Why Don't More Multiboxers Raid?

[CDNProdigy]

I have been playing World of Warcraft from Day 1 way back in 2004.

Everything I have achieved and done seems to follow a logical progression.

Back in Vanilla I distinctly remember asking myself that there had to be a way to level easier thus my first dual boxing combo: A Paladin and a Priest. (Oh the good old days of alt tabbing).

I still remember the day when that became insufficient. It was is in The Lich King expansion. I needed to conquer more content thus 5 - boxing became my standard.

When Blizzard introduced LFR that could be done with 10 man teams; I then felt that 5 - boxing became insufficient; hence in Warlords of Draenor I moved to ten boxing.

I guess my point is that once I considered myself competent enough with what I am currently doing and the game presented little challenge I tend to crave more. What I do today really has been years in the making and up until recently I only considered getting into raiding. I avoided it mostly because I got tired of the raid rage I would get bringing 5 man teams into raids.

I know that I want to get to the point of competency with ten characters and join other like minded individuals (aka Multiboxers) to achieve even greater things. Imagine a 25 man raid with only a few multiboxers?! That was the main reason why I moved to the Sargeras server from my firmly established home on Wyrmrest Accord.

Nice little walk down nostalgia lane there, CDNProdigy.

One of the things you mentioned made me take my own little walk.

Imagine a 25 man raid with only a few multiboxers?! That was the main reason why I moved to the Sargeras server from my firmly established home on Wyrmrest Accord.

Here's a video of three of us Multiboxers (me, Fishbeak, and Styrr) taking down 25 man Morchok with 24 characters when he was current raid content back in May, 2012:



If only they had invented flex raiding back then - would have made that kill 1/25 easier on us!
