Why was no warning given for the policy change towards Multiboxing?

  1. The notice is the warning
  2. They always said that their stance could change on this matter. And that happened.

Two great things happened today!

85

Indeed.

First great thing is. The Alliance is finally getting their fist pump.
And the second is Multiboxing is mortally wounded.

86

What was the fist pump? Did I miss some announcement in lore?

87

you have your warming now, mate

Who cares? I want multiboxing to die and most do too, its cheating!

90

you’re just bias.

91

You say this until they change something that effects you lol. They should’ve given a an actual warning that they were doing this. And I don’t multi box so don’t try it

Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever have that problem because I don’t try to exploit the game and take advantage of loopholes in the TOS.

Multi boxing has always been cheating and I’m glad Blizzard finally put a stop to it.

that’s just nonsense, it has never been cheating and still isnt cheating. The software isnt being banned for multiboxing, it’s being banned because it’s used by botters that multibox their bots.

I reported you for trolling because blizzard still says multiboxing is okay and not cheating.

94

but then why don’t they just ban the bot macros instead?

95

you tell me. I wonder the same thing. Bots are already banned though. I think they should just spend more to catch them and ban them quicker, because multiboxers are getting caught in the collateral damage here. Not all multiboxers are botters, but all botters are now multiboxing.

96

Well, as expected, people who don’t know what cheating is are celebrating because they consider multiboxing cheating and they don’t know what botting is…

But really, you expect them to warn you when changes similar to this come overnight? Why would your specific thing get a warning usually no change gets one?

Dude I have never laughed harder at something I’ve read on the forums. The troll reporting me for “trolling”. Incredible lmao

98

He might be silly for trying to report you, but you repeating that it’s cheating, won’t make it true no matter how many times you do it.

99

What part of “soon we will be issuing warnings…” do you not get?

The announcement itself is the advance warning.

Only very small changes dont get warnings. Most changes do have announcements far ahead of time.

101

You know well that warnings have a very low chance of happening.

And as the poster above said, the announcement itself was the warning.

102

because outright saying something isnt allowed anymore and you will get action’ed for doing it, isnt warning people that a change is coming. I dont want warnings on my account and i could also be warned and banned in the span of the first 30 minutes of the first day, so it isnt a warning in the sense that you are trying to make it.

A fair warning should be made and a 30 day grace period allowed in order to give players a chance to adapt or not. 30 days because they pay 30 day subs.
