Is boxing allowed in the game? All I can find is this:

■Behaviour that disrupts the game balance
Square Enix strictly prohibits the use of third-party programs or tools – including programs and tools that permit automated or “absentee” play – in Final Fantasy XIV. Accordingly, the following activities are prohibited:


- Modifying, analysing, integrating, and/or reverse engineering game software or data.
- Creating, distributing, using, or promoting utilities that interact with the game.

As multiboxers I believe we do operate in that grey area of acceptability. You could interpret this statement any way that fits your bias. Personally I see this being aimed at bots. People use 3rd party tools/plugins for damage meters. They do not condone, and actually will ban people for talking about it in game. As for multiboxing and software input broadcasting: their definitions and applications could change at any point. If you're gun shy because of Blizzard, that's reasonable, but at the end of the day I'm comfortable with multiboxing this game for a few reasons.

1.) Square Enix has a concept of "Service Account" where you can have multiple service accounts under the same Square-Enix Account.
2.) Multiple people have multiboxed this in the past and present. While not popular to do so for a number of reasons, doesn't make it something that's even on their radar.
3.) There is no concept of a token or way to trade in the in game currency for money. As a result, I can't identify any reason why they would crack down on the behavior of multiboxing.

At the end of the day I'm going to enjoy this game (while I can?), do my best to play to the spirit of the game, and be a good actor in their ecosystem. If I get banned or they change their rules, then I'll move on.

I have put in a ticket to ask, so will return with any answer I get. I also did the same for Rift.

I'd love to box ff14 myself as I already have a 4 seat mount waiting My main has done all of the ff14 content while I was on a break from WoW.

I think it's time the list of games that actually fully allow multiboxing was updated.

I think they will say multiboxing is fine, software is not.

I forgot this post existed. Have to agree with you. No one is ever going to say you can do it, and as long as their definition includes "automatic" it's really unclear as to whether the input broadcasting is okay. They're not going to bother going up the chain of command high enough to give a concrete answer unless there's a reason for them to do so. An individual wanting to play their game is not really a strong enough reason. It's very likely we're going to get a response that is identical to what they've already said.
