How other players interact with multiboxers

[Neodon]

This article is a bit harsh, and I apologize if it offends anyone. It is also a post from my blog ('http://whatisearchfor.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-world-of-warcraft-idiots-interact.html').

The Problem

Unfortunately, World of Warcraft is full of immature idiots and spoiled children. In spite of all the intelligent, considerate players in the game, they really start to come out of the woodwork when something unusual is going on. Like another player who is multiboxing ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/'). Any time I go to a populated area I am constantly harassed by these like. Here are some of the common types of idiots I interact with as a multiboxer.

The Genius

This player knows you're doing something wrong and breaking the rules, and they're going to tell you about it. It's cheating, botting, or some other offensive abomination of gameplay. When I first started to get these idiots, I would try to educate them about the legitimacy of multiboxing.

However, I have never been able to get anything across to them. So now to handle these geniuses, I simply tell them to report me if they are so damn smart. I wish I could watch their conversations with the GM.

The Pest

This is the one that irritates me the most. This is the player that follows you and either says incoherent gibberish or puts you on autofollow and won't go away. They say stupid things like "wat ur doing????????????????LOL" and such.

I had the worst encounter once in Durotar with a hunter who put me on autofollow. Any time I would go to attack something, he would try to attack it first to steal it from me. I had to employ some misdirection and instant spells to get my kills. Eventually he got bored and left.

The Buffer

This one isn't so bad, but after running into 2-3 of them in a row it gets annoying. This one thinks you definitely need their buffs, so they follow you until they have buffed every one of your characters. This happens to everyone though, not just multiboxers.

The Excessively Amused

I think this is the second most irritating type. This is the player who just thinks what you are doing is the most hilarious thing they have ever seen. They come up and say things like "LOL," "HAHAHA," or some similar emote. I try asking them what is so funny, but they can't really give me a good answer. Five players in a group is not funny!

I had one today who came up and laughed at me and then ran away. I asked what was so funny and he said "are you kidding?" No, I'm not telling a joke. In fact, I haven't done anything funny yet, so stop laughing!

The Hater

This player hates you and everything about multiboxing. They spit at you, fart on you, and tell you that you're a loser. I don't know what their problem is, but it probably has something to do with either losing to a multiboxer in the battlegrounds or being so poor they can't afford more WoW accounts to multibox themselves. Or they are too dumb to do it.

Yesterday I was in Orgrimmar with several level 70's around me reinforcing each others hatred for multiboxers. It was a rather harsh environment, but I just merrily danced with them and avoided responding to their incendiary comments.

The Poor Child

You know, $75 a month for five accounts is really not a lot of money. I think a lot of people probably spend more on their cell phone. However, there are these poor children in World of Warcraft who are on an allowance and think you are some spoiled rich kid who gets everything in the world, including five WoW accounts. No thank you, I have a full-time job and $75 is next to nothing for me to afford. Ask your mommy to raise your allowance.

The Exception

These are the players I love to interact with. They come up and ask intelligent questions if they are not familiar with multiboxing, or they strike up an interesting conversation if they know more about it.

These players are nice, curious, and mature, and I wish they were more plentiful. I've had conversations about different multiboxing strategies, received intelligent questions about how to do it and how to get more information, and just chit-chatted about random other things not related to multiboxing. Thanks for making the game worth playing.

What are some of the most annoying experiences you have while multiboxing?

[Naysayer]

lol

[Xyl41]

My most "interesting" experience would be here ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=12637'). Got spam reported AFK in AV :(

[Yamio]

I had these two kids who began following me around in town and doing the whole lol, haha and whatnot, but not actually asking any questions, so I didn't say anything to em. I never acknowledged them. When I would stop at the mailbox or repair guy, these kids would walk up to me really close, back off, then get close again, like they wanted to make sure I noticed they were there. Yeah I saw their dumb asses but again I didn't acknowledge them.

Well, I guess that made them mad, cause both hopped on those ugly ass oversized Blood Elf chicken mounts, and began making them squawk over and over. To me, the sound those mounts make just grates on my nerves. But there's an easy fix to an annoying sound; just turn down your speakers and that's what I did. Still I didn't acknowledge them.

