unless I see 100500 druids follow me after I gather a single herb, lets hope these changes are positive :slight_smile:

Multiboxing was already a gray zone, this is blizzard taking a stance on the subject. Speak with your wallet.

Those things have been around before software. So they donā€™t have to come up with hardwareā€¦ just dust it off really.

It affects Blizzards baseline IRL financial too. These multiboxers donā€™t pay a singler dollar/euro/pound to Blizzard and have it all funded by ill gotten cashed out gold that goes to game subs, ā€œbuyingā€ expansions, store mounts, etc. None of which Blizzard gets any profit of.

Blizzard are right to kick these trashy people to the curb, they pay Blizzard no IRL cash and ruin the game for everyone bar their self.

Well, not quite. They do get 20 euro for each token sold and bought by the multiboxers for gold. For each token they bought, someone had to pay 20 euros for.

Even if people come up with a hardware option the important thing is that duplicating input is not allowed. That means that if you report a druid chain gathering herbs blizz can easily see if all characters were doing the same actions and apply the appropriate penalty

Blizzard waited for the best time to do this. Itā€™s literally the least profitable time to multibox. They waited the whole expansion to eventually do this. It was problematic during entirety of BfA.

Great news overall!

tbhā€¦ iā€™d argue its more ā€œthe Bad guys have ruined it fore the goodā€ in your caseā€¦ the problem is thats everything in lifeā€¦ some will abuse anything and everything until it has to be stopped.

multiboxing While i agree in ur circumstances if true do not harm the community, but i think its wrong to realistically say what your doing is Worth the how much damage multiboxing is doing to the community.

you can multibox providing your Actively using abilities on every account manually. you cant multibox if ur using a 3rd party program to mimic Abilities on all your characters at onceā€¦

im a mixed team it sounds like u realistically couldnt do that (i dont know i dont multibox) but those rules seem pretty fair and against ā€œbottersā€ onnly realistically.

Yes people buy tokens, but hopefully that will die down with real server economy prices going to come about.

But the bigger change would be to ban boost sellers as well, as people who buy WoW tokens with cash often do so to pay for a boost to get the end of expansion mount or whatever.

One of the problems I have is that everyone is generalizing Multi-boxers with these druid trains/mass farmers. Most multi-boxers who do it for fun were quite vocal about those as well but now everyone is throwing them under the bus with them.

At least spare a thought about those gamers that had a different play style than you but did not impact the game negatively.
