GC and holinka about multiboxing

[Blubber]

I honestly don't understand the people saying that after what GC says they are glad they left WoW, what he says is a lot of common sense imo.

Agreed, however, what bothers me about the whole thing is, why don't they just come out and say it like it is. If only they posted on the forums or their blog that MB is ok, but not in the BGs and that's why we removed /follow, that would be perfectly fine with me.

It reminds me of the damn vanish bug that was introduced in patch 1.4 (!), they refused to acknowledge that it was a bug until way into BC, when they finally fixed it.

As far as openness they could learn a lesson from ccp I guess.

Having said that, wow is still a great game to box .

They have said on several occasions that they are ok with multiboxing, though don't support it.
They have explained why they removed /follow from bg's, that multiboxing was collateral damage but that they are fine with that given how controversial it is in bg's.
They have re-enabled /follow in arenas, as a gesture towards the multiboxing community.
Pretty much everyone who got banned when they started using the new server side pattern detection software to weed out bots, got his accounts back shortly after.

I honestly don't see what else you would expect them to say, definitely not after this interview: 'we are fine with multiboxing, but if it starts getting out of hand we might have to take actions'.

Sometimes I have the feeling that the common sense that once reigned on this board when it comes down to blizzard and mb, is replaced by a lot of people jumping on the popular bash blizzard band wagon, regardless from reality.
