I think maybe the way in which they were multiboxing triggered alarms for 'afking' - perhaps because they were on follow for a long period without action, or similar.

I'm staying away from any BG's until they fix it (*and stop confusing multiboxers for BOTs, and this entire report system in BG's sucks!) I doubt they gonna change anything- if not im gonna probably quit multiboxing- and save $130 a month. it sucks when you pay monthly and for expansions, put shitload of time to get to 90' and one day they just flip the switch- and change something on their end.

Hey Seth - I wish you would try it. Just to see what happens. Since you use a different program then me I think you might be ok. The frustration I have is that blizz won't give me an exact answer for the 3 hour suspensions, which led me to more 3 hour suspensions and finally a 3 day suspension.

For you, I wonder if you would have any problems being you use a different software then I. Try running a few AV's. Worst thing that would happen is you would get a 3 hour suspension if you have the same problem as me. I am very curious to see someone I am familiar with go into the AV's and see if they have any problems like me. If you get a suspension just open a ticket and blizz will take care of it. Otherwise they won't fix it and you will forever be virtually self banned from doing BG's.

^_ which program do you use for boxing?

[Percocet10n1]

isboxer

[Percocet10n1]

I've been using it for years. I don't think it's a isboxer or any other software issue on our end. I believe it's a blizz issue that tracks multi boxers as bots.

I'm also using isboxer - I think after patch they did something and it detects multiboxers as bots. OR only it takes few people to report you as cheating and you get locked out.

But the question is : Why 3 days or 3 hours? It's some kind of warning- something like you can multibox, but stay away from Bg's. if you come you get locked again.

The program you use is rather irrelevant. What they've done is escalated the /report function inside BGs.

How priority that is now is mystery to me but they either upped it significantly or made it so X number of reports in Y time means you are suspended.

I've been 5 boxing my B&P team for a week now and have not done a single BG. Just questing and 5 man dungeons. No suspensions at all. And I know for a fact some of the goofballs who tried to gank me open world did actually /report me before trying to.

People will /report you quick as shit when they see you are multiboxing because they despise us as much as botters. You should see some of the conversations I have with the retards on Cho'Lawl. They reported us back then too but now it's become a real problem with the functionality change.

LOL I didn't read your tag.. My bad. I thought you were using the other software for some reason.

@MadMilitia - And that is the problem. Why should you, as a multi-boxer, who does all the same things as a single player have to change the way you play the game? I mean, you quest, do dungeons and even bg/arena just like a single player. But because you use multiple accounts (that you pay for) you have to now stay away from one or several aspects of the game. Some how even though you pay just like a single player, you can't enjoy the game in the same way.

You are forced not to play certain aspects of the game just because blizzard came up with a knee jerk reaction to bots. Blizz is very hypocritical in this aspect, saying that multi boxing is ok with them and they allow it, when in reality, as of late they really don't. The bans/suspensions work in a snow ball effect as the more you get the worse the next penalty will be. And if you have lots of time to let the bans run out, the second you come up on the radar you will be banned/suspended again. They will take your money, but god forbid you get reported or you have toons on follow (what ever is causing these problems).

I also understand that I am in the minority. Not all multi boxers have had the same experience as me. I have been told that there are other MB's running AV and not having any problems. I am clueless why I received 8 bans/suspensions in 3 days. Hence why I am very upset with blizz at the moment.
