Am I too sensitive to the multi-boxer hate?

[BGuru]

About a month ago I was in Nagrand doing the Ring of Blood and was helping other groups do the quest, up comes this guy cursing me in /say about me being a cheater. I kept on helping the groups that came up, including the group the cursing guy was joined, he died and sent me a tell for a rez which I gave him. After helping this one group I started the quest and the group just stood there while I died, they then rode away laughing. The next day the same thing happened.

I quit playing WoW.

So patch 3.02 came out and back I come to WoW, I'm almost 70 now. Last night in IF one of my Shaman gets this tell "I can have you banned for using that addon" I ignored the tell, the guy starts in /yell about how I was a cheater and for everyone to report me. I got so mad but kept quiet.

I box mostly to do instances because I like to run an instance over and over and I hate waiting for a group. I always drop one of my characters to invite someone (even strangers) if they need a group, I stop boxing and bring one or more of my characters to help friends run an instance, I randomly help people as I'm passing by if they are in trouble.

All in all I feel that I'm a positive influence on my server.

I just get so mad and hurt when I get called a cheater. So am I too sensitive? Any tips on how to not get so upset? Sorry I just felt like venting I guess.

It took some getting used to but I just report spam these idiots now. I use to try to explain it to people now I just hit my "www.dual-boxing.com It's not cheating/hacking its multiboxing" macro and ignore them. You're a better person than I, I wouldn't have helped the idiots that were hating on me.

Same.. Luckily I had nitro deal with all the server hate before I came rolling along.

if you wrote this thread, you are too sensitive. Maybe going to bootcamp and dealing with jerks in the service helped me, but what I have seen in game is pretty laughable.

Just remember John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory:

meh, dont let it get to ya. When you do then they have won by getting in your head.

I find it easier to not respond to such ppl at all. Most ppl that hang out in IF or Shatt know those who cause trouble and most probably have them on /ignore as it is. lol

I was in SM last night after trying to kill the horseman, and was in the "lobby" (where all the instances are) with about 5 other horde killing Alliance as they entered. The pile of skellies was something to be proud of

Anyways, a new group of horde comes in to zone in. I see in /say: ewwww, dual boxer (this is after all the cheers and love from the horde I'm 'defending' SM with)

He then /says I hate dual boxers!

Me: So leave.
Him: Get bent
Me: Oh, you're a tough guy (he then zones)

Everybody else was laughing. Moral of the story, either ignore it or come up with a witty comeback. Just don't curse or harrass them, they're probably baiting you to be reported. I do report them when they curse, it just shows their true immaturity.

Every now and then, I'll loose my stoic resolve and let the hecklers get to me. A lot of the accusations are baseless. I wanted to start a guild called <Read the Fucking EULA Before You Send Me a Goddamn Whisper> but it wouldn't fit. I wish only educated, rational people played MMOs, but gamers come from society. And society attempts instill such values, but people, by their choose or choose not to conform. That's life.

When it comes to overt hostility, you've got to remember Internet Dickwad Theory. Anyone that *is playing* an MMO and accuses another person who *is also playing* an MMO of being a loser, inept, reprobate, has no life, etc... really has no moral or logical basis. It's like someone in jail accusing a cellmate of being a criminal. They, themselves, aren't in jail because they're just free-spirit. Arguing with a)hostile b)idiots c) on the internet is pointless on several counts. It's like winning the Special Olympics. Any way you look at it, you're still a fucking retard [yes, I'm going to hell].

I use to use "/say Don't be mad you're too slow to control more than 1 toon at a time, some of us just think faster than others"

I've found that matter where I go, there's always stupid people to be found who want you to know their opinion.
