Do 5-boxers look down on 3-boxers?

[Ellay]

Were all equal I don't see any bias towards that since we all have the same goals.

[Bigfish]

3-boxing is fine. Ellay once blew the crap out of my 5 hunters with his 3 mages.

[Multibocks]

lol pwned.


I sometimes pause and wonder how much easier my wow life would be controlling just ONE character... especially in pvp. Then I remember how much it sucks LFG for an instance every day and your group falling apart after 1 wipe. Ya, then I remember how good I have it.

I love you as long as you multibox.

It makes me feel not quite so lonely.

Heh, I feel the same way. I ran into the first other multiboxer I've seen on Dalaran and man was I excited. It's like insta-friend. He was running 4 hunters w/ gorillas and a shaman. I'm looking forward to doing some BG's with him once we reach 80! Hell, possibly 10 man if we can find a tank (which should be easy enough).

Hey there! That's my team :P

Every multiboxer I have run into has been pretty friendly and helpful. While you're the second multiboxer I ran into on Dalaran, I've run into other friendly boxers during BGs on Stormsrike. And I ran into them while soloing on my rogue or pally. One thing is for certain, every boxer I've run into uses this site so they know the challenge regardless of how many "boxes" they use.

One thing to remember though, some multiboxers may seem a bit gun shy at first when they're approached because they tend to catch a lot of grief from people who don't like us. See ya around!

Boxing is all about the fun.
I have 4 elemental shamies, a lapa tank and a resto shaman healer. So I can run isntances by myself or just replace any of my group toons and get into the isntance with some friends.

A friend has DPS class toon and needs a tank and healer to run some instance... no problem, I can git the gap. Same if they already have a tank or healer or both of them.

Remember that WoW is a multiplayer game and playing with others is part of the game itself. Lots of times I leave some of my toons resting in the inn while playing the others with some friends.

What you can do if you still have RAF and less than lvl 60 group is the following when being ganked by some lvl 45 or so at lvl 30 in desolace. Just bring your lvl 80 and instead of ganking him with it grant lvls till 60 to your ganked toon. You can grant levels when it's dead, so it's ok. Then res and gank him with your brand new lvl 60 toon.

You may get reported for that because most people don't know about RAF bonus and just think you are cheating. Anyways, if a GM comes close to you it will be one of the very rare occasions when you can test his DMG7 power on you. When I get a whisper by a GM I always reply with "Can you use your DMG7 spell on me?" before even saying hello.
I wish I could use such a thing once per month with my boxing team just for the laughs of it.

I admit ive scratched my head a few times. Dual boxing is ok. nothing like having a pet healer or dps to follow you around, but the 3 and 4 boxers I dont understand. too many toons so half the quests become un-fun (collection) but not enough to do instances and the like. Makes me wonder why do that many and not go all the way to 5.

I dualed boxed, then triple boxed before I went all the way up to 5 characters, and there were a multitude of reasons why. The first was resources.

I had to buy a 2nd pc before I could move up to 3 toons, and while that machine is not all that great, it is fairly stout. Considering it was bought with the sole intention of multiboxing makes it truly a luxury purchase. Some folks can't afford to do that, nor can they afford to pay for anything above 3 toons a month. Maybe they can afford to but they don't feel like it.

Also, what if someone doesn't have the desire to play more toons than 3? I have a coworker that was the loudest about giving me shit when it came to multiboxing and now he plays two chars and swears he'll never go past that but who knows? I'm sure there are other folks who are of the same mindset about playing anything above 3 chars.

Playing anything above 2 toons is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of work and commitment, and with every new toon added into the mix there is even more work that needs to be done. I KNOW there are people out there who don't want to work that hard at putting all this stuff together. Lets face it, to really be successful at this it takes a bit of planning and configuring.

Whenever I see a multiboxer, whether they're playing 2 toons or all the way up to 5, it's almost like they're an instant friend. I salute, wave, dance, bow, applaud, kneel and anything else I can think of just to try to engage them. They're part of the multiboxing club. It doesn't matter to me if they occasionally do it, I'm truly happy to see em.

I'm with Starbuck. While I'd never look down on another multiboxer simply because they multiboxed, I do sometimes wonder why people 3 and 4 box. You're so close to 5 anyway, why not go the full 5?

For that matter, I also wonder about the "megaboxers", a la Sam and Prepared. I just can't see the point to it. But as they say, each to their own

As a triple boxer I have wondered that and it has been crossing my mind also being awesome in arena crosses me mind also. There is also cost to think about it too, like do you want to be paying and playing everymonth

I working on shammy team and spreist team with a dk ( 10 from lvl 55 now) there is so many combos that could work.

I have allways wondered what 5x holy pallies would look like.

it is allways cool to be able to do instances but i think alot of us pay for the extra boxes for the edge in pvp (and being able to do pve don't hurt either) I have heard some therories that triple or quad could be better as you have more minds to work with. Plus the way the DK sounds it totally sounds like he has changed the holy dynamic of multiboxing.

Personally I mainly 4 box. Mostly because a good friend of mine normally runs a tank for me. When they aren't on I've been working on meshing a DK into my group. Also I've found for ten mans just being four dps is a lot easier than being a melee and four dps for the fights you really have to move about.
