How many report harassment?

[marvein]

If I get "bot" in a major city, then I reply with, "Right... botting in Ironforge is getting me EPIX !!! :P "

For the other faction that run into me (usually a lvl 70), I do a spread, wave and a dance. Sometimes a follow me, then kill a mob so they can see it. Most of the time they wave or just leave.

I'm slowly building up my standard replies from the ideas here on the forum.

For the "no life", "no friends"... type, I reply "My played is X Days, what's yours?"

For the "bot", I use "Right... botting in Ironforge is getting me EPIX !!! :P " because it's usually when I'm in IF that this happens".

For the "reported", i use "Cool, I always enjoy talking with the GMs. To make it easy, just report my guild name for all of my toons. "

For the "...", I reply with " :P " and a /lick

lol those are almost the exact same replies I use.

For opposing faction they always seem to love the /dance, especially with 5x ghost wolves

for people just saying 'lol', 'wtf' or '...' i respond with

For reported I do that same thing, I just say "Cool its been a few days Ive had a chat with a GM"


As for reporting people, i have yet to have someone physically grief me like that and I have only reported two people so far, not because im easily offended (very much the opposite) but to relate to the wonderful penny-arcade comic shown above. if they are being a complete fucktard and give me something to report (like racist/sexual/fbomb swears at me) then hell yes they are getting reported because they deserve it. And despite the threat of 5x report, I doubt I would ever actually do it unless it was really, really, bad.

I just completely ignore people unless they ask me a question in a cival manner. For the most part my interaction with people has been positive so far.

Fur,

That's the funniest thing I've seen for a while, and oh so true!

For now, I think we're safe. But agreed, nothing is certain and we're certainly not giving Blizzard that much profit with the amount of GM-work required to support reporters and reporteds.

I dunno... I think they've got GMs working around the clock whether there's any reports goin' on or not! We're just makin' the GMs work HARDER for their money... not necessarily costin' Blizzard more!

Also, all Blizzard has to EVER do to end legal multiboxing in the game is loose the "follow" ability. They technically don't EVER need to ban it... or make it against the EULA. Drop the "follow" ability, and we're screwed... w/o illegalizing a bot to fill the gaps (in which case, we're caught and still screwed). *Bows to the "follow" command Gods*

EDIT: Well, technically... if you had all the toons on seperate PCs w/ the same viewable resolutions (or seperate instances), and had cursor navigation enable (same loc across all monitors), you could "technically" use the Click-To-Move feature to move all toons together w/o the follow command. (Got the idea from a friend on my realm today, when I stated that melee classes are hard to "box" do to the restrictions of the "follow" ability... he advised to set the Click-To-Move, and get all the toons close the the mob that way. Seems it COULD work in PvE... however, PvP would seem a nightmare!).

I created a new DND message:
"Hi - yes I know this looks wierd, not botting but multiboxing - if you have any questions go to www.dual-boxing.com - controlling 5 chars AND chat is a PITA so accept my apology for not answering your WTF?"

on another note:

I started a new shammie crew after some discussion with Slats, they are now level 9 - I was killing some guys in Durotar and got some hassle - (rough quote):
Him : Do you mind not botting!!!!!!!!! I'm going to report you!!!!
Me: Really? Go ahead please
Me: Well? Done it yet? I'm waiting.....
Him: So how do you do that?
Me: Have you reported me yet? I'm waiting....
Me:/tap
Him: So how do you do that?
Me: Look if you threaten someone with reporting then go ahead and do it - otherwise shutup.
Him: no I'm not going to report you
Me: Nice
Him: So how do you do that?
Me: it's mutliboxing - go to www.dual-boxing.com for all your answers
Him: it's probably a keylogger site
Me: whatever cya
