Mirrored keystrokes to become actionable, thoughts?

Hopefully Blizzard realizes that this only helps botters and they revisit this to give us multiboxers some kind of accommodation.

They should designate 1 multiboxing server per region. That would be the intelligent thing to do.

I canceled my 5 accounts, noting their change in ToS in my cancelation request. And even though I could institute a 'mechanical' solution across many machines, I believe that bans will be more due to user making reports than from binary scans and I just don't want to deal with that. I am not sure what makes me more disappointed, the fact they took this course, or the vitriol responses against multiboxers in the blizz forums.

Seriously, the people on the forums are crazy. They're acting like they've just defeated nazis of something. I've never seen so many people this crazy about what a minority of players are doing.

-"...and we've seen an increasingly negative impact...";

But take the whole quote and it says

we've seen an increasingly negative impact to the game as this software is used to support botting and automated gameplay.

This is a nuclear warhead being used to try and beat bots, as they've found no other way to do it, and we're just collateral damage.

If they wanted multiboxers gone all they have to do is remove /follow, after all.

We can thanks our russian friends. On EU servers, they litterally swamped Nazjatar for months, I have not heard of a single person mining or farming herbs not annoyed by these teams of 8 druids server hoping and stealing everything in every zones during week end rush hours and prime time in evening.

I cancelled my 6 accounts and referenced this change on the exit form.

Have they issued a date that it applies from?

Only thing I have seen officially is that "... We will soon (TM) begin issuing warnings ..."

From multiple people in the ISboxer Discord we have multiple confirmations of warnings going out apparently for ISboxer/InnerSpace. One example was a user who only logged in multiple accounts to do passive crafting cool-down Transmutes with no broadcasting. Not 100% sure that there were no player reports but it does indeed look like they may be scanning for ISboxer/InnerSpace.

We can wait for more folk to report to have better indication of causation but at this point the safest thing may be to stop using ISboxer until more is known...

On the good news front in the ISboxer Discord this morning there was an announcement work on a new slimmer version with no features against the ToS.

A sample warning message from Blizzard:
