Multiboxing blue post

[MiRai]

Interesting. Seems like Blizzard has always had a pretty pragmatic and non-interventionist stance on it.

I'm fairly certain that there are a handful of higher-ups at Blizzard who are familiar with multiboxing, and multibox themselves, but I can't know those details for sure. Others at Blizzard, such as Bashiok, Zarhym, and Holinka, have all spoken out against multiboxing publicly over the years, but I would like to believe that they're either tolerant of it outside of PvP, or don't really care enough to fight the policy internally. /shrug

The psychology of the anti-multiboxer provides considerable food for thought. Is it victim mentality? Just pure jealousy over people with more resources (slaves to the class-division rhetoric of the political elite)? Rules lawyers? Possessive of what they perceive as "their game" and detest anyone that isn't playing it the way they *feel* it should be played? Generalization based on the actions of a few well-known malefactors?

Regardless of the specifics, it does seem like the type of person that gets bent out of shape over multiboxers is inexperienced in dealing with other humans in an objective, professional manner.

This is something I've been truly interested in for some time.
