Re: So Blizzard is killing Multiboxing in WoW

so would it be safe to say that this will also apply for keyboards that send keystrokes like Logitech, razer when you have it as a spam macro?

Unlikely. First, it would be tough to detect such things in action. It's one thing to have a watchdog program scan the Task List once a minute for bad things and much harder to continuously scan for commands arriving too fast to have been typed by hand. Maybe it's network traffic bunching stuff up? It would be far easier to detect a Logitech or Razer peripheral and then refuse to launch the game. Which ain't gonna happen.

Bottom line: Blizzard is trying to shutdown the extreme multi-boxers impacting the play environment (especially combat and gathering) and not nigh undetectable keyboard macros.

The way I have it set up in-game i created a macro assigned a Keybind then using Logitech i have it spam that key endlessly until I toggle it off. The same can be done with Razer. It's a Macro that will spam the same key.

yes, it is a temporary fix until Lax gets any cease letter from Blizz. In the end, if Blizz doesn't like any software that is harming their game they should send Cease and desist letter. I'm not trying to start anything but that how they got rid of Honorbuddy (the actual bots that ruined the game)

You guys are talking about literally automation, that is bannable, it's in the same category as botting.

If Logitech gives 1 keypress = more than 1 action, yes ofc
