P.M.E.

or Proper Multi-boxing Etiquette.

It feels good when you que into a battleground and everyone is excited you are there. Things like "WoW', 'Multiboxer FTW!1!!' 'Alright Follow the beam of death squad... etc" make you feel welcome, when people cheer as you defend towers and take bunkers all on your own, it especially feels good if someone remembers you from a previous BG and speaks of your pwnage.

Unfortunately for us New Multiboxers that are just now gearing out (dinged 70 4 days ago) you are going to hear a lot of boo's and hisses. About 30% of people are going to hate you because you give off a sort of chinese-gold-farmer Aura. Most skilled people won't care. But, like its been explained over and over, some people are just looking for an excuse to why they suck, and you stand out like a flaming (or shocking?) target.

So here is my little guide on how to properly handle yourself in WoW as a multiboxer. Feel free to add your own(Humor intended).

Rules for Rudeness

What to do with rude comments about in /bg chat?
Rule #1
Just ignore it.

Rule #2
Srsly, ignore it.

Don't argue with a fool, or you will end up like him. If you respond in /bg and start an argument in /bg people are going to hate you and the idiot but they won't remember him they will remember the cloned army of destruction though. It just makes things worse. Blizzard has a history of appeasing the masses so if we become hated by enough people, you just don't know what they will do. I don't think they will ever make MB illegal, but again who knows. They might find ways to make it less enjoyable. (if that is even possible)

Things to reply in /bg chat
nothing

Actions to take
Have fun.
Srsly the people that are QQ'n are miserable people. You win by lol while you drop people like totems in BG's and having a good time. If people saying rude things about you bothers you just /ignore.

Ok on to the fun stuff.

Rudeness in /whisper. :)

My favorite thing to do is to just ignore and go on playing, but sometimes I'm in the mood to reply with a quick little quip then ignore. Here is a list of my favorites. Feel free to share any if any.

LOL What a waste of money... (or something like it.)

I'm sorry you're poor. /ignore
Yeah I told your Mom the same thing last night. /ignore
That's what Obama (or McCain your choice) said about trying to educate people like you. /ignore
Somebody need a hug? /hug /ignore
/trade 2c /whisper No that was a waste of money... /ignore
I bet your mom does not think that any more about abortion since you were born. /ignore (don't use this one it makes you feel bad inside lol)

LOL Loser what a waste of time...

Idiot. /ignore
Hug? /ignore
What? /ignore
You're like my BFF how can you say such things? /ignore
Thanks for sharing. /ignore
Good Story. /ignore
How did you know I was a Red Sox fan? /ignore
Tell me how you really feel Timmy and don't hold back those tears... /ignore
NOT TRUE! I lost 10 pounds on Jenny Craig!!! /ignore

Your wasting spaces fag... (srsly it's you're)
I'm sorry I don't speak retard. /ignore
N o t h i s i s. /ignore
Obviously something your first grade English teacher thought about you. /ignore
I haven't been gay in months. /ignore
Want a prison hug? /ignore
Orz <~~~~ you /ignore

Thanks for the loss... or haxor FTL!!! (at beginning or middle of game)
You're welcome :) /ignore
Math really isn't one of your strengths, huh? /ignore
Dude... I was drunk it was all her, you know how your mom gets when I wear my bicycle shorts./ignore
QQ group hug? /ignore
I'm grateful, that you're grateful. /ignore


I try to stay as peaceful as I can, just lately I am surprised at how many morons are out there with nothing better to do than to hate, fester, and *blank* and moan. Simply amazing. They normally shut up the next time around because they scored 22k damage 31 HK's and 11 deaths to my 100k+ damage 80+hk 3-5 deaths on each shaman in mostly blues and greens. I think it is important to be better than others when the resort to insult's and such, but who's to say we can't have a little fun : )

That's what Obama (or McCain your choice) said about trying to educate people like you. /ignore If the internet was mine I would willingly give it to you! Thats just AWESOME lol :D

[valkry]

I liked both mum calls, but I don't bother to ignore people, shiny purple text doesn't scare/annoy/bother/sidetrack me.

