5 Normal Players Ganging up on 1 is "Not Fair"
A 5-Boxer Killing 1 is "Not Fair"
A Eye of the Storm is still a 15v15, not a 19v15

Those Massive WG Boxers Can't Attack Well, and When Defending, get beat Pretty Hard by Vehicle AOE.

I Don't See Many Advantages in terms of PvP. Just People who love to Whine on the Forums for the Sake of Whining

So what are all those multiboxers from retail gonna do now? Is it possible that we will see many of them move to Warmane? Since this is like only place that allows multiboxing from what I hear.

Additionally utilizing software to perform feats that you physically (and mentally) cannot achieve in a game is called cheating buddy. You are truly delusional if you believe otherwise. And stop talking as if multiboxing is something special that should be protected. It's basically a minority of people trying to justify cheating through the lack of a specific rule (that did not exist before because multiboxing was so incredibly rare that people did not even think about it). Lastly - welcome to our pitiful society mate! Where the good of the many precedes that of the few.

My argument still stands and I have not seen a single one of you spergs try to logically refute it. Instead it's only pathetic dismissal. So let me repeat yet again - can you physically control multiple characters (more than 2-3) without the help of automation software. Can you mentally control multiple characters (more than 2-3) without the help of automation software? If you answered yes - ding ding you're an *****. If you need software to do the job for you, then you are clearly cheating. The only reason this crap wasn't removed in the past is because almost nobody multiboxed even during the primetime of WoW so people didn't think much about it. As hardware and software has evolved over time and information become more accessible, the amount of multiboxers has increased to the point where you encounter them fairly often and the problems that come with multiboxers become apparent.

It is essentially a multiplier of the power of a person's character. Should anybody's character be 3x as powerful? How about 10x? Yes, they are generally stacked for aoe, but they also have the ability to spread out in different directions and in the hands of a knowledgeable player (consider doing aoes to break stealth targets, auto innervating the low mp boxes, mass dispels and so on) it should be nearly impossible to inflict harm on them without a similarly geared and significantly coordinated group. In most situations players are not prepared and coordinated enough to deal with a multiboxer and that is a multiboxer's advantage. Such advantage is unfair in PvP because just think about it? You see a multiboxer in AV or Wintergrasp and what do you do? Fight 10+ characters with 1? Rush with divine shield (get mass dispelled) and do a consecration? Or typhoon starfall as a boomy? When they kill you with 1-2 buttons? Or do you start typing in raid chat hoping you find enough people to come try to take the multiboxer down? Hope these people have the gear and somehow manage to coordinate a simultaneous attack on the multiboxer? Or try to disrupt him with cc? How many people would actually do this and succeed? Explain to me how is this fair. And do not bull**** me if you seriously argue against this. I have over 13 bis specs (pvp included) so your crap won't pass.

Yes, you can. By doing hardware broadcasting. Attacking a single keyboard to multiple computers.

[Cancerina]

Who buys multiple computers to multibox? Isn't that pay to win? Pay to multiply your character's power? How many regular players would buy several computers so they can multibox? And no mentally you cannot control multiple characters because you're only 1 person you're not multiple people. Best you would do is make the boxes copy your actions through macros and whatnot. Additionally the second point is not addressed. Don't say oh you just have to avoid the multiboxer and play objectives cuz he's only in 1 location. That eliminates a huge part of the game and one of the most fun aspects of it. People want to fight and kill each other in PvP. It's world of warcraft not world of avoid the multiboxer or world of coordinate a strategy to defeat a multiboxer.

So, if player#1 have better spec than player#2, faster mouse/keyboard, High-end build etc, which allows him to play with more fps, be faster, see further, is it pay to win for You too? Ridiculous.

According to multiboxers, I have mixed feelings here. They are annoying, from time to time, but surely not more than gankers, AH NPC killers, AH abusers (stacking 1 piece of material on AH) or bots (for example, 20 Wool Cloth is worth ~40g on horde ah for several days. Anytime new auction is set up with 20 wool cloths, its bought in no time and new auction is opened with price 40g/20 pieces. You can tell me that its just a normal guy paying attention, but if Im logging for few days, random hours, and everytime situation looks this same - lets be honest here, its bot, not player. I wonder how big part of AH is controlled by this ****).

The only situation I've really seen it as a problem is WG - I agree, everytime there are multiboxers one shotting everyone. So maybe just limit them in WG would be good enough action?

For now I'm just playing pvp, mostly BG (don't have time for more) and to be honest, for hundreds of BGs, I may seen few multiboxers.

"Who buys multiple computers to multibox?
Isn't that pay to win?
Pay to multiply your character's power?
How many regular players would buy several computers so they can multibox?"

We have a new definition of "pay to win" bois!
2020 the gift that keeps on giving!

Multiboxers are just a "group of people" with a brain capable of burning one target at the time (and spamming mass heal on themselves).
It is normal for many, unable to work together to burn down a "group of people" that focuses 1 by 1 player to complain because they cant do anything else.

Imagine if a Tauren or a Blood Elf runs in them and does mass stun/silence while others follow and pew pew, or a DK to tanks the initial damage and the focus of the "group" with AMS/IBF...
Many ways to handle multiboxing, you just need to stop complaining.
If you people worked 10% of the times you complain on "how to send multiboxers to nearest graveyard", no one would dare to multibox on this server. :D

First read this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
Next, put your focus on the thread being discussed. In case you've forgotten this is a thread about multiboxing not AH bots and wool cloths.
Last, maybe contribute to the discussion by sharing your encounters with multiboxers and whether they were positive or negative experiences?

What would be your definition of pay to win then, and what has 2020 given to you? Also have you ever heard of AoE? I'm surprised a DK forgot about that. Won't be surprised by a 20 box boomkin pressing starfall though. Also imagine not boxing hunters and shamans, what could flares, traps and magma totems do to deal with stealth targets so GL running into a multiboxer with a "brain". I also fail to understand how your DK tank is going to prevent the starfall/typhoon from hitting his teammates or why the multiboxer is even gonna bother attacking him? DK tank does about 2-3k dps he can't even kill a PvE geared character, not to mention most multiboxers have a lot of PvP gear. If you, Gnimo, worked 10% of the time on your argument then maybe no one would dare to engage you in a debate.

You never multiboxed in your life. Your view of multiboxing is straight up delusion you created in your head based on your lack of skill and knowledge and doesn't reflect reality.

Or typhoon starfall as a boomy?

No way that would work.

Unless.

Multiboxing is not banned on retail, I mbox 2/3 accounts.
The Software Broadcasting is banned, but not limited to VM /Hardware multiboxing (depends on Blizz's discretion) and/or any other source of "help" from 3rd party software/hardware even though Blizz didn't say anything specific to Hardware boxing (using KM switches etc).

But remains to be seen, I'll stilll multibox normally via alt+tab.

Also, hi everyone! :)

[Drunkuser]

Everyone hates multiboxing, and righfully so. The only exception are multiboxers themselves.

Banning it would make a huge favour to the 99,9% of the community.

[Goranham]

The fact that some people are making arguments like "well if you get this specific class or race to do this, while another of this specific class or race to do this, and coordinate with these other people, and..." against someone who's basically just smashing his keyboard on his forehead is telling me all I need to know.
