i was told by wow that multi-boxing is ok with them....well i disaggree.......to let one player run around and kill everyone may be fun for him ...but not for everyone else....its cheating.....its kind of like that south park episode where the guy goes around killing everyone cause he can..it makes the game no fun.... you go into arctic valley for honor and he is stealing all the honor and that not fair.
so fine if wow is going to allow this ...then im not going to play anymore...when my prepaid account is up i will stop playing wow as will my son wow loses 30.00 a month and i hope others do the same...maybe then wow will fix it...but for me and my family it will be to late we will just have to find some other game to play...

I'm sorry that you feel that way, and if multi-boxing is truly the reason that you are opting to leave World of Warcraft, then please state that as the case when you cancel your account. I do hope that you'll consider reading some of the responses we've provided regarding multi-boxing in the past. Perhaps a review of these threads and the discussions therein will help you to reconsider your decision:

Q u o t e:
I agree with the OP in that it shouldn't be allowed. If you press a button when using a bot program then it will automate things for you. Pressing one button with a multiboxing program automates keystrokes. So what would normally take five presses on five different keyboards actually takes one press on one keyboard.

But if people were paying me 50+ bucks a month to multibox (bot) then I'd allow it too.


Okky, we've had this discussion many times in the past, and this kind of post is completely unnecessary. Please refrain from further knocking about of hornet's nests you know to exist.
