PvP BG's & Multiboxing hate

First off - if you do WSG or AB with 5's team - it's actually pretty hard to do well - so expect people to not be too happy unless you are good at these.

HOWEVER, EOTS and AV should be no-brainer wins 90% of the time.

After seeing hate soooooo many times - imho the best thing to do is:
say nothing and continue to kick ass - let them say whatever they want and just ignore it. You will have people stick up for you if you do well.

all the sudden people will say - some positive stuff when they see you at the top of the score or see you doing well.

At this point - there is maybe 1 in 10 AVs where people start hating - but it quickly turns around when they see me in action.

Now its - wow check out the 5 shaman's "5 boxing ftw" - crap like that.

and about 100 variations of "holy crap that is the coolest thing I have ever seen" - thanks for making BG's fun again.

I think the biggest problem you'll find is people follow you around to check out the action.

People are going to hate us regardless. If you gank expect to get ganked right back. Props to you fur, I would have done exactly the same thing :P


PS: I have done the same thing ;)

Quoted for truth.
That's why I now always start explaining my tactics before the BG has started.
e.g. I tell people 2 or 3 times the same (with other words) that I will be taking the Lumber Mill and that they should NOT follow me if they want to win. I tell them also that they should team up and capture+hold the other points.
If they actually listen, you're very likely to win.

Based on what he described, I wouldn't consider it a loss.

My favorite multiboxing hate is when random people demand instance runs and when you say "no" they go apeshit.

During that same ordeal last night, I have a couple of people ask me what mod I was using. I told them to think a little harder, there are no mods invovled. Then I had another ask me what quest I did to get so many minions.

"I drove to Walmart and bought four more copies of WoW"

The guy understood after that. :P

llolololololl
i think the "what addon are u using" it's the most common, i get whispers with that allllllll the time!
no matter what u say, they will ask again: where do i download that! lol
as for pvp on ab and wsg, it always depends...on so many things... i guess a good D on start of WSG, and a good BS rush on AB can be the trick :)

I was solo in AB and the gates had not even opened when not 1 but 2 were advocating "don't cap anything, let them have 5x so the BG goes fast"
I was pretty pissed and report one of them :cursing: , wasn't sure exactly which category that went under, harrasement or what. I really had never seen this before.
They started calling everyone idiots when we didn't just stand there and let the horde win. we lost really bad but I kind of figureed that was expected when two players quit before it started.

I see that sometimes. The problem in AB (as well as WSG and EotS) is that they are just terrible honor per hour. People usually just go for tokens, and they'd rather lose a game in 5 minutes by getting 5-noded than lose a game holding 2 nodes for 20+ minutes. The thought of actually winning never enters their mind, although I image that depends on your faction and battlegroup.

Last night a group of us were queuing for AB with 10. Pretty much guaranteed wins when we're matched against non-premades. And yet we still had people going stealth/shadowmeld afk on us. People are just lazy in BGs as a general rule. Unfortunately we win the games so quickly that the afk-debuff doesn't even have time to go up on the people we report sometimes.

I experience a lot of hate on my server. I stay away from towns now and I live a nomadic lifestyle.

I once went into org to do a nice little star pattern for my friend and I got WAY more hate then love.

In BG's i can only box 3 at the moment and even tho they are still wearing their WC gear I get tells of hate.

Honestly I think its a thing of the time we live in. We have a us vs them attitude in the world and this is just a great example of it.

Your different = I hate you

You can turn that hate around real quick if you put some effot into it. Simple things like:

Putting on cool light shows in town for a few min every day to get your name out and become known.

If your in a zone and you hear someone begging for help on a group quest help them finish it real quick

If you see some PvP goin on and you got heals then heal the hell outta your faction and make them feel invincible to have you on thier side

Stay positive and show a good attitude towards others no matter what people say to you and it will all start to turn around. I get like 90% love on my server now, i dont have to even defend my actions, if someone talks bad about me other people will back me up.
