Is it legal to start multiple wows with a hotkey? And have the usernames/passwords automatically entered?

using HotkeyNet, its easy to automate it, but I don't wanna get in trouble. Right now i have a hotkey that opens up my 5 copies of wow, removes the borders, resizes the 4 alt windows, and places them where they should be (well, im still trying to get them onto a particular monitor, but that's for another thread) Then it puts the usernames and passwords in and logs in, and enters the world. Basically a single hotkey to get right into the game, and then I can do the invite macro and get going.

Is this ok with blizzard? Or should I have it stop at opening wow and resizing/placing windows?

I doubt it since logging in doesn't really give you any advantages lol

Most of those things are already done legitly, just not by a single button, but I personally assume(keyword there) that there's nothing wrong with it since it's just running wow and logging in, no possible gain from that

I spit out my login and password in /say before but nobody was around, that's when I quit doing it. With my setup all I have to do is type in my password one time anyway.

just to add to the "one time I spammed my login/pw" anecdotes.... me too, and that was the last time I used the lazy-login approach.

I have keyclone set up to start them all and enter the account names. It's not on a hotkey though, and I type the password in myself.

Since you're using HotkeyNet, you don't have to worry about the risk of accidentally spamming your account info in the game, because you can write the hotkey definition in a way that makes such a thing impossible.
