How other players interact with multiboxers

[shaeman]

'm sick of the kiddies.. i don't know why people want kids.. nothing but a pain in the ass.. anyway..

You're assuming they are kids. I'm pretty sure there are a fair few retarded adults giving the grief.
I've met fantastic considerate players in the game that have turned out to be early teens, and I've met spoilt brat "me,me,me" players that have turned out to be 20's or over.

I had the worst encounter once in Durotar with a hunter who put me on autofollow. Any time I would go to attack something, he would try to attack it first to steal it from me. I had to employ some misdirection and instant spells to get my kills. Eventually he got bored and left.

You can actually report thi. Had it once on a single char, some lvl70 was stealing my kills. I wrote a ticket and in a few mins a GM got to me allready.

I had some smart guy doing the same thing, following me around and stealing the mobs I was targeting, in the dwarf/gnome starting area!! I just spread out and danced with him until he got tired of waiting and left to go bother someone else. Not exactly a viable tactic if you are higher level on a pvp server, but I find that just staying put and /dancing is a fun way to frustrate someone that's being nasty into leaving you alone.

So far I've gotten some "whoas" and "lols", no hate tells yet but I'm sure they're coming.

The best ones so far? Some form of "OMG SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!" heheh I guess it can be hard to resist 5 rainbow-haired hopping gnomes

Luckily, all of the following...

The Genius
The Pest
The Excessively Amused
The Hater
The Poor Child

are solved by judicious use of /ignore.

I have to admit that I started off having conversations with even the worst of the muppets but now just can't be bothered.

/ignore FTW

They also go on my Vanos KOS and/or hate list, so won't get any aid from my single-box chars.

The Friends List Adder:

Can be either a blessing or a curse, simply by multiboxing you get a large amount of people keeping you on their friends list. While this can be good that people always ask you to join their instance groups, most of the time they fill the other slots with a horrible tank or healer, or have four dps in one group. And when you're busy, you get constant tells "Do you want to hit up XX instance?" Since there are so many of them, it's nearly impossible to remember who actually knows how to play and who is just a multiboxing-fascinated although unskilled player (I've had a few just watch me, sitting there and only marginally helping out the 5 man group)

The Neutral Town Camper:

Opposite faction only. When they see a multiboxer, they call in their entire guild and kill you in a neutral town such that it's impossible to even hand in a quest, spamming "XX claps for you, clearly unimpressed" emotes. They may pay hundreds, if not thousands of gold in total repair bills from dying to neutral guards, but they have satisfaction! Surely killing a no-life basement dwelling multiboxer makes them experienced socialites.

The Watcher:

Follows you around, but from a distance. Can be from either faction. Always stays on mount or in stealth. Never says anything but just watches you for a very very long time as you quest, do dailies, etc.

The Foreigner:

Believe it or not, I've had tons of people try to talk to me in Chinese. Some of them actually seem legitimate though... When I first started my team in valley of trials a level 1 female orc warrior kept speaking to me in Chinese and it was obvious she was trying to find out how it was being done! (I have basic knowledge in Mandarin)

The Pauser:

When riding past you doing city errands, stops, turns towards you for a second, scratches their head and runs away.

The Multiple Emoter:

Feels that they have to repeat an emote targeted at each character, because "Greeting everyone with a hearty hello" is not nearly as good as 3 separate emotes.

I have to admit, I use to hate you guys, and thought you guys were wasting money and time for doing this. Judging a book by its cover, but after I opened it and started reading, seems like a very fun and some what inexpensive hobby.(Comparded to other Hobbys like fishing,gardening, etc, and more fun). I can't wait till I start doing this.

I ran into a Genius today...

17:15 [Twôhôrny]: what a looser
17:37 [Oxoa]: ni hao
17:38 [Twôhôrny]: ?
17:44 [Oxoa]: nothing, I just wanted to verify the spelling of your name for my harrassment petition.
17:44 [Twôhôrny]: what harassment?
17:44 [Oxoa]: 17:15[Twôhôrny]: what a looser
17:45 [Twôhôrny]: ohh ok dont worry i alrdy put in a petition for u 8) u have a nice day now u hear
17:46 [Oxoa]: glad you did, you see multiboxing isn't illegal
17:47 [Oxoa]: so, you have a nice day as well
17:47 [Twôhôrny]: thats what the last one said till they got in trouble for it 8)
17:48 [Oxoa]: I'm sure. Which is why I have 5 70's I multiboxed from 1-70, as well as another 4 that I leveled from 1-63 and these locks now.... I've talked to many GM's about it.

I was going to leave well enough alone, but the name really offended me... such an abuse of Two vs Too... and the guy ignored me before we finished, so I figured what the hell, and petitioned his name for being in violation of the naming conventions... And because if you /friend someone, their name updates on your friends list if it gets changed, I friended him...

Issege is his new name... I hope he enjoys it.

Did you come here from the Gen. WoW forums from my repost?

[Tasty]

That Gen Forums post is almost as much fun as multiboxing itself. Many lols
