So since blizzard says its ok, they move to MMORPG.com

Most people seem to hate multi boxing when i comes to PvP. They see it as an unfair advantage.......... First off... 1 vs 5 will never work... enough said. If you find it unfair find friends and come at me... A well grouped 3 man team took my 5 man team down no problem... They were able to work together and move all over the place, while my 4 alts just followed and were unable to swing around to get line of site. Right now I think multi boxing is the new racist fad going around. People always need something to hate and it seems we are the new fad. :S

Well they took Ret paladins away from them which they had for years to poke at, make fun of and hate on...What are they suppose to do now to faslely boost their egos? Got to have something to blame their problems on, cause CLEARLY the problem does not lie with them but rather everyone around them!

The discussion flared up again on the EU support forum:

The same guy, Fiskerdin, is pretty much on a weekly basis starting these discussions. You know the drill, ignores everything people say and just keeps repeating it's automation and an unfair advantage.

My personal favorite is to hit my spreadout macro and then face all the toons at the noob...

/target noob
/lick noob

hit that follow macro and go on with my business.

Gotta love those types of people. Just refuse to listen to anything, starting shit over stuff they don't understand, or simply for the sake of starting shit. Goddamn you internet!

"Blizzard says it's okay." <--- that is pretty much all that matters at this point. Not only that they said it's okay, they did so in a manner that pretty much clears up any questions about it. So if someone wants to ignore that and insist that it must be stopped, I don't really care much. I will still discuss the issue on the WoW forums from time to time, but it's been pretty much cleared up as well as it can, and there aren't many arguments left, aside from "I don't care what Blizzard says, it's wrong!!!" And they can argue that until their lips fall off, such a dumb and self-defeating argument is best left to stand on its own.

If people want to run to other forums to complain, more power to them. The responses I've seen in the past from Blizzard reps make it pretty clear that they don't see a time when they will outlaw multiboxing, though they will always reserve the right to do so if it becomes necessary. People complaining about it are spitting into the wind at this point. That's not my moisturizer of choice, but to each his own!

I just attribute most of the whining to the same phenomenon that makes people whine about class balance. I think that "Waaaaaa! Multiboxing is unfair and should be banned!" is equivalent to "Waaaaa! Warlocks are SOOO OP its not even funny! Nerf Locks, Buff Hunters!"

I've seen MORE content since I've started multiboxing... I can complete quest chains and go into instances that I would have had to PUG before... and I do NOT PUG.

NO JOKE!!! It is SOOOOOO much nicer to have a group of 5 ppl who...
1. Don't take 30 mins just to get to the freaking instance!!!
2. Don't bitch and argue about party make-up.
3. Don't go AFK every 5 mins w/o telling anyone.
4. Are paying attention for every single pull.
5. Don't bitch about loot drops.
6. Don't get emo and ninja DC because they can't have their way.

P.S. (It's WAY worse on alliance side then horde side)

So I see people ask all the time "Why would you multibox?" Read that list then then I'll ask you "Why wouldn't I multibox if I have the means too? So I can socialize with a bunch of whiny little asshats and retards who complain about everything under the sun and are convinced that they are right and everyone else is in the wrong? Yea that sounds like a great time to me!" I still run groups with friends and guildes. I get plenty of socializing in! There's no shortage of that. They only thing I'm cutting out is socializing with people who aren't worth me wasting my time and energy on.

Don't forget being able to go afk when you want. I did Underbog last week. Got halfway through the instance, then decided I was hungry. So I got up, made dinner, ate, and came back to my computer (Luckily before I got auto-logged) and continued on my way. Before I started multiboxing I'd have to just wait until the instance was over. I don't like to go extended-afk on other people, or ninja-log.
