Change in multiboxing policy

[schmonz]

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.

Well, i do not follow the idea it is other players that made it a problem. I think it is blizzard who are responsible for fixing farming for multiboxing, means, only allow one char to loot a node out of a group of same player chars. That is technically possible, as we know very well from older collecting quests.

I will never blame another player but the designers, who are responsible for keeping the economy stable under given circumstances.

You guys wanna know what screw multiboxing up ? Tokens.

Well, it is very clear to me that the mats prices will go up. Which also means people will sell more tokens to acquire more mats for crafting.

My refund request was just denied by the GM, so ofc re-submitted.....

Huge thanks to Lax, Mirai, all of the content creators, and other boxers.

This 1000X over and to the rest of the community here, odd that my first post after lurking for many years is when people feel like the community is dying.

Im not giving up...I always enjoyed the time spent tuning my setup...I think more than I enjoyed playing the game itself. So after blizzards clarifying comments yesterday on their stance I went out and ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/EG-Joystick-Co...uttons&sr=8-25

I have a few old PC's laying around so hardware boxing it is...I think Im going to have some fun making a custom controller that hooks up to 4 pc's and the joysticks will just be for quick movements during fights while I drive off my main.

It will be nowhere near as efficient and fun to use as isboxer is but what I like about muti-boxing was always the challenge of it....so this is just a new challenge.

Trrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeee.
Big thank you to Ebony for not only the addon-- but her amazing writeups, based on her beta testing before an expansion dropped. Always got me excited.
Mirai! Helped me out quite a few times over the MANY years, either with isboxer support or advanced pc tips appreciate you!

We didn't want this to happen. We tried to play fairly and clean where we could. Was a pretty fun 15 or so years.

FYI I submitted my request and got 4 refunds. I kept one for now. I suspect I'll get bored but we'll see. I"m interested if anyone does find a single machine setup that works with no broadcast software. I was thinking of recompiling hotkeynet as a different EXE name but not sure if the warden would find that.

If you ask for a refund then do not tell them it's because of the multiboxing change. They might use that as a reason to deny you. Just don't say anything at all. If you DO say something then say you're unhappy because the game was delayed since that's the entire reason they're giving refunds in the first place. They gave me an 800 dollar refund so you can definitely get it.

Better do not try it, it is still a TOS violation. Also, warden is not blizzards only line of defense.

the news broke my heart, i really hope they will change their policy maybe to multibox with max 5 chars. If not i also lost all the fun in the game and also when tbc server will come out I have no reason to play it anymore

It sucks, I loved the challenge of setting up a dungeon team and doing mythics. Sucks that they didn't just limit it to a lower count. I can see a reason to prevent the 30 druids camping hyper spawns.

Nail in the coffin for me. I started boxing 14 toons at the end of legion and half way through BFA. I stopped mainly because GMs would constantly harass me because cry babies would report me for just sitting on my Ally city Boralus tweaking my team’s rotation. Also sitting in abandon Iron Forge transmogging my toons and a GM would jump in my chat and tell me to stop harassing players. I was like WTF are you talking about I literally just logged in. I would record everything when I logged in so I always had prove that I was minding my own business. I never got banned but the constant harassment got me to the point I didn’t want to risk getting perma Ban. On the bright side Blizz saved me thousands I was exited about the new PvP Vendors and PvP changes I was starting to contemplate bringing back my UH DKs and Resto Shamans for the new expansion. I was gonna upgrade my machine to the new AMD 5950x, the Radeon 6800XT, 64GBs the 14 new subs and expacs . TY Blizz you have save me thousands of dollars. I am permanently hanging my Multiboxing gloves and retiring from this addiction. I’ll use that money to buy other crap I don’t need lol
