I've gotten two bot accusations since this thread was started, and four whispers from chinese farmers asking if I was one of them (in chinese, naturally. Mandarin, seems the cantonese regions are more likely to run actual honest businesses instead of goldfarming operations).
I wish I could get in contact with chinese farmers. :( I know they use QQ, but I don't know chinese. If I could get in contact with them I would open my own powerleveling/game gold selling business :) .
Just started mutli-boxing last weekend, had set up my characters and a few simple macros and was one-shotting mobs in the undead starting area.
Some guy starts following me around and then messages one of my alts. Of course I reply back from my main and he was like "i didn't message you though." Then a few seconds later he goes "when did you get your botting program."
"I'm not botting, I'm multi-boxing."
"nah you're botting"
"I'm multi-boxing...go have a look at www.dual-boxing.com if you want more info"
"I'm not going to some site with a keylogger just so you can steal my account!!!"
"mate, you're an idiot" /ignore
Like most, the reaction I get is mixed.
I reckon it's about 70% "ur botnig, boon111" and 30% proper interaction.
When I have time, I quite enjoy the 30% and have taught a fair few people a little bit about multi-boxing, hopefully dispelling a few myths along the way.
The most unpleasant experience so far was when I started my hunter team. At level 5, two level 70's turned up and started following me around.
Having convinced them that I wasn't a bot, they were then convinced that I was power-levelling the hunters to sell to gold farmers. They absolutely couldn't understand why anyone would spend "fifty quid" a month on five accounts.
No amount of rationalisation attempts ("Erm, I spend more than £50 on a round of drinks in London!!", "Perhaps me spending £50 is like you buying a cup of coffee, in terms of disposable income percentage?") would make them understand and they spent a merry 20 minutes or so killing all the spawn in my newbie area.
In the end, I just logged to another team.
Would this be reportable behaviour? It seems pretty close to harrassment / kill stealing to me...Quote:

on lothar back when there was no xrealm we had a Twink guild , many a times when bored we would grab our fishing rods and go fish up some devaite fish in barrens . once since some poor troll kept getting ganked we set him to follow . so some dude still decked in whites/rfc gear was being /followed by some of the best twinks on the server .Quote:

later since we found out we kinda messed with his head we sent him some goodies to get on his way in leveling. ( ie old bags , crap blue items , some pants , and minor speed to boots )
I got a good one yesterday.
A little history for it to make sense. I play 3 Mages, was Alliance and re-rolled Horde on the same server - just hit 70 a couple days ago.
So I'm doing an instance re-gearing my new mages.
Healer says, "Wow your playing 3 mages, there was a guy on Alliance who did that. I hated that cheater, he ganked me so many times."
Tank says, "Ya, I remember him!"
Me, " ..... that was me."
I'll let you gauge the responses :)
