While running my 4 "lower level" Mages in the 60-69 AV bracket recently...
"WTF, when'd they move Mirror Image to 60?!"
and numerous whispers of...
"what level do you get Mirror Image at now?"
"how did you get your MIs to show in the Raid window?"

Cracks me up how many kids think $75/mo is expensive. That's such a small fraction of my monthly bills.. it's not even noticed at all. I just want to tell these kids to put 24/7 WoW on pause and try actually dating for a change.. $75 barely covers one good dinner for two, wine not included.
I think I get this one more often than anything, and that's typically the response I use - can't even get a decent dinner for two for that price, and that's only one night.Quote:

<all> lolz
It's good to see random people defending you :)
Dang the whole money thing kills me, shoot I waste more on drinks in one night on lots of weekends. My 5 x accounts is nothing compared to everything else, and yeah you all aint kidding if you go to a good restaurant your are going to kill a bit of cash just on dinner.
You can easily assume that anyone who has an issue with the cost of MBingQuote:

Looking at the Blizzcon pictures, it's a safe bet that covers most of them.
The rest are just plain old cheapskates or trolls.
It's kid stuff. I tuned it out a long time ago.
I recently had someone say this in AV.
"You have 10 accounts??? Thats like $400 a month wtf rich?"
Every other AV I get people that fail at math and/or do not understand that more accounts does not equal playing more hours of the day. Now that I been playing in the same bracket quite a bit I have a fan club that answers all the questions and hate for me.
Last night I was buying some gear from the vendor in wintergrasp with my team all stacked up.
I sadly notice to late that someone is nuking one of the other shammies from on top of the wall. I run in hard against the wall to LoS the guy. He jumps down and I flameshock x 4 him in the hope that he will go away and stop being annoying. The flameshocks actually manage to kill him as he runs off.
Next thing you know a lvl 1 is sending me tells about how cheap it is to 4 box pvp, hacker etc etc. This from a guy that ganks people who are obviously shopping and actually started a fight.
I normally dont ever pvp on this team. I think they might have a total kills of 12 each.
It's all good to gank someone who isn't paying attention.
But its not fun when they fight back and kill your toon.
The guy is a hypocrit.
If he doesn't want to die in a pvp situation, the solution is simple.
Play on a carebear server, avoid enemy cities and do not BG/Arena.
well even if you have 10 accs, multiboxing is easily the least expensive hobby you can have.
Only thing that beats it is soccer i guess, u just need a pair of shoes, pluss its boring as hell =)
At 8.99GBP x 5, it is definitely a lot cheaper than a night out on the tiles with a bunch of friends where you are forking out 15-30GBP/round (depending on who is there and where we are) on alcohol. And if I smoked it would potentially be a lot more expensive as well.Quote:

