Really, you didnt see it coming? Multiboxing is cheating. Banning it is long overdue.

Good job Blizzy Wizzy
Look I donât multi box and it doesnât bother me that itâs bannable or not.
The issue is with this they only stop casuals from doing it not the real money organisations.

This is a good day for wow.

Luckily Blizz doesnât agree with you, since Multiboxing still isnât actionable.

I remember fighting (random battlegrounds) a guy/gal multiboxing a ton of druids on several occasions. Was funny for awhile. The minute they targeted you, you were toast.
True⊠you just have to swap control of each character now, instead of mapping them all (by program or mechanically) to the same keypress. The former isnât really an issue (as most can agree). The latter is finally gone, and GOOD RIDDANCE to that!

Also note this lowers the barrier for a lot of people when it comes to reporting. Instead of âwell could they be using hardwareâŠhmm, maybe I shouldnât report?â, itâll now be âyeah I donât care anymore, reported and good riddance if they were doing somethingâ.

I multibox all the timeâŠitâs called 2 accounts one does all the work while the other just sits there and completes the WQ or I do the quest on one, then the other and then go to the next place via 2 person mounts and or FPs.

Hey! Youâre right! Everyoneâs opinion is relative to themselves! The relevance of those opinions to others is, however, roughly relative to how much they relate to you.
Playing 10 accounts, and paying for an additional forum account, is basically unrelatable for the overwhelming majority of players.
Despite my use of âno one,â itâs usually understood that people are typically hyperbolic in their statements. Itâs also usually understand that things are fluid, and that since I talked about âregular playersâ vs âYesuna level playersâ the whole âno one caresâ doesnât mean literally no one, but no one outside of Yesunaâs play style, which is so small as to be unappreciated by the overwhelming majority.
I know you thought you were being very clever, so Iâm really sorry here, but the only funny bit here is you.

I am unfortunately not in possession of account holdings of the playerbase 
Neither am I, however we can use some relatively basic logic to infer the likelihood of it.
Which is to say that itâs exceedingly unlikely that more than a small group are paying $150/month to play a game. I wonât include expansion costs because that would assume that boxxers are all playing current content, which isnât something Iâm willing to guess about.
Youâll probably need to explain how this damages regular players.
That never stopped me.

He means âregular playersâ as in âthe fringe players who play with more than one account at once to double down on the bonuses of play.â
Honestly the whole thing is cheating. Thereâs a thin veneer of âmultiple charactersâ but itâs been so automated for years that the only reason anyone can provide for lack of cheating is: âIt takes effort to setup, itâs a bit harder to control, and itâs not all on one character.â
Which is to say âI had to put extra effort in to cheat at the outset, and sometimes to keep it up.â Like, you know, all forms of cheating in general.
Itâs not harmful to the rest of us.
Edit:
What he wants you to see is âpaying players,â but wants you to swiftly ignore how he could do 5 things in the time it took you to do 1 thing, simply because he paid more money. Blizzard is doubling back and arguing against that unless you can literally put in 5x the effort. Now theyâre mad because they donât want to put in 5x the effort, thatâs why theyâre multiboxing.

Well⊠I tend to agree, but also itâs fairly well known that multiboxers have always been a fringe community. Not only has Blizzard been very clear about not supporting the behavior âas such,â but issues relating to it have never been supported.
We canât âproveâ that theyâre the minority, but I think itâs a solid observation that they appear to be a significant minority.
If I had to make a guess I would say the same 
Multiboxing is a draining activity and I doubt many people would enjoy it.

I think we just came to a personal agreement, and I want to mark this event with some kind of internet badge. Does this even happen?
