5-box leveling, balancing efficiency and "safety" ?

[Jabberie]

Ok so,
If I'm 5-boxing Classic from 1-60, I will undoubtedly be reported multiple times because:
A - Most non-boxers can't tell the difference between boxing and botting, and
B - Most players are already under the impression that boxing is against the ToS




But if I am using nothing but ISboxer and the ISboxer addon.....can I assume that GM's will be able to see this and not ban me erroneously??

No, you cannot because it's not only what you're using but what you're doing that gets you in trouble.


If you look or act like a bot or someone up to no good then you'll get in trouble.
If all you're doing it playing the game properly, you'll be fine.


Like JohnGabriel, I have been playing and multiboxing WoW for a long time, June 2007. The longest I've ever not played the game was 2 weeks once. I went to Blizcon and had a vacation. Other than that, I play 3-7 nights a week for 2-5 hrs. I have never been suspended from the game.

If you used to cheat on other games, have trainers etc, (before you plan to play wow), may i suggest that you reformat your harddrive and reinstall the OS before you start boxing (warden, the "anti cheat software" gets installed when you install wow, it could detect your "old sins" hehe), if you happen to have some running accidently etc). Also try be vary of the content on any other harddrives connected to this pc. If it has a bunch of old "trainers" etc, remove those aswell.

Warden only cares about Blizzard based games and cheats that interact with those games.

Also, stay away from using "vpn", seems they dont like those and you can get flagged for a ban (though these seems to be easily "overriden" and you can get your accounts back). But probably safest to not have one when you play wow.

VPNs get you banned because they also are used by people that go cheat/bot/hack. Unless you're paying for your VPN, the likelyhood it's terrible is high.

Be super critical of everything you install after this, like "software for keyboards" etc, as they can contain automation features, worst case scenario.

smh...

You can get some nasty whispers, but dont reply, just ignore them. They usually dont believe anything you will say anyway (and 99% will report you), so its a waste of time and effort.

You're a dick if you don't reply and make multiboxers look bad. If you're a dick when you do reply, you make multiboxers look bad. If they are a dick to you, report them as if you were playing solo. Don't be the dick and report them on all your accounts, you make multiboxers look bad.

Though if they complain that you are tagging all the mobs in the area, and they cant complete their quest, let them get what they need, so they can be on their way (if not, gamemasters dont like it when/if you distrupt other players gameplay, could be a bannable offence if it goes too far for a longer periode of time).

Don't be a dick and stop players playing, simple enough logic.

Moral is: if you have to cheat in other games, do it on a different computer. And make sure it has never ever had any battlenet / wow installed on it before.

Don't be a cheating f..k, full stop.
