I am so proud.

Q u o t e:
This guy is paying $100 a month to play an online video game. Who's the real loser here?

I'd say you. Obviously $100 is a lot of money for you. That's sad. For some of us it's a small, even trivial amount of money.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wtf pwnt Ive never seen somebody respond like that.

i wonder how that person is getting $100 from. I think that person needs to go back to school. If he was using 6 accounts then it would have been $90, but i think schwarz is using 5 so that is only $75. Where did the extra $10 come from? Oh maybe his mommy pays for his account cause he cannot leave the basement so he doesn't know how much the account is.

lol maybe when someone says the basement, just say "no i don't, i live in the attic the basement is too cold".

I replied to this thread with what I think is the best way to shut up the naysayers.

The money issue is a very good point and makes me laugh, too. However, whether or not someone's a loser or just has a good job is totally beside the point of whether it should be legal.

I always point out that multiboxing is NOT an advantage over 5 individuals. That a multiboxer does not make 1 character super powerful. That people should learn to group up more if they don't like 5 people taking them down. That 5 people SHOULD always kill 1 lone person. That it doesn't use any hacks or bots.

I never have many people arguing with these points. The stubborn ones will make lame arguments about how it violates the "spirit" of the game, which pretty much make no sense at all and are more a way to try and win an unwinnable argument by bringing incomprehensible concepts to the table. "Spirit of the game", give me a break. (someone actually said that in this thread)

One of the funny aspects is that so many consider us to be trust fund kids. Or kids working the same jobs as them spending a disproportionate amount of money on the game.

If I had to guess, I say that a number of us are spending fewer hours of salary per month on WoW than a lot of the people calling us losers.

I wonder how many of them complaining about $100 a month have at least a $50 a month cell phone, and $90+ a month cable tv.

To me, the issue is this; Multi-boxing gives an advantage of one human person over another. It does not, as we all know, necessarily give multi-boxed toons an advantage over an equal number of other toons.

Because of the "human advantage", this hurts people's ego/ePeen; their need to be better than YOU. Personally, I can't stand these types of people IRL and all their bitching resulting of this mindset makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

What I love about the multi-boxing community is that nearly everyone is proud of other's accomplishments and work to help each other out. My kind of people

There are other advantages. The communication between my 4 accounts is "perfect". Targeting and assisting is quicker (although there are mods for focus fire among groups). Adjusting to movement is very difficult, however. A shaman sitting in his totem forest isn't very mobile.

The major difference in the battlegrounds is that a MB'ed group has a single plan, and if you've ever played the BG's, you know that actually executing a plan is practically cheating. You get the same results from taking a guild group into a regular BG, it's just that you don't all look alike and fire in perfect syncro.

Well i sort of aways for MB. The reason i say sort of is that my first experience was in a BG. I saw 4 sham do everything the same way and so and so (the normal complaints) i was really pissed off at the MB. Not because she was MB i thought it was a bot at first. That is the only reason, after i found out it was MB not botting i found this site and 3 months later i was boxing. But if i someone told me they have 5 accounts i wasn't like WTF get a life, i was like cool i am going to do that.

lol if they are complaining about $100 a month wait till they buy a house and have to pay bills. $100 a month is nothing compared to a 2k mortgage a month.

Yeah. I believe I'm paying $50 per month for 5 accounts being that I sign up for 6 months at a time. Assuming I don't buy many other games (I don't), I probably spend less than the average person on gaming even if I have 5 accounts. A new game for a console costs $60 these days. After taxes I bring home 10x that amount per week of work, and my fiancee makes double what I make on top of that (computer programmer FTW). The money issue is a cheap way to put people down. There isn't a person alive who hasn't spent money on a hobby. There isn't a hard-working person alive (in the USA anyway) who can't afford to pay that much for a hobby.

That is why i hated doing BG without a pre-made (before they patched it). It was if you didn't have a pre-made you didn't win. With a premade you won because you told everyone what to do before you enter and you win 9 out of 10 times. Like eye, we had group 1 grab our 2 towers and group 2 and 3 would rush one of theres and once we got it we went for the other one.
