I won't be cancelling or uninstalling just yet, as I have no issue with being banned. This really isn't the first stupid statement SOE has made about one of their games.

When EQWin was released for EQ1, SOE immediately came out and said that it was bannable and that alt-tab was disabled in the client "to prevent cheating." About a year later, they integrated EQWin into the client and removed the keyhook for ALT+TAB, allowing users to use windowed mode or alt tab from fullscreen.

Kiara is a dumb windbag (I know, I played EQ1 with her for years) and frequently talks out of her ass. It really wouldn't surprise me if she said "OH MULTIBOXING THAT'S CHEATING" and went to moving her hamfists across her keyboard in some motion as to create her post without ever cross-referencing it with a GM or policymaker. It also wouldn't surprise me if it was completely accurate and reflects a policy change at SOE that's going to screw us all over.

The most likely outcome is that yes, some people may be banned, but the majority of multiboxers will go ignored and never have any issues. Botting is illegal, but how many harvesting bots do you see on a daily basis? If I'm running through JW or KP and I *don't* see a harvesting bot, something is wrong. Sure, some of them get banned but the majority don't.
