Public Reactions? LOL!

[SonyUSA]

What sort of reactions do you usually get on first impression from other players when they see you?

75% of the time, I get "LOL!". 20% of the time is 'WTF', and the other 5% are random things, including 'reported' and comments about botting.

What about you guys?

[Frosty]

I'd have to say it's 40% "LOL", 40% "WTF", 8% "Lol they all look alike, how'd you do that?", 1 % people interested, and 1% people bad mouthing.

I'd have to say it's 40% "LOL", 40% "WTF", 8% "Lol they all look alike, how'd you do that?", 1 % people interested, and 1% people bad mouthing.What about the other 10%? :D

[moog]

On Argent Dawn (EU) I would guess it is fairly evenly divided between:
WTF / LOL Is that one player / how do you do that - if they ask nice, they get a nice/long explanation and a /dance Very nice / congrats - I do get some very complimentary whispers :thumbup:
Bot! Reported! Lame! etc - they get a "Welcome to /ignoresville, population you!" in return
A few people have friended me and keep in touch, wave or even ask for help, which I'm perfectly happy to provide if it's my zone.

Had some days where it's all good and some where it's all bad... you never know what sort of day you're going to have.

[Ðeceased]

hmm for me it's:

30% "lol"
20% "wtf"
40% "cool!" and "cool, how do you do that?"
5% reported

and then random stuff..

had one person say "5 shamans? How original! NOT!" to which I could only bring myself to reply.. "Shiet, thanks for telling me. I'm off to make some new characters in that case.."
I just don't get how they think originality fits into this.. There were pioneers, and now most of us are disciples. It's done for fun, noting more.

although when ppl ask me why does everyone use 4/5 shammies I normally reply "you mean besides them being the coolest class in WoW? :P" and then go into explaining the mechanics etc and how they really rule for boxing :)

so far I have to say my experiences have been 99% positive and ppl really interested in boxing. of course that changes when you go anywhere near a BG :S

[shaeman]

I did a test with two draenei shamans to see how it all worked.

I had someone come up and rp with me.... did that for a while. Then I ran off... My alt character got whispered by this person asking why I was following my other character. Told her I was the same person and she thought it was cool.

I'm going to be multiboxing 3 existing 70's shortly - hunter, shaman and lock. It will be interesting to see if i am picked up as being a multiboxer. No synchronised totem dropping for me on these.

I will of course start levelling my 3 identical shamans and compare the reactions.

Thing is on the server I'm on you see such idiocy and lack of respect for others in Trade chat, general chat and battleground chat that I've long since learnt to ignore it. The morons are always the most vocal, and if you didn't think about the silent majority of people that are decent you might just want to give up on humanity :)

I won't deign to answer the stupid ones - However 3-5 /fart will get the message over I think.

[SonyUSA]

I recall my first Warsong Gulch around level 17 (was alliance then, moved to Smolderthorn/Horde now). Some guy kept yelling for the shamans to spread out and heal people, which I told him I couldnt because i was controlling them all (others piped up and said the same thing). Near the end (of course we lost, alliance sucks :O) he goes "i hope that guy realizes what a stupid idea it was to do that in here". The end screen pops up and guess who has the most kills? XD

Edit: Oops not Warsong Gulch, I meant Arathi Basin

[Frosty]

I'd have to say it's 40% "LOL", 40% "WTF", 8% "Lol they all look alike, how'd you do that?", 1 % people interested, and 1% people bad mouthing.What about the other 10%? :DI miss the other 10% because I get wife/kid(s) aggro or am off getting more coffee. 8)

[Oatboat]

50% WTF - 30 % Wow - 10% can i group with you - 5% get a life 5% i hope you like paying that much per month

[Havelcek]

On US-Mag I have yet to receive a negative comment, surely because The Zerg already has a widespread good reputation. Meanwhile when I originally rolled my group on Lothar I was slammed every day. Its been a refreshing change. I give all the credit to the the "Zergers" who have come before me.

