I stumbled across this today and I just had to laugh.

My personal favourite bits : "This is something that needs to be put to a stop, as it takes away the aspect of what battlegrounds are suppose to repsent - teamwork and a challenge".
You can't get much better teamwork than 4/5 characters coordinating on a target perfectly. And he's actually saying that trying to kill them is very difficult - if that's not challenging what is?
And this " I have heard many stories personally of 5v5 arena teams going against a multiboxing team and getting killed right away, which should indicate alone that multiboxing is unfair. "
I have heard personally - so basically they haven't experienced it themselves.
The final signoff is a classic.
"Doing these 4 things (2 really) can would improve the experience of pvp in World of Warcraft 100%, and would ensure that the BattleGrounds and Arena matches are what they were meant to be, and not a playground for people with money. "
A subscription based game shouldn't be a playground for people with money. Isn't that exactly what it is?
Anywhere here is the full text for those that can't access it.

It has come to our attention that many people known as multiboxers have been flooding the World of Warcraft BattleGround instances. This is something that needs to be put to a stop, as it takes away the aspect of what battlegrounds are suppose to repsent - teamwork and a challenge. For those who dont know, a multiboxer is a person who owns multiple WoW accounts and is logged into them all at once on different computers and has an outside program set to copy what one charcter does into multiple charcters. For instance a multiboxer with 4 shamans would just control 1 of those shaman and when they cast a spell, all 4 of his logged in charcters would cast that same spell at that same target. This makes for VERY unfair gameplay. Someone who could normally live through one blast of the spell, could not live through all 4 and would be seemlgly 1 shotted. This takes all the sport out of the battlegrounds and makes it very hard for us to enjoy them. Outside of any ranked battleground or arena match, multiboxing should be fine, but inside where its ranked it is way to unfair for people to have a chance to enjoy themselves. I have heard many stories personally of 5v5 arena teams going against a multiboxing team and getting killed right away, which should indicate alone that multiboxing is unfair.
The propsition:
- Multiboxing be banned from any BattleGround(Warsong gulch, Arathi Basin, Alteric Valley, Eye of the Storm)
- Multiboxing be banned from ranked arena matches(5v5, 3v3, 2v2)
- Multiboxing may be allowed in unranked arena matches(as above)
- Multiboxing may be allowed outside of those areas in the "Overworld"
- Punishment for being caught multiboxing in a ranked arena match or BattleGround would be something alone the lines of the accounts being banned permentaly from the BattleGround and Arena Systems.
Doing these 4 things (2 really) can would improve the experience of pvp in World of Warcraft 100%, and would ensure that the BattleGrounds and Arena matches are what they were meant to be, and not a playground for people with money.
