Q u o t e:


please explain to me how it is physically possible for a single human being with 1 brain and 2 hands to control 4-5-6-7 characters without some kind of automation?

and also you have a policy on pvp servers where people cant make characters on apposing factions - why do you have this policy when people can legitimately bypass it, accoring to allowing multiboxing?

isnt't it down to the age old thing of money talks?

I think it's some kind of black magic or voodoo. I suspect there are many 10 armed people in the world who wear very large coats and live in their mums basement during the day. It's scary stuff.

But it's definately unfair!

Q u o t e:


If i want all 4 shammies to cast an earthshock I will press key 3, again I am intending to control all 4 by pressing that keystroke, none of them are working out what to do on their own, It's MY OWN MIND (no decision making software or anything like that) deciding all 4 should cast that spell.

thats the automation - 1 key controlling what 5 chars do - automation.
If you have 5 chars online at the same time you should be using 5 keyboards - if not, its automation.

No amount of complaining that you see it as automation changes the fact that the only thing controlling those characters are my hands.

If you just want to complain, this is not the thread. Your opinions are yours only, they are not valid, and not correct. They also cannot be enforced on others. Please do not make such blanket statements when the facts are laid out for you in a very polite manner on this thread, and by Blizzard themselves.

If you do not want to agree with that, then good luck bannin dem boxers!

with some way of getting 2,3,4,5 instances of WoW to recieve the same keystrokes, be it hardware or software. E.g: If i press the letter R on my keyboard, all 5 instances of WoW i'm running will recieve the letter R. Add do that a grasp of the in-game macro system and half a clue and you've got a recipie for multiboxing.

who are you to say my opinions are not valid or correct - a forum is here for people to express their opinions and therefore all opinions are valid.
I will be happy when they ban all multi-boxers because even the concept is something that ruins the game for genuine people.

you are no different to people who make their movement paths wit g-l-i-d-e-r

I have discovered the truth about multiboxers:

I demand Blizz do something about this!

changed slightly.


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/automation

1. the technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum.
2. a mechanical device, operated electronically, that functions automatically, without continuous input from an operator.
3. act or process of automating.
4. the state of being automated.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/automatic

- Acting or operating in a manner essentially independent of external influence or control: an automatic light switch; a budget deficit that triggered automatic spending cuts.
- Self-regulating: an automatic washing machine.
- Acting or done without volition or conscious control; involuntary: automatic shrinking of the pupils of the eyes in strong light. See Synonyms at spontaneous.
- Acting or done as if by machine; mechanical: an automatic reply to a familiar question.




My point is, I am actively controlling all 5 characters, be it with 1 keyboard or 5. If i want all 5 to do the same thing, I make all 5 do it, if i want 1 of them to do something, I make 1 of them do something.

Automation implies some sort of decision-making or control other than my own.

Sometimes there is logic and there is logic. Might want to think about that.

Outstanding arrogance and self-righteousness, well done.
Much like bots in general its poinless trying to talk to people like you.

No its just that I'm a bot, and only have set responsese to threads :(

Or you could stop calling me arrogant and read the thread and confirmation posts from the game Owners before telling us we are all wrong, cheaters, and destroying the game.

Oh the irony.

Whatever you say Dear.
Please read the thread before making more glaringly false accusations.

Hxxc your points are excellent, but have been made a hundred times here alreadty, some if in this thread. They will not read it or pay attention to it the first time, so the chances are they won't the second, to 1 millionth time, no matter how clear :( Its a bit of a waste of effort.

I think the point is that Blizz have explained the rules, these rules can be found in this thread and they are fine with multiboxing so long as those rules are adhered to. You have a different opinion and that is your right but if you want the rules changed then the suggestion forum is elsewhere.

Personally, I'm sick to death of all the moaning about multiboxing because it's pointless explaining to people who dislike it that Blizz are okay with it. All they see are specific benefits of boxing, seemingly forget/ignore the negatives and will reinforce their opinion regardless of what anyone says even though no rules are being broken and Blizzard are fine with it.

All this actually does is make more people aware of multiboxing which adds to the numbers. Somewhat ironic me thinks! :-)

Not allowed - causing a character to perform multiple actions with a single (or no) input from player

Allowed - causing multiple characters to perform a single action from a single input from the player

basically multi-boxing is allowed because it keeps to 1 action per character per input