Besides, I am starting to get a lot of people stopping and looking at me when I am running around with the 5 box team... and there have been no haters as yet
I was running around Hellfire around lvl 61-62 with my 4x Shaman team when someone messages me "REPORTED!". I replied back with the standard "k" response. He messaged me again calling me a cheater and a bunch of other fun and insightful stuff. After a few minutes of responding "k", I look at what guild he's in and amazingly he's in the same guild as my main.
So, I log over to my main and put a message in guild chat...
[Guild] Hey XXX, can you stop wasting your time reporting my shaman?
I had like 4 people go "???", ">.>" and "huh?".
He was like ... "That was you?!!?!?"
Me ... "About that cheater comment and everything following that ... "
Him ... "Oh, yeah, sorry about that..."
I play on Silvermoon EU Alliance side, and I have almost never received hateful comments. Its probably because Im still fairly low lvl.
Most of the comments is like:
Multiboxing FTW
NICE
lol wtf is this?
Started with WoW just a few weeks ago, started to box a small week ago and now the happy owner of my 5x shaman team (lvl 30ish). First solo'd to 26 and no one was paying attention cq bothering me (which is good). Things will never be the same since i lined up my 5 guys:
- one way or another lower players consider me a veteran now, they ask me stuff and I have no clue what they are talking about. They don't believe me when I say I just started with the game, and it has happened they call me a prick for not willing to provide them with the proper *expert* info. Which is hilarious.
- established players don't believe I'm a newbie either, and they try to figure out which *established* player is behind my toons with suggestive/tricky questions about events in the past. Fun thing cause no way I can be fooled as I have no clue.
- I seem to attract more goldsellers/farmers/scammers now (things like 'if you have an inactive account we will farm it for 150 gold a day', or 'are you selling those toons later on?', etc etc).
- Most fun I had when someone called me 'Chinese', calling me a blatant cheater/goldfarmer/sweatshop victim. Just minutes before I saw him talking in chat in Dutch (as I'm Belgian thats my native language). So I try to impersonate broken Chinese English. Of course I forgot to de-activate enter broadcasting, making me reply with 5 toons. Some of his mates (also Dutch) jumped in making fun of this *Chinese guy*. Until I answered in perfect Dutch, pulling the joke on them. However they were fair enough to see the fun in the situation.
On a side note: many players on my server doesn't seem to be familiar with multiboxers (i haven't encountered an other one yet), they follow me a while, stand in front of me and ask the regular 'wtf'* questions. But most of the time this has let to some good and entertaining conversations.
I've only been 5-boxing for a couple weeks. Never got much notice when i was dual boxing. However, running thru Stormwind with my team has gotten me a little attention. Most of the responses i get are the typical "wtf" or just curiosity... plus a few "lol" and "the rare "fail" comments. I did however have a couple encounters that made me chuckle. My team was waiting on me to finish looking something up on Wowhead, so rather than have them sit at the main gate of SW in AFK mode... I let them dance. When i looked up from my laptop, they had been joined by a level 80 Druid, dancing away and blowing kisses to the "girls".
The same afternoon, while running thru Old Town in SW, I had a lvl 80 follow me for quite a while. After making it to the Deeprun Tram, I see him yell "Look Out Everyone, Here comes the PAIN TRAIN" i started rolling.. and then thought..hmmm not a bad name for a guild
I recall once while playing an alliance group through Darkshire, this individual typed up some glorious, high-minded, spouting wall of text at me and then ran off to avoid my retort.
Don't you just love that behavior, spouting some long winded accusation and then they run off? I can just imagine them running off in RL yelling "lalalalalalala" with their fingers in their ears (that scene in Liar-Liar comes to mind).
I had another request to kill something so someone could watch recently, I love that. I'm running around Icecrown on a regular basis, and I think everyone is just used to my team, I havent had any snotty "'sup, botter?" comments in a long time.
The accusations of selling our accounts cracks me up, sell my accounts after all the work I've done?
Back during my RAF, I created a team of five druids.
All of them female night elves.
About 30 seconds into arranging their chat frames, etc...
And starting to configure their macro's...
Five more female night elf druids appear.
Not sure who it was, but we were chatting in /say with one toon each.
I was asked if I'm on dual-boxing.com at all.
I said I was, and the other boxer basically said they read but almost never post.
Another person logs in, and is listening to our conversation.
And basically going holy shit, quite a bit in chat.
Then we turn around and Wrath x5 a mangy cat or whatever..
As we test our macro's.
The level 1 was really amused by 10 druids hanging around doing nothing.
But after 15-20 mins of tinkering around, we both leveled very quickly.
Had RAF at the same time, and ended up leaving the newbie area ahead of the solo boxer...
Who had a 15 min head start on us.
Kind of funny, what are the chances two boxers will log level 1 toons of the same race and class in at the same time, both configuring their teams for the first time? I added each of their names to my druids friend list, but never saw them again, at least not while playing the druids.
^^ That is a twilight zone moment. lol

