What Players make money from wow and how?

[Sam DeathWalker]

I think I can safely say that most world boss kills lack for tactics and advanced mechanics, and are done with brute force.

Ya high end raids require tactics to be successful and high end raiders employ such. But world boss kills because they are almost never done by a single guild and have no real leader are just everyone doing whatever they can.

Also the simple fact that Galleon and Oon are non tauntable means it’s not clear that the tank can keep agro, and many do not regardless of the tactics they employ. Without agro tanks cannot face or move the boss where they wish and a lot of tactics just are not viable as a result when the boss is targeting random raid members.

And as you know being a boxer if you can brute force the encounter then that’s only because of the months or years you spent preparing for it and leveling and gearing your guys – no small effort as we all know.

I think I clearly have to rely on the “amazing” part of this rather than anything else. I hope that solo of a world boss would be the “greatest” multiboxing achievement to date but no doubt if I do do it someone will claim that something else is greater.

So what are greatest boxing accomplishments to date: Prepared winning AV solo? Xzin high arena rating? What raid boss has been downed in Pandaria?

(A few others were 10 boxing it, but their names escape me)

I'm sure there are plenty of others that I missed

I hate to say it, but the glory days of multiboxing in WoW are long gone.

Also, Prepared hasn't done anything most of us would consider an 'accomplishment.' Many of us could do the same (if not much better) with 40 accounts.

I streamed some 2400+ 3's and 5's in s10, and 2300+ 3's and 5's in s11 but deleted the vods. Most people just didn't care to watch, even from here when I posted I was streaming. Even at high ratings a multi-boxer gets shit on for their game style choice. (remember i got ddosed for days because i beat the r1 team on shadowburn a few times as double dk + hpal vs their RLS)

Streamers make most of their money through donations, without a sub button and a 2k+ sub base you won't make shit for money from twitch. Youtube money is easier to get in the long run but you need new and interesting content... or just be REALLY good at what you do/likeable etc.

If you want to make REAL money from boxing the only way to do it is through shady means that has nothing to do with social media. And even then you don't make that much from it vs a minimum wage job unless it is the beginning of an expansion or something stupid.

IMO you'd be wasting your time trying this, tons of people tried (prepared... though fuck him, and tim from the other forum to name a few)

I might make one more run at it next season with a shaman team... but other than that wow is dead to me too.
