I am really enjoying mlti-boxing except for one thing. I dread going where people are. I really don't like the attention, even positive attention. But logging in each character seperately to do necessary city work is extremely slow and so I usually take the group. I would say that I get a 5 to 1 ratio of positive comments to negative, but in general negative comments are so over the top they seem so much *stronger* than nice comments. For example, I logged in this morning to do some quests at Honor Hold and some guy started on this long diatribe telling me what I loser I was and how I needed an army to play because I sucked, on and on. I was tempted to argue with him and tell him that I had 70's that had seen all the end-game content and that my guild was one of the more respected on the server, but 1) I don't think he would care and 2) I don't want any negative things coming back to my main's guild.

I finally had to ignore him on all the toons. But it really bugged me and frankly ruined my morning.. which I am sure would make him very happy to hear. I hate the fact that Normal Person + Annonymity + Attention = dickwad, since I know in real life if you saw someone with 5 mercedes in their yard you would not rush over to them and tell them they are a loser and that they must have a small endowment to need that much bling. Or if your wife had on 5 peices of diamond jewlery I doubt anyone would tell her to her face that she is an elitest showoff lording it over everyone else. Or if you had 5 guard dogs would the guy next door sneer that you arn't much of a man because you need 5 dogs to protect you... I think not.

I think in general over the last 4 years I have been blissfully unaware of what jerks people can be because I have been unnoticible. Outside of my guild I keep to myself and never make waves or get into /trade arguments or /bg pissing matches, so I basically have been free of directed hostility to me. Now with multi-boxing I can't escape it.
