I love how it was "cheating" when you were alliance and now it's cool because you're on their side. Makes me laugh.Quote:

I wish I knew that language better, might learn these hunters some useful tricks in grinding and farming from my years of having hunters as mains. Maybe I could have one of them get me 90 gold for so that I can get my second priest up and riding, but then again, that would mark my account as having been in contact with a goldielock.
My favorite short and funny bot accusation was in the Allerian Stronghold, Terrokar Forest. I was 64 or so at the time with five chars. A 65 or so hunter took one look and said 'bots!'. I talked to him and he changed his mind to 'powerleveling!'. Since I had more than one character, I had to be powerleveling, really, no other explanation!
I managed to shut him up with one sentence: "Since you are a beastmaster hunter you must be a bot, no other explanation."
Blessed silence. =]
Ok, so...
I run a 6 box group in EQ2.
Guardian (i.e. Prot Warrior).
Defiler (i.e. Holy Priest with constant PW:S).
Wizard (i.e. Mage).
Dirge (i.e. Power Regen/Runspeed; not really a match in WoW).
Inquisitor (i.e. Shadow Priest with more debuffs).
Coercer (i.e. Crowd Control on steriods).
Follow on the Guardian.
So I'm running around the newbie zone, and I run by one dude who's harvesting stuff. He is flagged as anonymous (can not do a /who on him), but his pet is level 68, and he starts following me. Sends tells to all the followers, then starts saying "BOT BOT BOT" in shout and chat.
I calmly explain the setup to him, but he does not stop. Five minutes later, I receive a tell from a guide.
I explain the setup to him as well, and he says...
"This I gotta see"
Next thing I know, there is dude standing next to me. He sends a tell to one of my boxes, and I reply back on that keyboard. This goes on for a few minutes, with him changing the person he is sending tells to, and me changing keyboards. Finally he says, "ok, show me how you kill."
So I proceed to pull wayyy too much stuff, and slaughter it. over and over.
Then, suddenly, another guy appears. He sends me a tell, explaining that he is the Server GM,and he would like to watch. He also silences the dude that has been shouting to the zone this whole time that I am going to get banned! Wish I had that power.
So these two GM are following me around for 5 levels, and finally say that I am definitely crazy for paying that much to play, but that there does not seem to be much to complain about, and thanks for the demo. Finally, the Server GM states that he will put a note on my accounts, that will explain that I am not a botter.
The reasoning for the acceptance of my not botting was that I was doing quests and updating at different points on different quests, which I guess they can see somehow.
So, now, every time I get a tell from a guide/gm, I simply say "check my account notes" and they get quiet, then say, "OK, thanks very much for your time"
Heheh... I get those tells roughly once a night. Seems people do not like other people to have a perceived advantage.
I was selling 45minute runs for a while (just doing to for bogus Naxx rep and so I could have a collection of pimp hats, maybe his mount), I would get you on vent, take you through the Baron and all you needed to do was STFU and follow the priest, loot whatever you wanted since it was on FFA. Then when I got to the Baron before we engaged him and you were in awe we would exchange gold.
Much like the famous Xzin videos it was humorous more than anything to watch the rubber banding movement of the characters and the simultaneous toep use, casting gestures and target effects. Only difference was that we listened to Squarepusher or Flashbulb and our toons were undead males.
I have to say the haters hated more when I did that, but the customers were always very loyal and would spout off in my defense needlessly. I always get the 'can you help my guild' requests. In addition to do you want one or two of your warlocks to come to XYZ instance with us.
I had my first experience with someone thinking I was a bot.
I was in the Barrens leveling my two Warlocks (Horde) and a level ?? Alliance runs by and stops to watch me for awhile. After about 5 kills I figure he thinks I'm a bot (I normally do the same combo with both toons to maximize efficiency). I then figured, I might as well give him a show, so I started having both toons fight different mobs and fear kite a 3rd. After doing that about three times, I see him sit and disappear.
Thinking he finally left, few minutes later I get a tell:
"How in the world are you playing two characters?"
Not wanting to spend too much time with him, and forgetting about telling him about this site (sorry.. will do next time) I told him...
"Basically both toons have the same hot buttons and I have 1 keyboard and 1 mouse connected to 2 computers..."
Though that isn't my setup lol, sure did save time.
He then started asking the normal questions.. Why? gold? selling?
My old main was in the top horde guild on that server and I just explained:
"I have played end game raid content, my main was in Hexed (my servers top Horde guild), and I got board with it, So I decided to try and play two characters at once."
After that, he just said "Cool, good luck man and see you back on His Alliance Character" (Cant remember the character's name)
So the first "Botting" thing went pretty well for me... I hope it's a long ways off before I meet the "Your cheating" type people :)

You know you've made it on your server when you get your own thread on the offical WoW Realm Forums.

Also heres the conversation with the author of the thread:

My answer to the "Why are you multiboxing and wasting money lolz" question pubbies ask is "Why do linux nerds put linux on everything that runs on a processor?".
"Because they can" (..put forth the time, money, effort to do it, and it's fun to do things outside of work and study).
hm I think next time I will be called a bot I will ask: "what is bot?"
Right answer is that bot is automatic program that does all actions without any control from human. Multiboxing cannot be called botting anyhow. So this should shut people up...
Very funny, one of the replies looks like its referring to Xzin, and then the guy links to my worst video instead of one of Xzin's.Quote:
