    I can recognize the skill it would take. When I can make the bot cure me, its called against terms. Kicking a fellow part member because a raid wiped and you can't secure hate on a normal expected pull when you have dreadwyrm gear is ridiculous.

    Nope. Once you can control the other character, without having to physically switch to and manually control that other character, it is no longer multi-boxing, it is botting.

    Not true. Most multi-boxers use a program that replicates their controls across multiple clients. This is why you almost always see multi-boxers as the same class (such as the infamous 5 ele shaman, or the 8 BLM we see on FFXIV). As you can assume, this falls into a somewhat grey territory as to whether or not it's allowed, but groups like Blizzard do allow it, because the player is still having to actively give the commands to the characters.
