The End

[Hatred]

So I finished the huge grind of leveling my 5 Shaman to 80. I was starting to gear them up but I have hit my end. My frustrations have gotten the best of me. Some of the content seems to /slap multiboxers in the face. When you change zones the followers fall off, Wintergrasp or any other vehicles are a pain in the ass and every class and boss has some type of AOE. After putting in all the work to get my guys finished off I have had my fill. I transferred all my toons to 1 account and canceled the subscriptions on my other four accounts. Are others feeling the same way I am about this new content or did I just get overly sensitive about it? Either way I have had my fill with the changes.

I had a great time boxing and to be honest this community is truely amazing. The people here are unlike anywhere else I have been online. YOU people take the time to help others without flaming them. You are kind, helpful and just all around good people. Granted I did not post much in the 6 or so months I five boxed but I was here reading on a daily basis. Keep up the good work that you are doing here on the site and continue keeping the assholes away.

To finish this off I just want to truely thank ALL of you for the help you have given me in my adventure of multiboxing. You may not have directly talked to me but your forum posts helped me in one way or another. Maybe I'll come back to boxing, maybe I wont but either way the people on this site made learning to box a true pleasure. Keep up the good work helping the new people that come along. What you have here is truely special. Thanks again!

Forgive my ignorance, but whats the purpose of transferring the toons?

Jamba can fix that. Just, you know, for anyone else who has that problem.

I doubt that it can re-establish follow automatically while on 280% movement speed (flying mount).

[edit] But anyway, I'm a bit bored by the eternal grind too.

Everyone has a line. If these were the conditions I had to agree to when I started multiboxing I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem. It HAS gotten worse for us and because we've known something better it is a little hard to take.

Right now, for me, there are so many quests chains that require collections to get through I have become very frustrated myself. That and the fact that, so far, it seems like there is little love for elemental shaman - so many of the initial quest rewards give tons of extra int or mp5 but require me to give up spell power that it makes me mad. I'm sure it will all work out over the next several levels.

When I begin to feel the overwhelm I switch to my rogue, level a bit, gank horde a bit and change what the game will be about for me. Then I'm able to come back and continue the grind.

A day off every now and then too helps. (sounds like work doesn't it?)

Its so you can stay subscribed to one account and play any of the 5 at your leisure. $15/month instead of $75/month makes more sense for those who do not want to box anymore.

I account tranferred them so I could continue to use them. I can spec 1 Resto, 1 Enchance and 1 Elemental. Not to mention the professions I can have on each of them. If i was just to cancel the 4 accounts then I would have basically lost access to the toons totally. Why lose them when I can put them to good use?

Edit: It's only $100.00 to transfer all 4 onto 1 account. I was paying almost that much a month to box anyway.

I dont believe it can. I am no computer expert but I read that something was changed with wow so zones somewhat change based on certain quests. That being the case, it appears that when you change zones your toons kind of "fade away" as they cross into an area. Some will go through into the new zone and some wont, causing you to have to move them 1 by 1 into the new zone. If you happen to catch the corner of a zone you end up having your slaves fall off follow over and over until you are fully into a zone. My problem wasn't my toons just falling off in random places, thats easy to keep an eye on. You will see what I am talking about eventually.

that only happens if they all havent done the same quests...otherwise, you shouldnt have any issues with phasing.

Actually this isn't true. I did EVERY quest on each toon. Even the horrible collection quests, and they still fell off.
