New team started - my first whisper

[shaeman]

So I set up my new team last night to take advantage of quicker levelling.

I rolled 3 mages, mainly becuase I've never got a mage past 36 but I like the idea of the playstyle (if not their squishyness).

So I'm running around levelling - have broken out of the gnome starter area and I get my first whisper.

I see the purple writing and think "oh no - here comes the abuse".

The whisper was basically "What software are you using to multibox", and started what was a nice conversation.

I ask him if he knows about Dual-boxing.com and it turns out he's a registered user (I cant remember his username, thought it was something like malarkey but not sure).

It's nice to know you are not alone on a server.

So far i havent had a singel "loser" whisper by fellow hordes and im 37. However i been spitted and sighed on by the alliance but who cares i can one shot them if i want (5 corpsemakers with windfury pew pew)

I didn't really get many comments until i hit outlands...

I've now got 4 macro's of replies to hit when i get whispered.. Basically which state its multiboxing, not botting.. Not against terms of service, and a few quotes from GMs.. and to feel free and report me to a GM if they wish, who will tell them the same.

After that, people tend to become very interested in what your doing, and be quite good about it..

All I got this week was some dumbass Alliance Pally, who thinks that if you park your team near the chillwind camp flightpoint, set your toons to /AFK, and have BugMeNot set to block duels, that means you spam duels on all 3 toons and run around in circles emoting /chicken for 5 minutes (I was on the phone).

I have had mostly positive /w's from people. I have had a few people in BG whisper me with vulgarities that I've replied with " Thanks, btw, reported x5" or "Sec, need some time to report you ..... x5, k, thanks"


The GM's have been very accomodating with my reports too

Oh, one thing to note, try not to use Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V to do your reports, try to customize each a slight amount, one GM said "I think your clone software reported this multiple times" I told him that it wasn't software it was Ctrl-C/V, but I won't use that going forward, I'll personalize 8)

You can report people for spamming /duel btw. Be sure to /ignore them, if they keep doing it report them -- /duel forces you to target the person who does it, so it screws with your gameplay.

Friday I rolled a new team on a new server (PvE, eastern time zone, low pop) and spent the weekend getting them to 19 (draenai pally, priest, hunter x3). I was ready to deal with the abuse if it came, but not a single person has given me any grief at all. The worst I've gotten is stuff like "lol that's funny" or "five accounts? omg you're insane." But none of it malicious, they just seem genuinely curious. And most of the players I've passed along the way do little more than either stop to watch me for a second and then go about their business, or ignore me altogether. A few have buffed me as they went by.

Along the way I saw a five shaman team (they were 13 when I was level 12, now they're in the low 40s... being boosted through SM I think) and I figured that maybe they've seen this before and so it's no big deal. But so far not an iota of abuse or rancor. Maybe it'll change as I head up in levels but so far it's been surprisingly pleasant.

Since starting I've had 3 whispers - the first I spoke about in the original post.

The last one I got started out with "lol"

I thought uh-oh here we go. Next thing he says was "are you dual boxing"

I said no "tri boxing" and moved my chars apart. The fella said "cool - I love boxing"

In fairness I've been levelling in instances so haven't had much running around, but not a single comment as yet. I daresay I will get it (there are plenty of idiots on the server, you just need to read the trade channel for that), but I have been pleasantly surprised.

This particular team was horde side - so I've had positve response from both factions.
