Change in multiboxing policy

[Feint90]

Multiple months wasted prepping teams for shadowlands just to find out, after they already took my money, that I can't use them. Refunds requested, they can't really deny pepeople I think since they should have stated this before pre-sale. And with the delay pre-orders were already being refunded.

Still a lame change, just fix the problem instead of plastering a bandaid on it.

Well, i am used to anecdotes like these from Blizzard.

I learned not to take anything they do serious anymore.

So Blizzard isn't against Multiboxing just software that enables it... Cunning so they can skirt around any ramifications re charge back requests or refunds?

Surly Lax, MiRai or or someone has a link/communication line to Blizzard to ask if we can use ISBoxer to legit play? I dont farm gold I just love leveling teams and running 5 man content for the challenge, been at it for 12 years now....

For me its the thousands of dollars I have spent/invested in this hobby., primarily for WoW. Do we have any legal options? I mean they allowed it for years and also lead us to believe that as long as we followed the rules we were safe. WHat are we supposed to do with all our other accounts characters? Are they going to refund us?

Why cant they just do a compromise..limit boxing to 5 accounts..no PvP ( i know a lot of us would hate that part alone ) but just out right ban us after all these years?

The question remains is if they will allow to use isboxer to set windows and ema to use mount with leader and strobe follow (ema is not that important). With windows set up it is still easy to have 4 chars to follow and manually hit all the nodes. This will not stop herb/mining boxers, just make it a little more work.

People that lose are those that are playing dungeons, which sucks.

I have requested refund on 4 of my shadowlands purchases and 2 months remaining game time on those accounts.

Instead of taking everything away from us. Why don't they just add a server or make existing server for just multiboxers. ? And let us transfer there. Instead of shutting us down like that after so much time invested

Exactly what me and my friend was thinking.
I hope such a request/question reaches them before i have cleaned out all my char's...
Would like to know what their respons is to that.

Well, they actually want to do the opposite, to have one server type for everyone.. except rp probably. Also, if they start with special realms for special target groups, others would want that too. Hardcore realms. Solo realms. Gnome-only realms..

I enjoyed classic a lot. I have 10 box acc on classic that just got renewed and thinking to create new team on low pop server and see how long it takes to get banned. I know it's a waste of time but whatever.

Multibox is not over. Blizzard dont want "broadcasting software to mirror commands to multiple accounts". If you use round robin you dont mirror commands. If you attribut one key per box you dont miror. For instance you can use clic bar for healing. This is not morroring etc...
