"Reported"-__-'

UGH! Sorry about the multiple posts guys, my PC went all spastic. For some reason I can't delete them so hopefully someone will help me and clean it up. Thanks!

Was questing in WPL yesterday, helping some guildies.
Burned down the Scarlet front command tent (or whatever it's called) and raised the flag, ran back to the bulwark to hand in and realised my slaves hadn't completed it as they all needed to raise the flags.
So I run all the way back there and just before I arrive I pass some mage who has something against multiboxers. Que the abuse, when I get to the quest area (the mage was on the same quest by the looks of it) I agro all the guys and start to kill them, but realise the mage is going to try burn down the tent. Not waiting to wait for it to respawn, considering I'm doing the clearing, I run in with one of my slaves and burn it down. Que more abuse about being a wanker, jizzbag, etc. Apparently I'm not allowed to do quests before others, even if I do all the clearing.
He just gets the normal polite response.

Few minutes later an idiot who was in one of the same areas as me when I was around 20 pipes up "lol wut is with that guy and his shammys" and then the debate over "why waste money multiboxing" started. Got a bit sick of it so I started going at him with the multiboxing hate bandwagon thing. His reason for hating multiboxers = " ". Yep, nothing.

Some people are pathetic. Jump on the bandwagon but dont like it when it turns out we have our own opinion.

If anyone annoys you too much just whisper my horde character and I'll be in the area in five minutes to 'ease your burden' if you catch my drift ;0 /wink

The best way to deal with these people is to be very cute and nice to them in response, untill they get so pissed off that they do actually say something bad enough to get a time out from the gm's, then report them

Hell yea! I completely agree and do the same thing. I act nice to them and sometimes they either "act" nice back or just leave me alone. I must say that I love the random tells from people saying "by the way, I just reported you lololol". I just laugh and tell them I'm dying to chat with a GM. Despite the fact that I've been reported multiple times, I have yet to chat with a GM.



I
tried

Yeah I agree with that.

"Reported for botting"
"cool"

Tends to end the conversation pretty quickly :P

theres also

"Reported for boxing"

Surely if they know the term for what we're doing they know its not against the rules.... :S

Anyone else noticed that when some peoples ask "omg wtf is that?" , ALWAYS some random-70 comes and whines "Multiboxing. He is spending 150e in a month to computer-game" or similiar? (though real cost with 4 shamans and RAF is like 37e)

I've been multiboxing on Uldaman for about 2 years. I've never once received anything from any Game Masters (GMs) nor received any email about any warning or ban. I have on a few occasions been told by players to 'Watch it' or 'so-and-so has reported you for botting' which most players don't know the difference between boxxing and botting. On the current realm that I am multiboxing shaman, I've been told many times by several players that I could get into trouble for having multiple accounts. The problem is that many players don't understand that boxxing is fine as long as you're at your keyboard hitting keystrokes controlling your characters. Boxxing doesn't mean botting. Botting means that there is some automation of a character happening where you're not at your keyboard. The makers of World of Warcraft don't like that. As long as you're at your keyboard controller your character(s), you're fine.



When a GM receives a report about someone, they will look into it, but when they find that you're boxxing, they will leave it at that. Boxxing multiple characters is fine.

Are you H or A? If your the 5 4 or 5 A i see on the island then i know you. If ur H, i look forward to seeing u in BG's 8)

Hehe. Far as I know he's not, report him anyway imo. He may be a part of my faction but hacking kills the game for everybody

edit: I forget what my hrodes name is I'll check later sometime. I want to have a level 1 alt in each of the main zones so I need to get them summoned by a warlock :P /listeningeneral

[valkry]

Hey jamien, I'll add you tonight with my hordie lol

[Jamien]

Feel free to Valkry
Jamien, Aphrim, or the Zapcows.

Tasty - I've got a warlock too if you need the summons. Laexe.

Multiboxing is extremely common on my server. And our top rated raider ( he also happens to be my best friend ) has two shammies, so we don't get too many whines about it. The only response I get is: "OMG cool, twins!" People love seeing my baby mage and shammy running around. I even tagged a mob someone was going after on accident, ( can't see very much when you have two wows! ) I apologized quickly after I noticed him, and helped him take down another mob as repayment. He didn't say one word against me, but launched a conversation asking me if multiboxing is hard.

People on my server have a healthy respect and curiosity about multiboxing, especially when i tell them that i am all manual. I have even gotten instance groups for the twins, and i let them know that i am both the mage and the shaman, and am new to the whole thing, and they have no issues with taking it slow.

One plus to multiboxing: if someone is trashing your friends, you reply to them, they ignore you, pop over to thing 2 and lol as they get angrier.
