MB'ing thread on Forums.

the thread has since been locked, which is good because i could feel my braincells dying when reading the arguments there. i like how the druid acted like it wasn't all about their class mechanic and team being outdone by a new strategy - the deadly 5 shaman one we all know... then goes on to say they have no problem with boxing just in arena....proving all along it that their stance was a QQ due only to an arena loss and not an ideological or "spirit of the game" issue at all.

some of the arguments and explanations about boxing were strong. that pally had multiple posts that should have ended the thread.

Kant once said that man cannot change his or her passional feelings by thought alone. i think this applies here because you can't change someone else's view through reason. they have to have it sink in and "feel" that it's ok. no one is going to be convinced through logic, multi boxing just looks too damn amazing - you have to try it yourself to understand that balance is there in terms of challenges and rewards.

the thing that bothers me is that people will say anything - that the shaman team in question was doing shady stuff and got penalized....they will throw this stuff out there with no proof, because it doesn't exist...same poster continually edited their posts as well, likely to cover their own tracks.

Some of the stuff they throw around is clearly pulled out of their asses. The druid was claiming that Aelli was "proven" to be no better than a 1500 ranked player prior to multiboxing. Now, where would proof of such a claim be?

Second, he was saying that multiboxing four shaman was cheating because it made them unbeatable... while explaining that his team had beaten them 16 times. So which is it? Automatic "i win" or "they lose all the time to us."

I still think that many of them have the impression that Blizzard doesn't really understand multiboxing or hasn't investigated it, so if they can bring up some issue that shows them that it's "bad", they'll sit up and think "holy crap multiboxing is WRONG!!! Let's stop it ASAP!!!"

These are veterans of MMORPGs, some of whom multiboxed in games like Everquest. They know and understand multiboxing. There will be no "bolt from the blue" that shocks them into making it forbidden to do.

But let 'em keep making threads. That one was moved and locked and the blue who did it sounded pretty damned tired of it, heh...

If I was still active I'd gather some multiboxers and roll on their servers and gank them. Felt like rerolling from scratch anyway.

Blah... the forums are just full of whiners with too much time, but not able to play WoW... most likely at work or at school. Access to a computer, but can't play WoW.