Thus they began throwing down the dual flag on my guys, talking trash and saying stuff like "C'mon fight like a man", and /spitting and /chicken me. I just kept going on about my business and when I was done with all the stuff I needed to do, I logged out, which was the only reason I was in town anyway.

Funny how someone can get really angry when you don't acknowledge their existance. /shrug

[Chaosomega]

You should add the griever or begger

"This player pleads for your help, certainly jealous of fast you did your quest that you should have no problem doing his as well. Persistant and annoying like a little fly. Constant reminders and tells to your character usually end up with their name on /.ignore."

[Kayley]

The most annoying person would be the elitist multi boxer.
Everybody is different, but it really 'grinds my gears' when someone who is multiboxing thinks so highly of themselves, just because they are playing 3/4/5 characters.

My girlfriend would fall under 'The Buffer' but she just thinks she is being nice, refreshing buffs and whatnot. :love:

Disgruntled Arena Superstar (my favourite)
Just a mix of The Genius and The Hater until they cool off. Most of the time they end up being The exception (after 10 minutes of verbal abuse haha).

[Awbee]

The other night in an AV I had one rogue starting the "you are cheating - not playing - they just on follow not helping" attitude Even after I took RH by myself with him coming up later and then holding off several attempts to reclaim it, he was still going on about my "wasting 4 spots that others could be using". Well, the very next AV I get a whisper from him asking, "Could you please ove playerx and playery and myself to the same group?" (advantage of join as group for av is I am always leader) and then I even got a "Thanks" from him. Then that entire AV he disn't say a word about the multiboxer.

[Icetech]

I'm sick of the kiddies.. i don't know why people want kids.. nothing but a pain in the ass.. anyway..

My first AV today.. i had a guy tell the whole AV how i AFK all the time and im just a bot and all that... yeah.. til i ran into balinda's room and 1 shot the pally standing behind her while everyone watched.. then they loved me..

Now i put a nipple over idiots heads since im raid leader 95% of the time anyway...

[Kayley]

Now i put a nipple over idiots heads since im raid leader 95% of the time anyway...I like :O

Although I did enjoy being told I'm cheating, going to get banned etc etc.. then seeing a horde multi boxer ride up and unload on them all (I just let him blow up the haters, was amusing).

[Awbee]

Now i put a nipple over idiots heads since im raid leader 95% of the time anyway...

Nipple?!? no, no, that is a condom. You use it to prevent that idiot from reproducing.

[shaeman]

'm sick of the kiddies.. i don't know why people want kids.. nothing but a pain in the ass.. anyway..
You're assuming they are kids. I'm pretty sure there are a fair few retarded adults giving the grief.
I've met fantastic considerate players in the game that have turned out to be early teens, and I've met spoilt brat "me,me,me" players that have turned out to be 20's or over.

[David]

I had the worst encounter once in Durotar with a hunter who put me on autofollow. Any time I would go to attack something, he would try to attack it first to steal it from me. I had to employ some misdirection and instant spells to get my kills. Eventually he got bored and left. You can actually report thi. Had it once on a single char, some lvl70 was stealing my kills. I wrote a ticket and in a few mins a GM got to me allready.

[cottoncandyrage]

I had some smart guy doing the same thing, following me around and stealing the mobs I was targeting, in the dwarf/gnome starting area!! I just spread out and danced with him until he got tired of waiting and left to go bother someone else. Not exactly a viable tactic if you are higher level on a pvp server, but I find that just staying put and /dancing is a fun way to frustrate someone that's being nasty into leaving you alone. :D

So far I've gotten some "whoas" and "lols", no hate tells yet but I'm sure they're coming.

The best ones so far? Some form of "OMG SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!" heheh I guess it can be hard to resist 5 rainbow-haired hopping gnomes

Luckily, all of the following...


The Genius
The Pest
The Excessively Amused
The Hater
The Poor Child
are solved by judicious use of /ignore.

I have to admit that I started off having conversations with even the worst of the muppets but now just can't be bothered.

/ignore FTW

They also go on my Vanos KOS and/or hate list, so won't get any aid from my single-box chars.

