibox.

Lastly - at least Blizz made a forum post about this time. In the past they’ve relied on twitter or after the fact notifications, as if as players we are somehow clairvoyant, so thanks for this at least.

Some good news to go along with today’s madness.

Have to disagree. There are plenty of things you can do with multiboxing that will not cripple the economy or grief players.
Whatever they decide, I do think they should change back to one mining/herbalism node one loot and a 5 cap on mob loot in open world content. I feel like this is a major reason they did it.
However, people can still cripple the economy by having 10 people follow someone collecting nodes and forming 2x4 hyper-spawn groups.
I know Blizzard is doing this under the guise to ban botters, but this is not going to fix the in-game economy.

and tokens and gold boosts

most boxers I speak with do it in order to avoid having to group with the typical toxic wow player

TOXIC wow players hurt the game far more than boxers ever have

What a joke this will not stop the boter’s you are punishing the average played who has more than one account. You are doing this because you cant be bothered (or it to hard) to get the real boters and gold sellers. Do it watch you subs drop so much it not funny. You just lost 5 more subs enjoy. and ps i have never used the extra soft ware i only tab between. but the the principle of the matter. Good bye

But it’s not bannable…unless you use software to do it. Luckily, before I switched to ISBoxer, I used the tried and true method of alt-tabbing to the other client on my second monitor.

So, I will continue to multibox my duo-team.

Lol! you went for the ‘hit to the wallet’ angle. :joy:

Pssst! right click those greens you got in your backpack if you need a few hundred extra gold…unless you we’re going to disenchant them. :wink:

Too funny though. Good one. :joy:

Banning behaviour is hard. Banning a piece of technology some people are using to misbehave and then declaring the problem solved is easy.

Ok so you are another one of those just trolling individuals. Blizzard’s official stance is that multiboxing is not cheating. You don’t need to agree but you are wrong. This generation is so disappointing. So many of you make huge emotional leaps with no logical thinking.

I have around 3 million gold I’ll be just fine

I had two druids I tried to multi-box but I was so bad at it they just ended up arguing. It was funny because people couldn’t tell what was going on.

Blizzard actually can’t control something like IO, or people being selective about who they recruit to their groups. Nothing you or they do will ever change that. It’s a leaderboard that people base their choices on. Even if you removed io (you never will, by the way.) it’ll be replaced or worked around fairly easily.

This is a third party program that directly impacts the game, that’s something that can be actioned directly.
