Change in multiboxing policy

[gisshan]

I canceled all my subs except the main account today and asked for a refund for the 4 min main accounts' shadowlands pre-orders. All 4 have been refunded. I didn't worry about the sub time as they were all a couple weeks from done on their 6 months.

Oh man. What am I going to do with all this new free time i've been given? help!

[Kruschpakx4]

while we're at it, with battlegrounds not having follow either, in tbc i can just go 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5 and 5/5 lightning mastery on each shaman and tab through windows press lightning at 0,1 sec difference and have them all fire at the same time

i can even add a 6th shaman and have curse of tongues on him

problem solved

What im curious about is how to interpret the wording about "using software to mirror commands to multiple accounts at the same time"

A. The CCP (eve-online) reaction of InnerSpace/ISBoxer is ok; Input broadcasting will get a ban.

B. Using software that can broadcast regardless of if you broadcast will get a ban.


I would like to two-box and use a 2nd programmable keypad to control the 2nd character. I'm not bold enough to try the hardware multiplexing to separate computers, I think that is getting to close the the "spirit" of the the rule change.

In case any of you are getting denied refunds by GM. Just resubmit. Eventually it will get to someone who dedicates time to it. Mine have gone through.

I've quitted today my job at HelloFresh beacuse they are bunch of dicks, it depends on your free will if you can give people, some people randomly receive less then they should, then there is specific words that you use that either grant you "refund,half refund, no refund" etc. Just bunch of bulls......

Yeah, some service reps are great, some are complete morons who should just delete their life ( I've been told numerous times that I am one of best reps that people got since i usually take care of everything promptly, not to mention being empathic as well to maximum). But cba tollerating that shit anymore, swear to god I'll write memoars about HF is junk company (not to mention they play on fine print in tricking alot of people).

On topic:

I am glad that you got refunded, as you should. Previous agent was obviously dick. This change sucks, they could limit boxing to 5 man, having hardware ban on botters/ limit the nodes to 1.
But yeah, people that relentlly sfarm gold, messed this up, and as some1 said how easy is to get into it, everyone started boxing not for challenge and fun, but for "profit"

I am just sad due to Lax and other's effort on this, I know that WOW is prolly biggest boxing software and biggest contributor, shame to put their work behind, if only they could be a proper company that handles bottitng, not like this, putting banhammer on everyone who is legit, burn you dammit Blizz., sigh.

Yeah, if players are going to circumvent this new rule with hardware solutions, Blizzard surely will adapt. Yet, this change will make multiboxing even more niche as it was, probably those very exotic implementations would not get onto blizzards radar.

Blizzard obviously does not want Multiboxing to be popular. And this is their solution.

they could have just removed /follow, but they didnt. So i would assume they are okay with multiboxing wow and that they just got tired of the sudden wave of massive gold/resource farming botters/semi-afkers.

I dont think they have an issue with multiboxing getting popular at all, likely the opposite and they would welcome it, but not if it's going to be abused as it was in BFA by many. I'd say 4 out of 5 boxers i came across while boxing myself were either herb botting(yes botting) or afk/semi-afk stand still farming.

I feel like the decision to ban multiboxing might be hinting at some sort of f2p model coming. Games that go to f2p often tend to ban multiboxing or take hard actions against it.

What Bliz should have done in my estimation is, designated certain servers as multibox friendly. That way they don't lose thousands and thousands of subs, and people who hate multiboxers can move off those servers and multiboxers can move onto those servers.

that makes a lot of sense, especially after the cosmetic wings transmog MTX popularity.

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🤪

You guys wanna know what screw multiboxing up ? Tokens.

I do agree they should limit to 5 at least and let us stay or move us to a server where it's allowed to box on classic and live.

Instead of just pulling a plug. A lot of people invested tons of time and money into it. I wish blizzard would understand.