[Akoko]

The Friends List Adder:

Can be either a blessing or a curse, simply by multiboxing you get a large amount of people keeping you on their friends list. While this can be good that people always ask you to join their instance groups, most of the time they fill the other slots with a horrible tank or healer, or have four dps in one group. And when you're busy, you get constant tells "Do you want to hit up XX instance?" Since there are so many of them, it's nearly impossible to remember who actually knows how to play and who is just a multiboxing-fascinated although unskilled player (I've had a few just watch me, sitting there and only marginally helping out the 5 man group)

The Neutral Town Camper:

Opposite faction only. When they see a multiboxer, they call in their entire guild and kill you in a neutral town such that it's impossible to even hand in a quest, spamming "XX claps for you, clearly unimpressed" emotes. They may pay hundreds, if not thousands of gold in total repair bills from dying to neutral guards, but they have satisfaction! Surely killing a no-life basement dwelling multiboxer makes them experienced socialites.

The Watcher:

Follows you around, but from a distance. Can be from either faction. Always stays on mount or in stealth. Never says anything but just watches you for a very very long time as you quest, do dailies, etc.

The Foreigner:

Believe it or not, I've had tons of people try to talk to me in Chinese. Some of them actually seem legitimate though... When I first started my team in valley of trials a level 1 female orc warrior kept speaking to me in Chinese and it was obvious she was trying to find out how it was being done! (I have basic knowledge in Mandarin)

The Pauser:

When riding past you doing city errands, stops, turns towards you for a second, scratches their head and runs away.

The Multiple Emoter:

Feels that they have to repeat an emote targeted at each character, because "Greeting everyone with a hearty hello" is not nearly as good as 3 separate emotes.

[DKangels]

I have to admit, I use to hate you guys, and thought you guys were wasting money and time for doing this. Judging a book by its cover, but after I opened it and started reading, seems like a very fun and some what inexpensive hobby.(Comparded to other Hobbys like fishing,gardening, etc, and more fun). I can't wait till I start doing this.

[zanthor]

I ran into a Genius today...


[08/31/08]

17:15 [Twôhôrny]: what a looser
17:37 [Oxoa]: ni hao
17:38 [Twôhôrny]: ?
17:44 [Oxoa]: nothing, I just wanted to verify the spelling of your name for my harrassment petition.
17:44 [Twôhôrny]: what harassment?
17:44 [Oxoa]: 17:15[Twôhôrny]: what a looser
17:45 [Twôhôrny]: ohh ok dont worry i alrdy put in a petition for u 8) u have a nice day now u hear
17:46 [Oxoa]: glad you did, you see multiboxing isn't illegal
17:47 [Oxoa]: so, you have a nice day as well
17:47 [Twôhôrny]: thats what the last one said till they got in trouble for it 8)
17:48 [Oxoa]: I'm sure. Which is why I have 5 70's I multiboxed from 1-70, as well as another 4 that I leveled from 1-63 and these locks now.... I've talked to many GM's about it.

I was going to leave well enough alone, but the name really offended me... such an abuse of Two vs Too... and the guy ignored me before we finished, so I figured what the hell, and petitioned his name for being in violation of the naming conventions... And because if you /friend someone, their name updates on your friends list if it gets changed, I friended him...

Issege is his new name... I hope he enjoys it.

[Tasty]

That Gen Forums post is almost as much fun as multiboxing itself. Many lols :D

[Savage]

Yeah, I know. Any time mutliboxing is mentioned, people get all butt-hurt because they've been one-shot in some AV one day and don't like that one bit.

[Jamien]

Pure gold.
In my short time spent boxing I've come across a number of similar people.

My very favourite was a shaman who followed me around yesterday in Hillsbrad for about 2 hours. All the way from the Zep at UC, I ran on my slow level 30 mounts to Hammerfall with this level 70 in tow.
Normally it gets annoying having people on follow gawking and just being obnoxious, but this guy was one of the ones who can have a decent conversation, whilst staying out of your way!
Managed to gank a 70 mage (he was resto, so took a beating) with all 5 of my shamans spamming heals on him, with oh so tasty grounding totems ensuring I took minimal damage.
Finally made it to Hammerfall, with only 2 other encounters which ended up with the alliance running away as fast as possible. When there I spent the next hour just chatting, jumping, making formations and droping a butload of totems to light up the flight masters deck.
Didn't even realise how much time I spent mucking around with someone random who /f my main from UC.

