Multiboxing, as in playing more than one account at the same time, is allowed, but using any software not expressly authorized by Blizzard to automate (or anything) gameplay is not.

I can’t understand why you think you have a case when the EULA is very clear and easy to understand. You are using software not expressively authorized by Blizzard to change and facilitate gameplay in a pretty extreme way.
Thats a poor interpretation of the rule actually kor kron. Any software that automates a players inputs is specifically against their rule set.
If you press a key on a keyboard and it is then sent to multiple windows that is not deemed automation because without the player pressing the key nothing would happen.
So when bots run pathing scirpts and automated skin plus loot scripts they are breaking the rules.
To be clear using HKN or ISboxer or AHK is perfectly acceptable to the people running this game.
…i mean they are mental for allowing it but allow it they have. Their Risk Assessment is so poor its actually laughable but their product legacy has been so strong it’s carried the business through multiple disasters not least the 50% drop in share price they had to endure.

It was not an interpretation… It was a quote:

The software OP are using is not expressly authorized by Blizzard and it facilitates gameplay and functionality. So it’s against EULA and Blizzard can ban that account if they want to.
Multiboxing is specifically allowed but using software to facilitate multiboxing is not allowed unless expressively authorized.
Now you may think that this means that basically all software and macros etc you run along side the game is not allowed, and that would be a correct. If you use ANY software or macro outside the game to facilitate gameplay or functionality you are breaking EULA and if you do things Blizzard don’t like with this software or macros they can ban you for breaking the EULA.
AHK, ISBoxer and HNK are not banned. End of story.
You’re interpretation of ‘facilitating gameplay’ is not in line with the rule set on botting it really is that simple. Its a bit embarrassing you quote me an intentionally vague part of the eula talking about ‘facilitating gameplay’ like it’s a smoking gun bro.
Mapping keys to output to 10 different windows using 3rd party software is perfectly withing eula as long a person is on the other end is pressing a key to execute a macro or bind, the fact he presses jump on one character and 9 others jump is not considered to be against eula or tos.
Yes that is ridiculous but also a fact.

Can you classic people stop saying your gonna sue blizzard
It’s like when kids say ‘‘imma ddos you’’ to situations when they dont even know what it is
^ You’d just hear this in court, the terms of service you accept to play wow says so
The link you provided says that multiboxing is not against tos. It does not say that isboxer or w/e 3rd parry program is not against tos
Where do you live that private companies make their own laws?
Seriously it’s getting embarrassing now. Tos is not legally binding and has been over ruled by courts repeatedly. Anyone thinking that a company can take £50 from someone, ban them and then ignore them and say the tos said we can do what we like at all times is straight tripping.
This is before we get into other legal discourse like reporting them to law makers for theft and other things.
Honestly though stop pretending we live in a world where a company can hold up a piece of paper that states even if they are wrong you cant touch them. Thats not how the UK works at least

ToS is like blizzards contract of what you sign onto if you want to play their game
Theres a reason blizzard hasn’t been sued yet when threads like these pop up daily with people ‘‘suing’’ blizzard
And contracts between private companies and vendors or end users are subject to the law not the other way around.
As in. They cant make the law up in a tos.

Is spotify? What about discord?
Spotify doesn’t changes and/or facilitates the gameplay or other functionality.
Discord and other voice chat and social media is expressively authorized. The overlay function is not expressively authorized though as far as I know. We should be safe as long as it’s not used in bad ways.
As far as you know? But surely its expressly says somewhere about discord.
Show me the approved list of programs bro.
Jammalz would not be proud bodi.
Who are you arguing with? I have shared facts and quotes of the EULA.
Unless the software you are using that changes and/or facilitates the gameplay or other functionality is not expressivly authorized by Blizzars it’s against the EULA.
The keywords here are:
Facilitates
Changes
That’s the point. There isn’t one. Everything you use that isn’t the game itself can be used as an excuse to ban you. Every single ToS of every single company is extremely one sided and gives very little protection to the customer while letting the company do basically whatever it wants. I’m not saying Blizzard is in the right for banning him as there are hundereds if not thousands of players that are using the exact same programms with 0 issues but suing over this will be a waste of time and money in 99.9% of cases.
Well lets be clear im not arguing. As i stated in the first post to you though your interpretation of what facilitates gameplay is not in line with blizzards.
The fact that your atill here 5 posts later is worrying considering the eula also states multiboxing to be legal. Exactly how do you plan on multiboxing with no software bro?
No it doesn’t. And if it did, that doesn’t allow software to facilitate gameplay while multiboxing.
