Either you're intentionally trying this playstyle for the challenge, or you haven't been introduced to multiboxing software. If you're doing it on purpose, then I hope you're having fun! I know I wouldn't be. If you just didn't know about multiboxing broadcasting software, then check out ISBoxer... it will change multiboxing as you know it.

I've intentionally decided not to use multiboxing bradcasting software, though I might try it one day. I started off on my macbook with three windows at the same time, I created an addon to make it easy for the characters to switch who they follow, I tried some broadcasting software for a short time also but didn't like it, it seemed qutie limited, didn't allow certain keys to be excluded from broadcasting, even though the source code for it is available I can't be bothered to get involved in trying to change it. I quickly moved onto my more powerfull windows machine that has a larger monitor and tried 5 boxing without the broadcasting software, I'm having fun, but there are a few little things that make it tiresome, such as following after combat, I guess I could get an addon to deal with that or write one.Originally Posted by Owltoid
The rest of what I quoted gave your multiboxing history, not a reason as to why you'd making it harder on yourself. So I am curious...
Why?
Perhaps you are you trying to prove a point?
What level are you, or, what is the the highest level of content you've experienced as a multiboxer?
I'm not trying to prove a point, I'm honestly asking for help.
I'm not a high level multiboxer, I just started a matter of days ago, perhaps 1 week, I dont remember.
I haven't been playing wow for long either.
So far I've found that I dont like using key broadcasters to move the characters, because there are different latencies between the windows, they all dont move at the same time, I think casting spells would be alright though.
If I created a character on your realm and watched your characters /follow each other around using any key broadcasting software they'd all be the same. What you're seeing is your own visual lag. Unless your computer is not able to handle 5 instances of the game at once I'm not sure how key broadcasting software would give you in game movement issues? If that is the only reason you're not using key broadcasting software I can only suggest to start trying some or else you might end up quitting before you even get a chance to begin. To each his own though.
Thanks for that.
What I'm seeing is the delay between pressing the key to move in one window and the time it takes for that command to reach the server and then get sent back to all the other windows. It sort of annoys me to hit the key whilst looking at a window and see one character move, while the other characters haven't started to move yet because the server hasn't sent the message to say that they have started to move. Hope that makes sense. That's my interpretation of it.
I really can't imagine quitting now that I've started, I really enjoy having a "Party" of characters to go adventuring with. I'm not trying to beat anyone or prove any kind of point about my skills. I used to play ssi role playing games as a teenager and I played warcraft 1 too. Just having fun.

If you can multibox current end game content without the use of key broadcasting software, then I tip my hat to you my friend. I believe you would be the first to accomplish such a feat.
