Anet's Official Stance on Multiboxing Updated

As part of ArenaNet’s policy on third-party programs, we are often asked about multi-boxing and the use of macros. Here is our policy:
Macros
Guild Wars 2 players are permitted to use macros as long as the macros are programmed with a 1 key for 1 function protocol.
This means that if you program a macro, it must require one keystroke per action. You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions.
For example, if you Press A and it results in the casting of a single skill, you’re ok. If you Press A and it casts multiple spells, you’re not ok.
You cannot program a macro to perform the same or multiple actions on more than one account at a time.
You cannot program an “auto-clicker” macro that, for instance, opens chests while you play elsewhere.
Dual- or Multi-Boxing
You may use more than one account at the same time.
You may use more than one computer at the same time.
You must be actively playing on each account.
And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.
a. For example, if you press W on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.

Still kicking! I know not the place.. I had to put WoW on hold for the time being due to the newest baby addition. I'm thinking 3 months~ give or take, once he gets into a sleep schedule I can continue my love affair with WoW.

Yes you can!

Just have to do it the old fashioned way.

You know, with multiple computers, where the term originated from.

Ok well... I CAN, at any rate if you can't then tough luck.

Ohh I can.. i did it for years in EQ and DaoC.. but why would i want to go backwards? I would never be able to stand doing the old way now!

So i guess i should have a said " looks like "I" wont be multiboxing that game.

Very bad business decision. There is no way the amount of players who cancel their accounts to multiboxing outweigh the additional copies of the game they sell to multiboxers.
Additionally it's not like they made it easy with no /follow.

Ellllaaaaay! Good to see you around! Yeah.. Kinda non-news to me, I couldn't even try to miltibox that game.

[Meathead]
