Overall Attitude?

Out of curiosity, what level are you?

Most of my "zomg botter" somehow shifted to "zomg cheater/powerleveler/account seller" after I hit my mid-50's. I think they figured out that if I was almost 60, I must have been reported at least once.

Alleviate your stress by making a macro:

Indeed, generally speaking I get constant whispers on my server, 80% of the people I saw from level 1 - 30 (apart from in big cities) whispered me, said something in /s or even started spamming general chat.

The best way to cope is simply a macro or two which can response to various questions / statements such as the one Vyndree wrote.

The community is alot more accepting on Magtheridon, but we still have a few dumbass who say reported.

>.< You people keep tempting me to roll my boxers on Mags, I might just do it when I get up and rolling lol

[Eteocles]

If you do, roll Alliance damnit :p

In my experience with the diablo twins and double druids, most of the "wtfhaxreportedlolololz" came from sub-30 lvls; from 20 onward things get better, and some of the 30+s tend to know who Zin is(or WAS! Quitter! :P) and I haven't had anyone accuse me of cheating recently, but I have been called zin once lately and the rest who bother to say anything know and state out loud that I'm a multi-boxer :p

I would join you guys in a heartbeat except for the fact that World PvP is not my idea of fun. I love PvP in a controlled, choose when I want it environment, so I've always stuck to PvE servers. I also value PvE progression in the game more than PvP (despite my immense need to PvP anyway), so that clinches it. =/

I'm on Blackhand and dual boxed for a couple of years but no one really even notices that. Hell I dual boxed instances and they just thought we were friends.

Once I did the 5 Shammy I got hit with a wall of what you're describing. My skin is growing thicker but still I generally try to hide when going to town now. I logoff in some building that people don't normally have a reason to go to. I hide 4 in an alleyway and just run in my main to buy/sell, etc. just so I don't have to deal.

And.... if it's /say I don't even pay attention anymore, unless I just want to chuckle. If they /tell then I'll chat with the interested and refer the angry to blizz.

I found that interacting with the other people more helps remove some of the negativity.

I'm ally, went to Gadget to turn in a quest or something, a lvl 70 horde paladin emoted me "cheer", "lol", and then "follow me". Followed him outside the gate, then he told me that he's "ready".

Attacked him as best as I could with my 5x lvl 50s, after a long while, he just let me kill him. He rezzed, laughed some more.

Then another horde (lvl 61 rogue) unstealthed and proceeded to kill off my mages, and we all died. Rezzed them all back up, got back to full health and mana, then he unstealthed again for round 2, then again for round 3.

At this point, we had another 3-4 more people outside checking us out. The hordes were able to see how we did against them (which was sad because I haven't PVPed much 5 boxing, but able to learn ), the allies asked how I did it.

After 15 minutes, we all waved, saluted, bowed to the hordes, got on a glyph and flew off. Continued talking with the allies for another 10 minutes (had to fly all the way to Ashenvale).

All in all, everyone were able to get their fill of fighting 5 toons at once or learn about how it's done.

Ya I do this, i leave my minions in a hut near thrall (got a fruit vendor in it i think) and then run around to do my business. However since ive had to go to org to train every two levels I on average add atleast 1 person to my ignore every trip lol. Most of the time Ill look behind me to find 1-2 70s following me going wtf?

I get a pretty even mix of hate/love/amusement/wtf from people but most everyone is somewhat civilized about it.

And I have a very small fanclub of people who ask me now and then how its going or w/e

Does anyone think that there is a FAR likelier chance of being ragged on when you have 5x toons with near identical names?

I would venture a guess that 5 toons with all seperate names wouldn't get near as much attention in major cities/general travel. I personally, have unique names for each of my toons so I can't say about the other way for sure.
