i really only get to play while at work so i am still low level (10 atm). how do you guys deal with higher level tools (so far it has been several 50-60's in goldshire) camping on your beginning quests?
i have never had to interact with a gm until i started multiboxing.......
my favorite is someone runs by asking for help...then when they realize all my toons look alike, they say wtf hacker.....reported.
i dont help anyone anymore needless to say.
I am, to my knowledge, the only multiboxer on my server (Trollbane - Horde - US).
You will get a lot of people stopping, and "wtf"ing, but to be honest, I've not had a lot of negativity. A few "get a life"ish comments, but I just ignore it. Most of the conversations I've had have either been positive, or just neutral questions (want to know how it works).
Most of the time, people just stop and follow me and don't say anything. A few have said multiboxing is against "TOS." One said it was against the "LUA," that made me laugh a bit. I haven't had a GM convo yet (its only been a couple of weeks). I've opened tickets to say who I am, and that I'm multiboxing, but I've not had a response yet. For the most part, I ignore everyone, good and bad alike. If i stopped to talk every time someone whispered me I'd still be doing Brill quests. That's why I like instance grinding during peak server hours, and questing early morning or late night.
Almost every screenshot of conversations with GMs that I have seen, on this site and elsewhere, make it seem as though multiboxing is fine, provided; a) you own all accounts you're boxing on b)you aren't using software that automates any process c) in conjunction with (b) you have to be at the keyboard, and clicking or keying to get any action from your toons.
One GM told someone straight up they have people there at Blizz who 5 box and that most GMs know all about it. It seems to me that the safest thing you can do is avoid any software or addon that might remotely look automated to a GM. But if you hvae to press "2" to make all 5 toons do something, that isn't automation.
Anyway just wanted to chime in here since about 3 months ago I saw my first multiboxer and thought "OMGWTFHAX"...just kidding. But I did think to myself "How the HELL is he doing that?"
I got a funny "lol keyclown ?" yesterday evening :rolleyes:
some "get a life" or "cheat" but most of comments are "gratz" and so.
