A message concerns multiboxers. They are no longer allowed to be active in World of Warcraft in battlegrounds and arenas.
For some players, multiboxers are the fulfillment in MMORPGs, others hate them like the plague: multiboxers. They are particularly prevalent in World of Warcraft, where they can dominate battlegrounds and arenas. But that seems to have come to an end. Multiboxing is apparently now prohibited in PvP areas (battlegrounds and arenas).
We have also had experiences with multiboxers – twelve death grips to the face.
What are multiboxers? Multiboxers play a game multiple times simultaneously. Often, they have several PCs for this purpose, pay for multiple accounts monthly, and control many characters in parallel using macros. This is why you often see five or ten players of the same class coming at you and dismantling with the push of a single button.
Where does the ban come from? On Reddit, a user named Malseph posted a screenshot of a conversation with a Blizzard employee. It is a response he received to a ticket. The GameMaster introduces himself as a “Supervisor,” one of the heads of the GameMasters. He wants to explain the exact details of the ban in a phone call, but he should keep out of “arenas and battlegrounds” as a multiboxer. “That is very important.”
Why is Blizzard banning multiboxing in PvP? There is no exact justification yet for the prohibition of multiboxing in PvP. This change is surprising because, over the past ten years, multiboxing has been tolerated as long as the player manually inputs all commands and no bots are in the game.
Please consider that this information could also be a well-crafted fake. However, it currently looks like an actual GM response.
What do you think of Blizzard’s approach? Is it good that multiboxing is banned from PvP? Or should it also be banned in PvE or in general?
Blizzard had previously already disabled /follow in PvP – that was aimed at multiboxers.
