Stupid people that are against MB

Remember, in the U.S.A.:

Murder = PG
Boobie = Teen
Bad Language = Mature

Don't ask me why. I live here and still don't understand it.

Honestly I understand why people are against multi-boxing. It provides an advantage over other players on a human to human basis. Character to character there is no real advantage. But when you look at it from the perspective of people sitting behind the screen its an advantage you can essentially purchase. The advantage comes at the cost of extra money for monthly subscription costs and game purchase.

This is one of the biggest reasons people play these games, to escape real life and be in an environment where everyone starts off with an equal chance. In real life if you are competing for lets say a rare item like a luxury car, it will always go to the person with the most money. In game a rare item can be gotten through hard work and skill. The rich guy has no advantage. It can be said you get money IRL through hard work and skill, but that isnt always true, it has a lot to do with luck and who you know, and how rich your family is.

So then the way I see it, you are basically paying Blizzard, hardware vendors, and software creators(keyclone etc..) extra money to have an advantage over other people in a competetive game.

That said, the extra cost is relatively minor for any person working full time. But a lot of kids play WoW and they have no income, so I imagine they are the most likely demographic to have a problem with MBers.

Not to mention software applications that we use give us an ability to do things in game that are not humanly possible, how can that ever be considered fair? I remember playing against Aelli for the first time in 5v5 arena and my first feeling was "How can blizzard be ok with that? There isnt a human on earth that could activate 16 abilities in less then 2 seconds on 4 clients without the help of hardware or software assistance."

The ones who complain the loudest about it being an "unfair" advatantage are also the ones that will get run throughs of lowbie instances by a 70 or camp a level 30 w/ a 70 or /lol@ some ungeared 70 they just crushed while s3/s4 geared.

As far as everything else. Too friggin bad. I mind my own buiseness and do my own thing. I'm getting tired of hearing the bitching and whining and the vast majority of it is jealousy. Screw them.

[wowphreak]

here's something that always worked for me ignore them
All they can really do is whine and if they become pesky report them real simple.

The only advantage that a multi boxer gets is not having to wait for a group.

Anything a multi boxer can do can be done better by a group with actual people sitting behind them.

This is what many people fail to see and comprehend. They also think we are incapable of playing the game without cheating.

My favorite spot to set up macros and test them is outside org by the farm near the Zeppelin tower, just ends up that's where I do most my tweaking. I get onlookers who stick around for hours watching me kill pigs and run around in circles testing /follow. I get duel challenges all the time, and if the player is similar level, I'll accept and lose, almost every time. I have like no decent gear on any of my toons, and by themselves they are weak as hell. Most of them are still wearing lvl1 gear and empty slots. I duel them to show, I'm really not all that, but when I'm together, I'm a force to be reckoned with. Then comes the obligatory "lol you really sux noob, that's why yous box, you can't win unless you cheats, etc. etc." K one second, brb. Toon1 logs out, and is replaced by a S3/4 Warrior.

Just because I box doesn't mean I don't know how to play a single toon.

I am surprised swearing has any repercussions. The game is rated "M" and there is a filter not to say being rude is acceptable but I was always under the impression use of swear words was not a banable offense.

you might want to read the terms of use some time instead of just blindly clicking accept.

Gear down there big shifter see if I get you a Christmas present now.

Life isn't fair, and neither is Azzeroth. Still, I don't see how multiboxing is unfair. Sure, you have 5 toons at your command, but you are also responsible for 5 toons vs only 1. I think the con's balance out the pro's; and I think that is as close an approximation of "fair" as anything else in Wow (life doesn't come anywhere near as close).

I also disagree that the advantages of multiboxing are "purchased". It is difficult to multibox, and there is alot of hard work, thought, and experimentation separating the time that you buy additional accounts and reach a point where you can achieve anything comperable to what a group of 5 individuals could accomplish. So when you buy your accounts and start on day 1, you have all the disadvantages, and non of the advantages. Sure, you can rule the starting area, but so can a single level 5 character, and he doesn't have to worry about getting followers stuck on bushes.

IMO, good multiboxers were excellent players already, and the reason they seem imbalanced is because you have an excellent player controlling a whole group rather than an excellent player who's skill is dilluted by the skill of the other players in his or her group.

The "unfairness" argument always gives me a chuckle. It takes a large dose of naivete or self-delusion to believe in the equality of human social interaction.

Just give them a pat on the back, tell them to keep it up, and they might change the world some day... ROFLMAO.

Also Hackers (i know old movie, the movie they where like "OMG you have a 28.8 modem), they have another boobie shoot in it (of Angelina Jolie) and it was also rate PG-13.

[topichijack]
Hackers 1? The one where they have a huge mainframe that goes like "AMAAGAAAD ITS SHOOTING LIGHTNING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!1" at the end?

Man, that movie has humor in it. >.<

Its like... its so incredibly bad that its actualy good, like kung-pow.

Hackers 2 was decent tough, while hackers 3 is a bit so-so imo.
