First week i lost 18+ points to every team i played it seemed. This was my third time in arenas. What a difference a few pieces of gear make ! Once I get all my slots filled with merc/ving/guardian gear ill start doing many more games a week for practice. I look forward to seeing how high I can climb! YOU inspire me Ellay

[Diamndzngunz]

GRATS!

I hope to get there someday :/

[bugilt]

Grats, now finish the videos!

[Fleecy]

Congratulations! A massive achievement!

I'd love to see a post on the WoW forums about this. The QQ'ers would go nuts!

[Ellay]

Grats, now finish the videos!

I released a new video today :)

[fpanko]

Grats. That's very awsome.

[Ellay]

Alright I made a post, we'll see if it gets any QQ :P

I was also pleased to see that most of the responses on the general forums so far were quite positive.

[Elektroz]

From the forum, some guy defending Ellay against a hater:

...So here's my question:

How did 1 player with 1 mind, beat 5 players with 5 minds? Regardless if it's 3 other shamans controlled by the 1 player, that 1 player STILL bested 5 player teams. You'd think that with 5 players that are, shall we say "proficient" at Arena, they'd be able to over come 1 player and 1 healer, no?

In simpler terms, you got out classed intellectually and lost....

He does make a valid point... And GRATS!! World first ftw!

[Mercurio]

I was wondering how this turned out for you - those netherdrakes are awesome.

Congrats!!!

This is great!!!... and also very depressing. I went 7-20 and ended with a 1340 rating on my 4xshaman with the same spec, 320 resil, 900 spell damage, and solid crit rating. How the heck do you do so well and me so badly?

But anyway, congrats!

/popcorn for you!

[Wilbur]

I love watching those faggots tripping over themselves in order to call you a cheater, Haxxor and generally go BAW BAW BAW NOT FAIR!!!ONE!1

Give them something to *really* cry about this season.

Damn wowinsider are quick sometimes:

You are famous Ellay, (well, even more famous).

And big GZ before i forget :O

[Ellay]

Awesome find, thanks.

[Tonuss]

I get the feeling that the people repeating the "Aelli lost at 1800s and was booted" comments are people who got rolled by your team and can't seem to remove that bruise from their ego. It sounds a heck of a lot like the people who consider it unfair because they got rolled 5-v-1 in a battleground. For all of the complaints about arenas, many players approach it very competitively in order to succeed, and I guess it's not surprising to see them become very sore when they see a multiboxer foiling them. I think it's a matter of personal pride to people like Stormie, and therefore they make false accusations in the hopes that it takes some of the sting away.

I am betting that it doesn't. :)

[neux]

Grats! Nice Job.

[edit] too late, Kyudo ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=1741') beat me to it =P

[Ellay]

Ya the 1800 retort is inaccurate and has turned into a urban legend more than anything. I've never played a solo Shaman ever :) but I had a friend who was in my guild who lost their shaman on a 2345 team, they were rated 2300 or so. We went up against a 2350~ team and went 3-4. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't amazing but it was a mirror match and your expected to pull off a 50/50 rate at that caliber. I left the team that night to go play back with my 4 Shaman and a healer on my real team - I only joined to help them out until they got a Shaman from another server who transferred over.

From this one night episode everyone comes out of the woodwork with crazy comments :)

[Xar]

The article at wowinsider was nice but LOL at the QQ'er comments. Having played 20 matches now in 2 weeks since my 5 dinged 70 I can say it isn't as easy as you make it look Ellay and it definitely isn't as easy as the QQ'ers think it is. Multiboxers usually dominate the opposite side in BG's because they attack with less than the same number of multiboxed toons...ALL THE TIME, then come back for MORE....BY THEMSELVES. LOL. Once in a while I witness some intelligence and they come back with 4-6 of their team mates and annihilate me.

Grats again Ellay, awesome achievement.

[Kyudo]

To ensure that It doesn't look like I'm QQing in the wowinsider thread 1st post, there is another poster there who posts under Kyudo, not me I promise 8| .

In any case that'd make me a pretty bad hypocrite if it was me... hehe

EDIT: And Wilbur, nice clarification post on Wowinsider, but it seems to have double posted :O

[Aradar]

I love how all these non boxers talk about how easy mode it is yet you're the only one that has done it. You have several examples in just this thread of people trying to duplicate your work with much less success, if any at all. Again, grats.

