First hate tell....

[Rodskii]

So I am in outlands leveling my quad box and a 70 rogue flys in...

Rogue = "Dual-boxing? Get a life you loser!"

Me = "Actually it's quad boxing. You know..... Cause there are 4 of them."

Rogue = "Get a life loser. Learn to play a MMO with one char."

Me = "Wow you told me."

You are being ignored by 'insert rogue's name here"

Sorry I don't remember his name and damn I wish I took a screenshot.... I laughed for a bit after the conversation....

[Hetzer]

When i get the tell of "get a life" i usually respond with "can i have yours as you seem not to be needing it"

i giggle :D and that all that matters :P

[NoobShammy]

1) I ask them thier /played (if = or + level)
2) then wisper them back my /played
3) then silence


Silence is Golden, Ducktape is Silver

rofl learn to play with 1 character?

wow is easy. boxing is tough.

[Naysayer]

wow, you made it to outland before you got hate tells?!?

[Otlecs]

Actually it's quad boxing. You know..... Cause there are 4 of them."

Classic :)

[shaeman]

I love the way these morons assume you haven't singleboxed 70's already.

[Gadzooks]

I don't get hate tells. :( My server (Dreanor) seems to be pretty neutral WRT boxers, and I know we have a few teams playing - I've seen a couple of 3-boxers about, and I know there's at least one Horde 5 man operating.

The most I get is bored Hordies who try to interfere with my Lock's pet to get me to flag - some jerk did it to me in Winterspring last week while I was turning in quests. One minute I'm clicking buttons, the next my Lock is being ganked by Winterspring guards! Look at the combat log, yup, that Hordie standing next to the NPC did it. Then he proceeds to run around my lock's corpse emoting /chicken. (Still trying to figure out how...MC? Can you MC a felguard?)

Report, parked the lock at the GY until the flag comes off, go on my way. Get a tell from a GM that he will take care of it *personally*, after reviewing the logs and seeing that I was not flagged or doing anything to try and flag. (Methinks that GM does not like griefers who manipulate the PvP flag like that, heh...)

FYI, this is a PVE server, and I do not as a rule PvP with my team, ever. I have zero interest in PvP with them, or I would have nuked his ass with the druid and mage sitting right there - AND rolled on a PvP server. Some day, I might do that, I like PvP. But in this case, and this team, I was just trying turn quests in! I was in no mood to get into a PvP pissing match with the asshole, i was just trying to level.

But then, I see them doing it to EVERYONE. I rolled an alt once, was doing the quests in Goldshire Abbey, and some 70 Horde Huntard was doing the pet exploit to get lowbies to flag. So I logged and got on my PvP S1 rogue (this was during S2), who LOVES huntards for breakfast, and proceeded to gank his ass all over the map, purposely killing his pet while he was sapped. Stupid kept coming back, so I kept killing him, over and over. I HATE griefers who think ganking lowbies is lulz!

It was like this before BC came out - months of bored, asshole players with nothing better to do than annoy other players. Gah! I can't wait for Wrath to come out so i can level in vanilla WoW in peace!

[Frosty]

I only get hate-tells if I try to play on the Horde side of the Ysera server. :S

[Elili]

wow, you made it to outland before you got hate tells?!?For real. All I have to do is stand in Shatt for 30 seconds and someone will come up and say something rude. Today though I got a funny one. Someone just walked up. Slapped my characters, and said "Basement dweller".

[Otlecs]

I think somebody started a thread some time ago about changing attitudes towards multi-boxers over the past 6 months or so, and I've certainly noticed it.

When I first started multi-boxing WoW in April 2007, I got an uncomfortable amount of hate and attention, even on a PvE server, where what I'm doing has very little affect on other people.

In the past 3 months, I think I've had ONE negative whisper, and that was just an indignant "cheater!!!!!", the sender of which was quickly enlightened.

Basically, the anti-multi-boxers have done an amazing PR job for us by continually making inane threads full of asinine arguments that make them look like rabid lunatics while we're all perfectly rational and sensible individuals (*cough*) :)

[Icetech]

first hate in the 60's? jesus... i goto any major city and get shit on....

Yesterday i log in my 11x5 druids and 5 mins in a guy sees me and starts msging me that im a faggot, which... i'm not... i understand fags... cause women are friggin insane.. but i have no desire that way...
Anyway.. he goes on to tell me how im a jew that should die in a oven.... and while im not a jew, and don't hate ovens persay i did report him..hope a gm enjoyed it:)

[Shuri]

I saw a thread in general the other day that said we're all 12, our parents are paying for our accounts...and that we are leveling the characters with RAF to sell off. You can't buy that kind of raving lunatic PR :D

I mean, Booze and women really aren't priorities at 12.