Funnily enough mid chatting I had another guy who butted in by saing "pardon me, but I have a question". I love these kind of people, they have manners and are polite! It's wonderful.
"What would be better to play, rogue or priest?" thankfully I have a 70 of each, both in mostly good gear so was able to let him know the finer points of each class.

I digress. After an hour or so of chatting I decided it was time to go kill some stuff. At which point along came a Hater. Apparently I have no life, am wasting my money and am a virgin.
He cut me deep. So deep that even 5x Lesser Healing Waves couldn't heal me.


Another tale of Hammerfall woes, some random was spamming general, what he was saying I can't remember. Alas, to brighten the mood I proceeded to recite one of bash.org's finer Roses are Red poems, to wit:

Zapcowone says: Roses are red.
Zapcowtwo says: Violets are blue.
Zapcowthree says: I'm going to fuck you with a rake.

Needless to say about 10 minutes later I had a GM saying that I have received a warning, but refused to tell me what for. Apparently someone didn't have the bubblewrap and earmuffs secured tightly and I offended them.
If I reported every person who abused me I'd have a GM ticket open permanently.

[Tasty]

I'm yet to start multiboxing myself, just waiting for my new rig to arrive to get started...

But in the past i've had many "WoW Projects" just things out of the ordinary I take apon myself to complete, which usually results in me telling my "friends" on MSN/In-Game before I start them...

So, I decide to do something else that isn't the "norm" and multibox 5 characters and I am utterly horrified by responses from some so called "friends" who I thought I had on-line, being flammed by them before even starting worrys me for what I will recieve from other players in-game, I didn't know how to take these people, I couldn't figure out if they were jealous or just... small minded lamers.

Anyway, I've just been telling people to not hate what they don't rate and that usually keeps them quite long enough for me to slap an ignore on them.

:( :( :(

Here is another kind which I would have never expected:

The Student:
Someone who whispers you and asks you how you are doing that, so you tell him and point him to the wiki for information (repeatedly). He then asks you which software you are using. 5 minutes later he says "I installed the software, what do I do next?"

I might be willing to babysit a friend through this process but sure as hell not some random guy that whispers me.

I`m not even high lvl yet and I`m getting sick of appairantly 12year olds who keep annoying you with these questions. I think some GMlike macro`s would be nice. Just auto reply the same over and over.

This is when I happily announce I'm a hardware multiboxer.

"Where do I get that?"

Oh, my multiplexer runs in the $500 range ('http://vetra.com/884text.html').


They shut RIGHT up. ;)

[wallshot]

I have one macro that works 95% of the time. I send all yells, tells, and says to a special chat window on my main so I can browse the higher order intelligence trade/general channel chat in peace.

90% of all interactions with my toons start and end with "wtf?"

10% get my attention enough via a tell for me to spam my auto reply:

MACRO 1 "mbox" INV_Misc_QuestionMark
/r google multibox wow. I play 5 different accounts on 1 computer. cheers
END

Few of the "replied" to are worth chatting with for the above reasons and rarely get much more out of me unless they are nice. I broke this rule this morning before breakfast had satiated my belly. I found that replying to the queued up genius line "you know that's like 13$ per account" with "I pay for these accounts so that I don't have to play with u" will normally incite your expected 30min berating from the offending character.

Being a holy priest for 2-3yrs I actually took up a keyboard spot just for "/r no thx, gl" so I have had some time to optimize my response for minimal fuss and baby sitting. While I am at it...what is the text inside of your auto reply macro?

[mlwhitt]

Most of the ones I get are those that just follow me around trying to figure out WTF is happening. I recently started playing with 5 totally different looking characters and with totally different names and I have noticed that people have started leaving me a lone more often as usually they can't tell I am boxing. Of course the new guild I started is kinda of a give away.... "All By Myself". Lol.

[KSboxers]

Currently rolling 5 BE locks that all look the same and have basically the same name (high ascii). I was running through UC this morning and they happened to be a bit spread out. A guy followed me for a min and when i stopped asked me how many accounts i had, because he can see several toons all alike with the same name. I asked him how i could have toons with all the same name, told him i only have one account, and suggested he have his computer looked at.

[Jamien]

I need to make an auto reply (will do shortly, as multiboxer lets me know if someone whispers a slave) something along the lines of.

/r Auto response - www.dual-boxing.com, or talk to Zapcowone unless its lol/zomg how do you do that/you have no life/etc.

