Hypothetical question..... What if Blizzard said okay you QQers....

Hypothetical question.....

What if one day Blizzard finally said, we give in to all the QQers and we are going to stop multi-boxing period.

I'd do what I do when something is no longer fun or not worth the effort. I'd find something else fun to do. I left once before because raiding got to be a hassle with the guild I was in, and I didn't miss it. If I hadn't heard about the RAF and decided to learn about "that thing that those guys in the BG did", then I wouldn't be playing. It's fun now. I'll deal with it not being fun when it gets there.

They probably would get a huge lawsuit up their butts due to the nature of how this all works, that Blizzard repeatedly tells us that it supports this playstyle, but changing the TOS to make it not allowed basically voids tons of paid-for accounts. Unlike other TOS changes which don't do anything but change the rules affecting one account, a multibox ban would essentially render the other accounts worthless. Since you're not allowed to share accounts, there's no action a boxer could take with the extra accounts other than to stop playing all of them. You couldn't give them to friends or anything like that. Blizzard should be responsible to refund every penny of the money spent on buying the CD-Keys for people who bought extra accounts to play them at the same time.

On top of that, I'd almost definitely move on to another game where this stuff is supported.

I'd play EQ ... lol

They would have to eliminate auto follow to stop boxers, I mean you just say "Ya, I'm two people" (try not to say it the same time on both computers though).

I guess you'd have to claim to be a guy and his son, since the accounts would be under one name. "Oh yeah this is my sons who follow me around. I taught them to use assist on daddy" etc. I don't know that Bliz would be able to be sure that just because someone has a lot of toons on follow means he's boxing. And with the lag, it wouldn't show up with identical casting moments on the server side. You can replicate it with multiple keyboards. I used to dualbox with two keyboards by pushing the buttons in unison. No one know how I was doing it or if I was even boxing.

I would be billing for my /played. Since damages can be established to have a basis in your timed /played from the guy that tracked down the dude that hacked his account (private investigator/it forensics lab ftw) and deleted all his stuff and texas awarded him damages based on /played.

And you don't get a death charger, zg cats, a set of circle of flame's (eh, i like the effect) and all the other shit for heroics on no /played. That guy had a year of played on his toon. In addition to addon coding.

That said, it would be a good move for my health most likely. Though I wouldn't pick up another game, lack of UI modification being the big loss for any game I have tried to get into.

First off, I'd quit. Boxing is the only reason I still play as I was pretty tired of the game.

I wouldn't cry about the money spent, now I have a nice beefy PC and a couple big monitors to use for whatever else. I would just think it was fun while it lasted. There's always something else to do besides play wow.

I think you quoted the wrong guy... :P

[Kopitar]

You guys mentoining lawsuits really crack me up.....

[kllrwlf]

I would just quit WoW... well, quit WoW permanently. I've already canceled all my accounts a couple of months ago.

If they gave in to the QQ (which is very unlikely to happen)... it is a signal of the end.

KOTOR is where its at but in the mean time I'd go back to single boxing

[JoeWunsch]

I would go back to EQ / wait for warhammer.

I personally can't go back to single playing, bleh.
