Still Multiboxing with no emails or warnings

[DGiraldo]

I use iSBoxer with 5 clients and use all the stuff on isboxer.

I have a different setup and it is MUCH harder to track me/discover me. Truly not trying to be a dick but I just don't want to disclose how I do it....obviously.

Let me be clear:

I don't level any toons together as I got them all to 50 either in the past or recently. In fact, finished my last 5 hunter team right before the announcement. I don't harvest nodes and I don't sit in any cities.

All I use them for is M+ and mount/morg runs - So far so good.. now as I am typing this I could have got that dreaded email, but for now it is clear sailing and I intend to keep freaking sailing.

Another note: There is a way to PL 3 toons at a time from 10-50 in about 4 hours that I have done with some buddies. Totally legit and no hacking or botting or even isboxer. I would phrase it as more of a "trick" as everything you do is built in the game. if interested in this feel free to send me a message and I can share. Just dont want too many ppl to be doing it or they might nerf it.

Just a warning, from what Iv'e heard they perma ban you if multibox (not 100 % sure) with a broadcasting.

[nodoze]

There are substantial reports of people receiving at least warnings for just running InnerSpace while running WoW even if InnerSpace is set to not broadcast/multicast.

Lax himself even stated as much: https://i.gyazo.com/26faee5af7a272734946cc07dbe0adb0.png

If you continue multiboxing WoW you are better served going either the Hardware boxing route or going one of the potentially compliant software routes like:


- Native windows OS boxing with static window placement & mouse-over-focus;
- Wow Open Box (free Open Source Multiboxing with verifiable code);
- Fuii-Boxing (Matricus's WoW client launcher / window manager);
- Joe Multiboxer (JMB) Lavishsoft replacement for ISboxer for Wow;


Links for all of these (including some for Hardware boxing) can be found here:

It's also somewhat likely that they do not just hunt people down individually, but the bans will instead come in waves. So even if you think you are in the clear, you might already be on the list to be banned with not much you can do about it at this point. Only time will tell.

Personally I would advice against just going about your business as usual. It does compromise your accounts and it is rather hard to keep making the case that our community is making it's best effort to be benign when there are people openly saying that they knowingly are and will continue to break the rules. No one liked the rule change, but it is what it is and we just need to adapt to it.

Agree

- Personally all my account are in good standing with Blizz - allways nice and helpsome support - I like that way.

I am still going strong... no warnings or anything. Playing the exact same way I always have been. Torghast is a blast with a 5 man team

[DGiraldo]

Still going strong, not a single email or anything. BTW, I am not posting here to say NANANANA or be disrespectful.... I am just letting you know my box crew is in good standing.

I am running 5 Druid (Bear +4 Moonkins) - and it is just destroying everything. Most fun I have had 5 boxing in years. I dont' pvp... I leveld them through Queues and carefully go to each M+ zone (never on auto follow in open world...) but I do use MB Mount for the brief times I am in open world and noticeable.

I also am on an almost empty server. Literally every single time I go to World Spawn (Oondasta, Sha of Anger etc) for mount farming the MOB is up... every time. Even running as a single I see at most 2 people in Orgrimmar lol. Loving SL so far.... would hate it playing as a single., that's for sure.

[Lyonheart]

I'm loving it solo ( i do two box old school way for world stuff) But i forgot how fun it is to play with friends lol!

[bearistotle]

I'm still going strong as well. Do any of you know anyone banned for JMB? I've seen a few claim that, but never saw anything compelling and I assume JMB is fine. 5 boxing here. I love the new minimap array, so easy to know a minion missed a thing!

I also use EMA, but that's about it. Very open to other addons! Ema is fantastic.

People have reported being banned. Some for continuing to use ISBoxer, some while reportedly using some of the replacement software solutions that should be within the new guide lines, or some with no software whatsoever What exactly was it that triggered Blizzard to take action against any specific person, we can not say for certain.

If you want to multibox WoW, it is adviced to not use ISBoxer anymore.

Multiboxing is not against the rules - but >The use of input broadcasting software that mirrors keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients is now a actionable offense<

You still alive out there DGiraldo? Would it be safe to assume, that it would require a player reporting you, to get you banned?

[Uhnknown]

I would argue that it's most definitely not safe to assume that it requires a player to report you in for Blizzard to warn, suspend or ban you for using Isboxer after the changes to the TOS.

Continued use of Isboxer is not advised, and because of the policy change you should not be using software that broadcasts keystrokes. I would suggest looking into using something like Joe Multiboxer(JMB) or WoWOpenBox (WOB).

Or the other options like WowOpenBox (WOB)

Still alive and going strong. 5 Druids is crushing everything. Just finished a +12 - I am almost never grouped in open world and I have each toon in a different guild. Even the rare times I take down say Sha of Anger with all 5 flying in on Boxer Mount, I dismount away from spawn point and run them to the boss and position them in different areas. No one could ever figure it out and I have slight delays in my DPS: So DPS1 delays 1.5 seconds, DPS2 delays 1 second and DPS3 0.5 - Started a new comp BDK/Ele/Ele/Ele/Ele - Its just ridiculous. Destroy dungeons

[WoW06]

So you still multibox with Isboxer ?

Makes me wonder if w/e system they have in place to detect input broadcasting software only works if they get reports on you... Been following the CS forums over on the wow forums, and there are multiple reports each month of people being banned for using everything from ahk to joemultiboxer.

It's impressive you have lasted this long using something as well known as isboxer.

[ebony]

it does say "May" that is a very lose word and is over used, you "May" die from covid19, you "May" get done for speeding, your house "May" burn down.

Are any of your keys broadcasting more than one stroke at a time? I wonder if they'll detect the old 'assist + interact' key

[DGiraldo]

s combined.

I have dabbled in retail a few times with 2 toons. I use Hotkeynet and for the slave toon i have follow and one spell (sunfire) for tagging running through it. I use 1 and a mouse key for these and I make sure those keys do nothing on my main toon, and I wait a second or so to press the spells on the slave to make sure they don't cast or act at the same time. I got caught with a vehicle quest tho and casted both at the same time, but I caught myself real quick. Anything besides tagging really I manually tab over and control each character separately. I try to make it look like I'm not running software as best as I can. Of course now with TBC out and mobs taking forever to kill on 1 toon, I'm getting the itch to try this in classic. I only have done this method for 2 5 hour play sessions tho.
