The trick here is that sharing accounts is against the Terms of Service or whatchamacallit, outside of a very limited scope, and is a banable offense at that. And as is obvious, Multiboxers are not noted for being subtle and out of sight, they generally excel at drawing attention to themselves, whether they want to or not.

Nothing is a sure ban. If, however, you get reported and the GM checks up on your details and finds that you're simultaneously using accounts that aren't all yours, you may have some tricky explaining to do.


As to your real question, there is a subtle difference between multiboxing the old fasioned way with alt+tabbing or two keyboards or whatnot, and using Hard/Software multiplexing (sending one to signal several places). The difference is that you'll appear to be doing stuff a lot more synchronously with the latter, giving you a higher chance of being reported as a botter, thus earning you a higher chance of being scrutinized, thus a higher chance of being banned.


Also keep in mind, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't ever happen. That's faulty logic, that is.
