Change in multiboxing policy

[Kraxx]

Warden scanning your memory, so, I guess they know what are you using and make decision based on this. If you don't have innerspace/ahk/hkn in background, you must be fine.

I coded my own multibox key broadcast application in python in less than 2 hours (for educational purpose). Every Script-Kiddy can do this.


I'm sure that Warden would detect my application if I would use it (will not try it --> ToS). I don't think that Warden is that stupid = scan for Innerspace, IsBoxer etc. and thats it.

If you broadcast the same key to all clients (no matter if it is hardware or software based) I'm sure you will get a ban ... sooner or later

The only method that would work is:
- use separate Hardware for each client
- don't send the same key to all clients at the same time
- don't look like a multiboxer ingame (biggest challenge)

Now is the time to open up for character transfers between accounts on Classic. I've unsubbed on my other accounts, but I still want to play on a single character, and I would like to keep all my alts too.

Not gonna happen, I already explained in a previous post why 👇

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.

We are fucked. I also want to transfer all my classes to the account where I will 1-box from now on, but looks like I will have to level/boost all on them again.

Ofc not, but first trigger is this. Anyway, how that guy farmed hyperspawn isn't a software/hardware boxing, delay exists as well, and its naturally random. Unless you gonna say that built in things in Windows are 3rd party.

Anyway it doesn't matter. Until they fix hyperspawns or multinodes, botters, bot boxers will exist, with soft or no, means nothing. Because overall they earn way more money even with bans.

I am not sure if this is anything significant but I heard blizzard is adding gamepad support and gamepad allows for some strange interfacing inconsistencies that I have experienced in other games like continuing to fly a plane in battlefield even though the menu is in your face and your mouse and keyboard wouldn't be able to do it with the menu currently on while game is running in background. Maybe there is a way to take advantage of something like how a gamepad works when blizzard allows for gamepad support.

After trying to press the support for a few tickets regarding weather or not using a macro capable mouse or autohotkey script to rebind windows hotkeys for switching active process (alt+tab etc..) would be a problem, i got the impression they were pretty specificly told to purposefully be vague on the subject and to stick just to copy pastas, pointing towards the ToS.

I did get the following response in the end. https://gyazo.com/cce968c84b6365fa4658704a61049285

So there might be further blues comming to clarify the intent of the change and/or specifics regarding hardver/vm etc...

Welp, like most here, I am not entirely surprised that the metaphorical Damocles' Sword has finally dropped. That being said, I regret being on a 6 month sub for my accounts, but happy that I never purchased the new expansion.

So long, folks. It was nice to hang out here with like-minded gamers, but life goes on.

Just incase it hasn't been mentioned - this is how i used to do it back in the BC/Wrath days.

I agree its a slippery slope at this point, and I probably wouldn't invest the money with the corporate stance change. I literally threw out my old PS/2 multi-casters like three weeks ago, then saw this. Crazy timing. I recently came back to WoW after quitting for like many many years. I have noticed a lot of what I thought were multiboxers (3-5x Boomkins) running around completely controlling questing zones. Tried messaging them - nothing. They're bots. At that point I had a feeling that multiboxing in WoW was on its way out.

Good luck to ya'll.

Hmm, weird, I got warning message. I didn't play on retail since February via ISBoxer. Currently, just playing dualbox for lvling and some other stuff. ISBoxer/InnerSpace still installed, but didn't launch game through it. Even keyboard, mouse soft, everything disabled. The only possible thing that I had InnerSpace opened in background while at battle.net launcher, but I closed it before hitting "Play" button.

Fun thing, mail was received like 1h later after I tried GSE, but ofc it's not due to it, because GSE is based on WoW API.

Maybe it's due to Input Director, but i'm using it just to control laptop.

@woloss ISBoxer/InnerSpace just being installed will be enough to get a warning. You need to completely uninstall ISBoxer/InnerSpace if you want to keep playing WoW. Blizzard is detecting based on the software being present - whether or not you are using that tool to violate the policy or not. Some of the warnings are even going out based on previous usage of these tools.

Someone else on discord provided this today:

i got a warning today and asked gm that topic. Because i dont use anythinggm said me


"As far as we are aware, these emails have been set to all accounts that have previously input software or tools in the past and are specifically a warning
If you are currently not using the software or intend to use in the future, then you will be fine"
