So it's interesting that Kiara says that broadcasting to multiple clients is a violation of "the spirit of the game". It's also interesting that she said it gives "an advantage over other players" (p.s. "signally"? singly perhaps?). So does owning a G15 keyboard, X-Keys, an n52, etc. That's the whole point of going out and buying a new input device, because you expect to get some advantage in your play. But these things are available to anyone, and without violating the explicit terms of the EULA. (There is no part of the EULA that explicitly states you may not use these input devices, broadcast keys, etc) Doesn't that make it a fair advantage?

But, like people have brought up.. what they seem to be saying is that if you are sending a key to 1 window at a time instead of all of them at once, then they have no problem with it. Which means multi-step/round-robin and whacking the key 6 times instead of 1.

At any rate, if EQ2 players in general hear of this, any EQ2 multiboxer -- regardless of whether they are using any added hardware or software or not -- can pretty much expect to be reported. There's no way of detecting whether you're broadcasting to multiple clients or not, especially considering your round trip time to the server is probably high enough to whack the key a couple times. They would either have to adopt a ban all reported policy, or spend man-hours to watch you long enough to make a determination.

I think this is going to cost them more money in lost subscriptions (they're practically begging you to spend your money on WoW instead) and added enforcement costs than they stand to gain in not losing subscriptions from people who are upset about someone broadcasting to multiple clients. Unless, of course, they do not plan on banning you for multiboxing or having to enforce the policy... in which case they're still losing because customer service will still have to field additional complaints about multiboxing due to making such a statement. I'm not really sure where they win here.
