Change in multiboxing policy

[nodoze]

Please show us where GM's have said this! Again- using and installed are very different things. The two shouldn't be conflated. When Blizzard sends out a warning or action, it is for a specific account with specific reasoning.

NO ONE has received a warning that says "because we detected X software installed on your pc".

An actionable offense will always specify the account and the action: "We detected X on this account". Meaning you did something WHILE playing on that account.

I have it on good authority that blizzard is looking for a specific type of software interaction with their games. And it is this type of interaction that was being exploited.

If LAX is recommending we uninstall, I have not received that notice. And I do still use the software with OTHER games.

Multiple people in the ISboxer Discord have said they received warnings when running WoW with InnerSpace in the background even though they did not use ISboxer nor InnerSpace in any way to launch nor interact with WoW.

He does not disagree with this, neither do I. Where I, and I assume Pocahuntesss, disagree with Jak3676 is in just having it installed is an actionable offense, this is completely untrue.
Yes Blizzard can detect it if it is a running process and can then action your account because they will detect the prohibited software. But just having it installed and NOT running they cannot (or at least SHOULD not) be able to see this as that is a giant breech of privacy. That's like saying they can see all my nudes just because its "installed" on my hard drive. It's completely wrong.
Saying just having innerspace installed and is detecable without being a running process and therefore actionable IS misinformation. You do NOT need to uninstall innerspace to keep playing WoW. You DO need to make sure it is closed and NOT a running process to keep playing wow without getting actioned.

I don't know about that. I also don't rely on SHOULD as we know what companies like Google have done.

I do know that if you only use InnerSpace for MultiBoxing WoW there is no reason to keep InnerSpace installed and I would uninstall it (in fact I already did).

If I decide to use InnerSpace for other games in the meantime while all this is sorting out I will use Innerspace on a totally separate computer that does not have any WoW clients installed. It is not worth the risk to me that:

• - I accidentally get InnerSpace set to Auto-Start, &/or
• - I accidentally forget to shut InnerSpace down when I switch to play WoW, &/or
• - I accidentally start InnerSpace up while I am playing WoW, &/or
• - I accidentally start WoW up while I am playing a different game under InnerSpace, &/or
• - I accidentally forget to stop InnerSpace after I finish playing and go to bed...

The risk is absolutely not worth it to me and I don't like having to worry about what is running or not running all the time when trying to take a break and have some fun and switch back and forth between games...

I am looking forward to a new "skinny" version of ISboxer/InnerSpace that is named/seperate (like the proposed JMB) and approved by Blizzard.
