Multiboxing and twinking - How much prejudice will I encounter.

[shaeman]

After rolling a 19 twink and having fun running BG's with my son and daughters twinks I've decided that I want to multibox 3 hunters. (hunters being the only class that can make a rogues life miserable).

Hunters seem to be the most multibox friendly twinks (I've got the setup in my head).

I'm a bit concerned about the level of abuse I'm going to get for it though.

1. Hunters seem to be quite a hated class

2. I'll be multiboxing which brings it's own abusers

3. I'll be a twink.

(about the only thing I could do to make myself more hated would be to roll blood elves - but I'm going with Taurens for the warstomp).

Personally I think I will be able to ship a load of damage and pay my way in the BG's. I'll be supportive of flag runs - I'll be there concussive shotting enemy flag carriers or their healers. (I've played a hunter to 70 so have all the kiting skills down).

Searching through this forum I've even seen negative attitudes towards twinks from multiboxers. (which did surprise me. You'd think multiboxers would be more tolerant of those that choose their own path, and face hatred for it - don't knock it unless you've tried it)

I know there will be some that will have tried this before - How did this work out for you?

Did the grief just ruin your enjoyment - or did you just go in and manage to have fun?

Or did you find people accepting of you? Either straight away or after you proved your skills.

You'll most likely be more hated than the average Joe boxer. I'm a boxer and I'd dislike it. I don't like twinks in general though. If there were a BG dedicated to twinks which kept them out of the battlegrounds against new players, sure I could care less about them, but I doubt 99% of all twinks would even queue for it. They'd stick to what they're good at, killing players with 1/10th their own health due to high level enchants and kits.

Just my own opinion, nothing personal.

It is your opinion and of course you are entitled to it.

It is funny though - twinks are one of those things that people hate when they are up against them - but love them when they are on their own team and get the WSG marks and honour for it.

Of all the Bg's I go into I've never ever, ever seen anyone complain about having too many twinks on their own side.

That's because people usually only complain about something being unfair, when its being used against them.

Since BGs are owned by the twinks anyways why not have a twink MB team. You will get more grief than normal, especially all the twinks crying in the wow forums about how evil multiboxing is but who cares. I say twink away.

I think a lot of people who dislike it don't even bother to queue, so you wouldn't hear much from them anyway anymore. Others are new and really have no idea that you're twinked or what it is. Then you have those who are just there for the honor and marks and most of them don't care how they get it as long as it's fast so they're happy when they have twinks and whine when they're against them. Finally, half the BG is made up of twinks anyway because there's little to no point for non-twinks to queue, so you won't hear any negative opinions about twinks from them unless they are losing and then it's the non-twinks fault they are losing...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to persuede you not to do it. You just asked what people would think, and sisnce I can't really answer for other people I gave you my opinion and what I think many others will feel. Like they say, you're playing for your own enjoyment, so do what you want.

what is the point for twinks? is it just to own? You are never going to lvl past 19 or 29 so the badges do nothing for you and the honor also does nothing. So is it just to own?

Pretty much, its the same reason why the WoW forums are full of internet warriors.

Oh man. I used to box 4 hunter twinks at 19.
They are tons of fun. For a week.

Basically, yes.. they are THAT devastating.. so devastating that within one week of playing them, you will have gotten bored.

I could pretty much solo WSG if I had a healer companion. 4 hunters at lvl 19 simply have way too much dps, survivability and control (boar charge, improved concussive) for any other class to put up a real fight. If I wanted, I could park at the enemy graveyard and just grind them until someone capped the flags.

Edit: I got a lot of love from my teammates, and a lot of /spit and /golfclap and so on from the enemies.

i kind of want to twink, but don't know what i want to do.

- do the 10-19 or the 20-29 (The 10-19 will probably be the best but i think i will get bored as hell doing only wsg).
- single, dual, tri, quad, or 5 box (the more i add the more expensive and harder to get everyone geared)
- what class(es) to chose (4 locks would be killer, having 8 dots on someone means almost death. if i box then melee would be out of the question which leaves hunters and locks because they say that druid, sham, and mages are not that good)

i don't pvp too much, but i might after i get some twinks, plus it would be cool when my friends come over i can be let check this out.
