It isn't illegal, because Blizzard get more money per customer this way.

Multi-boxing is not against any rules, though while not officially supported. He won't be banned for doing it.

I can't remember which GM (Blizz employee) said this but he basically said that it's allowed because it takes most people alot of skill to play one character, nevermind 2 or 3 or 4 or 5. Or in some cases 10.
That and as long as you aren't automating any of your actions (1 keypush does 1 thing, not 1 keypush does 3 things, for example) then you are technically playing both characters. You also have to have a fairly wide knowledge base for Macro's too.
So that being said, it's totally legal. I was about to go out and buy another account (this would be my 5th) but I realized since I pre ordered Aion, I would just hang low with it until WoW grabs back in... because that's the way it will always be.

I once ran into an elemental orc shaman, when I was on my NE Druid. He was quad casting Lava burst crits.
I ran.

Just take some solace in the fact that you have much more of a life than he does.
Multiboxing doesn't equate to having no life! If anything, that person who has 5-accounts up and running at the same is just bad with their money. Adversely, people use WoW as a hobby so maybe that's just adding to their hobby . I use dual-boxing for leveling up alts every once in a blue moon... but I still hold a full-time job, and girlfriend and have friends (I know... right?).

Yea its allowed blizzard is makeing 5x the amount of money off of that guy then most other people in the game. And yes 5 shammons casting lave burst will one hit you but most of the time people see someone duelboxing they just run away becouse they know they will die and the person duel boxing isent really helping the bg a ton (Think about it, 5 people protecting 1 av base, thats leaves 10 people for 4 other bases.) So while duel boxing people are anoying it's not illegal and its kinda cool to watch if their one your team (and not messing up your bg's or w/e

It is legal, multi boxing does requires skills to be used probarly, also it is not all advantages, imagine getting CC and feared, switching btw accounts to try to stay alive. That gotta be alot of stressful and staying alive is kinda uber.
As far as one of the poster said, it is not allowed to automatic all char you hold in multiboxing. Meaning running 4 as a bot who mirrors the one person, the way they do it is through macroing certains commands so it is still controlled by the person.
