Why do they hate us (Non-MBs)?

[Marious]

So I am leveling in STV and doing the mastery quest, and I run into some 63 lock running with his low level friend and his like "Multiboxing Noob" I was gonna say "True, true I just started multiboxing." But I ignored him, some other guy was like "You will always be a virgin." Oh really, if that the case than my daughter is not really my daughter, I tell him come talk to me when you have a career and kids. And what was his reponse "I'm only 16, deal with it." So a teenager not surprised at all about that one. Some 32 rogue was like "Loser" /sigh all these people just love to make themselved feel better about themselves by insulting some one they know nothing about.

So how many times do you all get hit with this? Seems like I get hit by this daily. So how do you all deal with these kind of people? Oh and the oposite faction loves to kill me, but again I am on a PVP server so it dont bother me much, I just hate having to run to my body, and it dont help that I have a druid and 2 mages, darn wisp form always loses the mages after like a minute. Its not like I was not getting ganked by the horde on my 70's when doing solo rep grind before, so not much change now that I started MBing.

One last question, and I probably know the answer already. Why does the opposite faction love to one gank lowvis in STV, Southshore, and Lakeshire (I know all alliance toons, I am sure a horde player can get on and name the places that the alliance gank at) and then gang up on you in other areas when your on your 70's? I only have run into a few who will face me one on one and for them I have respect when they beat the crap out of me because they dont need anyone else to show they can PVP, while others will do nothing with out back up.

Well thats my rant for today, thanks for listening. Just wanted to vent since its kind of dishartening to get instulted by these other players, even though I know most are a bunch of kids and since i am Alliance I know that its a buch of kids since they QQ a lot all the time.

[Drizzit]

You will always be a virgin

shit my daughter is going to be multi-boxing when she is 10 then :P

I usually get asked "wow you must be rich to have extra money to play 5 account". I usually replay "i only pay $65 a month for 5 accounts (i pay 6 months at a time)". Then they are like "that's a lot of money, get a life noob". Then i say "Trust me $65 a month is nothing compared to my monthly food billed, mortgage, cable, GAS, and internet". They say "get a life you stupid noob, i'm only 14". Like you at that point there is no use talking to them cause they are too young to understand. Cause we all know KIDS (that is right KIDS) know EVERYTHING between 14-18 years old.

Last one: The other time someone just kept spamming me with questions when AV was going on. He was like "If you don't answer me i am going to report you to the gm for botting", stupid me "I am not botting". Him "Then how can you control all those guys". Me in the middle of bal fight don't answer him... Sends that to me 5 more times and then is like "going to report you". I was like "ok, i love talking to gm about multi boxing and they love when they get a ticket from people like you cause they can see me own alliance in av". He keeps on whispering me the whole bg, i got pissed and was like "i am fighting here, why don't you do the same instead of whispering me". If i was doing a shitty job in battle ground i would have reported him 5 x afk but that whole battle ground i was pushing forward.

[Alienenduro]

I have been report loads of times, to my knowledge i am the only multiboxer on my server and its constant "lol" "lol" "wow" "lol" how can i do that? you must be rich!

[suprafro]

Only been 70 for a few days now with my 5 box group, but have certainly received plenty of negititivty for it. I only reply to people I'm familiar with and like talking (guildies, buddies, etc) or the few random people that actually come off as sounding nice, everyone else I ignore by default...well I don't put them on ignore but I don't respond to them. I like this approach as I can just keep tabs on what they are saying. If they get really upset and its funny, I take an SS. My goal is too make a big collage, get a nice frame, and mabey hang it up at work

[Rin]

Lol, yeah I've received these messages too, but lately I've gotten mostly positive feedback. One of the best dialogues I had happened last night with a player who addressed me by saying "You pay $150/month?"

I replied, "Yeah."
He then replied to me, "Wow. Blizzard must love you."
I replied, "haha."
His reply, "I would love you... for $150/month" <- screenshot :P

He went on to tell me that one of his friends runs 5-accounts and he enjoys watching him tear $hit up.

Alas, getting back to your point - I honestly almost never read the messages that I get from people, unless they're being polite or if they have a question. Call it what you will, but when I don't say anything back, people tend to get more infuriated with the fact that I'm simply doing something that they either deem 'impossible', 'cheating', or something else. It's kind of funny to watch people complain; I get a kick out of it.

[willsquared]

The simple fact is that no matter what you are doing, 1 character or 5, if other people don't know how it's done, or want to be able to do it they'll complain.

