I’m not a solo player. I Multibox, and have been very vocal on these forums about how it isn’t the same as botting or cheating. But ya, go ahead and just presume you know how I play.
For the record, I also pay full US$ price for my accounts. I just know that there are ways around if if you so choose.
Except this isn’t shadowlands… this is classic, and it feels good for classic cause they’re aren’t layers so we’ll see the botters still and they much easier to 100% spot this way as well for everyone involved.
this change in ToS is for classic and retaill… read the root post its for all wow
I guess I never really used them that much for imaging pc’s all thats scripted anyway and they require little input directly to them.
Yes but you could be posting about shadowlands on the retail forums where they have there own post and it would be relevant to those players.
WOW…I was not expecting this. But, that’s how these things go. Too many people were using multi boxing for botting/exploiting. They ruined it for everybody.
Multiboxing is inherently “pay to win”. People hate pay to win and thus they hate multiboxing. Token is pay to win, Classic players hate the token. Botting leads to gold selling which is pay to win, Classic players hate botting.
Banning multiboxing doesn’t eliminate all pay to win methods from the game. But it sure does eliminate some. I didn’t like when I ate a flameshock from 5 shamans at the same time on route to BWL. I didn’t like it because that guy was more powerful than me purely because he paid real life money for that advantage. Now, he lost that advantage. And now I feel good.
classic andy mad we in your post?
honestly quit giving blizzard any respect for this change…they waited until literally the LAST PATCH of classic to do this, which effectively means it accomplishes nothing because all the damage has been done.
No it isn’t.
And how would that have been different if those 5 Flame Shocks had come from 5 different players controlling 5 Shaman rather than a single person controlling them?
Answer: You still would have eaten 5 Flame Shocks.
Multiboxing isn’t the problem you are looking to combat if THAT is what you’re worried about.
Wow screw this man
wow you’re actually doing it!!! nice job Blizzard!!
@startuptimpa
No king rules forever, my son.
Finally! yes! keep the great work Blizz! Bye-bye multi boxers!
Answer: those flameshocks wouldn’t be perfectly synchronized and would thus allow me to react.
Would they though? If you stumbled on a group of 5 Shaman and they all cast Flame Shock on you a second apart, do you think the result would be different?
You’re reaching, and you know it.
How about round robin key function. If I press a key 5 times it does 5 fireballs? Is this ok ?
How does one merge two accounts into one? Don’t need my three accounts anymore.
Yes, but it wasn’t 5 different players each dedicating time to it. It was 1 guy dedicating time to it for his personal amusement and advantage over otherplayers by, paying more in sub money and botting the keystrokes.
Seems good in theory. In practice… they can’t even detect and shut down botters reliably. This seems much more difficult to detect and is probably much more wide-spread. Plus, how do they distinguish between mechanical and software input duplication? Seems more like a PR move than anything. They’ll probably hit the streamers and a few large-scale offenderes but I doubt it’ll effect most people realistically.