[Drizzit]

lol so true, cause all of use just did boxing without knowing the game. I got my first hate guy yesterday in AV. We where losing pretty badly. We took bal down and the gy next to bal. Then the alliance push got the gy back and killed my team. The gy where i spawn was the one next to the base. I kept wiping on allies cause it was 10 of the and only 5 of me. So there was a horde on his mount that just kept yelling "YOU FUCKIN LOSER", i whisper with my main, which isn't a zag, and said why don't you unmount and fight, but he said i would if they leave. Then he kept on saying that the boxer sucks cause he keeps on dieing. Best part is when someone said well at least he is trying and i don't think that you can take on 10 allies either. So at the end of the AV i was pissed, not cause i lost or cause i was loser, just because he didn't fight. So i was like screw him, i'm going to give him a 48 hour band, so i reported him 5 times saying that he was swearing in av. I log off for a couple and log back on with just my main and get a whisper from a gm, when i was talking to him he said that he was looking into it as we speak.

Public We consider language to be public when said in the "General" and "Trade" channels as well as with the "yell" command. Since comments in these forums are visible to the largest number of players, we take harassment in these channels very seriously. Abuse of language in these mediums will receive at least the penalty listed above, if not additional repercussions. So sense he was yelling it, it makes it worse... lol, so call me a bot, loser, or i suck, but if you don't play you get reported 5 times... beat he was pissed with his suspension.

[Arryth]

I get them constantly when I'm running dailies. Usually from low level alts. I find way more people are curious and think its cool then give me any sort of grief.

[Coltimar]

The "get a life" thing really bothers me. Not hurts my feelings, but bothers me. Like when the cashier can't figure our my coin change in their head. It especially bothers me when they player hating is in raiding gear. Wait, you are a raider and you are telling me to get a life. I know a lot of folks here raid, and that is cool. But I have raided in every dungeon in the game except Sunwell 25. That is how I ended up here. You spend 3 hours a day farming gold and doing dailies so you can afford to raid :/ I actually liked the 40 mans, can tolerate the 10 mans but loathe the 25 man raids. I'm not sure why but while the raid is going on I just sit there mashing buttons and hating the whole process.

I just wish they could come up with something better than 'get a life'. Dissing a MB'er for inefficient use of time is like chumping someone for having nice, white teeth.

[Caspian]

Rogue = "Dual-boxing? Get a life you loser!"

Is that a PvP reward? Does it take honor or arena points?

Is that a PvP reward? Does it take honor or arena points?27,000 honor and 40 EotS marks. I'm currently saving up for one.

[Malekyth]

I'm still trailing far behind as far as the hate goes! Last night someone in General said "multiboxing is not [sic] aloud", which at least two other people corrected for the guy even before I finished my "oh no, have you informed Blizzard?!" Later on, someone stopped to watch me kill orcs in Hellfire and said "I love watching multiboxers." Lightbringer Horde is awesome with multiboxer love.

[HTeam]

I'm still having a largely positive response on Crushridge horde.

So far though, the 3 haters have all been higher levels picking on lower levels. I guess I can see where they'd have to be against multiboxing.

[Drizzit]

Besides that one guy hatting on me in AV. AV has been more then welcome with me. I think it is because of OX and ellay (for his short stay here).

OX what is your name here. I've seen you post before but cannot remember who you are.

[Toned]

If you really want to get the hate tells, troll around BGs just NAILING the same guy over and over. He is bound to call you a virgin basement lurker. Everytime I do BGs I get atleast 1 alliance to log on a lvl 1 and say how im fat, loser, etc... Then they say $75 on a game is ridiculous. At which point I'm like wait.... so because I have more money to blow than you I'm the loser? Ditch the burger flipping and get a job jeebus. Then they get angry when I say well actually it's $150 I just recently started another 5man group to 10box.

You referring to the Oxa team from US Crushridge? I play alliance on CR and ran into him for the first time last night in AV, when I saw him for the first time I was thinking, " :thumbsup: Cool, another multiboxer! :thumbsup: " He came with others and proceeded to wipe me several times over, he died one time I think, with my help but def not because of me alone. It was funny seeing all the alliance chat saying how much those CL's hurt.

I did not see him back in shatt so I'm not sure where he qued from, it was fun though and hope to see him around some more.

I think there are several lvl 70 horde MB groups on US CR, I don't know of any other alliance ones though, at least I haven't ran into any in shat yet.

