WotLK Multiboxing as a real problem

[theborg9]

So in 30 mins you created 5 WoW accounts, learned how to use hotkeynet and searched for a premade profile, then went in to the game and set all the interface settings, addons, keybinds and macros up and all if that on 5 accounts.

More or less... yes. You can export keybinds, skills and addon settings very quickly so I didn't have to set them up anew.
Besides, hotkeynet is very immediate to use, you basically press ctrl+shift+L, ctrl+R, scrol-llock key (all iirc) and it will broadcast every key that has been programmed. Very straightforward.
Then you really need few macros to start with, just with /assist and follow you can do most of the stuff, so...

Great story bro ����

Thanks! As said, very simple and quick; surely not a science of any sort.

Nice story bro :)
Btw, I'm actually multiboxing for over 10 years now so I can tell that what you are saying is complete nonsense. Once again you throw fictional numbers in this thread and expect that ppl are stupid enough to believe you.
Even as a exprrienced ISboxer user you'll have a very hard time to make a new team in just 30 min ready for action.
There is no way that a person who is completely new to the subject can do that in such a short time.

IDK about ISboxer, that probably requires more time to setup, but with Hotkeynet (free software, btw) it's surely possible. Had I to write the actual script for Hotkeynet would have taken some actual time, but as a matter of fact you can get them premade for a number of toons (e.g. 2, 4, etc). Easy as f-.

Bringing a motorized go-kart to a soap box derby may or may not be allowed, but even if it was, it takes from the spirit of the race, makes you unpopular, and highlights an obvious lack of skill to compete evenly. It also creates excess pollution, and caters to people who have an undeserved, elevated sense of self.

This states it PERFECTLY.

The people who are vehemently against multiboxers being banned are the multiboxers themselves who don't want their precious paytowin taken from them. Fair fights are so not their thing.

they're no more unfair than a coordinated premade. you going to ask to have that banned as well?

Hello, heard about blizz's news as well. Hope warmane finally does something about it too. Since they did allow it at first because it was a thing on retail. Hopefully staff answers to this thread instead of the multiboxers being ... obnoxious. Cheers :)

Somebody being against banning multiboxing, especially when they say Warmane should follow blizzard's new policy, doesn't make them multiboxers at all.
Do you even know WHY blizzard did it, or if the reasons blizzard did it for, are something that would affect Warmane? No, no and no.
If Blizzard should drop WoW from their future plans, should Warmane cease existing too, as it wouldn't be "retail like" anymore?

1. Multiboxing was not banned on retail on WOTLK

2. Multiboxing is getting banned in retail because since Legion, several players can mine the same node or pick up the same flower. So m-boxers with 20 or 40 chars could mine 20 or 40 mines at once (or pick up 20 to 40 flowers at once), hence destroying the economy of the server and dropping the price of Blizzard's tokens (and making Blizz lose money). Warmane doesn't work like that so this problem is non-existent.

3. M-boxers cost Blizzard money and Warmane is not Blizzard.

4. Warmane has limited the m-boxing to max 25 chars.

Taken from Multiboxing now banned on retail

Nobody here is asking not to be able to open 2 or more windows, it's about input broadcasting. And more precisely input broadcasting in PvP.

Ah okay. So you don't even have an issue with multiboxing. Your crying is related to the "evil" input broadcasting softwares.

In this case I'll attach a single keyboard to multiple computers and one shot you w/o any additional software. :)

go ahead then. do that and give us the videos showing. not game videos tho, videos of you with all the hardware playing. better yet make a habit of streaming.

You should go on retail forum and tell people that you saved multiboxing, it wasn't banned and you figured out... JuST GeT 25 CoMpUtErS!!

Since when do I need 25 characters in order to one shot somebody?
4 ele shamis with lava burst is already enough.
I could actually do this right now since I have a computer, a laptop, plus the two computers of my room mates. :)
You haters would keep on crying even when no third-party software is involved.

[theborg9]

I could actually do this right now.

4 toons instead of 25 plus a multiboxer having to borrow PCs in order to play? I'm all for it, let's do this.

Could someone from the management of the server comment on this? Originally I wanted to support it financially, but if multibox is enabled in pvp and BG, I will not support this server.
