The thing that gets my goat everytime I read one of those posts is that they obviously havn't tried it.
"cheaters!"
Isn't cheating supposed to make things easier? Last time I checked multiboxing is harder is most cases.
Are you multiboxing the same WoW I am? I find it incredibly easier to run my own instances, guaranteeing loot is given out to the best advantage of the team. There's no wasted time trying to get groups or schedule WoW time with friends, but most importantly, no communication is needed to make sure the team operates most effectively.Quote:

Now, there are other games where I could see multiboxing making life more difficult, like Age of Conan.
No. With NAT, any number of computers can share the same IP address. If you want a reasonably decent way of identifying a particular computer you might use the MAC address of the outbound Ethernet adapter, and of course that's not foolproof.Quote:

What about the people who installed via the online download?Quote:

The "facts" he's spewing out are pretty unlikely. Besides, he's assuming ALL multiboxers use 3rd party software -- therefore it would take more than warden to "ban multiboxers".
If blizzard really wanted to ban multiboxing, they wouldn't have to jump through hoops with assigning your wow install to your cd key (lawl?), changing warden to sniff out software multiboxing solutions, or whatnot. They could either a) remove /follow -- or b) add "no multiboxing" to the Terms of Use. Those are both much cheaper solutions for them to implement.
Besides, from the activity in the customer service forum (did you remember to hug Belfaire today?), the blues aren't hinting that multiboxing is going away anytime soon.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to do that.[img]../forum/images/smilies/tongue.png[/img]Quote:

We are starting to make a name for ourselves and I would love to move to a mboxing server to get away from the QQ.
ah yes :) but the distinction lies in ease of character control and ability to reach a goal/orwhatnot.Quote:

So it definitely is a lot lot easier to control one character vs multiple. But ur right, attaining something is so much simpler when m-boxing :)
Just laugh at him and move on.
His argument has sooo many holes that it isn't worthy paying attention to.
Sorry to come into this a bit late, but that isn't the reason they won't disallow it. When Blizzard reps tell you that the company line is that they do not find anything wrong with it and that they consider it to be a legitimate way to play the game, they're being honest with you. Remember, multiboxing has ALWAYS been allowed in every MMORPG out there. I don't think that any developer has specifically designed their game to allow it, but they have no problem with it. This is what many anti-MBers do not understand. This is not an area where Blizzard feels unsure and wants to see what the player base thinks about it. This is exactly like their stance on PvE-to-PvP transfers, where they have taken a very clear line and they have not been ambiguous about it, even in the face of considerable protest.Quote:

There are simply some issues where Blizzard knows exactly what they want. Multiboxing is one of them. There is no way they'd cop the attitude they have otherwise. You must have seen how snarky they are getting lately when dealing with multiboxing threads. Mostly they ignore them, but a couple of times they have moved them to the customer service forum, made a snide remark, and locked the thread. The point is very clear-- Blizzard does not see multiboxing as any sort of problem. They consider it a valid way to play the game that does not violate the terms of use, concepts of fair play, or the spirit of the game. Period.
As for the guy claiming that he had inside knowledge that multiboxing would be removed in WotLK, it is another bitter anti-MBer who is trying anything he can to rile people up. They have come to realize that their arguments against multiboxing have failed, and their attempts at flaming multiboxers have failed, so now one of them decided to try and annoy or scare people by claiming that it would be removed. It won't. While Blizzard reps always make sure to say that nothing is 100% written in stone, I have no worries whatsoever that they will ever removed multiboxing from WoW. None. The crybabies will shed oceans full of tears along the way, and we will continue to multibox just as well as we please.
u don't wanna compare such things with mb'ing... lol. those are little things compared to the income they get from us. besides a pet and a mount, what else has blizzard reversed ?Quote:

ofc u gotta be prepared for anything anyways, but mbing is on another level by now.
So will blizzard ban MB for the 0.01% of players that whine about us ? :)Quote:

I have a friend who is a GM so I asked him about this whole multi boxing being removed business. Here is what he said. "I haven't heard anything about it being removed, and I doubt Blizzard will be changing it's TOS anytime soon, particularly over something like this. And if Blizzard did decide to all of a sudden change their policy on it, they wouldn't put out a patch note saying 'blah blah upcoming patch no more multi-boxing' they would make it an immediate change and disallow it before a patch even came out. As far as the client being different I don't know anything about how the messaging system works so that may be true, but it isn't a deliberate attempt on Blizzard's part to hurt multi-boxers."
So basically, if Blizzard wants to kill us they would have done so already. And to be honest I think they like us because we are players taking WoW to another level. My GM buddy told me that if any multiboxers enter an arena a GM is required to watch and they get a kick out of it. So next time your 5v5 team is kicking ass don't be surprised to come out and all your toons start turning into cows or grub worms :P
Smells like you pulled that out of your ass. If a GM was "required" to watch every time a boxer went into arena... hah. I live next to the Blizzard corporate building in Irvine.. literally a mile or two away - maybe I should walk in and start asking their front desk lady about her thoughts on multiboxing. I'm sure she'd have a more legit statement than you.Quote:

I wonder if it explains that time I kept getting queued up against the same team that kicked my butt repeatedly. >.< And then only let 4 of my 5 shammies into the arena against the same team for another loss.
That really sucked.
Heh, I don't know if they're required to watch but it would definitely explain the random GM ticket queue times that are sometimes 1 hour long and sometimes 4-5 hours long. >.<
Either this is a misunderstanding of what your buddy actually said, or there are different guidelines for EU GMs compared to USA GMs. Or your buddy simply got it wrong.Quote:

I don't doubt that some (most?) get a kick out of warching multiboxers in action, but there's absolutely no requirement (at least in Europe) for ANY arena match to be manually supervised in any way, shape or form.
I keep hoping this thread will just disappear in the noise, but it keeps popping up again. As others have observed, the single quickest way to kill multiboxing would be for Bliz to say "it's not allowed".
Most of us would stop immediately.
As the WotLK client is now using DirectInput, Multiboxing could actually become much easier. DirectInput would allow software to write both keyboard and mouse hooks, so we could e.g. have a key and mouse clone application that allows us to use even mouse movements and clicks in all WoW clients running on one system. This is pretty nice actually.Quote:

Also note that the current EULA and ToS for the WotLK client shows no indication of a change regarding the 3rd party clause against applications that modify the client. There is no mention of anything like keyboard or mouse broadcasting, etc.
