Multi- Boxing, seeing more every day :(

Many of these multi-boxers are using shared action protocol scripts, and to me thats the same as a bot program. Is this rly how blizzard intended the game to be played?

Today i saw a guy controlling 5 shamans with variations of the same name, and the actions of all 5 were exactly the same, movement, casting/attack, u name it.

If u rly think controlling 10 chars with 1 click isnt cheating, then i guess there should be nothing wrong with anything ppl do to the game. Honorbots, Levelbots, and Farmbots galore, with large executable mods that allow computers to play the game. In fact, lets get ride of all gaming restrictions to allow things like hacking and account selling/buying, and see what happens :(

Multi-boxing is not in violation of our current policies, Varlex. You're welcome to voice your opinions on the Suggestions Forum if you feel that this multi-boxing should be considered a violation of our policies.

Unlike the forms of botting you mentioned, multi-boxing requires user input and does not automate any aspect of gameplay. Each time an action is performed it is controlled by a real player sitting at their computer controlling multiple accounts.

Good luck!
