Blue Post against Complainer about Multiboxing

[zenga]

Call me a fool but I can totally understand that if you press 1 key and it gets send to 5 clients, there is automation involved. Keybroadcasting is some form of automation. Automation in my book is something you don't need to do yourself, so 4 out of the 5 are automated keypresses. One can argue about the semantics, but I wouldn't call someone retarded for sticking to that logic.

The point is however that it's allowed by bliizzard, could even call it non banable automation. So the whole discussion doesn't really matter. Truth is that there are so many ways to accomplish this (think about the 5x mouse tied to 1 stick) it's basically irrelevant.

There were a few responses in there that made me laugh.

I had to throw in my 2 cents in that thread. Come on, Blizz says it's ok, just give up. Reminds me of stubborn kids crying in the store, pleading with their parents to buy them that one toy eventho they said no. If blizz one day said botting was legal, there is not a thing we could do about it. It's their game and we play it.

If they could start discussing if it was OP to multibox in PvP, then it could maybe be a "good" discussion.

Correct, which is why Blizzard defines what they mean when they use the term. They are referring to automating a series of commands, which you would be able to do with a single client. They have-- repeatedly-- clarified this distinction. But you always get several people who insist that all that Blizzard said is "automation is bannable" and that therefore ANY type of automation is bannable. But that isn't the case, and when they dig in their heels you just end up going in circles.

It is really another form of "I don't care what Blizzard says, it's cheating." It may be Blizzard's game, but by golly the rules belong to Josh in California, because he's King of the Universe.
