Window Organizer Wow Open Box

Hello.
I have multiple characters in the game
i don’t have multiple screens monitor…
And some times i enter at the same time… for check ah, leveling dungeon etc. this sounds fun to me.

I also watch and twitch broadcasting and manage desktop windows - sometimes I need to see thems.
Windows mode didn’t look good. and not organized
Also windowed mode with the top border with title…
I was until now do so with out the aid of any software.

I came across some software called “Wow Open Box” which helps with window management.
And I watched your videos. looks like pretty good;
i like it very much.

The software claims to comply with the new rules …

But that applies to any kind of Windows game or app, including browser games.
(Not For Only Wow)

Does not do any broadcasting or sending input to game clients, it only manages where windows and resizing. and it organizes your windows and lets you use to switch between them.

And as you know, doing this has costs.
more importantly while doing it playability - display and optimization.
I appreciate the development of developer and blizzard…
and yet it would be good for me to organize it that way.

The software is completely open source, after review you can tell it isn’t doing any broadcasting, it doesn’t hook or intercept the game process in any way.

Many people said that they have used them before and they are satisfied…

But I am here for guidance.

And I’ve seen some blue post posts on the forum .
Custumer Support Message : Based on what you say it doesn't sound like it does anything against policy..

I before reached out to game master’s who said to post here for developer visibility…and i am here to get clear information

I have read the EULA:
constantly updated and
not clearly understandable.
Ultimately impossible to play any game without using any without software…E.g Direct-X -Chrome - Fraps - Discord or Windows Optimizer Apps Etc or Performance and Display optimizers…

And also that software applies to any kind of Windows game or app, including browser games.
Not just for a game, any…

And…
As far as I understand (this software) :
“it doesn’t provide an advantage or automate it”

i will use for window organization. Including any other windows (or twitch window) when I wanted to see that are on my desktop while i playing games.
After resizing : I can close program ;.
because until i restart; it stays there. (as it was said)
So ; I can use this way the software?

If i start using it and it is later decided that it is not allowed; Will there be a warning for me?before any sanction…

I cant post the links here due to forum post rules
But wanter can be found easily via google.
If can’t find .
If one of the developers can get back to me I can share the links.

I can get the last ticket…

Blizzard never confirm if a program is allowed to be used, or not. The closest they have ever commented is:
“If you have to ask, perhaps you shouldn’t be using it”

And yes, they can, and often do, sanction people without a warning.

Quoting for truth.

Trovlak is 100% correct here. Blizzard will not support, condone or otherwise approve a 3rd party program.

Im afraid the only advice I can give is invest in a second monitor or deal with Windowed mode.

An issue that needs to be clarified.

There doesn’t seem to be anything against the rules here.
It’s our own “windows 10” after all.
We should be able place the windows however we want.
And it’s not just for gaming:
It can also be to location other apps that will appear while in playing game.
If It would be great if there was such a feature in the game itself. Resizing, position fixation and stay-on-top feature.
After all, it is a game that supports playing with multi characters and should be developed.And i still appreciate a Blizz develooper.

If you read the open issue, i not seeking blessing i asking about guidance on principles

Never confirmed???
I guess you didn’t see this :

Vrakthris
Custumer Support Vrakthris Said Before : Based on what you say it doesn’t sound like it does anything against policy…

As you said if so A separate monitor is then required for each application.
twitch panel , game , other etc. …
luckily there is this.
otherwise you would need 4-5 monitors ^

maybe an answer or thought like this is enough…
And yes i’m wondering too want to know the current policy.
Where else can people learn?
i said already sent a ticket. and i was directed here.

Now :
Let’s take a look at your opinions:
As you say then :
So if People going to do everything without software; E.g : Do have to shoot with a phone to record a video? so i for video recording; do i have to record it by phone ? :smiley: (if everything will be software free)
this is something like video recording: just organize windows…

What kind of thinking is this? (everything must be done by manual . (joke : computer mouse included? because because it automatically rgb lights with software. etc. )
How else can people learn? (if already redirected here.)
Who else will can say?
what, is there no one in the whole Colossal Blizzard Custumer Support Team who can explain this…
did you mean this?
because it has been answered before. Where else can one learn?

This is not a 3rd tool;
It applies to all windows applications. works for all. universal.
Just like other Windows Apps.

If can’t be not confirm ; the question is :
Is there anything against the policy here?
(set windows then close app.)

Now a response like this is sufficient (according to the new policy).

The full quote of US CS rep Vrakthris is this:

Which states, that “there isn’t any way that we can give approval for using any particular program.” and “we didn’t create the program nor have any insight into everything it may or may not do.”

In short, it’s the exact same position as post 2 by Trovlak above.

