Well, that’s sad. I used hotkeynet to dualbox 2 characters, mostly on classic wow. Just another reason for me to move on from this game in the long term, and short time I guess that’s one less account to support.

Wrong there is still ways to do that without a software it will just cost them more money.

Not in classic.

Not supported meant their customer service wouldn’t assist anyone in setting the software up or troubleshooting it. Then all of the sudden it’s banned changing the terms of service which users did not agree to, yet.

Multiboxing has nothing to do with botting. Botting had a user press “go” and the program does everything without any user interaction.

The only problem I have with this action is that it wasn’t done sooner.
numpads and a cheap stick of wood (just use macros)
Monitor setup (can use simple cheap laptops if you really want - just turn settings to low and follow on main system)

None of these use broadcasting software… It old school and if Blizzard tried to remove these people in the same hose couldn’t play together…

Multiboxing does not automate gameplay an action is performed for every button press and not by the program on its own.Additionally any program that actually automated gameplay was against the terms of service. The “not supported part” was all about Blizzard providing zero customer support for multiboxing software.

You realize before software broadcasters we used hardware multiplexers right? There is still a way to multibox, And it’s really cheap too, It just requires a little setup nothing more.
Multiboxing isn’t a bannable thing, Blizzard doesn’t care, They are simply saying no to software broadcasters.

so many people acting like hardware setups weren’t and aren’t a thing.
Thesedays we don’t need wooden sticks and multiple keyboards to perform a hardware setup, You just plug the keyboard and mouse into a multiplexxer and that multiplexxer into either MANY computers or many VIRTUAL machines, And it acheives the same thing.

Thing is, if this sort of behavior is bannable it doesn’t really matter if it’s detectable. I imagine most of the Software is already not really detectable, due to law requirements the Warden can’t check other software running on your machine, but now if a multiboxer is reported and it’s clear some mirroring is going on - software or hardware - that’s bannable, and that’s easy to notice from simply looking at logs.
Actually it’s not bannable at all, They don’t want a software broadcaster. That’s it, THAT IS LITERALLY Verbatim their statement
They also state Multiboxing is NOT a bannable offense.
Hardware multiplexers are fine.
PS: you allow warden to check contents of your system memory when you accepted terms of use how exactly did you think anti cheat software worked fam? By magic and fairy dust?
It doesn’t sit there and ask if your cheating.

The sad part is there are ONLY 2 reason to ban multi boxing:
- I just got killed in PvP (hey remove PvP first then we can talk multi boxing)
- I can’t herb enough to be the richest person on the server (no I don’t really wanna play the auction house because that’s too tough to figure out)
To me, when I did multi box, it was like playing the old D&D computer games where you controlled your entire party - its straight up old school RPG.
Too bad WoW doesn’t want to be an RPG anymore just an MMO E-Sport

Also, a wow monthly subscription in 2004 costs $14.99/month, the same price as today. Calculated for inflation, the monthly sub should cost about $20.50/month now but blizzard has never changed the price.
Blizzard can’t look outside its game memory. Glider teach that a long time ago, since bot softwares injected code, they just need time to adapt on how not to get caught. I’m on the team who thinks Blizzard can do whatever it want, but the consequences of their actions might not be what they expect nor to the community. Maybe the game gets better, maybe it doesn’t. Just time will tell.
Code is injected because it’s easier to manipulate things when your operating in the same memory set as wow is, But Warden very much can scan the system memory, It cannot READ encrypted memory by other things but it can check running process ID’s and match memory usage patterns against KNOWN offenders.
This wont change the game for the better, Multiboxers who really enjoy it will just get a hardware KVM, The big guys running heaps of accounts will just keep chugging on as most of them run hardware KVM’s aswell.
The botters? they didn’t care about the rules they were botting anyway, Now they are just breaking 2 rules instead of one.
