Top 10 worst things about 'boxing
Okay, some of these may not apply to everyone, but this is a general list of the negative aspects of multiboxing:
10. Makes solo boring - Tried to play a character solo after multiboxing for a while? Yep, it sucks.
9. Addiction - Hey it's Saturday and 1pm, lets play my multiboxing team! Hey it's now Saturday and it's 8pm, I still need to eat dinner!
8. Always being tempted - What would this team be like? What if I created this team and tried this....how would this work? I'm always tempted to try different groups.
7. The cost - May not apply to those with deep pockets, or those who know how to work the WoW economy. 5x WoW = higher electricity bills, 5 subs, more computer hardware and/or peripherals. 5x toons = 5x mounts to buy, 5x characters that need bags.
6. Harder than it looks - You sat there and watched that Ellay video and was like "cool, let me hop right in". Several hours later you're STILL setting up your UI's and dealing with macro issues, dealing with fearbombs, figuring out what to do when your "main" dies.
5. Living up to the hype - You enter a random bg, and see "Omg multiboxers, we're gonna win!" Everyone follows you expecting you to decimate the entire instance because they watched Ellay's video on warcraftmovies.com.
4. Living in fear! - Always wondering if Blizz will nerf multiboxers to the point where we can't do it anymore. Always wondering if Keyclone will get you banned. (doesn't bother me, but I see this ALOT).
3. Time to setup - Stated before, I don't know about you guys but it takes FOREVER to setup new chars. I gotta setup their ui's, setup the assist/follow macros, figure out what I want to name them, buy them bags, figure out their talent specs....etc. Could be just me....luckily bongos and trinity have a profile you can save/load.
2. The attention - You'll find people following you alot, asking questions, making remarks. People in bg's will bother you. You may get praised alot, or spat on. But after a while it gets annoying and you wind up having to ignore it all - even the nice people.
1. The noobs/morons/aholes - All the morons that say we're hacking, all the noobs who can't seem to figure out how we do it. As if it's some grand mystery. I mean seriously, how hard is to google? YES we need 5 accounts, YES we pay for 5 accounts, NO it's not hacking, NO I will not run you through an instance, NO I will not be selling the accounts. The same frickin questions over and over and over. QQers on the forums that try to get us banned because they were hit by 5x chain lightning. As if it's hard to find 4 other shamans and do the same thing while coordinating on vent. People that say we ruin the game. People that think we're botting. It's like Blizzard needs a mandatory Intelligence Quotient test when signing up for an account.
Of course, all these negatives are far outweighed by the results. Feel free to add more.
