Policy Update for Input Broadcasting Software

having this opinion is not allowed in this thread bro. just because it automates gameplay on 19 different characters doesnt mean its unfair. are you dense or dumb?

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:45am

You are dense if you think this is automating, It’s not, We’ve explained how it isn’t you choose to be dense.

you forget the stuff you sell will sell for way more to how hard is this to figure out?

Newromantics-malganis · November 4, 2020, 6:46am

keep being wrong buddy. third party automation is banned haha!

Wildsinger:

Except nothing about it was actually automated, It was always 1 input 1 output, You can’t make multiple actions magically occur at a server level, Multiboxing doesn’t bypass the GCD, A multiboxer will never be as good as an equal amount of equally skilled people.

Broadcast software was literally the equivalent of yelling out “OI DAVE GO TURN THE LIGHTS ON” in a workplace that had multiple people named DAVE, It didn’t create additional daves, It didn’t spawn in someone called steve to wipe your backside for you, There was no automated part.

All this change does is remove the Megaphone i was using to call every dave, It doesn’t actually change anything else at the end of the day, Hardware multiplexing and hypervisor multiplexing are still VERY much a thing and very much allowed

Not to mention hardware multiplexing and using hypervisors was always more efficient.

So instead of using a Megaphone to shout out to all Daves at the same time, What i’m going to do is buy each Dave a phone, Buy multiple phones, Call every Dave and put each phone on speaker and then tell Dave to turn the lights on.

This is called hardware Multiplexing and Hypervisor Multiplexing.

It’s

Not

automation

Not really. You can run 20 characters with the software and run a pretty full rotation. Assumimg they’re all the same class and spec.

You can run a couple physically, but It would be far less optimal.

Newromantics-malganis · November 4, 2020, 6:48am

i aint reading all that. happy for u though or sorry it happened. banned woo!

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:49am

You wont read it because you know i am right and you can’t accept that you are wrong here, There is no automation, this wont change anything, And those who still want to multibox will multibox they just have to change their setup slightly.

Reckquiem-tichondrius · November 4, 2020, 6:49am

They literally said the software is not allowed.

Ghasty-wyrmrest-accord · November 4, 2020, 6:50am

What of multi-class multiboxers? This, I’ve only seen 1 instannce of on a personal account, but a raid of groups of multiple classes all in one set command.

Kaurmine-area-52 · November 4, 2020, 6:50am

Why do you think that? Software has always just done what hardware did before

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:50am

Is still perfectly fine, Again only keystroke broadcasting software is being banned, You can do everything with a hardware multiplexxer and acheive the same result in a far more efficient manner.

Newromantics-malganis · November 4, 2020, 6:51am

i dont need to read it. because blizzard banned the software :3. if its more difficult for you to abuse the game it makes me happy still.

Nimbletim-lothar · November 4, 2020, 6:51am

This is not and never was automation outside what the game mechanics allowed. The keypress is not being duplicated, its being broadcast as a simultaneous input to multiple clients.

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:52am

except we never were abusing the game.

I’ve never seen someone so thick they have to be trolling.

Newromantics-malganis · November 4, 2020, 6:52am

so youre telling me. if i open 2 wows right now and press a key both of my characters will cast an ability?

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:53am

With a hardware multiplexxer yes, if you have a ruler sticky taped to two keys on two keyboards plugged into either a pair of computers or two virtual machines (which is what hardware multiplexxing at a basic level actually is)

yes

Ghasty-wyrmrest-accord · November 4, 2020, 6:53am

Was said broadcasting software breaking game code or doing something that was a security risk, then?

If keystroke mirroring software was to be taken action against, then wouldn’t other means of gaining the same result also fall into the same court?

Nimbletim-lothar · November 4, 2020, 6:54am

Yes, because banning software has always stopped the abusers from abusing?
This only limits the “legit” players, the botters that used it will create new and harder to track software to accomplish the same thing.

Wildsinger-moon-guard · November 4, 2020, 6:54am

Keystroke mirroring allowed one bot to control multiple clients, There were botters using keystroke mirroring for BAD things and multiboxers copped the hit for it aswell.
