Wow...some freakin stupid people in that thread then, thanks for posting the excerpts, I appreciate it :p

Anytime they give the argument "LOLZ U HAS 2-5x the HP OF ME WTF", just ask "What makes this different from 5 unique, non-boxed chars ganking you in an even more merciless fashion? They can CC multiple targets and keep an eye on each other; multi-boxers can focus fire, but cannot multi-task." "And no, I do not have 5x the hp...I still die in just as many hits whether I'm alone or with my group, just like you would. Just like in any other pvp situation, you have multiple targets to deal with, each with their own hp pool, and in normal pvp, killing one or fearing many doesn't completely destroy their ability to fight; doing those to a multi-boxer causes huge issues and "breaks" most of them; cut the head off and the limbs are useless; seperate the limbs from the head and they're fairly useless."

"Your arguments have holes which you conveniently ignore. Blizzard has not stated anything about what we are doing is illegal in any way, shape or form, PERIOD. We can and will provide you with these quotes and links if necessary. And you're welcome to ask 'em yourself via petition or forums, you'll hear the same thing. Even if you ban keyclone, there's so many other ways to do this both expensive and not so expensive that you wouldn't have accomplished anything but deny a legitimate businessman, keyclone's programmer, of his earnings on a program he has gone out of his way to contact blizz and ensure is legal, as well as not add features that could even be considered botting or automated. It could be as simple as 5 $10 wireless keyboards & mice or simply using NO HARD OR SOFTWARE WHATSOEVER AND ALTTABBING/USING INGAME MACROS to synch things up.

Multi-boxing is an old, if relatively low-population hobby. It has been done in UO, it has been done in DAoC, it was done in EQ and is in WoW and picking up interest and spreading to other games as well. It is a CHALLENGE, not EZMODE. It has cons that counterbalance what you consider the pros, and if you actually -try- to do it with trial accounts you will realize this.

Bottom line is, since you have an easier whine(OMGFOCUSFIREWITHOUTTEAMSPEAK/VENT/INGAMEVOICECHAT), you take it instead of what you WOULD have whined about(OMG5LV70sWITHNOLIFESGANKING&CAMPINGME&GENERA LCHATDOESNTGIVEASHIT/WONTHELPME or ZOMGNERFCLASSxORyCUZTHEYBEATMEWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HBLIZZWAAAAAAAH); Multi-boxing is here, legit, resistance is futile, you will be ass-laminated."
