They should have a series of epic 5 dungeon 5 player dungeons with a great story line end with a solo ‘battle your ghost’ to a jumping puzzle leading to the finale of a NPC polymock battle. That is the equivalent of what was done in FnF.
I added other responses from previous answers. And I stated what definitions of what multiboxing, and automation.
No, this is the stance on multi-boxing:

Umm, maybe the edit happened after you read your reference. The above link explicitly states:
“EDIT: This post has been quoted, and it is inaccurate. ArenaNet does not prohibit Multi- or Dual-Boxing as along as the player is active on each account and is not botting or using other third-party programs to “play” the account.”
Multi-boxing is ‘legal’. Botting, either with one or multiple accounts is not.

Gaile already said gaming keyboard software is NOT the reason they ban people. If you bind one key stroke to cast 5 skills, then its not allowed.
No she didn’t she skipped saying the keyboard software is ok. She only said the hardware wasn’t a problem and using the keyboard with your GW2 options to set a single key to a single action was ok. Nao was told that “Macros are prohibited, even if you didn’t use it”. ANet says that any software that could be used to gain an advantage is grounds for banning, not the use of the software just the existence of it.
For example, the CH Products Control Manager lets you set up a MFP/joysticks/keyboards either as a simple 1 press = 1 key or with very complex macros. Until she states that just having the program is ok, I’m not playing GW2 on my computer that has my MFP on it (that I still use to play GW1 occasionally). Since by ANet definition the Control Manager is a 3rd party program that would let me gain an advantage over other people since I could make a single button activate two or more skills.
Gaile could make an explicit statement saying that having the drivers/config software on your system for advanced keyboards and mice is not a problem and they won’t ban anybody for just having it installed and running. Such transparency would be nice. Until then, the software is a no-no by their own words.
They’ve already stated that any macro use at all and even having any software installed that enables macros is a violation and potential permanent ban. Given that they are banning everybody and their uncle lately, including innocent people (which is shown by the number of ‘macro/bot users’ they have reinstated), why even tempt their ‘bot ban net’?
If you use a gaming keyboard and/or mouse even without violating their rules and ANet finds out and the best case is you get locked out of your account for 3-5 days, the worse case you end up with some cowboy GM trying to make an example out of you for being a potential cheater.
Remember we all agreed that they don’t need a reason to ban you from your account. So they don’t have to justify why they ban you. They are manually checking on all these bans after the fact lately only because it makes good business sense, not because they are obligated to do so.
So if you want to be ‘more safe’, get a generic keyboard and mouse and keep any sort of macro software off your box.
