No he never, he decided, for absolutely no reason (so he claims, but
why post in the very first line about his own scripts) to post one of
his first posts on the site that nearly everyone is pointed to
(including from the WoW forums in threads about how bad boxing is)
questioning the software most associated with boxing and implicitly
giving more ammunition to the anti-boxing crowd
1) I mentioned my own scripts because it was part of my motivation why I wanted to discuss the legality of this function. I though it was neat but I wanted to have a serious discussion about this so that we could in some way conclude the level of (indeed very very basic) automation. After I got a good answer (which showed that you can actually achieve the same by scripting the WoW macros) I felt that the discussion was over for my part.

2) I think that the fact that we discuss matters like this shows any observator or outside person that we indeed care a lot about being within the limitations of the ToS. At least I seriously am, and thats why I wanted this discussion.

3) Do you really think that sweeping uncomfortable (for some) matters under the rug makes things better for the community? Wouldn't that paint us as shady?
Yes I can, I dont play on a pvp server and I dont pvp with my multi-box
crew on my pve server in any way. What I do has no impact on anyone on
my server except I dont need to see them for anything except the rare
plans/cuts from raid zones.
I play on a PvE server also. I have before played 95% of the time on PvP servers but I decided to go PvE for the multi-boxing just because i didn't want to cause "I got ganked by the big bad multi-boxer, Plz Blizz NERF!"-attitudes from people.

Regardless of how we "impact" out realm its important that we (as a community) do our best to follow the rules. We are so few that one multi-boxer probably might destroy the reputation of multi-boxing on most of one realm by behaving bad.

I just started this friday, and I must say that the general public seams positive to multi-boxing. I try to be positive all the time. I buff people that i meet and help them out if they need it. I think this is the right way of making the public positive about it. To win the general populations "Heart and Minds".
