To settle the whole "it's against the rules" argument:

Q u o t e:
First, one of the main things on a 5v5 game, is your team coordination, how good your team play together.

Fighting this team, 4 games, we lost 3. This guy, control 4 shamans, at once, prob with 4 computers.

Banable? Prob not, but if not, its a flaw. And. should be fixed asap.

It's easy to get frustrated in the arenas, Warlike, and I can understand your concerns. Still, "multi-boxing" is not currently a violation of our Terms of Use. I refer you to the following thread from our CS Forum Information Haven! sticky:

Botting vs. Playing Multiple Accounts Simultaneously

That said, if you truly feel that this kind of activity is not in the spirit of World of Warcraft, I encourage you to avail yourself of the resources that is our Suggestion forum. Our Development Staff does read it, and it's your best means to communicate your concerns directly.

And, in the link in that post, this post by Vrakthis:

Q u o t e:
Im sorry but that isn't accurate, if Blizz would investigate instead of assuming they could find a rule break in there.

That is a paid service, the person running those characters was paid to collect HPs for the owners of those Characters. I bet if Blizz investigated they would find all characters to have different payment info, different emails, different info all togother, so if one person is boxing those Characters, its account sharing... and that is against the rules.

I'll have to disagree with you there, Letum. Could someone use this technique to level up multiple characters for others? Probably.

If they were investigated would we just go "oh they are multiboxing, they are Ok."? Absolutely not. We investigate each botting/powerleveling report we receive fully and believe it or not we actually do look at the simple stuff like account information. Not to mention we look at a great deal of other information in our investigations.

There are a good many legitimate users who actually do own multiple accounts. Why? No idea, I have two myself and barely look at the other account but to each their own. Just because they are using a multiboxing technique does not mean they are powerleveling/sharing or engaging in any other nefarious deed.

If you believe someone is violating our Terms of Use, report it and it will be investigated.
And finally, the rules themselves:
Ownership/Selling of the Account or Virtual Items.
Blizzard does not recognize the transfer of Accounts. You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void.