The other simple fact is that learning to spot the 'kids' from the people who actually want to learn more is key.

I've gotten a wide array of whispers/emotes/yells from Horde AND Alliance players. Some whining, others curious as to how I'm doing what I'm doing. I have yet to receive the "you must be rich" whisper thankfully, but most of the players I seem to attract are the mature, curious crowd.

My usual whispers consist of "that's awesome," "teach me to be like you," or "2 times the gold must be nice." In which case I either choose to respond with information on what I'm doing, how I'm doing it, and why it's not against the TOS intilled by Blizzard.

It's all about the player base of your server, I guess. But it's better to just ignore someone who's annoying you, than to argue with them. After all, do you really want to argue with the same noob 5 times? :P`

[Babbaganoosh]

It bugs me when people accuse me of botting. If for no other reason than i feel like with a little information, they might change their outlook. Sadly, the misinformed people are the last ones to listen reason.

If people don't like it that i multi-box. Fine. But i at least want people to know why they hate me.

[Siaea]

I've actually made several in-game friends that started out as a simple "how're you doing that?". But, before I got to my 60s (1 bub from 68 now) I always got the 'noob' (to which I reply 'yep'), or 'cheater', and stuff like that. I also get /cheers from a lot of people now, including Alliance (mainly shaman, go figure). Another funny thing is "Bur" (what Horde sees when Alliance says "lol") and I just type 'bur' back, without turning off my keyclone. All 5 shaman saying bur makes for a funny screenshot.

What I find extremely amusing is the Alliance who watch me for a bit (such as the 70 rogue the other day in Terrokar, when I was 64), figure out which one is the 'leader', and attack her, thinking it'll screw me over. He attacked, caught 4 em/trink/cl and a forest of fire nova totems. He didn't bug me after that :p

There's also the 70 huntard (not a hunter) who kept attacking me in Nagrand the other morning, and dieing every time. I got about 12 hks from her. Couldn't ever figure out what her deal was.

[mmcookies]

my high school english teacher was right about many things
one of the things he used to say was "Teenagers are the lowest form of life"

there was a shining example of this just this morning in SSO

some random guy started whispering me about how sad i was and how he could two shot a mob without 6 toons (he apparently can't count)
so i replied "yah, i don't need a tank either"
his response was to ramble on (for several lines) about how he's destro and doesn't use a pet and generally how 1337 he was
at this point i whispered him "facepalm" since the dimwit was talking to my prot pally this whole time
then he made some last ditch remarks to sound cool and started ignoring me

[Hachoo]

I typically get very positive responses to multiboxing...one time I got a hate message from someone only I don't think it was towards multiboxing...

I was sitting in evergrove getting ready to hop a flight to Mok'nathal or whatever, and right before I took the flight someone on my faction says "I hate you and you're a loser".

So in midair I'm like "wtf?" I sent him a whisper saying "thats an awfully strong word to use on someone you don't even know"

To make a long story short he started claiming he knew all sorts of things about me just from seeing me in game, to which I responded "Now what could you possibly know about me other than the fact that I play a female orc shaman in a video game"?

After talking to him a bit more he basically made himself look like an idiot. Asked me what sex I am in real life to which I responded "None of your business" and he basically claimed that since I'm a male playing a female character I'm a loser and he hates me. So it wasn't even a complaint about the fact that I'm multiboxing, AND he had no proof on whether I am male or female. So after he said that I said "Thats all I needed to hear to prove that you're an idiot" and /ignored him :D

Aside from that I've only ever been harassed by one person in-game - on my own faction. I made a post about it awhile ago but he stole one of my kills and then every time we're in the same zone together he tries to make fun of me in /1, so I ignored him on all of my characters - hes a moron. Cool thing is usually everyone else defends me because I've helped everyone else in the zone against alliance, or helped them kill bosses/quest mobs by having them tag them and then DPSing them down, etc :)

[Pardall]

I have been report loads of times, to my knowledge i am the only multiboxer on my server and its constant "lol" "lol" "wow" "lol" how can i do that? you must be rich! Same. I think I am the only one active, because there was a 5 boxing guy, but he never came online again.
The stuff I hear is somewhat like the post author. Suddenly people start "go get a life", "loser ######", and things like this. It is fun tho.

