As usual I'm gonna request a copy/paste of the OP and any funny replies since SOME of us at work can't troll the wow forums like other lucky workers ;)
You're awesome! Many thanks. On to reading ---Quote:

I just kinda discovered this and got interested, but I would like some clarification from some Blizzard posters about the rules over multiboxing.
Is it ok to have three WoW accounts running on the one single PC, played by the one single owner of those three accounts?
Is it ok to use Keyclone or any other software to assist in relaying keys to the other clients while monitoring the "main" one and controlling them through that?

This thread (as pointed out above) [url='http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5288579356&pageNo=1&sid=1#2']http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5288579356&pageNo=1&sid=1#2[/url] should answer all your concerns on multiboxing.
Locking.
My Response
Haven't read through everything yet but seems more like they're questioning it rather than complaining (even though there are a few definite QQers). I've definitely seen worse but still a good read.

Not automation.Quote:
Q u o t e:
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?
Setting up a macro with said keyboard that would, for example, automatically press Fireball each time it was available? Automation.
Is it sending an identical signal to all client windows or switching between them to send commands? Not automation.Quote:
Q u o t e:
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 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.
Yes--and so does grouping.Quote:
Q u o t e:
Semantics issue #3:
Does multiboxing give a player an in-game advantage?
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.Quote:
Q u o t e:
Therefore, can multiboxing be considered an exploit?
See above.Quote:
Q u o t e:
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"?
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.Quote:
Q u o t e:
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?
Almostly hilariously false.Quote:
Q u o t e:
Semantics issue #6:
Multiboxing is only allowed because there is no reliable way for Blizzard to find, identify, and catch them. True/false?
I'll have the cake, please. [ Post edited by Belfaire ]"Quote:
Q u o t e:
Unrelated issue #7:
Cake or death?
I found this post quite funny. From someone in the EU thread.
It's not a whine, but "Getting your dog to press the buttons for you in one game client? Ok, as long as it knows what it's doing. " is definatly account sharing! xDQuote:
There is a very fine line between what's acceptable for multi-boxing and what isn't.
Pressing the buttons yourself in one game client? Ok.
Getting a program (or piece of hardware) to press the buttons for you in one game client? Not ok.
Getting your dog to press the buttons for you in one game client? Ok, as long as it knows what it's doing.
Pressing the buttons yourself in one game client and getting a program (or piece of hardware) to press exactly the same button in other clients? Ok.
Pressing the buttons yourself in one game client and getting a program (or piece of hardware) to press different buttons in another game client? Ok if it always presses the same button in that client, not a different "calculated" one.
Getting a program (or piece of hardware) to press the buttons for you in all game clients? Not ok.
Other then that, most whiners are pretty unconstructive. x(
I appreciate it guys(and gals) thanks :p
Edit:
Rofl at the Dog one..."Well shee-it ol' yeller, they's done gone and banned you...guess I'll hafta take ya out back movie-style with mah shotgun"
Actually, considering smart dogs operate at about the level of a child of 2-3 and that they are definitely dependants, it meets the ToS. :)Quote:

As soon as someone teaches a dog how to /spit and /rofl after a PVP kill, let me know.
Guessing this will just be a repeat of the last guy who posted "I got banned for multiboxing", anyone want to place a bet?
I suggest you call and ask to speak to a supervisor when you get such an uninformed answer. I say that mainly because it needs to be fixed. Those fucktards on the blizz phones need to understand whats legal and what isn't. And they sure as shit better not be fucking hanging up on people.Quote:
