Because some it’s fun? Some find it a challenge to manage that many characters?
My healing touch. C’here rankin
So would everyone be cool with fighting a multiboxer, 1vs15 in pvp?

Why do I even bother coming into these threads trying to defend multi-boxers. FFS
Do you have a habit of taking on 15 characters solo?

Why would you ever want to fight 15 characters by yourself?
Ask a silly question, get a silly question in return.
Asking why people do things that they enjoy is like wondering why you would do anything in the game at all.

“Yeah, I like being able to do multi man content solo”
Simple answer like that, explaining your position. But hey, be a jerk
I get that already. LOL. The get the same amount per node hit just x the number of toons they are running. They also get the more valuable items faster as well. If you loot a green every 100 times (just an example, not sure of green drop rate averages) it would mean that after killing 5 mobs they would average a green if they are running 20 toons.
I’m not the one demanding that people justify their play style.
Off topic but I am looking at your portrait and…um…WTH is coming out of your nose man, that is disgusting.
Anyone who think’s multiboxing isn’t unfair should be easily be able to beat a multiboxer fighting you with his 15 toons at once.

Anyone who thinks they can beat 15 characters is not arguing in good faith.

Good, so now we have established that multiboxing gives an unfair advantage.

But you can defend your position as a Multi boxer. Explain that software isn’t a problem ( It isn’t), explain why you do it and what perks you get from doing it.
Dispell the stigma of multiboxing
No more than grouping up does.
Semantics issue #1:
Is using one keyboard to send signals to multiple instances of WoW automation? In other words, what is the definition of automation as it applies to WoW?Using a keyboard setup like what you’re describing? Not automation.
Setting up a macro with said keyboard that would, for example, automatically press Fireball each time it was available? Automation.Semantics issue #2:
Software (such as Keyclone, Octopus, etc) to emulate a keyboard multiboxing solution is, by nature, “3rd party”. Is “3rd party software” synonymous with “bot” or “automation”? Are all types of “3rd party software” bannable?
Likewise, hardware, by nature, is “3rd party”. What kinds (or uses) of 3rd party hardware are bannable?Is it sending an identical signal to all client windows or switching between them to send commands? Not automation.
Is it playing the game for you, or rather, for one of your client windows? Automation.
All hardware is considered neutral as long as its commands and features are not being used to automate gameplay.Semantics issue #3:
Does multiboxing give a player an in-game advantage?Yes --and so does grouping.
Therefore, can multiboxing be considered an exploit?
No. We consider it be an alternative playstyle; not everyone can do it, but if a person is willing to devote the concentration and capital to such a venture–legitimately–we’re perfectly fine with it. Five multiboxed accounts can be feared and CCed just like five solo accounts.
Semantics issue #4:
Multiboxing can be considered by some as “against the spirit of the game” or, at least, "against the spirit of the game the way I want to play it ". Is multiboxing against the “spirit of the game”?See above.
Semantics issue #5:
Multiboxers provide Blizzard with a significant amount of extra income, and that, and only that, is the reason why is it currently allowed. True/false?Patently false. All accounts should be allowed to be played as they see fit provided that they’re playing within our policies. In cases of mulitboxing, all accounts involved are playing the same as any other account, only simultaneously.
Semantics issue #6:
Multiboxing is only allowed because there is no reliable way for Blizzard to find, identify, and catch them. True/false?Almostly hilariously false .

Hey Mariela did you try party syncing yet?! 
I’d never want you guys to shutup, these multiboxing threads are my prime source of entertainment 
I don’t think a copy and paste is that difficult and I’m sure Blizz would just say the current version includes all support articles
Take it to court then, I’d 100% come and sit in on that lol
I don’t wpvp but I kind of want to give it a try against a multiboxer lol. Knowing /follow is broken in pvp combat I think I could take them, just keep their team at a distance and chip away. They shouldn’t be able to kill me unless they got the drop on me lol.
Account cap is 50, I was nearing that and needed more. Only option was to buy another account, figured I’d just multibox since I have to get another account, decided to scale it up to 5, now I have 124 120s, 5 more soon to come!
No, I don’t think that’s how that works. I’m a multiboxer but I don’t pvp and my most geared character is 430 ilvl, so if a 480 R1 arena master were to fight me he’d stomp me ezpz, 15 characters or not. Win some lose some bro

Well time to pack it in. I’ll leave you with something that explains all these MB threads.
Stop demanding that people justify themselves for your amusement. I might as well demand that Priests justify their class or we should ban it if I don’t like the answer. That’s not how it works.
Also? There is no “stigma” of multiboxing. There’s just a few people who have done zero research into multiboxing (or the EULA) who think they know more about the game than Blizzard.
Arena master or not, I don’t think anyone can overcome the fact that your attacks do 15X as much damage as theirs do. And You have 15X as much health. If they pick a healing-able class their toons will simply never die.
Its hard to know more when the rules don’t really matter, get made up or changed on a whim for $15.
