Itâs not a ban on multiboxing, just automated 3rd party software the mimics keystrokes across multiple accounts simultaneously.
People are still free to multibox the legit way, and I donât even remember that kind of software being available until TBC.
I approve. I just wish Iâd had a chance to use a hyper radiant flame reflector against a 5 boxing pom pyro mage.
FINALLY.
Itâs insane that itâs taken this many years but who cares whatâs done is done at least moving forward it wonât be as big of a problem.

Not all of use input broadcasting software and multiboxers like me will be unaffected by this. That being said the majority of multiboxers do use isoboxer and are screwed
Blizz I have an addon that auto-completes quests and gossip for me with one click, that seems to violate 1 press = 1 action so I expect youâll be sending out notices to people who use these addons right

What about the people that have total automation or TELEPORTING AND FLYING AROUND THE WORLD LIKE A GM.

That is what I was thinking as in no software use or input which is what is stated which would make sense.
So many ways around it still and everyone will just go to virtual machines 
Now I finally have a solid reason to save over $150 a month in subs.
Yeah, one real person. Botting requires exactly zero people to be in front of the keyboard. Thatâs the key distinction.
If you want to argue multi-boxing is a problem because of the level of automation, well ok but they literally just said theyâre banning it soooooâŚ
Really big for TBC-Classic too

That is 3rd party software interacting with the game client as well. A blanket ban now means they can simply ban if they see 3rd party apps interacting with the client. It makes fighting this much easier.
and im still gonna MB using hardware kvm on mulitiple computers⌠since this is software only ban. everyone else can enjoy being broke

Clearly your just a minority.
As an on-again/off-again multiboxer, I find it funny lol.
Honestly multiboxers of today have completely abused how lenient Blizzard was towards us. Will save me some money for TBC, as 5x shaman was freaking awesome back then haha. It used to be a niche gameplay style where people for the most part ignored it, but some of the crap we can do today is over the line.
I really hope this cracks down on some of the botters now. As hopefully they can set their cheat detection to find them much easier now since they donât have to filter for âlegitâ multiboxers.

Yet most bot farms have people in front he of the keyboards to make sure a systemic failure doesnt happen to all or some of the clients for the hours they are using them to bot.
