I actually watched both of these. Stop using Divine Storm in single target! =)
lol, liked the videos. I love people who feel the need to rage @ me over multiboxing. i lol inside everytime
Is there a multiboxing podcast or something like that?
I don't normally listen to those, but I'd certainly like to take part in one, you know, get the message out there that we aren't all basement dwellers and some of us lead pretty cool lives and actually enjoy what we do.
EDIT: And d0z3rr, liked the videos, talking was a bit slow, but cool none the less :)
I've been told at work that I talk too fast (I have to explain things to people everyday). I intentionally slow down my talking speed in instructional videos, my mind goes like 400 miles an hour and I can get off track easily.
Watched it also. (I think this is what you were saying at the end)
One misconception also:
"OMGWTF You spend all your money on WOW".
This one totally makes me laugh. People seem to think that because they couldn't afford two subscriptions of WOW, no one can. I have some canned responses for stuff like this one.
If you want to dispel the myth that "Multiboxers are cheaters" its probably best not to mention account trading.
I don't think these are really connected at all.Quote:

Logic doesn't work here. If this was about changing peoples perceptions that multiboxing is legitimate then openly admitting to breaking the TOS will not change those perceptions.
Account sharing is a violation of the TOS in a way that affects gameplay; it can be argued that it is cheating in and of itself. I don't think that it necessarily means that the people trading accounts are cheating in other ways, but it does make it look like they're willing to disregard parts of the TOS they find inconvenient, so I couldn't blame someone for assuming they "cheat" in other ways.Quote:

Did I mention anywhere in my post or in my video that I want to CHANGE people's perceptions? Hell no, I'm far too lazy to try that. I could care less what people's perceptions are of me as a multiboxer.Quote:

The video is more of a "heads up" on the stuff you will encounter - being called a cheater/bot/loser, getting hassled, getting reported, etc.
Duh.
Nice videos. Since I've been back to multiboxing, I have been getting a pretty positive response from people. I've actually been kind of surprised. Several have even been familiar with some of the MB-ing software.
Also, don't knock people for calling you a fag then turn right around and call them a retard. I'm not offended by either word but they're both in the same pop-culture-insult category :P