[Djarid]

[Bluepants]

I just switched servers, so here are for both Ravencrest and Xavius :

RC :
20% "WTF!"
15% "LOL!"
40% "DK!?!" (as in "are you Danish?)
10% "Are you Bahamas/DrHeal?" (Kayb on the forums)
5% "Where is Smallpants?" (my "run-away")

Xavius not to many, since I've only been there like 2weeks :
90% "Oh your a multiboxer, interesting" (followed by 50% "I've seen your/the movie")
10% "Can i join your 5v5?"

Hell I even got a civilized QQ thread : http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4357228231&sid=1 :thumbup:

Gotta say I love a "mature" realm..... :love:

[DigitalDeuce]

I can only suppose that people react faster/more when it's more than just 2



I only dual box -- I'm doing it only to level alts before the
expansion, and while my 70 priest was with my 50 priest -- all I got
was "cool names" because one is named "Divine" and the other "Devout"
-- I have never gotten anything from "oh, you're one person" kinda
things.



Guess seeing more than 2 at once is the kicker. Or same classes.

[Icetech]

80% reported, lame, what a loser, get a life...
15% botter! hacker!!!
5% Thats awesome!!! OMG!!! make a star!!!

Dark Iron SUCKS.... horrible server.... think i will just make that my sig:)

If you guys wanna roll a ally team, come to DI.. horde cannot pvp.. they can't even win the towers in terrokar.. its a total joke:)

[nogbog]

=) mines slightly different.

60% "are you a family"
20% "welcome nog family"
15% "how are you doing that"
5% "i think i'm tripping"

[Huwa]

So far after a few weeks of 2x duoboxing on Thunderhorn we haven't received much comments.

I play 2x mage (44/38) myself, and my gf 2x priest (44/38)...imba combo :)

Once a guy thought we were a chinese powerleveling service: oh i thought you were a person. When we started talking to him, he got interested and dropped the attitude.
Yesterday I wanted to help a lvl 10 with a boost through the DMs, but he prefered a lvl 55 warrior instead. His loss.

Maybe because we are only 2 it draws less attention. We got quite a few 'hey..can i join your guild' whispers though, maybe because they saw us leveling the lower ones with the higherones.

Happy boxing.!

[Sajuuk]

No percentages here, only a really good response on Runetotem. I can't remember any real bad comments except in Warsong Gulch.


...although I have been offered 6g to strip and dance in tarren mill...

[bugilt]

30% Cool, ??? , How many accounts? ect...
20% WTF
20% LoL
15% Reported
10% #*@!

25% loser/lame
5% oh no not another one
5% BOTS BOTS BOTS REPORTED REPORTED

[Vyndree]

had one person say "5 shamans? How original! NOT!" to which I could only bring myself to reply.. "Shiet, thanks for telling me. I'm off to make some new characters in that case.."

I've gotten this one...

Oh, the irony... http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=3060

Sadly most of the links in that thread no longer work.

[darkmoon]

50% WTF - 30 % Wow - 10% can i group with you - 5% get a life 5% i hope you like paying that much per month.This is what I get, but no "Can I group with you" so twice as much Life/Money outcomes.

Also people walking in the opposite direction keyboard turning and following after you is awesome, this still amuses me. :thumbup:

Me and my friend are doing shamans, he has 4 i have 5. He gets ALL the positive reactions as of late and I get the weirdos and turds who are a pain to deal with.
Still fun ! :P

[Ifalna]

My all time favourite was getting called a keylogger, after I had explained what a keylogger was to them.

They got chased offline by guild members whispering /MOOCA IS LOGGIN UR KEYZ /SHES IN YOUR COMPUTER STEALING YOUR QWERTY'S!

[JoeWunsch]

On my new server The Forgotton Coast, so far They Have been :

1 - WTF
2 - wow...
3 - LOL

[JezPeRR]

Today i got:

- THAT IS JUST CRAZY!!!
- What addon are you using?
- How to u do that?
- "No life at all!!" ;)
- Be 70 so we can own AV
- Am i blind, or WTF?
- LOL
- ROFL

> To be continued....

