Yes. Many times.

They said banning it would "cause drama", but let's be honest, that's a terrible reason to allow something. Banning bots causes drama too. Their second reason is just as flawed. They claim they can't figure out the difference between a bank alt and 5 shamans ruining a battleground.
"But multiboxing is allowed on retail!"
Yeah, and you have to pay huge sums of money to accomplish that. It is much easier on free private servers.
tl;dr Multiboxing will continue to ruin battleground experiences and nothing will change anytime soon. They have made up their mind. Sorry.
Problem is that it doesn't only ruin battleground experiences.. There was a 30 man shaman Multiboxer on Isle of Quel'Danas. farming people earlier outside of Magister's Terrace.
There are constantly groups of Multiboxers abusing their unfair advantage to kill people. It's just flat out bullsh*t
