Stupid stuff I did MBing...

I became slightly schizofrenic during my first two long sessions of multiboxing. I started to think about myself in third person and planning tasks that would be impossible for me to do irl at the same time, it was incredibly weird... :S

I've been at it since June last year, and I still do that! Especially after having a good old WoW binge on a weekend, it takes me an hour or two to shake the idea that I'm ... multiple. Eek. It's a mild sensation, sure, but the fact that it exists at all probably would get me committed in the early 1900s ...

Well, I just started 5-boxing last weekend so while I hope that these remain the stupidest things I do while multiboxing, I suspect that it's just the start of even stupider mistakes to come!

First, since I loved druids back when I played WoW solo, I rolled up a team of 5 druids and when I got to 16 I went to get the aquatic form quest. I think I looted at least my 7th or 8th bauble thing from underwater before I remembered that even though the quest timer gives you half an hour, once you loot the item it only lasts for a few minutes. I was very thankful when I realized that I could just buy the ability from the trainer instead...

Then, following the awesome RAF 1-60 TourGuide, I was doing the quest in Bloodmyst to "coerce" the secret message from Sunhawk elves. I looted it on my first kill, happily ran back to Blood Watch and I must have stared at the screen for five minutes wondering why only my main got a quest completed message. I guess the questgivers won't accept four characters pointing at the main and saying, "seriously, we did find it, he just gave it to you, right?"

ROFL... isn't that the truth.

Initially made a single mount/dismount macro that would dismount if already mounted, and vice versa. Went to mount with one toon on the ground while others were flying, and *splat*. I've since taken dismount out of all mount macros and simply changed the dismount keybind in the WOW interface to fix that.

Started a guild run in H VH with me comprising all 3 DPS. After a few trash group kills taking forever, I realize that I had not tweaked my targetting macros properly to work when not running in my full group mode and my shaman and warlock were not killing a damned thing.

Also running up to a ledge in Fjord and stopping the tank right at very edge. Didn't take into account lag in updates between all the windows. All my toons stopped, except the warlock. He flies off the ledge on his dreadsteed, spins mid-air to face me again, and I swear I could see a tear in his eye as he disappeared from sight.

Last week I was flying out to do gundrak from dalaran. I had autorun on while I flew.

My dog came looking for some attention so I started petting him. I look up at the screen a few moments later and all my guys are dying from exhaustion - they had flown way off into the ocean. I turned them around and flew as far back towards land as quick as I could, but they all died. I then ran all the way out to where they died and rezzed, but I was still too far out and died from exhaustion again. Had to spirit rez x 5 for petting the dog. Sigh.

apart from the usual not picking up quest one one and breaking follow. my best nub moment was at cenarian in zangar, just finished handing in quests and an alliance cheered me, so i spread out, target her with all my toons and /dance... then a friend whispers me and so when i reply i hit '2' shammies unleash lightning upon the poor alliance. Guards subsequently pummel me into the ground.


There is also a toon pulling another group in an instance, still haven't worked out how that happens but it never ends well.
