SamadanTSMYouTubeTwitchMultiboxing ChangesBlizzard's Policy Regarding Input Broadcasting Software

Blizzard

As World of Warcraft has evolved, our policies have also evolved to support the health of the game and the needs of the players. We’ve examined the use of third-party input broadcasting software, which allows a single keystroke or action to be automatically mirrored to multiple game clients, and we've seen an increasingly negative impact to the game as this software is used to support botting and automated gameplay. The use of input broadcasting software that mirrors keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients will soon be considered an actionable offense. We believe this policy is in the best interests of the game and the community.

We will soon begin issuing warnings to all players who are detected using input broadcasting software to mirror commands to multiple accounts at the same time (often used for multi-boxing). With these warnings, we intend to notify players that they should not use this software while playing World of Warcraft. Soon thereafter, the warnings will escalate to account actions, which can include suspension and, if necessary, permanent closure of the player's World of Warcraft account(s). We strongly advise you to cease using this type of software immediately to maintain uninterrupted access to World of Warcraft.

Thank you for your understanding.

Common Problems

Is multiboxing allowed?
I want to report a player for multiboxing

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23558957/policy-update-for-input-broadcasting-softwareSo I can still have two accounts (one to scan AH and one to play).. I just can't herb with a party of 5 on a single keyboard.

No complaints about thisSame here, past 4+ years I've had 5-15 accounts active and I've very rarely done any kind of multiboxing. Farming is just not my thing since I'm lazy af and the most I've done was leveling 5x toons at once during expansion launches (during legion and bfa)

Most other times the accounts are merely sitting in the AH and used for daily cooldowns.

Will be sad to not be able to use CKS for things like shuffles though :( Also as a crafter, it will be sad to see prices of materials rise, but at the same time hopefully wowtoken prices drop now due to less demand for them so it will be easier to maintain the 5 accounts now.It will be interesting to see how this plays out in terms of the in-game economy.

No more multi-box farmers, will lead to higher material costs for crafters that buy mats off the AH.

I can't say it's a bad move on Blizzard's part. But you can expect the price / value of crafted goods to go up.Firstly, I agree it hurts those that set up multiboxing at all lost that investment which is a bit unfair (just got done leveling 7 druids for shadowlands) however I agree with this change 100%.

Quality of life changes made for the general population has made multiboxing exceptionally powerful. Between dynamic respawns/ multiple gathers off one node/ individual loot/and being able to pay for your sub with gold the inherent power of multiboxing has exploded in the past 4 years.

Someone with 8 accounts 4x2 farming is clearing .5-1 token an hour in profit. After a week of playing 1-2 hours a day the rest of the farm is pure (8x) the profit over any player playing 1 account doing the same farm in a group of 8 players (note this excludes time to find a group etc).

Ultimately if you want to make gold efficiently without playing the AH game you need to multibox currently. They either need to reverse/IP restrict the QoL improvements noted above or nerf multiboxing; they chose the lesser of the evils IMO.

Supply of herbs and ore is likely to be less and prices therefore higher, so more people will be drawn to farm them individually.

Prices of the resulting consumables are likely to rise.

The resulting rise in prices for everything will see more people seeking ways to make gold, including buying it with Tokens.

Token price may well go down.

More people may be drawn to make gold due to the rise in prices and a new equilibrium will be found.

Game changes and you just gotta adjust to it. Much more easy to keep AH prices under control and isolate people getting those cheap mats(I guess its still little realm dependent). My thoughts are that it wont completely kill using multiple accounts at open world, heck someone even might to go gathering with few toons just to save time even its not that efficient anymore. Time is most precious thing to many people, personally to me it exceeds goldmaking many times. Anyway im happy that 'regular' players are getting their enthusiasm to farming back.

Bots. I hate bots. Too bad they arent using program like isboxer so we will see what happens to them over time.

There is one thing im amazed though, to see how malice people are to others when this kind of announcement goes live. It shows true amount of toxicity in community/playerbase. There is big difference being happy for someone else's loss instead of being happy how your own gaming might just got better.

Happy goldmaking to all of you fellow goblins, equally.Profession Opportunities Through Speed LevellingDesMephisto helping people with Speed Levelling@CmdrBondWoW

Relic of the PastexactlyDeciding What to CraftWTBGold3 Million Goblin Success Storyu/jonny_depth

It’s taken me a long time but prepatch has definitely helped with the last boost. Since prepatch but, I’ve gone up over a million gold and I haven’t done anything besides professions.

This is my current layout: Paladin- blacksmith/enchanter (Main) Druid- inscription/alchemy Shaman- leatherworker/tailor Mage- alchemy/jewelcrafting DH- skinning/mining (I never play this char)

Since the launch of prepatch I have sold thousands of deep sea bags for anywhere between 50-300g profit. I sell maybe 40 a day if I’m lazy.
I’ve sold uncanny gear for all 5 professions - BS weapons and armor, leather/mail armor plus bows, cloth gear, inscription trinkets, jewelcrafting rings and staff.
I’ve done my daily anchors transmute on 4 chars a day for a few hundred profit.
I’ve done enchants as well as the new enchanting shuffle to sell veil crystals for a huge profit.
I’ve sold war scrolls of all kinds.
Last but not least.... TSL pants shuffle

Enchanting Shuffle : "Since they’re no more blue procs on bracers you use expulsom to make cheap epics with inscription or tailoring to DE and then use those veils for enchants or sell raw materials. It’s a lot more utilized now since 1 expulsom and a few gold in herbs will translate to 150-200 gold"

Bags : "I’ve had them fluctuate between 89g and 375g depending if someone resets them. DSS is 2g and TSL is around 1.5 so even at 89g there is still enough profit for me to spend 10 seconds making 10 bags"

Server : "High pop NA server. I usually post for 12 hours at 6 am when I get up before work and then when I get home everything that is expired I pop back on. On the weekends is when I see the most movement. Sometimes I see a 20g profit on a bag but I enjoy the idea of creating a solution for someone’s needs. Same as my real life business"

With the item squish, you can now buy Savage Gladiator's Gloves from Magistrix Lambriesse (H) or Arcanist Ivrenne (A) for less than 6g and they each D/E for a single Dream Shard.

You can do the same with Hateful Gladiator's Gloves from Magister Brasael (H) or Arcanist Adurin (A) to get Abyss Crystals at around 8g.

They are both in your faction's hub at Old Dalaran (Crystalsong Forest, WOTLK).