One day one guy was saying a lot of sex crappy about me in general, I reported, GM answered in like 30 seconds, and the guy went offline. And like 2 hours later my beta key came up in e-mail. Just a good coincidence, but: do a good action and you are invited. :D

[NashTitan]

It is the nature of the human beast to want what it cant have. Once the realization that they cannot have it sets in then they turn on the desired item and now want to destroy it so that others cannot have it or benefit from it.

Multi-boxing is still very new to the majority of players in WOW. Access to it and the opportunity to multi-box is available to everyone. However the majority are clueless on how to set it up. So instead of taking the time to research and learn how to do it, they would rather fume and vent and point fingers at those of us who can do it.

[MrWoW]

I was dual-boxing my combo (spriest/warlock - level 49 at the time) last Saturday in Hinterlands (MB Zone!!) and I was doing the Princess quest (Wanted: Vile Priestess Hexx and Her Minions) when a level 50 Warrior with a level 70 Hunter ran by me. I buffed them up with Fort on my Priest and even jumped out of Shadowform to throw a heal to top-up the Warrior. I then see the following in chat:

Warrior: "LOL Noob can't play the game by himself so he needs to buy a 2nd account for help to play the game!"
Me: "Says the guy with a level 70 doing all the quests for him..."

He didn't have much else to say after that. I see him back in Raventusk shortly after and right in front of him I dinged from level 49-51 by handing in about 5 quests and he was still level 50. All he says this time is "/reported for hacks, enjoy your ban loser!!" I didn't bother replying and went on my way until he started sending me whispers with over the top vulgarity at which point enough was enough and I reported/ignored.

About an hour later his level 70 buddy sends me a whisper asking if I reported his friend since he got a 72-hour suspension. I responded "No, but if you find out who did tell him/her that all of Azeroth says Thanks!" He replies: "Who's Azeroth?" :rolleyes: And I'm the noob....

Ahahaha, oh man, this is priceless. I can die now. You win, MrWoW, you win. :)

[Marious]

Thanks for the replies folks, and the thing is most of the people that are aholes its right after I buffed them with my team. No "Thanks." Or anything just the negative comments and I'm like damn you all are mest up at least thank me before calling me a noob.

And for the most part I just ignore them, I mean its a game and I enjoy it but just a downer to be talked about negatively regardless of where it is at. And I thought the same thing about the lock that was out there with his low level friend, so your doing quest for a low level gratz to you buddy. But even though they talk and talk I will continue to do it since I enjoy it and when I dont then I will log one of my 70's and solo :)

You all continue to enjoy your multiboxing experience and for those of you that are new to it dont let the aholes discourage you from doing it.

[Mobo]

I haven't been MB'ing for a long time, but most of the questions i got was:
"You doing the RaF thingy?"
"yeah"
"Nice! Is it worth it?"

I think people are more and more aware of this practice and are starting to accept it. Well, on my server anyway :rolleyes:

[Soundeyes]

Hey, I've been lurking for a bit around here and this post made me want to reply.

I've definitely noticed that players on both factions treat me a lot differently then when I was playing solo. In PvP situations people love it and I'll get whispers like "hey that's fckn awesome!" and horde will go out of there way to gang up one me or camp me if its not in a BG. Little do they know that whenever they camp me I have a secondary fivebox squad to play. While they hover over those corspes for 10 mins, I'm already inside an instance getting more XP :)

However in normal questing and PvE people aren't as cool about it. I've gotten plenty of "you must have too much money" or just "you're retarded" comments. Fortunately the accusations of botting and threats of reporting have been few and far between. Seems most people on my server know the difference between a boxer and a botter.

The previous replies regarding basic human psychology are right on the money here. Especially when it comes to the teenagers.

Most hillarious whisper so far: "IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DOING SOMETHING IYOU DONT POST BE DOING"

[Hachoo]

That reminds me of something funny...I was running around Hinterlands a long time ago and someone was like "WHOA! Theres 5 of you!"

I was like "what!?? I don't see 5, I only see 1!" this went on for a minute while i played a long, thoroughly confusing him. Was quite funny and I never did tell him I was 5 boxing.

[Kedash00]

i guess i'm really lucky, when people start giving me crap about boxing i will point them to Prepared and say "there is a guy boxing 32 guys, go check that guy out lol.

Sry Prepared :P

[Byrthor]

I guess I'm lucky too. On Cenarius I've only run into people who think it's cool or into other multi-boxers. In one hour of questing in STV I saw no fewer than 8 boxers running around. When I was a lowbie in Redridge I ran into someone else running a warlock/spriest team. We were both the same level, both using the lock as the "Leader", both wearing the same gear, and both doing the same quest. I've got a screenshot of us after I said "Ohhh, this is awkward"

lol i bet that was wierd

[ObesAU]

I have only had 1 hate tell from "alliance"... I get spits from horde but whatever.

