Single Boxing is cheating

[Tonuss]

Eventually Blizz is going to put an end to MB.

I think that they'll only ever consider this if multiboxing somehow 'breaks' the game in a manner that they cannot fix, or if it becomes a problem in some way that we haven't foreseen. It would not surprise me if a number of Blizzard employees do it from time to time, I know that at least one or two of them dual-boxed (or more) in EQ. When they say that they consider multiboxing to be a legitimate play style, they are being 100% honest. They have gone out on a limb to explicitly state that it is okay, that the software that we use is okay, and that players who get thrashed by a multiboxer simply need to man up and learn to play.

I think that people make too much of that "we tolerate it for now" message that was posted some time back by a blue. That is just the result of Blizzard learning to never say "never" after they changed their stance on some issues. Sure, they could decide to forbid multiboxing at some point, but it would have to be for some kind of extraordinary circumstance. They would not simply say "well, we don't like it" or "multiboxers are acting like jackasses in the forum." I think that the worst that they'll ever do is to try to break any combos that work too well by limiting the way certain abilities stack (which they've done before with shaman totems, I believe) or the way they work (like they did with tremor totem).

I won't ever encourage anyone to antagonize other players unless provoked. But I don't think that this hurts us, just as I don't think that the many complainer topics hurts or helps. They do provide some entertainment, and occasionally the opportunity to aggravate some dolt who desperately deserves it.

Totally agree!
I actually liked all your post, but wanted to point out this too...

This is my take exactly. I dont believe they would arbitrarily circumcise us all out of a pissin contest or the few "poke you in the eye, and kick your shins while youre down" threads, I guess to be more blunt. I was trying to say "How is this helpful?"

Personally, Id rather continue to educate people, rather than put a finger in their cupcake and tell em to eat it and stfu.

I don't ever come out and tell off people or anything like that. When I box I try and educate and answer any and all questions. The post I made on the forums was in conjunction to a topic that stated the exact opposite of my post. I made sure to post on my toon that does not multibox, and is in a PvP guild. It was a bit of a risk, as trolls and flames are abundant on the forums, but the point of the post struck home and it went exactly as planned. People saw the pure irony and posted the same insane assumptions about singleboxing that multiboxers are subjected to.

Was I out of line? Probably.
Should I have just ignored the intitial post that inspired me? Yeah

I posted here the thread so people could see that people jump to our defense not only when we are under attack, but when we make a stand no matter how half assed it is. Luckily, 95% of the PvP forum had no idea what the post was about haha.

I welcome any and all criticism, and honestly, I wouldn't post anything that would actually harm or be detrimental to our community. The jist wasn't to be confrontational and attack singleboxers, but to show that "see, I can make retarded assumptions and gather a following of mouth breathers too". Just my nature to confront people with irony and sarcasm.

<3 u all
