So of late, ie the past 3 days I have gotten about over 30+ lvl 1s to send me tells after bgs saying I am a fag ect and that boxing is going against the Eula in the Expansion. So I was curious as I couldnt find any concrete information on the subject yet the forums have had several posts saying that this indeed was going to happen. Does anyone else have any information on this?

saying I am a fag ect Their info on boxing being banned is about as concrete as the info they have on you being a fag etc. Don't give them a second thought

Multiboxing has really taken off since RAF started, so there are more people who tend to "hate" it than anything else. Mostly they are jealous and don't understand what it is. Just ignore them.

I was 4 boxing my 60 shammy team in hellfire, some random 70 rogue comes up and helps me out with an elite kill (very nice I thought) - his comment was "wow I've never seen a four boxer before, they're all 2 boxers" - I tghen explained I was actually a 5 boxer and was just levelling up the shammies for my 70 pally - he thought it was amazing.
So there you go, RAF has spawned loads of 2 boxers, I see them quite often on my realm. Now if only they'd stop whispering me to wipe their asses for them.

I have no problem with the hate, its all this stuff about it being against the Eula in the Expac that I wanna know is true or not.

It's not true that it goes against the EULA. In the Wrath of the Lich King beta EULA, there is no mention of any multiboxxing or that you can't have more than one account. I have 9 multiboxxed level 80 pvp characters in the beta. Even took them on a battle in the new battle area and asked if it was ok with everyone there that I box it before I started. They all said fine as long as you can help us, etc. When they saw the 9 fire elementals at the fort during the battle, most were saying 'wtf?', 'wow', etc.
Also there is no mention any where from any Blizzard rep about it being or going to be banned. Some players that don't multibox are making it up because as another posted here, they are jealous.

Don't take this the wrong way okay :). You box right and that means you have 'a clue.' How could you even comtemplate believing a single word any of these people say? That based solely off the way they act.

This is false. All boxers are fags making their info on that part concrete, but boxing getting banned isn't happening so their info there isn't concrete.
BTW my source for our fagness is mostly from level 1s who studied the subject instead of leveling up into the double digits. At least thats the only logical explanation as to how they know so much while being that low of a level.
I'd have loved it if nmagrig replied and said "btw I'm gay.", just for the irony.
It's a shame that so many players believe a rumor without verifying its source. They're going to be in for a nasty surprise when the expansion comes and we're still around. Expect to see some "Bizzard lied about banning multiboxers" threads in the near future.

Actually I did say I was indeed gay and how did you know. However, upon sending my first reponse came the "multifrfagg is ignoring you" bit. But he kept on talking to me even though I couldnt talk back lol.

The RAF program and mutli-person mounts almost scream for people to try out multi-boxing. As long as you are not using illegal programs, etc. I see no reason why this will ever change. I wouldn't worry about it...let them hate!

QFT.
Your first words to such antagonistic words should be: "SS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN".
I'll bet money on the fact that they can't show you any proof to back up their claims. If Blizzard wanted to ban us, they'd tell us -- and you'd be sure you'd read it all over dual-boxing.com if it were true.

I think we should give people really messed up titles that show up under their name on forum posts if they post unconfirmed rumors! Something big and flashy would be best. :thumbsup:

Especially when rumors of a multiboxing ban in WotLK have been proven false ('http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=10972107286&postId=109708602517&sid=1#5') already.

We already see it all over here when it isn't true.

Even if multiboxing get prohibited by the new terms of EULA, all our fellows multiboxers would have their right to MB preserved, as they started mbxing when it was permitted. i donīt know how you name this situation in english, but its something like "adquired right".
So, no headache..

So, no headache..You do realize that you have no right to play the game? Blizzard allows you to play their game, and if you reject their EULA or TOS you are not allowed to play the game. You don't own the software, the characters, the items or access to the game. You play solely at Blizzard's discretion to allow you to play which they can revoke for any or no reason at any time.
Rights are not acquired just because you've done something before. If that was true, the first time someone committed a new crime they'd never be charged and since they did it before, they could continue to do so after there was a law against it. That would be insane.

Yes, but when it's true it always comes with a source to cite. ;)

My guild leader logged on last night for the first time in like 3-4 months, (ya he probably should hand the lead to someone else but oh well) and saw me 5 boxing, he's known i do it forever but never actually seen me doin it, so he added a new rank "The Mad Hatter" and moved all 30 some odd of my toons to that rank. i lol'd
he's like "you're crazy!!!!" then a few minutes later i get demoted to this new rank lol
weird part is, its the 2nd lowest rank in the guild and i have access to officer notes now ;)
but ya i like having the unique label. i dont multibox to show off but it is fun sometimes to be identified as unique.
