If Blizzard removed /follow then would you still multibox?

[keyclone]

to be honest, it's just a stupid question for two reasons. one, the OP admits to having read/have knowledge of previous threads on the subject... so why rehash? i could understand if he himself had no knowledge of the previous threads... but the claim is that he does (post #8 ). to get the opinion of current boxers which would be the exact opinion of boxers 6, 12, or 24 months ago. which leads to reason number two... make it so i cannot move and of course i would stop playing. there is an implied 'duh' in there somewhere.

and i reiterate my question... what is to be gained by asking a question which, to be honest, is akin to 'if your power went out, would you still multibox'.

if the point is to fret about things beyond our control... and put the thought into peoples mind.. congrats, you've found a topic. this combined with knowledge of the prior threads makes me question the timing.

as for that thread that was 'way back last year'... (Will Blizzard take a stand on dual-boxing? ) that was the most recent... from dec 8, 2008 (not even 2 months ago). fursphere mentions the removing follow option here, in post #20

why the hell would anyone think this has anything to do with Evilseed or mouse cloner?

this is the internet. one of the main tools is FUD. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. this thread would score Fear and Uncertainty

i hope you can see why people would question the timing given a similar thread was posted not 2 months ago. and yes, evilseed had posted on it

Wow, reading comprehension FTL (enough WoW forum speak for ya?)

Previous threads mentioned the if Blizzard wanted to nerf MB then they would take away /follow. I mentioned that I didn't see any threads dedicated to how users would react. I'm sorry you can't see the difference between "I'm scared the sky is falling and Blizzard is going to take away our functionality" and a question that refers to what steps users would take. If you don't like the thread, then stop bumping it (or delete it for all I care, it really wasn't supposed to be such a controversy)... there are other less unique, less interesting threads right on the General Discussion front page waiting for you.

I'm sorry you don't think the MB population has changed within the past 12 months. I think many would disagree with you. I'm sure it's going to change a great deal over the next 12 months as affordable computers, which have the capability to run multiple instances w/o too much lag, become more prevalent.

As far as the Owltoid = Evilseed, where is the tin-foil-hat emoticon?

did i say anywhere that owltoid == evilseed?

Don't you see? All this fighting means the terrorists win!

Hugs! Hugs all around! Feel the love!

IF there was no follow I would cancel all my acounts and find a new game. If I wanted to play solo I wouldnt be boxing.

You have now. It's about time he was excised.

/begin exorcism
[Owltoid]: I'm not Evilseed.
[Basilikos]: Well, then let's introduce ourselves. I'm Basilikos; I'm the guy who gave you the benefit of the doubt about your dirty little program. This is personal - you deceived me.
[Owltoid]: And I'm the Mouseconner. Now kindly read my forum-alt propaganda and buy my software.
[Basilikos]: If you're the Mouseconner, why not own up to what you are doing to this community?
[Owltoid]: That's much too respectable for me, Basilikos.

Later...

[Basilikos]: I cast you out! Unclean automator!
[Owltoid]: Shove it up your ass, you hardware-boxer!
[Basilikos]: In the name of our Lord Fursphere! It is he who commands you! It is he who flung you from dual-boxing.com to the depths of mousecloner.com!
[Owltoid]: Fuck him!
[Basilikos]: (Repeated) The power of Keyclone compels you! The power of Keyclone compels you!

Lol, I was hoping this thread would die, but that was a worthwhile bump, Basilikos!

[elsegundo]

to add to my last post, which is probably overshadowed by countless "is this thread necessary" posts..

i'd play dungeon siege over and over again to satisfy my multibox urges. though its not really multibox, it comes close to making me believe i control four characters.

:thumbsup:

i bow to the power of Basilikos

/bow

now let's forget this silliness and get back to pwning anything that walks by...
