Change in multiboxing policy

[Sservis]

If you read the announcement carefully enough it says specifically.

The use of input broadcasting software that mirrors keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients will soon be considered an actionable offense. We believe this policy is in the best interests of the game and the community.

Round robin keystroke passing does not fall under this definition. There is no mirroring going on there. It's one input, one action, in one client. Granted, I'm pretty sure that's going to be a pretty fine distinction and likely not to be sufficient to reverse any account action.

With how much im used to spam most buttons, it wont be too bad, atleast with up to 3boxing. But it will be wierd having to also spam /follow, use the lootarang toy, etc. Prefered class would be one with a tankpet: just casually press buttons and let the pets kill mobs off (in order to save strain on fingers).

Unless they outright ban the usage of isboxer, while playing wow... time will tell.

Back in 2004 I used hardware -- an Xkeys Programmable Keypad along with a KVM (5+ Physical PCs)
https://xkeys.com/xkeys/keys.html

Example: one keypad button would send
"scroll-lock scroll-lock 2 1"
"scroll-lock scroll-lock 3 1"
"scroll-lock scroll-lock 4 1"
"scroll-lock scroll-lock 5 1"

which would "go" to computer 2 and "press" 1, computer 3 and press 1, etc.

Basic and slow but it worked.

I'm sure people will come out with something. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

that’s before they made clear tos changes like now, anyone who now multiboxes will be reported so hard it will suspend everyone doing such actions.

sorry but boxing for wow has now died.

back to one player mode now bois

at the positives how much we got more in our bank account each month🤪

I think 2 main reasons they are making this change.
#1 to combat the massive amount of bots now utilizing multiboxing
#2 because the hate for us has grown so much over the years and it's reached a boiling point

If #1 is really a main reason for blizzard, you can bet they won't be happy with round-robin. Because the bots will spam those keys so fast, that round-robin would look like normal multiboxing and wouldn't make much difference for a bot to spam a key 5x in half a second.

It's time to request a free character transfer


wow x #> wow 1 (x)

It's time to request a free character transfer

wow x #> wow 1 (x)

They should do that but won't, because a transfer flags the character for a name change, and they don't want name changes in Classic.

I havent played in a few days now. Im gonna try change every single action in isboxer to round robin and play 3 accounts. Time will tell if i get any "warning".

Update... Eh... i will wait... for further clarifications... if isboxer itself = bannable or not (while having wow running), before i try this.

[valkry]

Round robin with rapid fire on key hold?

[WOWBOX40]

I suspect that might be the case Cokezero: if so, they should redefine their new rules and just flat out ban the usage of spesific softwares, while also running wow. *if round robin also wont be allowed.


Also, hang on...they mentioned keystrokes only.... what about mirroring/broadcasting the mousecursor and / or mouseclicks? It that also wont be allowed..
