    Years ago you used to see a character, say a warrior with 4 shaman alts following behind and when the warrior attacked the 4 Shaman would all cast Chain Lightning at the same time against whatever the warrior was attacking. All the Shaman casted at exactly the same moment at the target. This is what Blizzard is fighting against. If you want to tab between 4 shaman and cast chain lighting one at a time, then more power to you that's totally legal. I've also seen this with people farming herb and mining nodes since the days when multiple people can tag the same node before it goes away.

      That's actually not what they were fighting. MB was the most popular form of botting by Chinese gold farmers. They never cared about the guy with a ton of money running around one-shotting people in PVP because they were MB a whole raid.

    I am currently and still Multiboxing with 10 Chars in WoW Classic WOTLK and with 8 Chars in WoW retail DF. I get flamed, harrased and insulted every other day because many still think or believe Multriboxing is "banned". I have the Blizzard policy site/url on my shortcut now to copy&paste. Sometimes it helps and I get a quality conversation out of this :) Some people igore me immediately but that's the way it is. What I don't like is the misuse or abuse and of the reporting system to call other players or guild members to report me. These people should get suspensions because of harassing but that's just my POV.

    i had a 5 druid team and manually switched each screen and each action button to play fully legit,no software whatsoever and i got banned for 6 months as Blizz states i was botting, wich i was not at all!
    when i appealed later the real reason of the ban was shown....it wasn't about software botting or whatever...i was banned by "reported by another player"!
    How can Blizz just believe another player who reports me? on what evidence?
    Thats was the moment i stopped playing as the game is dead to me, i played a 100% manually and got banned cause some jalous turd reports me,seriously....

    Used to play 2v2 arenas with my Multibox for fun to challenge myself to push as high as I could by myself.
    Also enjoyed pushing mythic+ keys in a 5man box, and attempting normal raids in 10man box.
    Also just loved using the multibox to level faster, and then gear up faster.
    Que'ing up LFR's & WBosses with a stack of same class and trading everything to the main until I'd start dripping it down to 2nd, 3rd, etc.
    Was also hilarious seeing myself occupying top 5 dps in LFR, no clue how others were placing below me, when I have to play around mechanics on 8 seperate characters simultaneously...
    Also made gold making a lot more fun, when I could be looting 10x Herbs / Ores / Cloth at once, would always have Herb/Mining and 1x Skinner every time I levelled to max level.
    Then I'd swap out the Non-druids to other professions to begin crafting with an infinite supply of mats :')
    Had 130 Lv120's in BFA from Mboxing...
    Now Idk what to do in WoW, playing single acc feels so boring, and the game feels like torture when I have to play like a sweaty no-lifer on my Main, and just know that even then I still have 4 more characters I need to Gear up.
    And even then, I have another 4 characters beyond that I want to play, but the time investment just to BiS gear + Rep grind on a single acc is already too much...

    Multiboxing is amazing for productivity. I've noticed a huge increase in the ability to farm up mounts and other cosmetic things during a new patch when every time you kill the rare that drops the thing you want you have two chances at it. There's so much to do in this game getting the grinds out of the way just lets me have more time to do other stuff. Also, there are other things out there that you typically need multiple people for and being able to do them by myself is of great convenience. I'm not anti social or anything and for bigger achievements I have many friends I can call on to help with them but when its 2 am and I'm bored and there's something I need help with it's nice being able to just do it myself.

    I Multiboxed 10 UH DKs and 4 Resto Shammy’s during the BFA EXPAC. It was soooooo much fun because I loved doing WPVP.
    I never did BGs or even rated stuff. I just enjoyed the casual open world stuff and gathering resources from time to time. I even came out in 1 of Swiftys videos when he was streaming and didnt even realized it till a friend told me about lol.
    I took a break due to work and months later when I was ready to come back I heard Blizzard was working on making it harder for us to play so I waited and then it came to pass so I quit and have not played in years.
    After Multiboxing the game is just not the same. Is like an adrenaline junkie once you got a taste everything else is just bland and boring.

    I have a question, and I know this is a bit of a grey area.. What do you think about KVM switches? There was always a debate about software vs KVM in multiboxing and software was always frowned upon but always "legal". Now that they are making a push for "software bad", does that mean KVM is back on the menu? Or do you think they won't make that distinction at all?
    I know, a bit of a complicated question that you probably won't know the answer to. And Blizzard, being Blizzard, will most likely not give an answer on it. Either way, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

    This is one of those many things that I'll never ever understand about the world I live in. Why was multiboxing ever ok to begin with?
    So, If you use software to fish automatically, that's the #1 textbook case of a 6-month ban. However, it has been ok for years to use software to play 8 druids at the price of 1, hyper-farming and flooding the herb/ore market. And they feel the need to amend the EULA to say it will no longer be ok, thus sanctioning that, until now, it was in fact ok. It makes no sense to me.

      @@ryoriotwow Which some people consider cheating.
      Personally I disagree, but you're dealing with a large population. At least one person is going to not like quite literally every single thing you do or don't do. Note: as far as I can tell if you use alt-tabbing, or multiple virtual or even physical devices with SEPERATE input devices, rather than mirroring a single device? It should still be above board.

      ​@@Tome_Wyrm Generally trying to please every single moron and crook out there is just silly. It isn't cheating, whoever considers it as such is just stupid.

      @@Moozerty Why do you hate people that want to bypass the character limit, or want to have their own guild without involving strangers, or to solo dungeons at level as a challenge, or like RP-ing with multiple characters at the same time? I could go on too. There's lots of perfectly legit uses for multiple accounts.
