New team started - my first whisper

[JezPeRR]

i usually always reply negative /w with "Report me"

but explain myself if they start out nicely hehe :P

[Pact]

I dont really get to many negative whispers, and as far as i know im the only boxer on my server, most of the time its people asking what im doing and how im doing it.

Even sitting outside the Ironforge AH one day people didnt really give a damn.

I started again to take advantage of the recruit a friend promotion and also to head into 4 boxing so well see now if anyone else notices.

Maybe its just the advantage of playing on an Aussie Realm.

Hey all, my first post here.
I hadn't even exited the UD startpoint before I got positive response in an RP-like fashion =) And after about 30minutes of setitng up macros and stuff, along comes a dualboxing mage/warlock
Draenor EU PvE-btw.

Got a gazzilion people yelling and screaming like a little kid who sees someone has something they don't have in pre-TBC content.
It was toned down a lot when I went into outlands.
But as soon as I hit 70 last night it started again, not as bad as it was before lvl 60 tho, but still.
I guess the flying mounts trigger the jeaulousy once again.

Last night I got a person asking me how I wasn't banned yet,
not that he minded me boxing, but he was just curious
so I explained it, linked this site and he was like "oh cool".

Most hate usually comes from pvp-focused people and non lvl 70s from my experience.

Had my first whisper yesterday.... short but sweet - "LAME LOSER F**K"

I replied politely and got chatting to the guy, explained that the setup had only cost me £10 as the other accounts were all trials and I was just experimenting. I linked him to here and he said he would have a look.

Always makes me laugh that people treat things they do not understand with hostility, but as soon as they know the score, it is all fine and a great idea.

The interesting part is that the people who QQ on the forums always talk about being "in the majority." My experience would tell otherwise. A fair number of people think it's cool. The largest number of people don't seem to care. A very small number don't like it.

People who are against multiboxing are a decided minority as far as I can tell. They can try to comfort themselves by claiming to represent the majority, but experience tells otherwise.

As for responses, I will not respond to anyone who makes negative remarks. The only exception would be if they threaten to report me, and my reply will always be very simple-- "go right ahead." I will chat with people who are genuinely curious, but I am not going to risk wasting my time with someone who will chat for hours and not change his mind. I am under no obligation to waste my time just to deal with them, the rules are in my favor, after all.

I tend to tell people I'm using "software called Keyclone, which broadcasts keystrokes from one client to the other four! It's pretty cool!" before they have a chance to wonder what evil hacks I'm running. Though it's probably not necessary, the denizens of Horde side Lightbringer tend to be incredibly cool about multiboxing. Since I started my current team (using proper multiboxer naming conventions this time, dontchaknow), I get at least a whisper or /say each session, which often turns into a short conversation involving me pimping Keyclone and them promising to check out the forums.

I'm trying to think ... I'm pretty sure the closest thing to a negative comment I've gotten in two months multiboxing was a dude letting me know that it was against the ToS and I could get banned for it, so I should be careful, but good luck anyway, looks like fun. *shrug*

[lolzaz]

It was weird when i rerolled onto akama. i didn't know there were 3 other multiboxers on there :} so instead of getting hate whispers. i tend to get a "Oh god another one". or "Are you Firstrock??" 2 or 3 times a day X_X.


id rather have hate whispers. they amuse me. and i can be creative with responses.

[pegasus00000]

Most of the time I get "lol", "wtf", "reported", "bot", "get a life", "go outside", "cheater"... I think covers about 95% of the tells I get.

no kidding, I got those too plus, "Gold Farmer", "Account Seller", "Chinese Farmer Reported", one time I had a character on the Trade Channel yelling, I found 4 bots, they look the same, move at the same time, dress the same, reported. Which stir up entire talk about "No life", "South Park Fat Guy"..... etc I just sat there and laugh.

First post here I am dual boxing right now, I got a 3rd account on the RAF program, and I am working up a Pally and Druid. Got my first tell last night, accused me of "gliding". My response was, "2 computers and keyboards plus follow, are a wonderful thing". They kept telling me that I was botting lol. I must have an advanced bot, it can reply to foolish tells

Hopefully this will be the worst I get, but I doubt it.
