The evolution of multiboxing

[zenga]

Good summary. It's not that i'm against evolution cq better technology. But i fear the point where boxing is going to become so sophisticated (while it's still within the rules), that it's no longer acceptable to *tolerate* it from the game developers point of view. I.e. that the 'future ways' to box are gonna change the perception blizzard gets from us.

Long story short, I'm pumped about the US win in the World Cup and jacked up on caffeine, so I'm bored

Grats, but i blame English not being my native language for reading 'up' as 'off' and thus raising an eyebrow or 2.

If it gets to the point where multiboxing software gets "too easy" to use, they'll just ban the "advanced" software, IMO. Nothing else will have changed, so why ban the folks who are still UI/macro craftsmen?

I do agree, though, that at some point, if they do decide to ban something, it'll be the software that "translates" a key on one client to something completely different on another client -- not the basic multiplexers.
