Blizzard tolerates us for now...

[wonz]

The thread didnt get locked, it just got its maximum of posts.

Edit: Sorry, it got locked. But another thread got opened.

Fact is: Many people feel pissed by Multiboxers, and we are subject to rage.

Question is: Are there many people being enraged? If yes, is blizzard listening to those nerds?

I would wait on buying n Cataclysm licenses for at least a month. Lets see who they want to favor. Nerds or Multiboxers.

Would like to say thanks to all the boxers that made us look bad in that thread...

Why does one side always feel the need to call the other a nerd or geek? its like Screech making fun of Urkel.

We are all playing a game with cartoonish characters. Someone will always feel what we do is a waste of time, regardless of if its with 1 character, or 45.

And someone will always comment that boxing is a waste of cash. I wouldn't argue that its not, based on having car payments and other debt thought

Agreed, especially the Shaman that made 5 posts one after the other saying "Multiplying" or something, no wonder people hate us!

That's why I just stayed out of it- hell I didn't even go read the thread because I already know it's just like the many many many others over the years... This thread is NOTHING new guys... That whole middle of the road stance Blizzard takes is the position they've had ALL along concerning multiboxers. As long as multiboxers aren't causing a mass disruption of gameplay then they don't care.

All you're doing by going on that other thread is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Drawing attention, causing outrage, and feeding the trolls. Some things are just best left alone.

Blizzard doesn't care if you multibox- we are 5X the cash in their pockets. What kind of logic is it if they lose 1 person who hates multiboxing- or they lose 5+ accounts losing a multiboxer.

Anyway this is an age old arguement and I can guarantee we aren't even a blip on Blizzards radar right now. Just because some blue makes an off the cuff comment doesn't really mean squat. I've had long conversations about multiboxing in the customer service forums many times. For every negative blue post I could probably find a positive one. This really is no big deal nor a reason to change your plans for Cat.

I wonder how many of these whining little bitches that lose 1 vs 5 against a multiboxer, have taken every oppurtunity available to gank sonmeone lower level than them or w/ mobs on them.....As a whole the WoW population is filled w/ douchebags and hypocrits.

QFT.

The XP in BGs change and the effect it had on "twinks" is proof of this. (it effectively killed off twinks)

The amount of money they make from real multiboxers may be negligible but the amount they make from people with more than 1 account is very substantial. It would not be easy to disallow boxing and still allow multiple accounts. That is the reason we are "tolerated" in carebear MMO's where the majority of the population would enjoy having us tossed out.

The GM response from EvE was far more tactful when they explained how multiboxing was explicitly allowed.

They still can make multiboxing impossible, but still allow people to have more than one account.

Think about removing /follow. Think about changing macro core mechanics (as like comma seperated castsequences), think about removing interact with target and others.

That wont hurt people with two accounts, but would infact make multiboxing using 3rd party software and macros impossible.

And no, we are not very many, there would be no real loss for blizzard if they would technically disable multiboxing. Blizzard does no big money from multiboxers.

I guess its a simple calculation. Once a considerable amount of people quits because blizzard does tolerate multiboxing, they will change their mind.

Think about what happened to the "twink"-community. That could happen to muliboxers as well.

I've yet to see someone say they are quitting because they met a boxer and got raped.