[Ishar]

90% WTF, oh man thats awesome on the continent with darnassus
75% WTF, cheater, r u selling accounts etc when on the other continent (eastern kingdom)
havent been to outland yet. hehe.

oh, i had a guy waste 45 mins the other day trying to get me to admit to breaking a rule.

'are you selling accounts', tehn why are you doing it, etc etc.

then he proceeded to tell me i could use a keylogger to control my priest. heh heh heh.

I didn't bother explaining what a keylogger was to the poor guy. lol.

oh, i had another guy that was like, thats so cool, but i dont understand. hers my email address, email me, i want to know why you really doit' hahaha. like i was gonna email him and divulge an evil plot/tos violation. my response was "Cuz its fun"

Edit: by control my priest i meant he sent me a tell along the lines of 'you could have your priest autoheal with a keylogger, but i guess you like doing it the hard way'.

[Zite83]

90% WTF
5% Cool
5% Can I group with you?

I just laugh when they ask to group with me... Do you not see that I am 5boxing?

[SonyUSA]

90% WTF
5% Cool
5% Can I group with you?

I just laugh when they ask to group with me... Do you not see that I am 5boxing?I get soooo many 'can i group with you?'s
I get even more duel requests, they seem to think we are magical and can engage all 5 into single-combat magically with magic.

[merujo]

i also laugh when some whisper: "tell them to move"

lollol

[Ishar]

lol. omg. had a guildy tonight ask to group with me. so i explained it on that char. so 5 mins later he asks antohe rone of my chars. so i explain it in guildchat, then decline him with that char. then 10 mins later he asks ANOTHER one of my chars. lol poor guy just dindt get it. i honeslty think people like that are just desperate to the point of self-delusion.

oh, i bought tabards for my new chars last night (the silly guild ones), and they all have basically the same gear from leveling up, and i went with the clone look on this team, but anyway, someone saw me and was like 'OMG a cult! can i join can i can i'. lol. so funny. never been called a cult before.

Might be a good guild name. The Cult. or something. Cult of Cults? the Legion of cults? nah. im probably just tired, and this isn't gonna read nearly as clever tomorrow....

[-silencer-]

The most ironic ones are the "no life" comments. Let's see.. I put in 10-15 hours a week in WoW at the most, leaving at least 153 hours a week for Non-WoW "life" activities. You play for 48 hours a week, leaving 120 hours for non-WoW "life" activities. Now tell me who has a life and who doesn't?

On Laughing Skull for me:
Pre-level 30 areas
35% WTF!?
20% Reported
18%Where can I get that hack?
15% *friendly & curious* / Want to join my guild?
5% No life.
1% Cool multiboxer!
1% Can I join your army?
5% Make them dance!

Post-level 30 areas
25% WTF!?
10% Reported
10% Where can I get that hack?
25% *friendly & curious* / Want to join my guild?
10% No life
15% Cool multiboxer!
5% Make them all dance!

Just about everyone who makes a comment other than WTF, I'll reply basically stating it's not a cheat/bot/hack, and visit dual-boxing.com for more info. 75% of those who start with a "Reported" or "BOTS" whisper to me have the conversation end in a positive note after I edu-ma-cate them.

[Icetech]

I'm past educating.. i tell them to call a gm so they can explain the rules to them

[sparvath]

I can only say Wildhammer EU has been kind for me

Been here quite a while and almost 95% only friendly/curious comments. I have gotten 1 comment about "i'll report you" but never heard anything about it.

[Littleburst]

I'm past educating.. i tell them to call a gm so they can explain the rules to themLol, i'm gonna remember that. Makes GM usefull :>

Here most people just look and keep staring/following.

Most of them are WTF/lol/can i join plx?

And had a few get a life/reported etc. But most are positive.

[Gurblash]

I have found that since I've been in Morganti's guild <reported> people havn't said shit to me. Which is sooo nice.

[Frosty]

I just laugh when they ask to group with me... Do you not see that I am 5boxing?

Honestly, nearly all of the people that realize I'm multiboxing only think I'm 3 boxing. They can't "see" the other two until I spread them all out.This happens to me all the time. But I'm not sure if it's worth it to spread them out and then deal with the next batch of conversations. :wacko:
