New guy's boxing and ?'s

[MiRai]

I am also curious as to why when I go to wow wiki type sites AutoHotKey seems so highly recommended yet as i brows these forums most people seem to not use it. Any reason for that or no reason in particular? I guess having the creators of the programs as forum members must help.

Welcome.

I do not know the answers to your other questions since, as you stated, people here really don't see to use
much of AHK these days. If I'm not mistaken, AHK requires you to script all the stuff you do and most
multiboxers don't want to be screwing around with scripts and what not. Most multiboxers have chosen to go
with ISBoxer because it's an all-in-one tool which offers more than any other program does, however, it costs
money. For those that wish to utilize much of the power that ISBoxer has they usually go with HotKeyNet which
is the free alternative. HKN uses scripting as well but people here still use it so new folks looking to use HKN
can find support either here or on HKN's page.

Unfortunately, the level of knowledge and support for AHK will be quite low at this point. However, feel free to
discuss whatever you'd like about AHK assuming it falls within the rules of this site. Talk about all multiboxing
software is allowed here in this community.

This next statement is a guess from what I've heard and is not fact.

I believe AHK was looked at as botting software back in the day. I'm assuming that had hurt its reputation
here and it never fully recovered from that. People found other alternatives such as Keyclone, HKN, or ISBoxer
and just continued on playing.

EDIT: I am not trying to deter anyone from using AHK with the above statement nor am I here to judge anyone
on their play style. Just because a certain feature is available in whatever software anyone uses doesn't mean
that they are necessarily breaking any rules. Certain features are available because not all games have the
exact same rule set for what is legal and what is not. It is up to the user of the software on whether they want
to entirely play by the rules or not.
