What do (other) people think of boxers

[matthyewclarke]

Hello All

Im (yet another) new guy to the Boxing world. Just rolled 3 druids on sporregar. All set up and ready to go. Cant wait to get leveling this evening!

I was however just wondering what kind of feedback/reactions people get you servers. So far the people i play with have had mixed opinions about it. Ive had everything from "its point less" to "its cheating" so far.

Is this the norm? should i get ready for a life of solitude. Or is there light at the end of the tunnel

Tbh i'll play either way. Just want to know what to expect

thanks

Sporeggar EU or US? D:

If it's EU, I can tell you exactly how the server feels about multiboxing!

On my server, Sporeggar(EU), I'm being tolerated by most of the communuti as a nice person and friendly player. It's a few individuals that are hating, but overall I'm just being cheered at. ^^

Its EU

Are you the guy (horde) with 5 shammy's?

Your mixed experience so far is pretty much the norm. The low levels inparticular are a total cesspit, at least on my server. It did get better as I levelled though, and even though I like to keep an ultra low profile I did acquire a couple of fans along the way

Try to keep the comments in perspective though.

I found myself feeling very negative about boxing when I first started out, then I realised that out of the hundreds of people I'd passed / interacted with during the day most had said absolutely nothing, three or four had said positive / neutral things to me, and only one had let rip with hate.

The mistake I made was letting that one hater get to me, irrational as it was. It's an easy trap to fall into.

As an aside, if anybody really wants some attention, stand in the middle of Shattrath and grant free levels to a character. Man did I get some whispers last night as I took my tree druid from 47 to 60

Yup, well, I quad-box 4 elemental shamans and I also play a solo enhancement shaman. So, i do have five shamans, also on 5 seperate accounts, but I don't actually multibox 5. Just 4.

It really just depends on the server you're on.

I have been playing on Burning Legion US for years now, and when I finally decided to multibox I wanted to keep playing on the same server - luckily enough, 99% of people on my side (horde) have been extremely supportive. Most of the time people /cheer when I walk by, thank me when I heal them, tell me what I'm doing is "awesome", etc. Theres a few sore people but I mostly just ignore them (or if they attempt to waste my time in some way then I severely punish them - see my thread about "Owned" by a rude single boxer, LOL).

It's been pretty much the same reaction for me. I also think being nice to people you meet along the way helps a lot. Giving people heals when they are fighting a mob, helping them kill stuff, etc... as I pass along builds goodwill.

Boxing is lame.

I think the most common hate tell I get is "get a life".

This confuses me a bit because they're playing the same game I am, so aren't they paddling the same boat? I was in AV the other day and there's a conversation in BG chat about me. And one guy says that I have no life and I live in mother's basement. Then another guy says, "no, if he has full S2 on all toons then he would have no life". I guess they think that only one person in the group gets honor at a time.

I generally ignore almost all tells I get unless I know the person or their guild. The moment I get a hate tell, I just /ignore.

The worst I've seen so far is, "thash lame" (yes, he misspelled "that's"). I'm not sure if it was the names of my trolls or if he figured out I was boxing.
