I've always felt the more publicity multiboxing gets the worse off we all will be. For every multiboxer there will be 10 more haters, and eventually there will enough of them to persaude blizzard to change their stance on the matter in order to calm the masses. Pure speculation and opinion but it just seems lately there are a lot more multiboxers and a hell of lot more complainers, if that grows to a significant number then blizzard will be forced to do something about it that the minority will not like (us).
This doesn't seem likely. The more that they rant and complain, the more direct Blizzard's reps are in their responses. Lately they seem to be getting more exasperated with the people criticizing multiboxing. After all, it isn't multiboxers that start thread after thread after thread. They don't seem to be ready to give in to the people who are pissing and moaning. Besides, those people are not going to quit over this, they're mostly just venting. My favorite reply to many of them is to point out that if they really think that Blizzard is acting in a manner that is both immoral and unethical, and hurting their loyal players, why are they supporting it with their dollars? I have yet to get a reply to this, much less even an attempt at a serious one. When you tell them to walk the walk, they suddenly have something else to do.

The latest attempt at complaining about it in the customer service forum led to a CM directly stating that they have data that proves that it does not give multiboxers an unfair advantage in BGs. This was not him stating an opinion, this was him stating it as a fact. So we now have an official Blizzard response saying that not only is it not cheating, or exploiting, or a ToS violation... it's not even unfair! Nice job, whiners!!! Blizzard just shot down one of your last arguments left!

IMO, Blizzard has no intention of doing anything to multiboxing. They seem to say things like "well we never say never, but we have no plans..." which sounds a lot like "on the record, we can't say we won't ever forbid it. Off the record-- FUCK THE WHINERS, where's my keyclone!!!"
