So Much Hate

[Poyzon]

Heh. I love 'looser' comments. So much win in those.

There's other boxers on Stormrage (US)? I run there as well (Horde and Alliance). Is there a guild?

There is at least one or two others that box 4+ on the alliance side. I have my own personal guild, I haven't heard of any MB-specific ones.

I saw an alliance pally + three or four shaman in Gadgetzan yesterday. Pretty cool.

Edit to add: there is at least one other horde multiboxer as well, now that I recall. I occasionally see his three or four troll shaman in Dalaran. Can't recall any of the names at the moment. >.<

Hello,

since 2008 I multiboxed on different servers and had very different reactions from my fellow players, ranging from "zomfg fggt gtfo WoW" up to "Wow, I want to multibox too"

My very first server for more than two years was EU-Darkspear (probably one of the worst, scum-infested ****holes on the whole server list, lol) where I started my first 5 shaman team.

I leveled around the Stormwind areas and got really negative feeback during the earlier levels. Many peope tough I was a chinafarmer, power leveler, botter and such. The few people who actually knew about multiboxing and crossed my path called me a "faggot, no-life, noob, rich kid, multicocksucker, cheater, chinese piece of ****, wannabe with 5 trial accounts" and so on.

In the beginning I tried to talk back to those people, but most of them simply logged off or ignored me as soon as I wrote back to them or when they ran out of arguments.

However, as I progressed beyond lvl 40, more and more people showed up who were impressed by my work and very interested in multiboxing.

So in the end I too think that most of the hate towards multiboxers comes from missinformation (multiboxxors r invulnerable and hav godlike pwrs...), jealousy (omg, multiboxxors spend moar money than my monthly allowance) and last but not least, stupidity (you hav no right to multibox, it`s illegal, imma report yuo!!!)

In the end I think the only thing you can do is ignore/troll the haters, but NEVER forget that there are also people out there who support and do multiboxing aswell! On my last server alone I inspired two people to start multiboxing, which is well worth all the hate I encountered until then.

Cheers!

I'm still on Stormrage and get almost no feedback these days, which is cool. Although one thing I have noticed while leveling my current group (shaman and four mages, level 70 at the moment) is that a number of opposing-faction players have flagged themselves for PVP combat specifically after seeing me in the area. I don't know if they wanted to see if I was a bot (which would then attack them once they flagged themselves) or if they were trying to set up an ambush (our server still has a pretty big faction imbalance, so alliance players have little fear of flagging themselves). I just ignored them, since I have better things to do than one-shot dummies. But it would've been pretty funny (until the swarm of level 85s arrived, anyway).

My current team of 1x Holy Paladin (Human) + 4x Frost DeathKnights (Gnomettes) gets a lot of positive feedback.
All I've done this expansion is level toons (two sets to 85, and another set from 75 to 82 so far), pvp mostly in battlegrounds (full honor grind on 5x Ferals and the DK/Pally team), a little arena (seven weeks of points on the DK's/Pally) and a few failed attempts at <For The Alliance>.

The team mostly lives in the SW honor vendor area.
They queue from there, mostly for AV's.
Tons of people refer to them as team cutie.
Even going to Org and slaughtering players for an evening, each time they died the reaction was a lot of /hug and /kiss, no /spit or /rude to their corpses.

Their names: Cuddles, Huggles, Tickles and Snuggles (pally is Judsea) might be a factor, as might their pink pigtail haircuts.
