Last week I un subscribed all my accounts because of all the recent suspensions and bans and decided to check back to see if it was still happening. While everyone says and even blizzard says that multi-boxing is allowed, I have come to believe that they won't come right out and tell us that they don't want us boxing in BG's. They see it as an exploit where as one player has an advantage over other players. So that said I personally believe they will not fix this problem for us and force boxers out of the pvp part of the game. They will continue to keep saying that boxing is allowed, which it is technically but as long as you stay out of bg's and arena.

I logged onto my battle.net accounts today to see if the bans had been lifted as they said they were going to do. Because I would like to come back to the game when/if this problem is fixed and was surprised to see that all my accounts are now banned. Previously, when I unsubscribed only 2 had 3 day bans and I haven't played since. But in that time I did receive a message on a ticket that all my previous bans were un-banned. This is not the case, and even though I haven't played since I unsubscribed I have earned 3 new bans. Curious.... I have submitted a ticket to fix this, just in case they do fix the game so that boxers can pvp without fear of being suspended or banned.

I will keep updating as new information comes my way.

I have moved to Guild Wars 2 and am having fun with that game right now. I don't know if you can multi box it. But I opened a single account just to get a feel for the game. So far I am having fun with it.

I haven't bothered with GW2 as Dead Space 3 is due out next month and I still haven't finished up Borderlands 2. Throw a hectic work schedule on top of that and I have little time for WoW.

So yeah I'm with you here. Unsubbed all my accounts last night. But I have a month to go so I want to step into some random BGs and see if my mogged twins and like names get me banned right away. When I have time I'll check. Got 20 days left on the subs.

After the gm ticket response I posted earlier I would think that they no longer wish to tolerate it in pvp or instance situations, where for example (as I have seen before) some person who has no idea how to box drags a toon on raf behind on follow, while it contributes nothing to the group.

5 vs 5 a multiboxer should lose every time; but because people are terribly uncoordinated they normally don't.

It would seem that you're really just jumping to conclusions with no real evidence besides what you're picking out of certain replies from these GM tickets. Anyone who's been in this 'scene' longer than a few months knows that GMs are usually full of shit and 1 out of 10 GMs have an actual informative answer when it comes down to something like this. Let's face it, if Blizzard wanted to remove multiboxing from any part of the game they'd just remove /follow; because any solo character can still fully function w/o the follow command, where as, a multiboxer cannot.