Most are either confused or interested.
There is a few people that sent me grats tells when team1 hit 60. (they disturb me a bit tho... stalkers).

[Gomotron]

I wonder if there's a difference between PvP and PvE servers? On Bronzebeard, I rarely get hate tells, but I will sometimes see people talking in /say that I "overhear."



The most ironic statement that I have seen made is, of course, the always popular "...must have no life." Typically made by a level 70 character in full S4 gear. About my level 48 group that has a total of 40 hours played.

I usually /lol to that.

[Psybercop]

I've found on Arygos that for evey 1 hate tell I get 3 or 4 decent conversations about boxing. I had one today, it started off by the person asking me how many I boxed and I was fighting a whole mess of stuff so I missed it at first, his next tell said it's cool i won't report you my bud boxes 3. After that tho we had a decent conersation about it.

I also do the bur for alliance toons as well, anyone know if it comes out lol on the other side for them? I have wondered this when they go by. lol..er...bur.

[Wide]

I get alot of whispers, mostly good ones but also some negative from time to time. Have tried alot of different things to the hate whispers, and it seems the "nice day to you too" reply works the best, most times they feel bad and appologize. But some people are just plain stupid - i ignore those.

I remember about a week ago outside Orgrimmar (Brew festival place), got a few hate whispers again. Then a party of alliance showed up and started nuking people. I was at a distance so they didnt see me, ran behing a tent and started nuking them down one by one, until the entire party was down (BT/T6 gear) - my 5 shamans was lvl67 by then. People target to cheer and laugh at me (possitive way), guess it was because i had the balls to face them, even when i was undergeared and 3 levels below them. They resssed and i killed them again.

I left the arena about 5min later and got the crying/sad emotes from the other players.

Nice to get some possitive feedback from time to time :D

[Tasty]

I hate you Ron Burgundy, I HATE YOU!

[Dooz]

shit my daughter is going to be multi-boxing when she is 10 then

made me lol, my daughter is 16 and I tried to get her to play. If only keeping them a virgin were that simple. I'd have her play wow into her twenties. She thinks my boys and I are nerds and she makes fun of me and calls me "the warlock," and my computer room a "Command Center." I'm really not that geeky as far as you know.

As far as the insults go, tell them that "your mom wants you to learn to hit the hamper, she's tired of picking up your laundry." They will be puzzled, and think you are somebody they know.

[thinus]

lol

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me.

[Jamien]

hahaha. Not sure about the alliance side (Tasty! Grrr) but as Horde on Frostmourne I get a fair few "lol" and "wow"s. It gets very annoying tho, run through a city to get mail/skills/AH stuff and run out to the zep to find about 5 people trailing saying "oh oh drop totems!" or something.

Last night I played my Mages for a bit, and with the new level water it only makes 2 at a time (zzzz!) so I was standing there making 2 stacks of water from 4 mages to give to the priest, then I had to make 2 stacks each for the mages, as I hate running out of water.
In the 2 minutes it took I had about 5 or 6 people running around me at the sepulcher. That place is normally deserted, but noooo suddenly everyone wanted to stand around watching my mages evocate :)

[Freakinred]

I'm on an RP-PvP server and I'm fairly certain I'm the only boxer on my faction. I think there's a 5-shammy group Horde-side.



I generally get a lot of "wtf?" stuff. I've tried to make my presence reasonably well known on the server forums and have developped an interesting RP backstory for my chars. All in all, I think I'm iewed fairly positively.



I've never had a single @hate thread directed at me... which kinda sucks, because I've destroyed so many people. Especially leveling in Outland and killing people 5+ levels higher than me.



I just dinged 70 the other day though, and figure I'll get more attention when I start doing my dailies on the isle. The isle is, more than anything else, the center of attention for our server. Everyone revolves around PvP there, it seems.

[David]

My best one:

Standing in SW near the AH with a friend. Some low lvl comes up to me.

Player: Your playing 5 accounts?
Me: Yes
Player: Omg cool
Player: Isn`t it expensieve
Me: Not really
Player: OMG your rich, you pay like 700euro
My friend: more like 70 :-)
Player: ohh
Player: really?