[moji]

I had some guy today /w me saying he restarted his computer when he saw me, he thought it was glitching or buggin out or somethin.

[Frosty]

I walked up on a rogue that was eating for health and as I mass-buffed and started to heal him I get:

Rogue: Another multi-boxing bastard

As soon as the heals landed, I replied “Your welcome”. :S

[OzPhoenix]

Add The Pauper to the list.

It's a similiar category to the student, but this one is immediately deterred by the first mention of cost associated with multiboxing.

I had one pester me for 10 minutes last night (ignore list was full, I soooo need to get that infinite ignore list addon) wanting me to send him a copy of my Keyclone, because $20 was too much. /facepalm

[Ken]

@ Startpost:
I think you don't report people enough :P

Stealing your kills (by tagging) can be reported (and a GM will tell the player to stop doing that) and also abusive language is an offense.
So please report people that break the rules, so WoW can be a better game for all of us :)

[Siaea]

I'm always amused by the pausers/head scratchers, and I have a few that have asked me legitimate questions (whom I've always directed here :P) but there's a few on Bonechewer who hate mb'ers and make it very clear. There's always the /yell LAME! (last night) and the /yell NOOBS! (also last night). I just started agreeing with them (they hate that).

Had another one tell me I was a letdown to my parents (no idea where that came from). He started a whole thread on Bonechewer forums to try to "out" me. It actually came off as a qq for him tho, because it turned into a discussion on the best key cloner. It's titled "List 'o Multiboxers" on the realm forums, if you want a laugh. I'm Drewed and Thesundog, just haven't felt like changing my avatar.

[Ogre]

The Comedian: (some are funny, some are failures)

My favorite that took me completely by surprise…

I was just starting multiboxing on Aerie Peak, as a friend had pseudo-challenged me to make all mages. I made quintuplets of the best looking female redhead Blood Elves that I could. I was outside UC rolling up onto the platform to the zeppelin. A troll hanging there for the zeppelin said, "OMG - my prayers were FINALLY answered!"

I defiintely told him that was funny.

FailedComedian: "multi box less? lol"

Ogre: "That was funny?"



The English Professor: (really have a grasp on the English language)

wtf?

?

fag

wut u doin

Their comments/questions I usually won't answer unless they treat and speak to me like a human being. I just don't respond because I don't want to get baited into a conversation with a stubborn idiot that wants to call me a fat loser. I also want to see their reaction. One guy followed me just putting "?" in every form possible. "?" is not a question. If they politely ask me a non-baited question, I'll answer politely.

Another "wtf?" repeater who was a higher level started killing everything in the area to get me to stop and acknowledge him - funny thing, the mobs started respawning before he could finish the job.

I really fear for the nation's youth, as many don't know how to express themselves without text-messaging gibberish, or using foul-mouthed junk.

If the idiots get really upset, I've done my job. Their tears are sweet signs of my victory.

Judgemental: (trying to make themselves feel better by calling names)

loser

Idiot

no-life

I'm no god, and I don't think I am either. However, I have a GREAT job, and a GREAT wife. I am an avid kickboxer and a college grad (History and Education). I went through college on a full-ride Baseball/Academic scholarship where I won many awards pitching. Some friends of mine got me involved in LAN Parties where I became addicted to online gaming. I was ranked 29th in the world in Quake II by an online ranking service, and my Weapons Factory team achieved as high as 2nd on the OGL. I was an avid computer case modder during the height of my LAN Partying. My comments on gaming (near the time of the Columbine shooting) had been published in Wired and the Chicago Tribune (which is a funny story - I'll post in another thread to stay on topic). I've travelled all over this great world of ours and am pretty proud of my accomplishments. I don't feel like I'm better than anybody, but I'd like to see what these people who call me a loser have done with THEIR lives besides played WoW on their daddy's computer and credit card.

One of the best responses to my shamans last night, walked up to the zepp outside Org going to UC.

Some random pally runs up, stops, turns around. looks at my cows, turns around, stops, turns around again, looks again and says
"Sweet merciful christ, now thats a herd of cows"

This is where I mention that I can do the same thing as a multiplexer with wireless keyboards for about $50. :)When asked how I set things up I simply tell them that it's a test, if they can't get the basics working without help they'll never be able to actually multibox successfully. Money seems to be the biggest roadblock for the most inquisitive... most of the kiddies are like zomg you must be rich... to which I simply reply that I have a decent job but I'm far from retired.

