Glimmer of light - Hardware boxing, and it still has the power!

Ellay,

I thought your most recent video has some nice updates to your setup:

Thanks for sharing.

Someone in the comments saying they got a ban for hardware boxing.

Yeah I saw that and it was concerning to hear that the reason reportedly given was that even while hardware boxing "it breaks the ToS by controlling more than 1 character at a time"... I politely asked for screenshots of the correspondence from Blizz and more details on the actual physical setup from the person. There could be more to the story and even if there were not the ban may be overturn-able...

It seems like 1/2 the people who have been "banned for multiboxing" lately, actually have a ban for abuse of the economy /RMT.

Yeah I was noticing that also. Seems like folk just doing things on Retail like the "2x4 farming" with even just supposedly MS Windows and mouse-over-focus with no 3rd party software getting at least long suspensions if not outright bans. Hard to really know what is going on but these are scary times...

Personally I have decided that if I do start seriously multiboxing WoW again it will be without my main account which has all my Collector's Editions tied to it... Totally sucks as currently it is 1/5 of every one of my 5box teams so I at least need to powerlevel a new character to start back up again (or start a new team)...

Waiting on my last few components to show up this week, and I'll be back doing mythic+ and early dungeon guides like I usually do at an expansion launch.

Good thing though is that leveling is very quick now.

Just an update. Been having a blast in Shadowlands. The new dungeons are insane on difficulty but overall still seem within the realm of possible.

excited to see your results Toned! We definitely need more pushing the content.

Retail is much better though most of my focus is/was Classic and all my Classic teams are kinda screwed right now. If I resubscribe and start 5boxing again I may just leave my Classic accounts alone for awhile as leveling there is a PiTA relatively...

Ellay, What team comps have you tried and which do you think is the best overall for boxers in ShadowLands? Most of what I have seen so far has been 5 Druids and I think in Discord you may have mentioned 5 Paladins but not sure what you had tried and what you were currently thinking.

Personally I am hoping that Tank+Healer+3Hunters will at least be viable (preferably strong) in ShadowLands but curious what your thoughts are at this point.

I've been boxing mythic+ consistently with these groups [pre-software ban / shadowlands]

Pal + 3 Hunter + (Rotate between Priest/Dru/Sham on heals)
5X Prot (have this x2 from Legion, when I was 10 boxing prot)
5x Druid
4x Blood DK + 1 Healer (Dru/Priest/Sham) or 5th Blood DK

My current debate is Divine Toll on prot paladins is just so damn good.
Do I start with 5x Prot or Hunter Trinity or Druids or all 3 OMFG... also DKs unless they are broken are gonna prob sit on the sideline like my mixed melee group / mixed caster group ... until I get hardware boxing down to the muscle memory that software boxing is.

I was glad I played my Prot paladin solo to 60, while waiting on hardware and figuring stuff out... now the boxes can skip campaign etc... gonna be so nice.
