I hit 70 and got reported

[Kedash00]

Woot! i hit 70 with my team and was sitting around in org showing off formations and talkin and stuff and some team of S3 epiced out morons showed up and started tearing through peeps, until they hit the bank (this is where i was). So i hit my formation key and ran in with my pally and started focus firing and frying them one by one and then we chased them outside and apparently one of them had a horde toon cause he jumped on it and said i had been reported for botting, it was a lvl 1 toon.

Then i get a message, like a hour later from a GM saying their had been reports of me botting and we chatted for a bit about what i was doing and how i was doing it, and he said as long as i had complete control over my toons i was good to go, so i showed the GM the toons were under my control by moving them all independently (sp) and he was like, have fun no problem.

it was nice to finally talk to a GM, he also said in the future if i start a new team on a new server to make a ticket just to let the GMs know that i'm mutliboxing so they can discuss it with me and put me on some kind of list so when they get reports about me they will know what's going on. Just thought i'de pass that along.

all in all a good experience, got to fry some alliance and hear them QQ about it and finally talked to a GM.

Hah, those dudes were just pissed cause they got owned. I've been wondering if I should report myself before someone else does. Guess I will. Thanks for sharing!

[keyclone]

very interesting.

first ... pics! need to screencap the GM conversation (and general carnage / QQ of course)

as for the GM suggesting we "report in" when we roll on a new server... that's pretty nice.

it'd been very cool if they started that.. another step towards supporting multi-boxing

:D

Indeed. Whenever I speak with someone that just doesn't get the point, I ask them to have the GM talk to me when they write the ticket. I have yet to hear back from a GM, but you can bet I'm asking questions and screenshotting the answers. When / If I speak to a GM, I will ask about letting them know about the teams we run. This could add an interesting dimension to our screenshots library.

Speaking of such, do we as a community have a specified place to send / post screenshots that are specifically geared towards Blizz's stance on MBing?

Speaking of such, do we as a community have a specified place to send / post screenshots that are specifically geared towards Blizz's stance on MBing? I usually send people to the FAQ Vyndree did, short URL so easy to post: www.v-boxing.net/faq , which includes some blue responses.

Just thought i'de pass that along.I actually opened a ticket to do just this, and the GM I spoke to was confused. Told me there was no need for me to tell them I am a multiboxer, because there is no "list".

the wiki (look to the top of the page ^^^^) has a section on GM conversations... if you cannot post pics there (i think there is something) find a spot on the net and embed the url link to the image

I had some guy named "Noobkiller" bitching at me yesterday, a level 1 twinked out the ass in the crossroads (gear was all enchanted, fiery weapon, etc) and he was dueling everything with a pulse. Once I got off the bird he dueled me, Automaton smartly declined (I love wuss mode, cuz if I wanted pvp, I'd do it on a pvp server or a BG) and he started spamming reported to general chat and calling me a bot.

After a few minutes most the folks in general were just laughing, so I started arguing with myself about if it was worth while to stay in barrens chat or not, seems half my warlocks like it, the other half dont, and the priest is just too lazy to leave.

I got a few tips from friends on verbal abuse within the game. I kept getting players telling me how 'gay' I was for multi-boxing. Normally I just put those people on my ignore list but not anymore. This guy came back and told me I was 'reported' for botting 'and' that I was 'gay' for doing it. I reported him and actually got a response from a GM soon afterwards. GM told me that anytime I get verbal abuse from the players to feel free about opening a ticket.(I had mentioned I was getting pretty tired of this over a period of time)

So it works both ways people. Dont take the crap off the jealous ones who cant or wont box. Their argument that its a waste of money doesnt justify verbal abuse (trash talking).

"dont get mad, get even"

I love just repeating peoples stupid questions back to them all the time, its hilarious how fast people seem to get confused or just withdraw. Ie " do you even have a life? " A: " well, I dont know do you? ", "why do are you playing all those chars?" A: " why do you think I'm playing all these chars? " it really can go on forever and I always get a good laugh out of it. I really hardly ever directly address random people except to repeat their questions back to them.

Heh, I've had a few horde on Blackhand hop on a level 1 ally toon and start giving me crap. A few I've directed to you Zanthor, told em to go check out Aazan :)

Funny enough, 2 horde were generally annoying me making all the /rude gestures and spitting on me and stuff in Netherstorm. After a bit I noticed their guild tag, it was the guild I had come over from Ryzom with. So I did a /wait and logged on with a horde toon. I told em, "Boy you needed know who you're disrespecting. I'm a founder of the Praetorians and you need to chill. Go ask Pan about Elo." He was like 'holy shit' and then we had a cool chat. Funny stuff.

Just wanted to toss in support for the notion of introducing yourself to the realm's GM staff. I did that the first night I rolled on Khaz Modan (just submitted a general help ticket saying something along the lines of "hi here I am and i multibox these other 4 accounts as well"); had a great little chat with the GM who said that she/he placed a note on all 5 accounts and haven't chatted with one since despite getting many "reportedOMG!1!" tells.

edit:: ^ hi elo, I chatted with you briefly on Blackhand right before I re-rolled my group on KM. I was the other group of draenai shaman :)

[kllrwlf]

Lucky dawg! Haven't talked to a GM yet and I've been 70 for a little bit now.

Then again, there are 2 other people multiboxing on my server on the Alliance side (don't know about Horde, haven't run into any).
