Requesting SS of GMs that multibox

[lans83]

In a nutshell, I'm asking that everyone that's willing try to get a GM or Blizzard employee to approach them at one point in person (in-game of course) with atleast one of their multiboxing teams for a screenshot we can pretty much frame (or sticky) on here for all to see. Here's how we'd go about requesting it. File a ticket in your own words addressed to any GM on your server that may infact multibox either while on the clock, or on their own time. You can direct them here to this site if need be, they can post their own SS here, or show up in game for you to take a screenshot with them. Preferably with your own team as well. I don't keep up on the WoW forums, so if anyone wants to start up a thread on there and keep up with it on there they can. Just make sure you direct them to post their screenshots here or post a link to their links/SS they post on the forums there. I'd like to see their setups as well, if they software/hardware box, pics of their home/work setup if they want to share that info as well like we do here. But mostly ingame screenshots would work so we can get a collection going.

Blizzard Employee's generally hide their identities aso to not be massively bugged by players. I doubt you'll ever get one to do that.

damn, didn't even think about this. oh well, was a nice thought to try.

There have been blues who've posted about their own multiboxing experiences though. Search through the blue posts if you care. Maybe you can find your information through that route.

In my early days, when i was playing my hunter i got one to show itself so i could take a screenshot - Alltho I was playing solo at the hunter then. I asked every time i had a GM ticket, and it took quite alot before one sayd yes.

I think this is because the software GM's use they arent logged into the game as a character at all times when answering tickets. And ofcourse, because of they'r limited time..

You can get the GM chat, stating they box.

You can a screenshot/video of a boxer.
But there's no way of knowing which boxers are also GM's.

I'm quite sure, some of our dual-boxing members also happen to be GM's.
This is a large site, with a ton of membership and the best boxing information for warcraft.
However, we will not be able to tell who is a GM and who is not.

They are prohibited from playing on the same server that they GM on.
And are not allowed to mention they are a GM, while on their own toons.

Thanks for the replies on this. I didn't think much when I submitted the thread, but this should've been common sense to me.

I once multiboxed GM`s:o

Talking with 5 GM`s at the same time during the evening. I reported someone 5x during the morning because of pointless insults. Guess during the evening multiple started their shift.

I did that once too, heh, got a bit tired of explaining the same thing over and over though, and in the end they told me it'll get just as much priority with one report, so I didn't bother doing it again.

You know GM's are only people working in a call center yes? and that alot dont even play wow.
And that the GM interface looks something similar to a glorified Mirc channel?

That I was not aware of, nor think about. Speaking from experience? ;)

He speaks the truth... being a GM is A LOT less glorious than you think it is.

reason why i won't take a job in computer tech support. my mom keeps pressuring me into doing it, but i can't stand that line of work. i get frustrated enough tryin to explain to someone over the phone how to fix a problem on their own computer without me there to see the problem.

for 3 months, before i could no longer deal with absolute morons that is your common wow head. alas. Great employers crap conditions.
Imagine all those whispers you get of hate from random players like "fag boxer" etc.. then imagine just a day full of getting those alone and that is a good day, whats worse are the people who try and talk to you about game mechanics, or future content.

i leave you with this comment on it "OMG BLIZZ NERF DK'S!!!!!" and that is a genuinely common ticket. So next time you think of your GM wait time in tickets. consider that the GM involved is probably doing his best to get away from someone who wants to chit chat about how overpowered some random class is.

on a side note, there are some decently funny ones. i once read one "OMG BLIZZ THIS PLAYER HAXXX, I BUBBLED AND HE STILL KILLED ME!, ban him! (from an 80 paladin. "was the palyer a priest? "yes how did you know, are you watching him because he hax?.. erm no. try mass dispel! and you have to give this guy the same time that someone who has his account ripped open by a key logger gets.

/salute to you for having even spent a few months there. Having done front line support and now I deal with "power users" (yeah right), I feel your pain. But I would love to be a GM for a day. Of course I could never do what I really want (ahh, there's the rogue that ganked me...hehe).