You will not find an approval on the forums or GM’s through tickets and it’s meaningless to ask this.

Open source softwares can be seen by all developers and people (it is clear have any into everything it may or may not do).
The softtware exactly as said and told ; anyone can review. so it’s open source… Because not all software will do something Blizzard doesn’t want you to do. Can be legal.

If developers, GMs or community administrators can’t answer, who else can? so why not really saying anything…
Sorry. Maybe the question should be.

Why can’t people be given clear explanations about policies? even on a simple matter can not be answered. Why is not clear. Is it necessary to create a mystery? maybe that’s the question and problem that needs to be asked. this is causing confusion

They literally let peoples find other ways or to with their own logic …

I am sorry ; I didn’t want to be arrogant.
i was asking about guidance on principles…
but for some reason I got the feeling that it was getting an automatic response.

But I’m just more now Disoriented.
I didn’t last ask for confirmation. Actually that’s exactly i was asked:
I said If can’t be not confirm ; the question is .
It fully follows the EULA and policies.Regarding the warning, is it possible to get clarification on the blizz post? who can explain
Can we evaluate ourselves as we understand?

The EULA is clear and unambiguous. is not it ?
For example : The rules state “don’t use input broadcasting software” so?. Etc. If they not was, there would be no real need to state such.

And this was my last question :
Is there anything against the policy here? (set windows then close app.)
this much.

Yes, but also :

Vrakthris
: … Based on what you say it doesn’t sound like it does anything against policy…

this too has been said.
I wanted to ask if this is still valid. (Policies always change).
because that’s enough for me. current status

Rules :
Don’t use input broadcasting software.
Don’t to automate or streamline to gain an advantage over other players.
End .
Otherwise, we play with as many windows as you want is not it?
Just enaught don’t do anything that violates the EULA with any of them.

Because there is nothing against the rules.
and i after set (organize my windows ) i will close it…so it won’t stay open…

I will wait answer my ticket.
if nothing is against the rules and if no one can answer.
I will test it myself. but if it’s wrong. it’s not peoples fault.
because I already asked. I tried every way…

I guess I won’t find an answer here …
Finally I will try to reach @WarcraftDevs on twitter
Thank you.

You can’t be told if a certain program is against the rules or not. If the ONLY single thing it does is resize windows you should be ok, but if it does other things then do not use it. That includes swapping between windows for you, even if you don’t use that function.

edit: I just looked at the website description and it breaks the rules on automation.

Yes that’s exactly it. does nothing else…
It has 2 sites. I think you have entered a different site.don’t get confused : There are multiple versions .Round Robin feature is optional . and it is a different version for many game.
But i will just use resize windows version…it does nothing else
I can close it after resizing.

11

Even if you do not use the other features the main program will still be active and could get you banned. Blizzard may not require the RR part to be loaded to ban you. They will not answer you saying what you can and can’t use.

12

no dude. two different software. diffrent exe.
One : -vX.YZ.exe ( does not contain different features=
diffrent :_RR (for many games)
The xy version does not inculude what the other contains.
so set window then close.

13

Then use it at your own risk, I have given my advice, don’t come back complaining when they ban you.

14

I guess you don’t understand. There are multiple versions for many game. normal version it does not contain rr_part. different exe . So completely different ; it’s ok?
So first version : YZ.exe (this normal)
RR Version Diffrent : RR.exe
This Way
Picture:
https://www.linkpicture.com/q/DE394108-0410-4F9A-B0E7-4D7684C96A88.png

Different software… For many games diffrent version.
So there’s nothing but what your first said.

If the ONLY single thing it does is resize windows you should be ok

and after setting i will close it.

15

It’s your account so it’s your choice, personally I wouldn’t use that, I would manually set the window size.

16

I’m still not sure you fully understand.
you are contradicting yourself.
nothing different from what he said.
and normal version does not include rr. clearly

  • The program will continue to be active.
    No, no : i will set window ;then close.
    (Manually set the window)I wish but; I already do this not just for the game. It really needs to be optimized. I wish it was in the game.
    I need to do it for other windows that will appear while in game.

I already wrote to @WarcraftDevs.
waiting for reply. Thank you

17

I give up.

It’s not the extra stuff that may get you the ban but using the program EVEN THE BASIC PROGRAM, and yes I got the wrong idea to start with, I thought it was just a single program not modular.

I totally agree and I think this is exactly what is missing.

Why can’t people be given clear explanations about policies? even on a simple matter can not be answered. Why is not clear. Is it necessary to create a mystery? maybe that’s the question and problem that needs to be asked. this is causing confusion

They literally let peoples find other ways or to with their to solve own logic …

I predict, that in a few weeks time, Burkre will be back on another channel, complaining about an “unfair ban” lol.

We shall see.