[Tonuss]

One nice thing is to see how the multitude of recent QQ threads has pretty much drained any anti-MB arguments dry. For the most part it is people arguing the same old stuff ("automation" "cheating" "money") and some who just throw insults around. There is simply nothing new being offered up by anyone. The frustration is obvious with people saying "well when it's all over the place people will quit and Blizz will stop it!" In other words, they're effectively giving up on trying to argue it and just tossing flames or "you'll see" predictions.

Game over, basically.

[hardc0re]

GZ! your accomplishments have inspired many

[Aradar]

I would post this on the WoW forums but honestly, 21 pages in, who's going to read it. I think you could give your setup to most of these people that think it is so easy and maybe even explain it to them over a period of time and they still couldn't accomplish what you did. Moreover, these people act like you started at Gladiator with all this great gear, ignoring the fact that you worked your way up with less than optimal gear to start with. These people get so emotional about it and can't seem to put any thought in to it.

[Gadzooks]

I love how all these non boxers talk about how easy mode it is yet you're the only one that has done it. You have several examples in just this thread of people trying to duplicate your work with much less success, if any at all. Again, grats.

Most of the non-boxers are high schoolers who simple parrot what everyone else says, thus the "shaman booted at 1800" mythology. It's like anything else on that forum, 90% of it is garbage. I don't even read the threads anymore, it's the same idiocy over and over and over again.

This is a major milestone in Multiboxing, and Ellay deserves as much applause and kudos as he can get. For all of the crying and whining and sniveling and accusations of cheating and hacking and "it's not FAIR", this is a major slap in the face to MB attackers, as Blizzard legitimized MBing yet again with one of the hardest-to-accomplish rewards in the game. Getting ONE toon to that reward is hard work, doing 4 is a supreme effort! The people who attack it don't know the challenges involved, or do know, but won't admit it because they're jealous, so they blow smoke and mirrors about the money or how easy it is, or how "unfair" it is - yet I'd bet a year's sub fees that if any of them were handed the equipment and money for the subs, they'd be running teams right now.

From now on, anyone who says "I don't care what anyone says, it's CHEATING", all you have to do is point to Ellay and his accomplishment, and say "if it's cheating, then why did Blizzard allow this?" They just went through a week of quietly banning afkers before they released the rewards, and not one MBer got banned. They delayed a week on purpose, I'll bet they reviewed every winner for any possible exploit. I can't think of any other way Blizzard could legitimize MBing better, than perhaps Tigole and Kalgan saying "it's fine" at last week's invitational, and putting it in their manuals and on the website and EULA in big, flashing red letters.

/applause, and my heartiest congrats, Ellay. Thanks for hosting this site, and doing something we call all be proud to be associated with! :)

Now, I say you get on the tournament server, and make the record books there! :) Them we can watch you in action at the next invitational!

[DarkslayrX]

Gratz.

The multibox haters are gonna love this!

[Mak]

Wow, Gadzooks really said it. I've really missed posting on this site =P

I had to come back of course once I read the nice article on WoWInsider and noticed Wilbur's familiar name. I must say Ellay, what an incredible accomplishment and all the QQer comments make this so much better. Congrats x100! I'm jealous of those awesome Netherdrakes (the armor is so much better!). I'm planning on getting my girlies netherdrakes as soon as I can farm up the cash at 70. You have also inspired me (like so many others) to make a shaman team but my poor team sits at level 1 and who knows if I'll ever get to them.

Again, way to go! And we are all looking forward to more awesomeness in Season 4!

[Gadzooks]

Again, way to go! And we are all looking forward to more awesomeness in Season 4!I'm just telling the truth - I think some people hold back, because they're afraid of being attacked - but this is something that deserves a lot of positive attention. I posted pretty much the same thing on the General WoW thread, it's devolved into the usual "it's automation" nonsense, the attention need to be yanked back to the fact that it's a really special accomplishment.

For every bitter scrub who's still butthurt because they can't win-trade anymore, we need a post that celebrates this. :)

(You do know that's what a lot of this was about. Most of the players who complain are doing so because they can't cheat their way to Glad - people who play honestly and compete for the prize don't complain about MBers. They're just butthurt because they can't get to the 2000+ ratings on skill, because 2000+ even solo is damned hard, without cheating.)

[Ellay]

Now, I say you get on the tournament server, and make the record books there! :) Them we can watch you in action at the next invitational!

I'll be at the MLG Orlando event in July, I won't be particpating though but I'll be there!
Maybe they'll interview me and you can see me :P

[Talamarr]

Those are some great threads. Epic justice would be finding out one day that Ellay is actually a Blizzard employee lol.

Gratz again man!

