Yet in my first hour of exploring this new idea, I find people who are already ready and willing to define the activity as "THIS" and certainly not "THAT." There are plenty of people who would call the entire multiboxing community a bunch of hacks and cheaters for creating an innovative way of playing, and yet that same community would again turn around and criticize someone else for presenting a related modification that "well, isn't what WE do."

I created this account just to comment on that detestable attitude. I don't really plan on posting here any more, but I do think you critics need to rethink why you're doing what you're doing in the first place. Multiboxing was born out of a positive, creative force, and that's certainly not what you're fostering.
Whoa, simmah down now.

I never stated that I was unimpressed with this set up. I'm a hardware junkie, and I live for seeing pictures of rooms like this.

And if "there are plenty of people who would call the entire multiboxing community a bunch of hacks and cheaters" then they are uneducated. My friend and I get reported daily, to no avail. Blizzard has stated many times via their GMs that this is acceptable. We pad their active account numbers. Blizzard loves us.

Also, I think if you're a member here, that you support multi-boxing and any endeavor that would improve its performance. I certainly do. If someone can come in and tell me how to do it better then I am all for it.

But when you start throwing around "data mining", people immediately think spam and gold farming. That, to me, is not what this community is about. And whether or not money is being made doesn't necessarily mean that it's a respectable way of making money.

The way sputnik has posted doesn't seem shady to me though. And I would like to continue seeing the way his hardware progresses. I am interested in the tech being used, since there may be a way for me to multi-box more efficiently.