[Bradster]

I get the "lol" often. I've never really took it as an insult. I mean when I first saw Xzin fire 4 Pyroblasts at a hunter at once I couldn't help but LOL. In my mind a single boxer is grinding away at quests and boring stuff just like us when out of blue they see the most random thing ever. 5 toons exactly the same busting out with 5 chains at once. You can't help but laugh :).

The followers however get really annoying. I avoid going in to town when I can, because if I take the whole team I have a few behind me. What's great is this time around I have a pally so I can out run them all quickly leaving them in the dust.

[blast3r]

Lately I am beginning to find I have a shorter temper when dealing with the box haters. I think everyone can pretty much tell right off the bat where a conversation is heading. Just yesterday I had some player say "You're cool". I said "I know" X 5. And then the 'You have no life" comment was next. I kind of knew that was coming. I would rather ignore those people but it is hard for me to do. Here I am playing World of Warcraft and another person who is playing World of Warcraft says I have no life. It is funny when you really think of it. It is like being single and going to a singles bar and calling all the other singles losers because they are single. Hilarious, actually.

I can see the guy now telling one of his friends. ZOMG I WAS PLAYING WORLD OF WARCRAFT YESTERDAY AND I SAW THIS DOOD WITH NO LIFE...WTF!!!!

/facepalm

So, maybe I have 'no life' or maybe I don't have 'no life'...or is it maybe I don't have a life. There is a difference I think. I believe that there is no definition that can apply to everyone that describes what 'a life' is supposed to be. I believe it is all relative. I need constant stimulation and this game gives just that. It is the same to me as reading a book except you get to control where the story goes to a point.

[Jamien]

Sitting outside UC last night I spent about 30 minutes fixing up my chain heal macro, so that it would target my mains target with no modifier, or target the next in line (one targets two, two targets three, etc) if I held alt. If one was dead when alt was held it would self cast.
Had about 10 people run up and just say "lol" or "wtf" then run off, bloody hell thats so annoying.

Then there was one who kept demanding I drop totems, or use chain heal and lightning shield. Hellooo .. I'm not here for your amusement.
And there was the usual "wow another no life multiboxer" who ran up and just had to let me know that he doesn't approve of the game I play ... oh wait.

I had my first entertainment request just yesterday. I was at the Org zeplin (I really need to change my hearth to UC so I can go straight to SM) and this guy asked me to "Just run around a bit". I'm there waiting for a zeplin. Who wants to get an alt stuck on the zeplin tower somewhere when it's time to embark?


The Poor Child

You know, $75 a month for five accounts is really not a lot of money. I think a lot of people probably spend more on their cell phone. However, there are these poor children in World of Warcraft who are on an allowance and think you are some spoiled rich kid who gets everything in the world, including five WoW accounts. No thank you, I have a full-time job and $75 is next to nothing for me to afford. Ask your mommy to raise your allowance.


As for THE ACCOUNTANT (or poor child) type of griefer: I had one major griefer at my 30 ding party who kept insisting that I spent too much money on my accounts. I said that half of them were still on free months from referrals or new accounts. He said it was still too much to pay. I asked him how much it cost for dinner and a movie out once per month or how much he spent at the vending machine at work every month. He stuck to his argument and stated I wasted too much money. So I finally asked "What if money isn't an issue?" to which he responded "You could have just said that to begin with". I think he assumed that I was rich and dropped the darn argument. In actuality, money isn't an issue because I don't spend that much on boxing, compared to what other expenses are (like dinner out or vending machines or whatever). Anyhow, next time I get an ACCOUNTANT, I'll just explain it to them using their precious budget math: no morgage + no kids + no dog = $ for multi-boxing

POP QUIZ

Why do all ACCOUNTANTS quote you the month-to-month subscription price during their arguments?

A) Because they are all 12 yr olds on an allowance that only gives them enough to subcribe on a month-by-month basis.
B) Because if they use the month-by-month rate, the math is more outrageous and their logic will surely cure you of your multi-boxing bad spending habits.
C) both 'A' and 'B'

Answer: C
