Blizzard tolerates us for now...
From Zarhym
There's no support for multi-boxing on our end. We tolerate it. For now.
Rivet for rivet I will pilfer my family a bulletproof love.

Maybe we should take our oh so tolerated money to another mmo.
Yep just came here myself to post this.
For those of you listing every single advantage changes to the game systems have given us, you are idiots.
None of the features in the game where added to SPECIFICALLY support us. Some of them we benefit from. If you go on and on about how IWT is what makes Paladins so awesome - you watch Blizzard make CTM and IWT no longer work with each other as they do now. I highly doubt it was EVER intended that IWT benefit from CTM, we are just lucky that we worked out it did.
Focus, follow, RAF, IWT, CTM, "click" Healing and other UI API functions - they are all added for everyone. Your being a fool if you try and insist on the General Forum that Blizzard added those to support us.
While the Blue Post is a bit dramatic and be taken several ways I simple read it as that we are not treated with any special consideration nor are we thought of when design decisions are made. What we do is tolerated, but that can change at any time - as can the TOS/EULA.

When a dev comes on the forums and says we added these enhancements to help everyone BUT boxers then I will agree with you. Until then keep your insults to yourself.
I hate seeing replies from blues like this... I'm 8 levels away from my first team @ 80, now it makes me realize it could all be taken away at any moment...

But it probably won't be. Don't worry 'bout it. I've been multiboxing for a couple years and have always known that if Blizzard really wanted to, they could outlaw this playstyle tomorrow. They haven't, and have gone on record in much less ambiguous words that they recognize that multiboxers don't break the game and can keep playing.
Remember that Blizzard is run by people who made the most successful MMO ever! They're smart and have already considered the situation. The demands of morons on messageboards do not dictate Blizzard policy.
MY MINIONS on Lightbringer US: Osaar (80 BE Paladin) - Esaar, Isaar, and Usaar (80 BE Warlocks) - Harmsworth (80 UD Priest)
This was always the case. Zarhym's post was probably the most succinct way of summarizing Blizzard's stance on multiboxing, though the part about "for now" makes it seem more ominous than intended. My take on the whole issue:
1- Blizzard is fine with multiboxing. Put it however you want-- "they support it" or "they tolerate it" or "they allow it" it all comes down to the same thing. It is not a violation of their rules, nor of their terms of service.
2- As with anything else game-related, Blizzard reserves the right to change that stance if they ever feel that it is necessary to do so.
3- A few retards whining on the forum because their level 75 warlock got repeatedly rocked by a team of 80s that he thought he could mess with is not going to change Blizzard's mind. Nor are level 1 trolls calling multiboxers "noobs" or "no lifers" or whining about how they can't afford $75 a month for a video game (though most of them probably run up $200 phone bills each month... that daddy has to pay for).
4- If Blizzard wanted to stop multiboxing, they could. And please... they can definitely tell if someone is multiboxing, even with hardware. If some mouth-breather on the forums can identify a multiboxer, what makes you think Blizzard can't?
I saw those threads but I just skimmed through a few pages. This issue was settled long ago, and it was settled in our favor with no ambiguity whatsoever. This doesn't mean that Blizzard won't ever change their mind. But it means that all of those idiotic arguments against multiboxing have been made in the past and been shot down by Blizzard reps. I feel that whenever some crybaby comes screeching into the forums about how the big bad multiboxer stole his candy, he deserves to me mocked or, preferably, ignored. He certainly doesn't deserve the courtesy of a serious response anymore.
PS- I still get a kick out of the people who accuse Blizzard of allowing multiboxing because of the added revenue. In essence, they're saying that Blizzard has no integrity and bases its decisions entirely on money. Well, okay. But if the person making this accusation still has an active account, aren't they supporting Blizzard's decision to sell them out for a dollar? Aren't they admitting that they are paying for the privilege of being bent over and reamed without lube, by a corporation that caters to "the rich"?
In the past I pressed the complainers for a response to that question, and not a single person ever responded to it. I'm not kidding, even the most ferocious and insulting trolls who made sure to always get in the last word-- they ALWAYS IGNORED that question. Not a single person bothered to address it. That still makes me smile.

"Multibox : !! LOZERS !!" My multiboxing blog
My post is not edited. The idiot statement is still there. Perhaps I should have said being idiots. Sorry if you took it personally.
Just wait till damn near the whole games becomes instanced like Icecrown and Storm Peaks. If multiboxing is still allowed then, that will be the day I quit and go back to soloing if not quit all together.
