Community and Multiboxing

[mikekim]

tbh... the majority of whispers I get are positive. I get the occasional £40.00 per month is expensive, from some pubescent kiddie. I then proceed to totally blow thier minds by expaining that its cheaper than my other hobby, as I have just spent £3,000 on a digital SLR and lens (D700 and 24-70 2.8f - if anyone wants to know :P )

LOL, I know what you mean, Multiboxing is a drop in the bucket to what I've spent on just research into building my first Ultra lite. Now that is a hobby.

I find that folks who "hate" multiboxing to various degrees usually fall into 4 groups:

1. Low-budget people/kids to whom $75US plus a computer capable of multiboxing is a lot of money.
2. People without the imagination to grok why doing something different like this might be fun for some people.
3. People who have worked long and hard on their solo toons to be able to run heroics/raids, only to see a multiboxer who didn't work all that hard (didn't have to PuG or fight for a guild raid slot) running around in T9/Relentless and are jealous/envious. (Also, see (1) above.)
4. People who just got totally owned by a multiboxer in PVP.

Really, of those, #1 is the only one that is a rational reason. And even then, it isn't fully thought through.

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.