[Drizzit]

Don't think it was him. He is in the bloodlust bg. He is like oxoxoxoxoxo, ooxoxoxoxox, oooxxoxoxxoxo, and oxxooxoxxoxo (something like that). He is probably pissed at me cause i was talking to him, he didn't say that to me but after boxing a couple bg i don't reply to anything cause that puts me in a bad place where i can wipe easy.

[Icetech]

today i got "a 5boxer... we lose.. when i entered AV:) and we lost.. not my fault though... team went like ALLLLLL D..

Then in eots as i was solo taking like all the towers, i got a guy telling me i was his own personal hero and he loves me:)

BTW.. best strat i had found in EOTS is to keep going tower to tower.. make them defend or lose what they have... ended up winnin big:)

[Bovidae]

So many great comments that I would like to remark on:

'L2Psolo' - I have got that one so many times, I refer them to my T6 mage and T5 warrior

(in BGs) 'OMG BOXER WE LUZE' - I like proving them wrong, and chain reporting them afk in the process.

'You pay too much to play' - $45/month ain't shit, get a real job kid

'What a waste of time' - I leveled from 0 to S2 geared in 4 months casually, and could do it in a third the time with RAF

But honestly, I do not get nearly the hate that I used to, becuase it primarily came from BGs when I first hit 70 and had no gear. Now, people recognize.

[Drizzit]

people recognize.

That is what it is about. I did AV for 4 days in a row. The first day nothing good/bad, by the end of the fourth day i was getting cool the zags are here.

[kadaan]

Questing in Zangarmarsh at level 62...

61 Hunter: CHEATER
Me: Where?
61 Hunter: U have bots following u
Me: Oh, they're not bots, I'm multiboxing and it's perfectly legal
Me: Besides, you're a hunter, you're the one cheating.
(silence)

No idea what was going through his head at that point, but I laughed when he didn't respond :).

[Hachoo]

Just wanted throw in some input from Burning Legion (Horde).

When I first created my 5 shamans and they were all level 4 I had a troll mage questing in the newbie zone call me a loser faggot - that was a bit depressing because I thought it set the stage for the rest of my multiboxing career. But ever since then I've gotten nothing but love. Every time I show up in orgrimmar I get people whispering me like "Dude thats totally awesome", and then I'll put on a 5 shaman light show with totems, etc. Sometimes I have to avoid org because I get so many whispers of "thats cool" and "how do you do that" that I can't respond to them all. I also always get 2-3 people following me around the city seeing what I'm going to do.

I was questing in STV the other day and 2 same level ally druids started attacking me while I was afk reading a webpage...I came back in time to see them hitting me and a 70 shaman coming over the horizon to "help them out". 1 chain lightning killed both of them which made me LOL but then 1 chain lightning from the shaman killed 3 of my guys, then a couple smacks witha mace killed my other 2. Still, it was AWESOME killing both druids while their 70 friend came to help them kill me lol. After I died the 70 ally shaman /sigh'd to my main, which made me giggle more.

[Korruptor]

Last night as I'm about to clear the boss in death-holme and as I'm approaching the temple this lock calls me a botter. I target him /lol and call him a moron x5 (yes my patience wears thin at times). I dare him to petition me and his response is "na" but I notice he is following me into the temple so I figure since he is alone he's going to try to train me on the boss pull.

After rounding like the second corner inside I quickly snap back and run out but he kept running in. Good for him, enjoy the corpse run, loser.

I didn't see him again after that.

[Icetech]

sometimes i wish we could kill our own faction....

But today, doing dailies and had a priest /spit on me in town... so i took 15 steps outa town and 1 shotted him in front of the guards:) His friends were /laugh at him when i walked back in:)

Also 1 shot a pally that was in ogr..

i respeced to 40/0/21 and man.. the macro for BF/EM/CL is sick

Do you guys use any addons to keep track of team damage per target?

[shockernub]

...while I was afk reading a webpage...I came

Since when does watching porn count as "reading"


I read alot while boxing too, it's all good, rofl 8|

J/K :whistling:

[valtrex]

The hate for my guys seemed to die off about 55ish. People are getting used to me I guess. I dont see other boxers on Detheroc but Im sure there are some. I had a guy "test" me today to see if I was a farmer by asking me the quarterback to the patriots.

[Stealthy]

I usually choose from these:

Because I can.

Haven't you heard? Solo is the new gimp!

I got a life - dat's how I can afford this. Dun hate cuz you're on the welfare s0n!

If you're flippin burgers at McDonalds, $75 a month can seem like a lot of money I guess.

I'm not multiboxing...watching too much pron on the internet must have blurred your vision.



