Policy Update for Input Broadcasting Software

They are still allowing multiboxing to happen. You just have to use a KVM Switch instead of a program

Should you be correct, the first person I hear complain about the price of potions, etc
I’m gonna be like,'hey man, don’t Zarikas-on ‘bout mat prices
’ in your honor. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I mean


I multibox, and this isn’t going to affect me, honestly. I’m only a two-accounter, but I’ve always been a “shadowboxer” as opposed to a true multiboxer with passthrough software. So this gets a big :woman_shrugging: from me.

I do think that the benefit conveyed by having multiple accounts and passthrough software is vastly overestimated by most people, though, especially since they often confuse the ability of passthrough software to actually be fully automated. I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease since people wouldn’t stop complaining about an imagined massive benefit.

The one thing that I can totally see though is how passthrough software could be very hard to distinguish from botting software on Blizzard’s end. That, I respect. Especially since I know that boxing software was getting more and more into gray areas by mirroring mouseclicks and navigation controls.

You remember what he did to the orc in that cutscene?

That’s what’s happening to multiboxers.

Simple, todo seguirĂĄ igual solo que un poco mas difĂ­cil, esto es un pote de humo!!!

Now you’re just trolling.

:wink:

Passthrough software is what they are banning here though, so this does very much affect you.

ugreen usb 3.0 sharing switch allows the use of two computers to use the same mouse and keyboard and the switch button delay is low due to win10 plug and play.

In a combat you would need to use a healer that is proactive and not reactive such as a druid and a tank that is your main focus.

Farming without flying is a lot easier when on ground mounts and the follow in open world still works. Accounts just need to have their client windows set up so that mouse travel is the greatest challenge.

Multiboxing is not going away, it is the mirror software such as ISBoxer.

If you want to be sure though wait and find out if they ban the usb keyboard sharing switch

Read what I wrote again.

I have two accounts that I play simultaneously, multiboxing, but I don’t use passthrough software.

I “shadowbox”, which is basically just tabbing back and forth between the windows when you want to do anything, and having one or more characters basically be useless on /follow while the lead character drives.

Most multiboxers were buying tokens and not paying for their accounts anyhow /shrug.

If so, long time no chat. I sold all my WoW businesses but used to box classic. I saw this coming as ISB has a large subscription base hired by a few of the larger farming transaction sites (internal threads even link ISB referral keys). LUA unlockers and documentation even makes heavy reference to how to use these softwares.

Unfortunately your software, and MB as a whole, is getting nuked due to the advanced complexity of these other softwares.

That said, how you doing? I like keeping track of former competition :slight_smile:

Holy crap this is one of the best decisions Blizzard has ever made.

If consistency were the goal, I don’t see how they can ban one and not the other.

(Hint: Consistency is not the goal)

Poor multiboxers, I feel for them.

Yeah, it totally reads like you are saying you are a shadowboxer with passthrough software, I had to break it down to get that you meant something else. The way you worded it makes it go either way depending on where you put the emphasis.
