Wrongful ban and a warning to those who box to farm

[Jabberie]

I typically do not sit at my computer while I farm.

This is botting.

This is botting.

No, it isnt. As I have the keyboard and am doing the actions my self.

There are many people who do this. I can even reference posts made on this very forum where people state they do this

Ill just edit here and post one of the many posts on here I have found where people do this

As ive said before and ive told blizzard spesifically, i only visually check my monitors around one time every 30 to 45 min. As im either laying in bed or sitting in the sofa either reading in university books or watching tv. And i dont reply to /whispers or communication from strangers. They said "ok " in reply to this. As long as i dont cheat, and it was strongly implied that they would be able to find out, if i did, they couldnt care less what im doing while just pressing my few "farm buttons" over and over. And ive done this around since oct 2017.

Admittedly this feels like a grey area, but ive never really noticed any very obvious botchecks. And never been contacted by a gm. People travelling past say they have rapported me or going to rapport me for botting almost on a daily basis.

But this is a major issue with the boxing community and blizzard needs to change their ways of this or just dont allow it all together.

Calling it a "major issue" is quite a stretch, seeing as the vast majority of multiboxers, in WoW, have been multiboxing without any problems for years. It's only recently become a "major issue" for those who want to engage in mindless, AFK farming, and even then, there are plenty who've not had any problems continuing to do so.

I have since found that isboxer is NOT an approved addon but has just been said by GMs and blue posts that iwas "considered" ok. But in this case, and many more it is not.

First, there is no such thing as an "approved" add-on; Blizzard provides the API and add-on developers use it. If an add-on operates within Blizzard's Lua sandbox, then it's "approved."

Second, Blizzard has never, in the history of World of Warcraft, banned anyone for using an add-on that relied entirely on the API that they allow their playerbase to openly utilize.

There are many people who do this. I can even reference posts made on this very forum where people state they do this

Out of everyone who multiboxes in WoW, those who engage in stand-still or mostly-AFK farms are certainly the vast minority, and, while this might sound harsh, you will find little sympathy from most on this forum when it comes to defending action taken against those who participate in stand-still, AFK farms, as a multiboxer.

Also, the person you quoted has been called out on this forum for heavily misleading and misinformed statements before, so they're probably not the best person to be relying on as evidence of anything.

You are not in control of the characters. If you are investigated while sitting on your couch, you're banned. No questions asked.

I told him he was stupid as well.