I love my toons and have put a lot of work into them.
Quite often we get ignored somewhere in there.
I have had one member add them to my friends list.
And then sent a guy a tell 6 months later.
Something like, "Still playing all 5 toons together, not selling them."
Yes its fun to read those:
"Are you going to sell them?"
I have played 7,5 days on my team at lvl 60. If I transfer this into effective time I could invoice to a customer in my accounting firm it would yield around 12.200$$ prior VAT.
I wonder who would pay that for 5*lvl 60 toons :D lol
I get asked to kill some quest elite for a solo player a lot. They worship me after that =)
Them: Isn't 5 accounts expensive?
Me: Cheaper than crack or hookers...
Today, during dailies, at the Neutralizing the Plague quest, my team helped a pair of players do the quest.
They stood there with me, and alternated which of them would click their potion.
As I did the same, but with two of five doing potions.
Even with twice as many mobs, it was a pretty easy quest.
My pally tanked for both groups.
Pretty sure the warlock and boomkin in question are not anti-boxer now.
They both said thanks.
Lol... had my first hater tonight...
Just ran the team out of the inn in SW and some nelf starts abusing me calling me cheater and saying that I was cheating because I had 100 toons behind me...
*sigh* I wish :P
Ive only been boxing for about 2 weeks, I have had multiple "reported" including one who I think I turned into a convert of sorts. The 2 most amusing ones for me though were
One guy who paid me 5g to take a screenshot of my team (I used a cross formation macro)
Another guy who asked me "Why are you strobing like that"
"$^#$%^" you just made me Rick Roll myself!"
A random guy came across me while questing the other day, convo:
And he just mounted up and flew away. Kind of disappointing :(Quote:
random guy: are you all real people?
Borck: We are the Borg.
Zorck: We are the Borg.
Dorck: We are the Borg.
Porck: We are the Borg.
Corck: We are the Borg.
Borck: Resistance is futile.
Zorck: Resistance is futile.
Dorck: Resistance is futile.
Porck: Resistance is futile.
Corck: Resistance is futile.
Borck: Prepare to be assimilated.
Zorck: Prepare to be assimilated.
Dorck: Prepare to be assimilated.
Porck: Prepare to be assimilated.
Corck: Prepare to be assimilated.
I might need to macro that and use the /in command to have the whole thing run after a few seconds :D
I might need to put in a /peer in there as well :)

He actually AFKed out of an AV to create a character on my server. Respect.
"arent you meant to do it with shamen"
I love to cause havoc in the room before Vault...and people wandering around the base. Eventually, enough horde show up and give me a good fight. After they eventually wiped me today.....i get a tell basicly saying that i was a sad person that sucks at wow....and he feels "sorry" for me everytime I take on more people that I can take.
Um....isnt that the point? Sure one shotting solo people is fun.....but taking on mobs of people and holding my ground....now that is fun! Sure, sometimes i get my ass handed to me in seconds, but im not mad about it......its all a learning experience. Plus....you cant tell me they are not having fun trying to kill me. I mean, they could have gone on their merry way...but no...had to keep comming back for more.
Also, Im always flagged for pvp when i do dailies(pve realm). I actually had people on 3 seperate occasions.....during the same day.........to purposely flag themselves to take me out. 2 of the 3 times I can tell they thought I was afk and figured It would be an easy kill....but they both got one shotted. One of them then decides to msg me to describe how sad, and desperate I was to need 5 toons to beat anyone. I mean.....he was the one trying to gank me. lol

I'll probably try it too.

X (to sit)

And wait for someone to walk into the trap..
Pure Evil. Do it with one toon, and the rest stealthed. What an eye opener.Quote:

At this moment I was delighted to have installed gearscore, which gave me a quick answer option:
Me: "Multiboxing is not a cheat. But if I am so very noobish and yet have better gear than you - what does that say about you?"
Amazed guy: "LoL"
Random guy took that as his cue to shut up and discretely fuck off. =]

After I jumped theroman, he must have decided he was on a loser there and left...
Shortly after some gnome on his horse posed in front of us after I had parked the 4 slaves while I did some running around... asked him if he was taking a picture and he ran away... must have thought I was going to ask for some money :D
