The distinct advantages of boxing.......

[Xzin]

I will go first.

No random group invites for gold spammers...

[Jusa]

It beats Jumpin the planks on top the Org bank after a raid...

[Xzin]

Never needing to deal with the broken LFG system.

[Alcsaar]

Actually having fun in battlegrounds - when I get my 4 shamans up I'll be grinding lots of AV for their season 1 sets.

[Ripper]

I get to argue with myself over loot.

[Ellay]

Focus fire. BOOM

[ivoti]

edit: damn you ellay you stole mine :lol:

[Xzin]

"One-shotting" players.

[ivoti]

"one-shotting" a mob and a player at the same time

[Xzin]

"One-shotting" multiple mobs and players at the same time.

[Kyudo]

Quite enjoying having my own guild bank tbh :D

And with Mages/Locks, you get a very portable taxi service.

[Heenan]

Not having to run the heat at all during the winter ;)

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Being the only solo warlock that can heal, rez, double-debuff his own damage and carry more than 100 soul shards. ;)

You gain Humor

[Hippieman]

You get enough toons to form your own dance squad.

[empeha]

>500g/h

[Nimyx]

Being able to take the game at whatever pace you want so you can actually "enjoy" the content around you.


Not having to put up with some jerk that constantly wipes the group.

and if there is a jerk wiping the group its you.

[Vyndree]

Its a ganking deterent.


Ganking the gankers back.

I killed a 65 lock today at level 50. Tru story. I <3 totem of wrath. MWAHAHAHAHA

[yarr]

good thread :D

You can put it on your resume as "experienced multitasker"

[laeelin]

Playing 2 hours a night no longer means "no instances"

[Pulphero]

Never having to wait for that one dude to go fly to XX to Train Restock or find said Quest.

Unless that was you...

Not having to wait for that one disconnected player to come back... if they ever come back... how long should we wait?

Might need to check your other screens if these still happens.

No having that arguement about need vs greed - or that one Ninja priest that needs the freak purple BoE sword...

That one guy who knows everything about the instance and how to pull and what spells to cast will never be wrong because its you.

You can take the time to do that quest in said instance that nobody likes to do, dude I need 2 more XX can we go again?

personal favorite - you dont have to stop the instance to look for another player because you kicked the dude who ninja loot, knew too much, or de... I have waited HOURS for that "Hey I will just so and so if they want to come along." or when they say "OMW" and it still takes them 30 mintues to get there cause they went to BFD not BRD or BRS or BWL... N0obs

[kllrwlf]

If I want to keep running the same instance until I get the drop that I've been wanting ... i can.

5x the bag space to carry all my loot.

[sway]

The command /train makes a bit more sense...

[Alcsaar]

>500g/h

I want to know what you farm, and with what.

[bbj]

if he's a 70, then the daily quests can do that for you.

you get 11-18 gold per quest, and you can do 5-6 of the easier ones in less than an hour

multiply by 5 chars, that almost 100g per quest handin.

One of my guildies is doing this with 6 toons ( all on the same account ). Theyre also all cloth specialists, and he turns out a 20-slot bag every 4 days. If he was boxing them he'd be able to do it even faster.

[kalih]

You finally get to run gnomeregan!

[Bravo]

Being part of a good community with great fellow boxers

[smalltanker]

watching the in home Omen threat meter say I have wife aggro when she sees all 3 toons up on one screen and the two kids watching TV instead of playing WOW with me... ugghhh no mitigation for that one.

[Xzin]

Simple solution. Add 2 more and let the kids round out the 5 box :)

[Zseth]

You finally get to run gnomeregan!


YOU NEVER HAVE TO GO TO GNOMEREGAN AGAIN!!!

GNOMERGAN!?!?!

/wrists


WHAT HE SAID x 5

[Zseth]

Actually, some part of me really wants to see a level 70 / 80 Heroic Gnomergon. :twisted:

Kinda like a part of me wonders what it would be like to jump from a really tall building...

[aetherg]

I actually liked Gnomeregan. Doing it in a PUG with the OH HI2U ALARM BOT OOPS LOLOLOL guy is what makes people want to gouge their eyes out.

[kalih]

The items are just so awful and the bosses are so spread out. I cleared it once so when I can say I ran all content at the appropriate level. Then I never went back.

[sway]

i have the alarm-o-bot sound "warning, warning, intruder alert, intruder alert" as my sms audio :lol:

[Skuggomann]

All ze gold!

Only neding to find 1 guildy to go to a instance (i 4-box) and they always say yes becus they know its only gona take 45 min tops :)

Baaaagspace!

Creating 10 Spellcloth every 4 day's

Getting 500 arena points a weak and not even have to be good in arena to get it :)

Making a train wen your on a flying mount and flying around :)

[Ryan]

Instant celebrity. (Not sure how this applies to Magtheridon, but on my server I'm constantly getting tells, people watching me, and often the topic of discussion in AV)

[Slats]

Know what you mean about celebrity.

"Oh wow its you! My guild talks about you and now I've finally seen you, wow thats so cool."

I tell most people I get into a converation with that what I am doing is quite popular and there is a whole community who follow it at this website.

[kadaan]

There's just something aesthetically pleasing seeing multiple characters who look the same doing the same thing at the same time. My 3 shaman are 29 already and I _still_ love hitting my spread-out key and casting lightning shield :).

[amalgam]

Actually, some part of me really wants to see a level 70 / 80 Heroic Gnomergon. :twisted:

I'm still waiting on a 25-man Murloc raid dungeon. I want to kill three-story Murlocs and loot heads that never drop for some inane quest again, even though every single Murloc has a head in the instance.

[Slats]

One of the SSC bosses spawns murlocs.

Forget which one.

[Zoroaster]

One of the SSC bosses spawns murlocs.

Forget which one.

Morogrim Tidewalker.

There are tons of bonuses for multi-boxing. Different play style, more challenging, easier to farm, and the best - no more LFG!!

[dniem]

Following a leveling guide and doing quest as if they were nothing.
Sure some of the pick up item quests take a while, but it's much faster than if you were just 1 toon anyway.

Doing instances alone, so much fun.
This applies only to shamans, 5xgrounding totems sooooooo OOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!

[smalltanker]

I enjoy actually being able to kill stuff with a holy priest... errr x3. Its funny watching mobs not be able to kill a priest due to having 3 renews + 3 heals flowing in as you are smiting/SW:Ping the mobs down. Then I spoiled it by dropping in a pally tank and now there are only two future SPs... :(

[Xzin]

5xgrounding totems sooooooo OOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!

Less OP now though. Sheep, dots break it.

I like using it when Suvega brings in his pvp mage to handle some particularly nasty lvl70 ganker.

Raid group, throw paladin in 2nd group, 4x grounding totem 4x tremor totem for suvega' mage.
