Thanks for the responses. For me, the hassling only started recently. I only play horde for what that's worth.

Personally, I definitely don't hassle them back (with 5x /w or /friend -ing them to chat them up later) because THAT could be construed as player griefing and/or spam (probably not, by why mess around?). Anyway, I think from now on, I'll just respond with my WoW forums link and follow with /ignore and be done with it. I guess a part of me wants to open people's eyes to what else is possible in the game. Then, another part of me is reminded that one of the reasons I play 5 toons is to never have to group with know-it-all a-holes like these :thumbsup:

For the most part, boxers I think are a mature group, given the dedication and financiall means it takes to be successful. We also seem to be really 'into' learning the mechanics of the game.
Remember, how you act in the game reflects on us all - and will often end up posted on /General.

If someone whispers that they're going to report you, simply respond "Great! I'll wait while you do so, tell the GMs they can feel free to contact me - are you spelling my name right?" Be polite. No swearing, or anything that can get you reported - unless it's another faction, and it's a PvP realm...hey, PvP happens.

There will always be the know-it-alls who just *know* you're cheating. Educate them. They'll never admit they're wrong, but if you tell them to whisper you after they talk to a GM, that will shut them up, most of the time.

I'm lucky, I guess, I usually just get some Horde doofus who tries to interfere with my mobs, or chain group or duel requests to my team. I've pugged a few times, warned the other two I was MBing, they did'nt seem to care, and every once in a while I get asked for help, or someone will watch me AOE a group or something. Honestly, I have more problems with players stealing quest items or waiting for me to clear and then they run in and grab a named mob or an herb or something.

Draenor, btw - there's a few teams here, I see them every once in a while.

It's laughable how much abuse we as a community get, but how polite and non-belligerent we are. We don't act like fools on forums, and brag and talk smack, we don't abuse other players in-game (well...what happens on a BG stays on the BG, lol), we follow the rules, we don't try to hide what we're doing, and we can be great help if people work with us - but if you just read the forums, you'd think every server was a wasteland of corpses with a few MBers laughing maniacally one-shotting everything in sight. And there's virtually no abuse or complaints about AFKers anymore, or win-traders, or the idiocy in chat channels, and botters get complained about once in a while. We get more abuse than gold spammers!

It's not going to make me stop, or start acting badly like they do, but it does get to you once in a while.








For about 10 seconds, then I don't care again.
