Nothing new to see here.


If the time comes that Blizzard seriously considers a rule change on this, they will probably get me on the horn. This doesn't affect just WoW either, remember that multiboxing is tolerated in Diablo 3 as well. And I spoke to them before anything Diablo 3 related showed up here.

So.. if they were going to be changing anything... they would probably want to provide advance notice to many people who might otherwise be banned as collateral damage. (There's a lot more people with more than one WoW account than there are dual-boxing.com members, after all...) They have absolutely no interest in immediately doing a 180 and banning all multiboxers; it would not improve their game, their public image, their money, nothing. Multiboxers wouldn't just go away, so they would have to have continuous enforcement, meaning they have to pay someone or multiple someones, just to figure out which people with multiple accounts they need to ban.

I don't see them ever banning multiboxing. And I do think there is a distinction between:
- pve multiboxing
- pvp multiboxing
- people with a 2nd account open for e.g. AH related stuff

The only way multiboxing affects other peoples gameplay is in pvp. If they ever were to change their stance towards multiboxers in pvp I can see them rather do things like disable /follow in random battlegrounds than banning it altogether.

They said something a few times about random PvP ques that the old BG queing system is old and random. i don't think they take follow off in bg's in fact don't even think they can. its not even a server tool its a client tool. unless they do something funky with the way the follow reads the chars names in bg's and then it just f***k up all target based Addons (can not see it going down like that)

All they do is Remake the queing system so Pemade groups vs Pemade groups only. and more checks to stop loads off playing up for the same bg at the same time to join in the same group. They said they wonted to check ilevels in bg's as well. To be fair if a system does come out like this (i think it will) ill be Quiting (a bit like how they removed no-xp players from randoms)

all the games i played as a non boxer av never seen boxers unless i get a lot off av-ioc