I also hate people who put in the last word then instantly ignore so they can't reply, it's low imo.

Just pretend like the whispers never even happened. I myself like to reply though, although some people might see you as an idiot for replying, tohers see you as having no spine for not replying, true story lol. But then again, I don't care what other people think about me, so I reply how I want. usually depends if I can be bothered turning off AHK lol.

[Apophysis]

/agreed.

Like it or not, when we are logged in and playing we are the ambassador's of the community. Maturity and calm-assertiveness must rule the day. There are people in-game that are watching us like hawk's; just waiting for that one screw up in language or action to report us. Childish for sure but nonetheless true.

That said, I'm guilty of responding to rude /whispers with, "hey, its cheaper than my Porsche payment..." more than a few times when people insist on going on and on about how expensive it must be to multibox.

[Schwarz]

Once In a bluemoon I will get tells from someone and go completely off on them. Generally it is me pointing out a spelling error and telling them to get an education. Then they might be able to land a good job and $75 won't be a big deal. You can only take soo many hate tells before you flip out.

In general put cool shows on for people/help them out (heal them or kill there tagged targets for them) and people will like you and defend you in /1 or /2.

My most recent comeback to the expensive comment has been "I hope one day you land a good job and $75 won't be that big of a deal to you"

[suprafro]

hey, its cheaper than my Porsche payment..."

win :D

[Littleburst]

hey, its cheaper than my Porsche payment..."win :Dlol :D

I am pretty succesfull at making the cryers look more retarded then they allready were. Had quite some practice :P

Their lack of brains/retardness makes me laugh more then something else, so the more of it the better.

[Skuggomann]

[valkry]

I still haven't had any hate from people in my AVs :( maybe BG9 is more accepting or something lol.

[Tasty]

I still haven't had any hate from people in my AVs :( maybe BG9 is more accepting or something lol.The last wsg I went into people didn't seem to mind me too much. I was the only one to actually cap a flag as well lol :P

Awesome, that's 10pm server time, plenty of time :)

[Tasty]

Low End Arena (not Welfare!) epics are good. I can't be bothered with even 10 games these days so I just skip arena seeing as I already have semi okayish gear. Such a hassle

[Pikey]

LOL Valk... tasty... you guys can use my vent if you want so you don't have to talk to each other through forum replies :P

[Tasty]

LOL Valk... tasty... you guys can use my vent if you want so you don't have to talk to each other through forum replies :PIts multi boxing related discussion...ish...esque

[valkry]

I'm at work otherwise I would be talking to him on MSN.

Well, back on topic, a memorable uote from a guildie of mine last night while we were ganking on IQD...

"kek
kek
kek
kek
kek
how do you like that kek spam"

Something along those lines as he demolished horde lol.

[Tasty]

That horde was such a pain lol even when you gank him over and over its just kek kek kek... I think he figured out how to actually still win even though he lost

[valkry]

I had a lock floating above me once who I had defeated earlier after attacking me. I seen him start flying down to do his stupid aoe fear an he ran smack into 5x EM+CL, died in midair...good times lol.

Imo, that P.M.E. can be renamed to propper human behaviour, shouldn't be limited to multi-boxers.

TBH, I reackon there are more "so many immature players on wow" people than there are immature people. Same goes for "so many noobs" and actual noobs.

[Tasty]

I haven't seen a real 'noob' in ages. They're all I need 2g for skills or 10gplz or can you run me through this or port me to there or help me with this ON AND ON AND ON. And they say plz too! Thats like nails on a chalkboard.

[valkry]

I gave a newb 2g once for new skills after he asked me nicely. Turns out he had a main and didn't want to log over to it because it was in the middle of woop woop away from a mailbox. He sent me 50g in the mail the next day witha message "thanks for the 2g yesterday"

[Tasty]

Lol! sweet deal :D
