why are multiboxers so stubborn? even when blizzard bans the multiboxing program outright you spew stubbornness and delusions. whatever enjoy your playstyle while it lasts.
You clearly have no clue, I was 16 boxing the exact same area on all toons. 8 of them got account closed. I opened a ticket explaining that if I was botting why did only 8 of 16 get hit? They responded with it needs to be looked at by a separate team, after that they reduced the ban to a 6 month suspension, they stated that they discovered automation software on my computer, but that didnât happen because I wasnât running anything. They ban accounts that donât have real inputs often enough and they are tired of trying to figure out who is and isnât botting because they keep banning the wrong people. Reddit and other sites are FULL of people being banned and it being reversed, if you think that blizz reverses all false positives you are wrong. This is their response to try to solve their own ignorance.

Iâm not complaining, Just pointing out the facts this changes nothing.
But you donât need to if it changes nothing.
People like spreading mis-information, I enjoy stopping it.

Also that isnât what is happening here. No one knows what is going to happen.
LoL âpeople hate having to learn new thingsâ
Do you have any idea what a headache it was learning how to use ISboxer was for an absolute newb like me?
Unimaginable, but well worth it to kill rares and world bosses for mounts 5x as fast. If I have to learn something else or learn something less efficient without violating ToS, so be it.
An âalternativeâ lmao just say loophole. Youâre gonna be breaking the rules no matter what you use to multibot unless youâre alt tabbing and 1 stroke = 1 action
im almost wondering if them not knowingâŚis exactly why they made the change. see how many people really had an opinion on it. it gives Blizzard the perfect opportunity to see the uproar in there own sandbox on the issueâŚ
Ok all this BS⌠They have given everyone a warning saying this is not acceptable and now they are going to monitor and enforce. You can bot all you like but if you are caught they will punish you, so no screaming out i was banned and not botting.
So what if there is hardware or software, the point is they are watching and people report bott like behavior will investigated more. Simple do what you like , just remember they have warn us all.
No one knows what people will get banned here for. You are just posting your opinions. Well see how it goes once people start getting reported for trying to go around the rules.

No clue about what you were doing, true.
But do understand whenever this conversation happens it inevitably leads to âyes I was not at the keys when I was bannedâ or âI was hyperspawn farmingâ which is questionable behavior to begin with.
itâs not a matter of rules. itâs a matter of mathematics and code and understanding how technology actually works. even if they did make a rule against multiboxxing, it woudnât stop multiboxxers becuase thereâs no force on earth that would let the warden detection software out of a sandboxxed virtual environment. computer systems are not like the matrix, there is no mighty neo who can wave his hand and change ones and zeros into rainbows and zebras. the client and blizzardâs security software only detect bots and hacks that are actually on your machine, editing or affecting the memory or input on your computer. how they do said detection, i couldnât say because every company uses their own methods, but one thing is solid, immutable, unchangeable, and utterly ironclad fact.
they canât break a sandboxed environment on a virtual machine. the master system allocates and simulates all the parameters of a physical machine, and thatâs what the virtual machine thinks it is. thereâs no way for blizzard to get around that. so this change wonât stop the bots because the botters will just shift their software out of the virtual machine and up to a higher layer on the overall system. it wonât stop the legitimate multiboxers becuase input management is handled at the software layer of the machine hosting the virtual machines.
nah, theyâll just have to adjust their setup a little and theyâll be back. what works for the 20+ multiboxxers will also work for the smaller guys.
Itâs also the fact that they didnât ban multiboxing they banned software input broadcasters, nothing stops you from using a hardware input broadcaster, Itâs what we all used to use.
If they wanted multiboxing to go away all theyâd have to do is this
âWE DO NOT TOLERATE MULTIBOXING ANYMORE AND IT IS BANNABLEâ
Itâs a matter of hardware now.
People are not going to want to alt-tab their gameplay loop. Nope. I wonât. I could wire up my 2nd PC to do some dual boxing but I could also just not play. Not playing sounds better.
The guys 20+ boxing are using multiple machines already. So theyâre already mostly there if not fully there to keep trucking. Mind, 20+ boxing one spot is a helluva lot more rudimentary than 5 boxing M+ where youâre constantly splitting and moving characters individually.
You donât need anything complicated to hyperspawn farm on 20 accounts. Nor do you need anything complicated to farm herb nodes. Follow still exists and what? Multiple mice stacked side by side to pick herbs one by one which by the way many did already.
Itâs a disproportionate hit to people who actually play the game. Like the /follow change.
The assumption is we must have been cheating to be banned but the simple fact is that Blizzard has a very hard time telling the difference between multiboxers, botters, and multiboxing botters. So they get it wrong sometimes, and you just have to eat the ban.

Youâre generalizing all multiboxers as botters/gold farmers and have completely glossed over the fact its two completely different communities that only share a software.
Itâs not more common because of this program, botting has and always will be present in MMOâs. The software will change, but thatâs about it.
In the end the only people being affected by this are the people who were playing legit and in accordance with the ToS at the time. Once those players are gone, all you will be left with are the botters and gold farmers. You won nothing and lost good players who just wanted to play a unique playstyle. People who would go out of there way to stop farming when someone came through, who would assist in rare and elite kills, who spent there gold on the AH to pay for their subs and buy gear to keep their team up to snuff.

Iâm already in the process of sourcing and testing computers that can run wow for as cheap as possible and setting up multiplexers among other things to get back up and running. They said they will warn us first so Iâm going to set up VMâs first. The last GM I talked with exclusively stated that he doesnât know what is or isnât allowed which is super reassuringâŚ
I have difficulty with this because I multiboxed WoW from Wrath to BFA. Never once did any GM speak with me about what I was doing nor did anyone ever suspend or ban any of my accounts. Not once in all these years. This being in an open world with other people no doubt smashing their report buttons in anger just seeing me in the world with them.
Where I sit they donât do it lightly.
