Well, I got banned today, good-bye 4 mages, and mains. (Non Dual-Boxing Ban)

[zanthor]

As far as bypassing the GCD - I spam arcane explosion, arcane missiles, pretty much any of the dps keys I have on my mages/priests like I'm having a siezure... I'd be curious to see how blizzard differentiated this from a macro set to repeat every 25ms since the time between the server getting this would be skewed by latency...

That said, I'm a firm believer that we don't see the full story here on the ban, as I read through this we went from a simple setup of 5 boxing with mixed account ownership to 5 boxing with mixed account ownership using scripting software in the past and currently running on non-supported OS configurations... something which blizzard has banned for in the past (and reconsidered after they did)...

Rimmel have you tried calling the support line? I once ebayed an account (which I do not do anymore, nor do I condone), a few months later the original owner took (stole) it back. I called the support line and tried my hardest to get it back, but couldn't. Either way the people on the phone were pretty darn helpful. The whole time I had to pretend I was the real owner. I'd try calling them, I'm sure they can help you. I've dealt with them a few times, and they are nice.

I too have 4 accounts with one account as a different name. Back in my ebay hayday I was buying and selling accounts (which I do not do anymore, nor do I condone) cuz I was bored. I wound up keeping two accounts. The aforementioned one was stolen back and I lost about $500. I still have the second one which I've been multiboxing with 3 other accounts without issues.

I'm sure it's a ticking timebomb to being banned, but whatever. I figure if I eventually get banned it will free about another $60/month, and will allow me to play other games again! I also am tempted to triple box Eve Online.

Until then I'll keep playing.

Don't give the forum trolls any more nefarious accusations for the multiboxing community. Keep in mind our [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1840']forum rules.[/url]

Many thanks. Keep in mind from a few "nice" threads on the official WoW forums that anything we say here can and does get read by people who would LOVE to see multiboxing disappear and will misquote ANYTHING we say in order to "convince" blizzard that we, as a community, are horrible cheating TOU-breaking individuals.

It's always best to be 100% clear thanks to our lovely forum troll lurkers.

V is right as usual. Right now the QQ'rs on the official forums have decided to make MBing the QQ of the month. In the past week or two I have seen ten times the number of "OMG MB = HAX" threads on Blizzards forums. And a lot of those include postings where some crybaby misquotes those that post to this site.

All it took was one "my account was banned" thread on here to add fuel to the "see they are all botters" on the official forums.

The great thing about this site is it is completely dedicated to playing by the book and keeping completely within the limitations of the EULA and TOU. Postings about being banned or discussions on such when the case is clearly due to something other than the fact that it was a multiboxer that got banned really aren't in the best interest of this community.

Just because someone with Red Hair gets banned from WoW doesn't mean that all Red Heads are botters, but to the QQers they feel that they can twist it so it would seem the case. To them we are the red headed step children. By the way I am red headed so I can make fun of other read heads, >wink<

If that sketch is of you in your avatar... you must be red headed because your scalp got a sunburn.

BTW I am bald so can make fun of other baldies. >wink<

Technically I am bald too, but what little hair I do have is red, so does that mean I also can make fun of both red heads and baldies?

Yeah, sounds like we need to make this forum a little bit more exclusive. Perhaps make the registration process a bit more restrictive. I'm not sure if it's enabled already, but disallow anonymous viewing.