[Wide]

Haha, just another kid who have no idea how much it cost to play :p

[Saevio]

Whenever someone insults me for multiboxing, I always figure they're just trying to get a reaction out of me, so I simply agree with anything they say, nobody expects it and it just ends up pissing them off even more, plus if they go too far, I can report them.

[ZorbaTheGeek]

I have been report loads of times, to my knowledge i am the only multiboxer on my server and its constant "lol" "lol" "wow" "lol" how can i do that? you must be rich!Certainly not the only one on Bronze Dragonflight, and unless you run <ALT-TAB> or <Multi Box> we are at least four.

I've had my fair share of hate but the great majority of responses have been overwhelmingly positive. Lots of curiosity and loads of "Should make one disc, one holy and spec the warrior Arms" type comments. I'm happy to put on a show by dancing in the bars, I've added an /assist macro to my leaderless setup so I can "drive-by buff" my current leaders target with smart buff, and if you find youself solo and competeing with my quad for a kill quest I will invite you.

My friends list has grown considerably since I started and we've gained a few raiders in my mains guild too.

Those simple "WTF?" comments just get a pre-prepared hotkey, but if you follow it up with conversation I will talk.

However, haters be warned. Insult or use vulagarity towards me at your peril. I'm on my 4th RaF group and the patience has gone, the /report goes in swiftly.

[TheBigBB]

However, haters be warned. Insult or use vulagarity towards me at your peril. I'm on my 4th RaF group and the patience has gone, the /report goes in swiftly. Yeah, I had mentioned this before, but the one guy a couple weekends ago who decided to whisper me with a couple nasty vulgarities found himself unable to play WoW with his time off. How sad for him! I saw his questing partner all alone an hour later.

[Jheusse]

still in the draenai starting areas, have only gotten two comments, one saying something to the effect of "ha, you must be twinking" and the other "nice, I run two guys, a hunter and a pocket healer"

Silver Hand is an RP server, so it'll be interesting to see how the reception is as I grow them up.

[Gorthu]

I haven't played wow much. but when people threaten to report me, because i don't talk to them in other games, they are breaking the EULA. If they persist, I report them for harassment and threats. GMs tend to talk to them more then me and it doesn't talk long for the word to get around to leave me the hell alone.

[merujo]

i want to share this one:

everyday i log on wow theres these 2 guys. these 2 guys are a mage and a warrior, both 70 without relation at all. one sits all day on hes tiger mount at IF AH, the other PvP's all the day, and hes at IF Battlemasters. These 2 guys are the most extreme example of kids who are so jealous they would kill just to make the same i do.

Whenever i do chain heal stars in IF, there comes the mage. I see him like one of those walking guards, only that hes 70's and is mounted all day. And then the sequence of harassement is always the same, and i just end up laughing and laughing on teamspeak with some friends, cause u can see the guy is tottaly pissed and jealous:
gz no lifer, have fun at macdonalds.
oh yeah, a star, ur the greatest.
get beaten at school, and be the top at wow! ur the best!
showoff
too much showoff?
why is this showoff?
get a life seriously

this is actually funny because this guy is ALWAYS in IF, ALWAYS. lunch hour, all night, everytime, and he always comes near me saying sh!t lol
need to point out that, i never answered the poor guy, he must be crazy by now.

The other guy is the warrior, and the lines are always these:

whats the point?
u have no friends?
u need to do this because u dont have a life.
seriously ur sad.

this guy is online the whole day. the whole freakin day playing wow! and im the freak ahahah
again, no response back, hes just getting worst everytime he sees me.

these 2 are the top, no one else on the server worries so much to talk that way to me, and the way they do it, and the time they play wow daily, its being jealous. their jealous about how the same epics they have get more attention on me :P

anyways, most ppl already know me on the server, the most active ones, top guilds, pvp and pve usualy talk to me, more like if i was just another guild and they want to make contact, and i like that. most ppl actualy understand how i do it, and why. i always say i do it for the challenge, was tired of high end pve. its the thruth.

[atomik]

Yes, it happens but it's still hard to get used to. Constantly getting hate whispers is unsettling. Anytime I see another boxer (which is rare) I go out of my way to /wave /hug or just chat. The positive interaction always raises my spirits. There's one particular boxer on my server (Area 52) Draenei shamans (female toons I think) who I would keep running into in Tanaris. Despite being Horde I would still exchange pleasantries with the enemy. Funny how that happens sometimes.