Cheers,

[15:10:42] [<hater>] whispers: how do u get away with that
[15:10:52] To [<hater>]: Get away with what?
[15:11:15] [<hater>] whispers: that farce
[15:11:43] To [<hater>]: Ah, you're "one of those". Ok.
[15:13:31] [<hater>] whispers: ofc i dont agree with that ,,,,who in their right minds would
[15:14:24] To [<hater>]: Your agreement or otherwise with it is a complete irrelevance when it's been sanctioned as a legitimate playstyle. /shrug
[15:15:15] [<hater>] whispers: well imglad im not part of it ,,,,but we will see abt that
[15:15:27] To [<hater>]: I'm glad you're not too :)
[15:16:11] [<hater>] whispers: u seem to hv a big chip on ur shoulder lol
[15:16:33] To [<hater>]: Me? Hang on. Weren't you the one harassing me for my choice of playstyle, or did I miss something here?
[15:16:54] To [<hater>]: I assure you I have no chip on my shoulder whatsoever. I'm a very happy multiboxer :)
[15:17:01] [<hater>] whispers: hasass lolu call that harasslol
[15:17:32] To [<hater>]: Sorry, I didn't catch that. Do you speak English?
[15:18:04] [<hater>] whispers: im only speaking my mind and that s what irishmen do
[15:18:36] To [<hater>]: That's what everybody should do, and I encourage it, but to have a go at me and then say it's me with the chip is a bit rich.
[15:19:17] [<hater>] whispers: ur first answer showed that u hv lol
[15:19:58] To [<hater>]: You think my immediate recognition of you as one of the few multi-box haters from your "that FARCE" comment was inappropriate?
[15:21:00] [<hater>] whispers: I hv no more time to waste ....u carry on with your farce lol
[15:21:15] To [<hater>]: And you with your shallow little world. Safe travels.
[15:21:40] [<hater>] whispers: insulting to the end
[15:22:16] To [<hater>]: Not at all. I merely respond in kind. You view my playstle as a farce, I view yours as shallow :)
[15:23:32] [<hater>] whispers: not shallow I can assure you,,,,i hv 10 chars but i dont play them all together lol
[15:24:31] To [<hater>]: Exactly. Your in ability to play them together is what - in my opinion - makes your (perfectly valid) playstyle shallow. There's no challenge for me in playijng a single character, but I understand why some would still find it so.
[15:25:44] [<hater>] whispers: then there are millions of shallow ppl playiny wow...lol
[15:26:54] To [<hater>]: There are indeed. It's a very simple game to be sure. Fortunately, there are margins at the top for those who find it that way, and Blizzard is good enough to allow that.
[15:27:32] To [<hater>]: In the same way as only a very small percentage of those millions will see the final boss in MH/BT, only a small percentage will be successful boxers. Everybody's happy. Except the haters of course.
[15:28:19] [<hater>] whispers: I see now you are making sense,,,so much si that u intrigue me and i might hv a look at ur playstyle choice
[15:28:58] To [<hater>]: I'm glad. I don't like to think that what I'm doing annoys people. Our community site is at dual-boxing.com if you're sincere about that. Thanks for taking the trouble to chat.

I have mixed feelings about what I just read :P

[Souca]

I got my first hate sometime around level 12 or so. I got my first "thats so cool" shortly after. The hates seemed to stop around the 30-40s, except for the occasional /slap now and then. The really interesting thing I've noticed is that I seem to attract followers on both sides. When I was in Tanaris a horde came by, circled me a couple times and then left after I waved. Maybe 1 minute later he came back with two more horde. They collowed me for a while and watched as I did some questing and then left. For the rest of the time I was in Tanaris, random horde seemed to be showing up to just watch. They didn't do anything but watch, so I assume they were curious though I will admit I get a littled weirded out when people follow me, especially horde since I play alliance and can't do anything but emote at them.

As for alliance players, I get asked so many questions about how I do it, if its legal, and my favorite "do you need more than one account?". I try to respond to them and I always point them here, but it does get tiring if I am trying to get a quest done or want to head somewhere. The one really strange thing is that most people think I only have 4 characters. I wouldn't think too much of it if my guild name wasn't "Five Times the Fun".

I have had a couple alliance telll me that I'm the first multiboxer on the server they know of. Not sure if it's true, but I definately draw a crowd.

On the whole get a life thing, I am always amused that people assume we play more than they do. I think they end up multiplying the time we play by the number of characters or something. As for my personal experience, I get a lot more done multiboxing than I ever did when I was raiding and playing more hours per week.
