Policy Update for Input Broadcasting Software

For a lot of folks, it adds a depth of complexity and interest to the game, keeping it fresh, even after 14 years.

Clearly you’ve never multiboxed. It takes more skill than playing a single toon, not less.

It’s a pr stunt. They can say they ban the software and the anti mbers scream in joy and in a few days they wonder why there are still so many multi boxers running because there are so many easy to use ways to mb this change doesn’t cover.

It’s like people never heard of multiple cheap computers with numpads using macros

It better be extra movie butter though lol

At least you’ll be able to invest your money towards something more productive now than flaunting on a forum how many Horde you killed while pressing buttons in a video game.

15,000 USD from me alone over the last 10 years.

I’m glad you’re wealthy enough to discard 15k so easily.

But like said it’s not a huge loss. The game is trash.

Same. There are in game addons that will strobe follow and mount your team for you. All in all this announcement changes nothing about the economy. Change it to one node>one loot like it used to be and get rid of this hyper-spawn nonsense while they’re at it and we’ll be golden. Oh. And start detecting actual bots

Of course I haven’t multiboxed because it’s cheating. When they start creating this game around playing 10 characters at once with 3rd party software to imitate keystrokes across characters, then I’ll start multiboxing. There’s no real skill involved. Only cheating and creating an unfair environment.

You’re not a taxpayer and you have no say in how Blizzard operates. You paid for a service, they gave it to you. Look elsewhere

The complainer have no idea how difficult it is to do it.

They just seem to think you click 2 buttons and everything is done.

The little I did it, multiboxing was more of a challenge and more fun than raiding. It was l8keold raiding all prep and less once things work

It isn’t cheating just because a vocal hate group calls it that.

Well I dont think honestly what they spend there money on is any of your business tbh just like its not my business what u spend yours on
or how much you pay for your house or car or how much you make a hour

That is because they actually think it is automated gameplay.

There wouldnt be any complaints if they knew that you actually have to made all the decisions yourself and press the right buttons.

When you’re walking around in BGs and one shotting people with 5 characters or ganking people as one player in world PVP, it’s cheating.

Why do people act like this is a ban against multiboxing, All it is, Is a ban against broadcast software, There are so many ways to mirror inputs to multiple clients it isn’t funny, Up to and including physical methods which were what were used originally.

Nowhere here does blizzard state multiboxing is banned.

That wasn’t the point I was making.

When the pandemic is officially done and people are allowed to be human again they won’t be sitting behind a PC playing an inferior game. Then we will see the fairweather fans of the game gone. It’ll only be the hardcore audience.

This change cuts into that hardcore audience. So right now the inflated numbers make it look like a good move. Let’s see what it looks like when those inflated numbers are gone.

I think some are smart enough to know you have to press buttons but most have no idea how much work is involved in setting up a team

Hi I’m here from 2013 with an important announcement about multiboxer rule changes in BGs.

Thank you. It only took you
 what? 16 years?

I have never PVP’d nor gathered the same node with multiple toons. I multibox because it’s entertaining to go out and quest like that. It’s entertaining to set up the macros and location of spells on multiple toons. It’s more convenient to click on the same quest reward once instead of alt tab and click and trading between my two toons is easier. I just genuinely enjoy the gameplay.