A fine example of WoW Kiddies at their best. ^^

[Marious]

Well just wanted to add to this, since I had a positive experience yesterday.

I am now 44 almost 45 on my second tri-team, should be 45 after I turn in the carrot quest which I got done last night before going to bed, /sigh did not go to bed till 1230 getting this run done, it was fun I got all the collection quest done in there except for one of my char's she did not get her troll sweat drop but she almost done wont take long a few kills tonight should have her done with that.

So I went and started the Pirate hats + killing pirate quest and I run into a bunch of alliance there is like 5-7 there I was surprised to say the least never really see much when I go there 1-2 people sure but that's about it. Anyways some shaman is there and his like 'Hi Triboxer!" So I buff him and the hunter he was with and he thanks me and says how great the buffs are, the hunter said nothing but the shaman did, well I thought the entusiasm he showed and the fact that he at least thanked me was great. I healed him a bunch of times and his hunter friend also. The others I buffed and when they needed a heal I threw a heal there way, none thanked me but hey it was enough that the shaman did, I could of let them be killed but I'm not like that if I see an alliance that needs help I will help even if they hate.

And it was great to go to Tanaris and then to ZF I did like 3 levels there last night, so soon I can leave the place and move on to other places, I should be 47 by tonight I think and will hit Hinterlands as a lot have suggested recently. Then on to Searing Gorge. Should be 60 by weekend maybe or close to 60 then back to team 1 to level to 70 they only need 5 levels.

Yes, it happens but it's still hard to get used to. Constantly getting hate whispers is unsettling. Anytime I see another boxer (which is rare) I go out of my way to /wave /hug or just chat. The positive interaction always raises my spirits. There's one particular boxer on my server (Area 52) Draenei shamans (female toons I think) who I would keep running into in Tanaris. Despite being Horde I would still exchange pleasantries with the enemy. Funny how that happens sometimes.Like lots of people have previously stated in other posts, the hate dies down as you get higher up in level. Now that my guys are almost 60 I've been enjoying nothing but positive remarks everywhere. The only hate I've seen in a long while was in Hammerfall by another boxer, of all things!

Last month I was only running 4 of my team when I see this Warrior/Shaman duo with the same naming convention with the Shaman on follow. I'm thinking "cool another boxer." Since I rarely see boxers I buffed these two guys, then I spread out my team so he could see that the buffs came from another boxer. Well, instead of getting a thank you, or "Wow another boxer, or a hello, or anything like that, this guy looks at my 4 toons and states, "5 is better :)". I guess the smiley face was supposed to gloss over the insult maybe? idk. Whatever.

I could have blasted him with a myriad of responses like ragging about he/she was only playing two, but I bit my tongue, lol'd and ran off.

I just don't understand why you bother engaging with these people.

Ignore them and let them vent off enough steam to the point where they say something reportable. Then report them and /glow in the knowledge they're either getting a warning, a ban or at least a step up towards one.
Or install a mod that only lets guildies and friends talk to you if you want to go that far.

Just....don't talk to them.

Is it just me?

there is an old saying "Never argue with an idiot. They will lower you down to him and then beat you with experience". I have lost many battle to these idiots. Maybe it is just me, but every time i am like "Maybe they will understand", then again sense when do kids listen. My dad had this "tough love knowledge" where i would be like:
No dad your wrong
Yes i am right
no dad your wrong
yes i am right
no dad your wrong
--Slap across the ass--
Yes dad your right

Too bad you cannot do that any more :(

I guess I'm lucky too. On Cenarius I've only run into people who think it's cool or into other multi-boxers. In one hour of questing in STV I saw no fewer than 8 boxers running around. When I was a lowbie in Redridge I ran into someone else running a warlock/spriest team. We were both the same level, both using the lock as the "Leader", both wearing the same gear, and both doing the same quest. I've got a screenshot of us after I said "Ohhh, this is awkward"I get the feeling that the generally positive attitude I met on Eldre'Thalas was due to this as well. Most people would ignore me, some would buff my group, others would make positive comments or ask about how I was doing it. Only one person was negative and after calling me "cheater" and "lame" she ran along on her way. After a while I noticed that there were *lots* of players who were at least dual-boxing. Some of them were high-levels plowing through mobs for their twinks, others were two/three-boxing same-level characters.

The complainers like to say that as more people do it, it will become less tolerated, but it seems to be the opposite from my experience-- as more people do it, the rest of the players become accustomed to it and it doesn't bother them for the most part.

Why even respond?
