Noob moments while multiboxing

[Harrypott]

Doing the quest chain where you eventually fly to the ally city in boran tundra on a "rocket" or spear. Well atleast my main did... the rest was on follow and jumped of the cliff dying.

I laughed so bad.

LoL did this a few days back with the same result

I forgot one of my toons was logged into its bank character. I was doing an elite quest on 4 other characters while the other sat in Org.

I then spammed the shit out of trade chat with:
"Looking for mining Contracts. Will buy all herbs/ore for xx a stack you can send me. For further details pst or send a in game mail to xx".

About 400000 times and my account got auto banned from talking in any chat channels for 3 days.

I never got any new contracts either hahaha.

Ive done he one where your editing macros (back in TBC days when macros where king) and I had my clones all /say the macro in the middle of the city.

Back when I played 4 Shadowpriests + Pally in TBC I accidental left Inner Focus on standing at the bank. I came back to my keyboard to have a million angry tells because it makes this persistent annoying noise - forever. Needles to say after figuring that out I might have done it 'accidnetly' a few more times for shits and giggles.

When I bought ISBoxer my screenshots started being broken. They were ok on the bottom half but the top half looked like a photo with coffee spilt on it. Nothing fixed it. I reinstalled my video driver, ISBoxer, everything I could think of. When not using ISBoxer it worked. I hopped on the IRC to tell Lax about this 'bug'. He was very nice and patient and said "are you broadcasting all of your keys when you hit PRINT SCREEN . . . ?". DOH! 5 toons at once were trying to save a screenshot to the same file name.

Got any of those pics still? Sounds interesting.

here's an old one of mine:

/following a jump, and watching all the followers fall to their deaths because they jumped too early.

/following a jump, and watching all the followers fall to their deaths because they jumped too early.

i did the opposite >.<

i knew (from previous experience) that the followers would jump early, so i watched them and made them jump at the right moment.
However i had forgotten about the master (on other screen/machine) who was on autorun and she plummeted to her (near) death while i was jumping the others.

The followers landed nicely where i wanted, then promptly did a 180 degrees turn and ran in the gap. 2 died.
My own stupidity makes me laugh sometimes. I guess/hope that'sa good thing >.<

Vyndree posted! wait...what?


My noob moment:
I see a mining vein on my radar. I break follow and swoop down with my main to get the node. I click off the mount debuff, gather the vein, then click keyboard-bind to mount-up. My followers promptly dismount due to the shared macro and plument to their deaths.

Happened to me quite some times:

In Tirisfal glades you have a quest from a mob in UC that requires you to walk to the lake in tirisfal glade, back to UC, back to the lake etc. You get an item to give to the NPC in UC from the npc at the lake. So i run my 4 new warlocks to UC, to find out that the bags were full one 1 and she didn't accept the quest. Ran back again to the lake and back to UC to get it completed. whoho >.<

I was trying to catch up to the raid while doing "for the horde" leaving to take the boat from the back of Stormwind. Everyone else was on the boat, I was behind because one of my 4 shamans got dismounted, so now I was hoofing it ghost wolf style. I got to the boat just as it started to pull away. I made it, watching my followers screens on my 2nd screen make by only inches... not realizing I should have probably let go of W and ran the front shaman right off the other side of the boat. The 3 others soon followed. Then the rest of the raid group (all strangers) had a great chuckle about the "noob boxxor" and how bad i was. I was so happy I was going to make it. Then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

last week, on my way to my regular Zul'Gurub run, I notice as I land in Grom Gol that it is just 10 minutes before 6AM.
I'm bad at pvp (i mean really bad) but thought, oh well, it's early there might be no one there and head to the Gurubashi Arena for a chance at the achievement.
I arrive there with plenty of time, and there's no one there yet, i get behind a wall (near the goblin) and start buffing my toons.
out of nowhere pops a troll rogue, and he says 'lol, this should be interesting'.
i just reply, 'i don't know, i suck at pvp' but he's already gone in stealth. I just had time to see that he had a GS of ~5800.
My toons are all around ~4500 GS.

I gulp with difficulty and wait for the long walk of the goblin to the chest.
I run down towards where the chest will be and my main (the tank with 37khp) gets sapped. I freak out and start spamming my aoe key but nothing happens.
after a few seconds i realize i still have keymaps off, since i responded to the guy.
I quickly reactivate, and drop some totems (including magma).
i get resapped, and then my tank gets dismantled. Why the heck he was attacking my highesst armored toon when the priest has not even half the hp and is in cloth, is a mistery to me, but in any case a tick of magma must have got him and the rogue got popped out of stealth, RIGHT IN FRONT of my 5 toons.

I SPAM everything i got Fire elem, starfall, mirror image and start dps, as he runs AWAY from me, still perfectly in front.
poor chap gets hit by a FS+instant LvBurst, 3 frostbolts and 1 massive arcane blast crit, and a starfire crit in the 3 seconds that follow and dies probably as much to his surprise as to mine.
i really thought he had vanished or something until i saw the body on the ground. It felt really quick.

i finaly remember to grab the content of the chest while i rez the poor sod with my priest.
I had no intention of killing him again, and i thought he's appreciate if i'd save him the run back.

Unfortunately as soon as he accepts the rez the fire elemental decides he still doesn't like him and blasts him dead again, litterally in the second he accepted the rez. Not sure his screen would have loaded yet.

At this point i'm really laughing to myself, but i send him a whisper to apologise, saying that was not my intention and that i'm sorry for his second death.

To that he replies that i'm a bad, that he at least has skill and doesn't need to pay for 5 toons to get a stupid lowlevel trinket.
I tried to reply but was already ignored, so i went to ZG and continued business as usual :-)

Flying around in Icecrowne and I see a sparkly titanium vein. I swoop in and manage to perch myself on the side of the mountain to mine it before the farmers get to it. Victory. Then when I mount up my good cheer is diminished by slaves raining down from the sky. But only slightly.