[Ellay]

I should apply :)

[Talamarr]

If Ellay was a Blizzard employee and it became public knowledge, the accusations of "cheating" would never end.

Ever. All the haters (and some on the fence) would just go full tilt insane QQ.

I know. It would be AWESOME! :D

(Ok, crazy Tal is getting back to work.)

[Gigatron]

Amazing job, well deserved titles and mounts. I loved reading through the post you made on the general forums, such a mixed back of responses. :D

[Boylston]

Congratulations and a big Thank You for helping me achieve my super-duper Challenger title. :)

[Stormweasel]

Sincere gratz to you, as a newcomer to the scene it is amazing to see what can be achieved with practice and planning.

Your services to QQ should not go unrecognised either :P

I encourage everyone to bitchslap any faggotish anti-MB posts immediately. I've been having fun for the last couple of hours now :-D

OMG! This made me LOL at work... heads were peaking over cubes...

Congrats Ellay, those of us that are still struggling with our 0-10 MB groups can appreciate your accomplishment.

That wow forum thread was insane, I ended up reading through all 26 pages... I couldn't stop reading... so many delicious QQ...

[Majo]

Grats on Gladiator Ellay! You've hit a big milestone for the rest of the multi-boxing community.

On a side note, since I didn't have any partners in the end of s3, I lost my glad title on my main this week =[. It's alright, time to work on getting 5 glad titles this season not that my shammies are 70!



I should apply :)

If you come to Irvine for an interview, I'll buy ya lunch!

[Gigatron]

That was fast, 500 post limit hit already. :D

[Tonuss]

I encourage everyone to bitchslap any faggotish anti-MB posts immediately. I've been having fun for the last couple of hours now :-DIt's like shooting fish in a barrel these days. The same people making the same arguments and being slapped down the same way.

I may actually stop participating in those threads, it feels like running daily quests. :)

[Oatboat]

Wow my eyes are bleeding and my belly is getting full from all the QQ on that forum

[Tasty]

That post kept me entertained for an entire day! :D

[Farleito]

WOOHOOO, thanks everyone for your support - this day is very special to me :) and another ground breaking event for dual-boxing and what we can accomplish!
Congrats!
I've got a question for you...

So, I've got 3x 70 Shaman w/ 4 pieces of Merciless armor,1 Brutal (and crap accessories) and the Merc. Gavel on each. So far, I'm like 3 wins, 40 losses in the 3v3 arena. Could you give some advice (or a link if you've already discusses this) on wtf to do? I get worked pretty bad. Even at the 1200-1300 rating. It's rather embarrasing. I own face in the bg's... I have something like an 85% win rate in all battleground (except AB, cause people just want to stare, QQ and follow you around instead of capping the bases.)

I'm 3x elemental. I consider myself to be pretty good at boxing. My macro's are setup pretty well (using focustarget ... /cast [target=focustarget] blah). When I come across a 3v3 w/ a healer, generally I run out of mana before anything goes down. The healers LoS so I can't really go after them. What do you do?

[Tdog]

Meh...alot of the same old bs jeslousy posts as usual in that thread. I was hoping for more like post 194

screw you freaking cheaters

this is why i play aoc

diaf

btw, i reported this thread to the mods

[Ellay]

I don't do 3v3 much at all, it's not where we excel at - 5v5 is definitely the place to be, try to find 2 others who wants to do 5's with you and see how well you do there :)

I am betting that it doesn't. :)
Stormie Is a tool.


I play in a Horde side PvP guild on Shadow Council and have gone up against his team in WSG games many times. Once we had a partial premade against a partial premade of Stormie's crew. We were undergeared against their full S2 gear, but we managed to outplay them and win. Our guild posted about the win to gloat in the SC forum and much QQ ensued. He claimed 'it wasn't a fair match' because they queued as a FULL premade, but 2 players were disconnected and 1 was afk. Thus it 'wasn't a fair comparison' because he had 1 more pugger on his partial premade than we did. My point was that real skill is outplaying opponents that outgear you – *that* takes skill. (I was in lv 70 greens at the time vs his teams s2 gear).


Apparently it is only 'fair' when Stormie has his 'perfect PvP BG team'. He made excuses for the loss because his 'full' team wasn't present (of course neither was ours). Funny how he QQs about anyone beating him when the situation is not perfect: wah! not fair they had 1 more pugger, wah! not fair mulit-boxing. Really skilled players adapt and win in adverse situations - Stormie isn't one of them.


Bottom line Stormie is the worst kind of sore-loser: he can't really handle a loss with maturity.

And most importantly grats on the title.
