A lot of the flaming is done before the battle starts and people inspect your gear.
--> If you're still gearing up, you'll get some "LOLs" or "oh great, a multiboxer... this is fail".
--> If you're well-geared from the get-go, people either don't say a word or they say "AWESOME WE GOTZ A MULTIBOXER! WIN!"
So true right there. My gear is only half way decent now (still have a few pieces of savage), but I don't get the flames anymore. Now most of the time it's nothing, even if I carry them to a 4 cap. The worst is when they cheer that they got a multiboxer and it's a guaranteed win, then the other 11 of them follow me around the whole game and we lose everything we cap (this is especially true in AB which I mostly quit once I got 100 marks)... then they just lose faith in multiboxers.

I don't really know where people get such strong opinions about multiboxers on Reckoning. I've run into a grand total of 0 in battlegrounds and arena, and I've done several hundred games. And on Nathrezim, to my knowledge I'm the only 80 multiboxer on Horde, unless there's one with a mixed group that hides out in heroics all day that I haven't seen. As such most people know me at this point, but I still get the occassional "lol failbox" idiot running by or the whispers about how pathetic I am for spending $75 a month. And in recruiting healers for 5v5 (practice I call it) some of them say sorry, I've rolled with a multiboxer before and it was fail (who? there are so few of us...)
