so they probably got banned for them being automated alright good to know thanks
FYI. nobody has ever gotten ban for multi boxing. i'm not arguing. these are facts. i do not agree with it as blizz are idiots when it comes to muti boxing.
This is a very tricky topic to address, because there are quite a few different approaches to multiboxing out there and only some of them goes against our Terms of Use.
It is an issue if and when multiboxing automates gameplay, but as long as the player who is multiboxing is the legitimate account holder on all the involved accounts, and as long as all the characters being played are 100% under the player's control without any kind of automation involved, then we are okay with it.
Edit: Removing the air plane analogy, because looking at it in retrospect, I can see that it wasn't really very accurate. Please look to my next response for further clarification:
...what are you gonna do about multi-boxers Blizzard?
While I agree multiboxing is a problem - it is reasonably simple to fix with update to Warden. IMO, streamers with bunch of mindless drones working for them are much bigger issue in this respect. There is no way 'normal' player would come even close to them, even with multiboxing.
they will never ban multiboxing. instead of a person buying 1 unit a person buys 4 units. it's a win win for blizz.
blizzard banned befor for multiboxing they couldnt care less if you buy even 100 coppies they wont let you use outside 3rd party programs to gain advantage over other players

Or can I have a rebate, then ?
You want competition, fine, do a website and compare your e-peens, it's fine.
Ohhhh...c'mon. Would you people stuff it with this "Epeen" buzzword. Many fans of this genre enjoy competition, and there's no need to try and make people look silly for wanting such a dynamic in their ARPG.
I had to highlight Epeen and do google search. Funny word.
Keep getting disconnected? Major lag issues? Here are some things to do that might help..
Are you getting DC in other online games? When you do get DC are you getting DC everywhere? Can you still open browser and surf? Make sure to go see if you are. It most likely could be Bnet servers.
Close background applications
Click the Start
Type msconfig and click Ok.Click the Startup tab at the top.
Make a note of the items that have checkmarks next to them.
Select Disable all.
Go to the Services tab and check Hide all Microsoft services.
Make a note of the services that have checkmarks next to them.
Click Disable all.
Click Apply and Close.
Restart the computer when prompted.
Turn down the graphics to low. and display settings to the lowest. even turn the sound off.
First thing I would do if your having connection issues (DC every 5 or so minutes) Call your ISP (internet service provider) Tech support And simply ask them to check your line because you keep getting Disconnected. they will be more than happy to help you. Ask things like. "are they doing work in your neighborhood?" "is anyone else in the neighborhood having problems with connection issues?" They will check. Keep in mind mother nature to. If there is a bad storm somewhere that will cause issues to. You can even go as far as doing a trace route and a path ping if there is an issue with the trace route path ping test they can look into it. (you might have to ask for advance tech support as a regular tech might not understand what he is reading) If there is an issue with your line you might have to ask them to reroute your connection (this involves a dif router and a tech coming to set it up) and more $$$. It could be something simple as static in your line and you need static filters. (isp will provide them free)
For Trace route for NA servers...
go to start menu. Type in CMD hit enter then type this in. without the " ". "Tracert 12.129.209.68" for path ping type "Pathping 12.129.209.68"
To make a txt file of the tests. "tracert 12.129.209.68 > c:\tracert.txt" "Pathping 12.129.209.68 > c:\pathping.txt" they will go to C:
For EU servers "pathping 213.155.155.233 > c:\pathping.txt" "tracert 213.155.155.233 > c:\tracert.txt"
Also I would do a speed test. http://www.speedtest.net/ upload speed is important when gaming try and get yourself good internet speed.
Maybe do a little upgrade and get more ram.
Sometime it is best to let it work itself out. strange but...I say that because i did all this and more. And in the end I got the best Router My ISP has and the fastest connection they could give me. (but once i did that i was still getting DC every 5 minutes the same day i got it installed) I was supper pissed, so i stepped back for a minute played some offline games, watched movies for a day or 2 and BAM!! all was fine. I jumped in D3 and have never got DC again. So thats why i say i am not sure what the problem was or how it got fixed but it did. lol.
Errrrr never mind. I'm still having disconnect issues. It seemed to work for a little while, but now I'm experiencing the same problem with dc's every time I log on after about 5 minutes. =/
I was having this problem to, and the amount of money I spent trying to fix it was insane. 3 dif routers, 2 dif ISP, PC upgrades
In the end I am not sure what fixed it but I got a very VERY good router. And upd my connection speed to 60/20
If I were you I would do a speed test http://www.speedtest.net/ to see if you connection is going strong. I would even go as far as calling your ISP (internet service provider) and simply ask for them to check your line to see if there is a problem with your router. IMO 50% of the time it is the router.
Try this. (what OS are u using?) windows 7? (disable all background applications)

Fixed that for you. PS3 gets the boosted drops and Trading.
you can trade freely on console?
console has quite a bit of nifty features that pc doesnt. some of them really worth having, some of them kinda pointless
very interesting. in june I will be switching to PS4 console gaming instead of PC. (the idea of being able to be a couchpotato and being able to play D3 is very appealing)
