Anyone else feel guilty about a loss?

Don't feel guilty,

Marilyn Manson didn't feel guilty for the high school shooting either

Here's a typical chain of events in the case of a BG loss:

" helplessplayer1: why can't i get a win today??
randomscrub1: well, it doesn't help that we have one guy using four slots
helplessplayer1: what?
me: All of my toons have more kills, damage, flag captures, flag returns and HKs than you.
randomscrub1: gj farming kills in mid
me: ...
"

I then press shift+spacebar and /sigh at the guy who has 0 kill 7 deaths and calls me out for using multiple slots.

People need excuses that don't include themselves so when they lose they don't ask what they could have done (besides increase their hp from 6500) they just point their finger at whatever looks different from usual.

I haven't done anything but AB on my shaman team, but I'm 9 wins, 0 losses there... every time I've had close to losses I've been able to convince people to quit being awed by me and actually go play... the worst one I had 3 followers, putting us @ 7 players at the node I was at... I'd move, they'd follow, they would sometimes kill who i fought, but most often people died fast enough without them...

I've got a 5th shaman now and I've vowed not to play again til 70, but all said and done, I don't see the 5 boxer as the weak point. Especially in AB if they will work with you that leaves 2 for each node of a 5 cap, and you to roll defense between the nodes as a mobile gank squad...

Guess your right FtGeno lol. I have a habit now of kinda shutting people up now lol. They rant and rant in a game then I go whenever your done we can begin playing. And that usually shuts them up

I just find it funny how many idiots there are in this game that cant see the forest through the trees lol.

If your multiboxing in a BG and your team is losing your going to end up getting blammed for it, it may or may not be your fault (usually it wont be as 99% of people in BGs are terrible) but just expect people to rail you for it and move on. No big deal

Your standard terribad battleground pugger expects to win 100% of the time. In their strange little world, WoW is designed to let every player win every game. Therefore, when they lose, it immediately creates a paradox - this poor guy's brain just doesn't understand the idea that he could lose a battleground. Therefore, the brain immediately searches for some reason to explain the phenomenon. Afk players, players with poor gear, multiboxers, poor battleground queueing system, and faction racial abilities all get thrown in the mix. If you weren't there, it'd be one of the other aforementioned reasons that these children would choose to start spamming /bg with instead of playing the game happily.

I've come to this conclusion after playing for years - most people who play WoW don't understand that anybody loses in battlegrounds. Sounds stupid, but there it is.

Lol!

Wise words, maybe a bit blown up though :P

Its funny, after watching people trash multiboxers when I was single boxing.....I never really paid much attention. Now that I am the multiboxer I am like damn, some of these people had it rough with the MB hate.

Between the MB hate and the MB followers, I cant catch a break lol.

People think that since I am lvl 70 now with 5 shamans I should be wtf pwning peeps and they dont know this takes time

[Nmagrig]

Oh on a side note....maybe its just me. But has anyone noticed that the opposing teams are getting smarter when playing against a multiboxer? For me like in EoTs for example, depending on the gear of some people, they will float with me. If I shift to DR, they shift to DR. This is where you go well then your team goes behind them and takes a base right? Nope.

Or the other strat they use is staying away from me all together. If I am playing D, they just dont come to me. When I go O, nobody covers the base I was at. So in effect, the opposing side neutralizes me in a way.

Im learning BGs as a multiboxer and getting better. My real focus though is PvE. However, I feel no guilt at all if anyone wants to blame me for a loss. If someone gives me grief I respond with something like QQ more I like the taste of your tears If I bother at all. Bottom line for me is screw them why would I possibly care what some person thinks of my play style. Just because you play WoW doesnt mean your brilliant--if only brilliant players were allowed into BGs then there would be 5 games a day.Its also as said taken as a given that a 5 boxer is as good or even better than 5 seperate organised people. This is the main problem because we most definitely are not.

I go in, I dont slack. I defend, I take posts, I respond to Incs and try my best to help my team and try my hardest to win. If someone wants to give me grief because of that then- 'to hell with them' (Conan).

As a new MBer (70 atm) I am getting a feeling from these forums that a lot if not most of the MBers posting here are quietly ashamed of their MB status. Its like some throw back to being a second class citizen where only good folks (thats not you) are allowed into the BGs, allowed to world PvP. Its like youre apologising that you MB or something. Proud and Loud brassy and classy :-)
