Just my 5 cents about the /cry posts on forums

[sparvath]

I have been boxing a bit since christmas and I must say I have enjoyed it so far. No need to get help with quests/instances and I can progress as much as I want.

I started out with a 3x mage combo on Silvermoon EU that even made it to wowbash.com :P

Now I am playing on Wildhammer Alliance (also EU) with some real life friends. The team has been upgraded from 3 to 5 so I can solo all I want (hopefully)

But back to subject. In all my leveling I have maybe seen 2 or 3 jealous whispers. Rest have been from people wanting to know about this multiboxing thing. So dont take it too hard when a few post on US or EU forum withe their whines about this. Most understand, and most likely would do it themself if they could, what we do

So have fun. Enjoy the game.

I've had a similar experience, most people in the game are either the "Lol, wut?" type, who just stare at you and then run off, or they ask you questions about how it works. Every once in a while you get someone with a large pole up their rear about it, usually in /Trade.

The Forums get all the crying and gnashing of teeth and nerd rage, because that's what the forums have been infested with - the bitter, jealous, complaining, resentful, childish players who care more about getting attention or demanding they be catered to. The average player was driven out years ago by it. Most of my friends who play don't go there, ever, because they know it's just more trade channel bullies and jerks.

I like to poke them with sharp sticks, it's free entertainment, and maybe if they get tired of being proven wrong and made fun of foe being such egotistical jerks, there will be more room for reasonable, intelligent people. They're the ones who made the forums a virtual PvP fight, so I feel *zero* guilt at bringing the game right back at them, and mashing their faces into the sandbox.

Plus, it's fun. :) Crank them up a few notches so they lose it and drop the charade of being about "fairness" and "ethics", and they reveal their REAL agenda, selfishness. It's a great way to wake up, have a cup of good coffee, and provoke a few mouthbreathers into a froth. Just like PvP, if half of the other team isn't hunting me down in anger, I'm slacking. :) Most of them have anger control issues anyway, it's not hard.

You could give every one of them everything they want, and they'd still be there complaining.

I only started to get a lot of hate since I started multiboxing in battlegrounds. Eye of the Storm in my battlegroup was the only battleground alliance was mostly winning. While horde dominated all other battlegrounds. I've done about 40 Eye of the Storms now, and only lost 3 so far. Alliance have been acting up like a bunch of lil whiners to me now. :P

I got burned out, tired of hearing "Let them lose already!", and nobody being willing to FIGHT. To me, PvP is picking an opponent, and FIGHTING - the more the better! So what if I die? That's why I'm *there*. But, noooo, the chat is full of the same complaining and insults and whatever.


It's that same lousy attitudes that drove me from pugging and PvP, and into MBing, and I'm MUCH happier, and I don;t have to explain to anyone here why. :)

Same here, I only had a few "OMG reported"'s and some "Hackzor!!!oneoneleven"'s.
A few want to know why (because I can? and it's interesting to do)
most want to know how (check here)

Last night someone started whispering me with the last question,
before I knew it he bought a new account online and was transfering his 2nd toon to this new account already.
Ah well, to late to warn him about trying it out for a bit on lowlevel before deciding to go through with it.
I hope he managed to get things going, it was long passed my bedtime by then.

Funny thing is I was getting people msg stupid crap like "no life" or w/e pretty regularly on alliance side especially once I hit outlands and started to go to some of the more populated zones. However now that I'm playing on horde side with my melee team I have yet to get a single hate msg. Just one more reason why I hate alliance :)

Like him? ;D Yeah that was taken in SW while I had my 3 shaman sitting still waiting for some gold ad spammers to come around so I could, ahem, acquaint them with my fire nova totem(Surprisingly, none were present nor did any show up...which is very odd considering the amount they normally run around SW spamming...)

PvP is where most of the forum complaining stems from. Someone runs into a multibox group, gets torched, and wonders if someone was exploiting. This is understandable. What isn't understandable is that when it's explained to them what is going on, they don't adapt their viewpoint, they cling to it instead.

Today, there was one person posting the whole "Blizzard does it because they get more money" line, so I asked her directly-- if I offered Blizzard $60 a month to allow me to run a fishing bot, did she think that Blizzard would okay it? Her first reply was evasive, so I asked it again... and she simply went to another thread to spam the same "they do it for the money" post in there. More people are responding to this argument, pointing out that Blizzard does forbid things like botting and gold farmers even though they also pay a monthly fee, often several. So that excuse may die out.

"It's unfair" and "I don't care what anyone says, it's cheating" are the whines that they are clinging to now, which I don't mind. If all you are doing is stating your opinion, knock yourself out. The minute you try any of that "against the ToS" or "automation" crap, I will reply. :)
