The cost angle was from the WoW forum troll's attempts to demonize MBing, when Blizzard came out and said MBing was perfectly fine. It's butthurt, ignore it. I'm an adult who makes enough in two hours to more than pay for this- and I have far more expensive hobbies, I have a Nikon D1X that is NOT cheap to feed with lenses and memory cards and flashes and filters and...anyone who has a DSLR understands THAT addiction. :)
I also play guitar. Game over. A decent guitar is 2-3k.
I also buy things like Adobe's Creative Suite, that was an expensive one, but worth it, because my freelance work paid for it. Most of the people who throw the money angle at you, probably pirate all of their software.
But, the tide turned, the endless forum QQ threads have died off, and on my server, Draenor, there's several teams now. One has a team named after the guys in KISS, and had them set up on the stairs in Dalaran with totems out, and he was getting a lot of positive attention. (I told him to come here - if you're here - yo dude!) There's a 4-boxer on the Horde side, I see his Taurens around all the time.
The last time I got a whisper at all, was from a guy who wanted to see me kill something, and was jazzed about it.
People on Draenor are too busy attacking a player called Magicvan in /Trade to waste time attacking us MBers (He's our server rock star, he's spent so much time trolling chat, everyone knows who he is).
Sometimes I sit in Dalaran when I'm bored and wait for random people to start hating. I find it kinda fun to mess with them. I also set up funny macros that make me look like a RPer, which will sometimes really set people off.
One person whispered "lol multiboxing loser huh?"
I responded "Hey, my parent's basement is awesome!"
They responded "plz don't talk to me anymore, kthx"
Ahhh, idiots...
Regardless from the trolling, the 75 euro a month is only a part from the cost. If you would start now with a fresh 5 box team you 70*5 for the 3 sets. With 5 gamecards that's another 150. Which is 500 in total. Though you are good for 3 months. 75*9 or 675 for the rest of the year,means you are going towards 1200 for the first year. That is if your comp can run it. A ram upgrade here, a gpu upgrade there, or a new keyboard/mouse to run all your macro's, a screen, ... and you'll be close to the 1500 range, which is in western europe a monthly income for most people. Not to mention that you'll need 5x cata 'soon'.
So yeah to a certain extend i understand people find multiboxing very expensive. The more cause most don't want to give up another hobby.
So in a way 'money buys power' is true :)
I actually understand that and have to ask, "Is that a hobby or obsession?" :) Now, if you can run WoW on a beowulf cluster, that would be awesome.Quote:

My all time favourite (from 7 or 8 months ago).
First one (WoWScrnShot_072909_165432.jpg) shows the level of education that the wow community (at least AV on bloodlust) has.
And the second (WoWScrnShot_072509_213220.jpg) DEFINITELY shows the level of education that the wow community (on aforementioned battle group) has :)
Sorry for the attachment post. For the life of me I can't figure out how to post "in-line"
I've had a pretty positive response with my 4 Drood team. More so recently with the Random dungeon tool. I think people like the fact that them being there won't make or break the dungeon being beaten. A lot of the time, I could do the dungeons by myself.
There have been a few times where I was grouped with some one I had been with before, and they told me stuff along the lines of "At least I know we'll win." Haha.
And like was said earlier. Your money. Do what you want with it because you can.
