WoW 3.1 Multibox love :) Looting on all clients

[Redbeard]

Wow this is pretty amazing if accurate.

Did anyone post the source yet ( I didnt see it in the thread )?

Thanks.

just download ptr client, go into keybinds (which are almost totally reworked) and you'll find it in section targeting. i thought it was obvius how to loot on slaves. just assist the main while he is targetting the dead mob and hit interact with target button. another cool thing is if you have "click-to-move" on your toon will run to loot if they are not in range.
i added screenshot from ptr. i think there are so much more opportunities ist those two keybindings looting is just one of them.

Does it work also to open chat with npc? That would be great for quests!

[devilsome]

yes, what it does is simply doing a right mouseklick on that target

[Redbeard]

Wow thats amazing.

Three biggest hassles for boxing are looting on slaves, quests on slaves and follow.

Great add ons like jamba simplify the movement thing. This will be an amazing change for us if it goes live.

Great news!

I'm a heavy user of click-to-move on my alts to help assist me when they are just a smidge too far away from the mob to loot. This will greatly simplify how much I need to use my mouse on my alts' screens.

Maybe I'm just in a weird mood, but this worries me. While I'd love to see this make it to live and stick around, I worry that this will be a case of making things easier for legitimate uses that opens a whole for less than legitimate uses eventually resulting in a tighter model. One of the primary limiting factors for preventing automated play and bots has been that looting and NPC interaction has always required a mouse targeted click or keypress. Getting the screen location of the item, corpse or NPC is not doable through the normal channels so you couldn't just send a mouse location and loot. I hope I'm just a kook and this works out, but it just feels... weird.

While this is being compared to the skinning assist macro, has anyone ever asked about that? I know we "can do it", but I'll ask the question that I'm normally not the one to ask, "should we?".
