Sigh...why did I bother?

There are alot of sad people in this world.

You gotta love people that are bitter about how we choose to play. And as far as the one comment saying legit is playing the game as it was designed to be played... idiot. The game was designed with grouping in mind, it just bothers people that we in fact don't have to deal with the LFG BS anymore.

Here's the question I'd pose to some of those people.

Q: Given the following two players, who has spent the most calendar time playing WoW? Player A has one account with a combined total across all characters of 280 days /played. Player B has 5 accounts with a combined total /played time across all characters of 900 days.

I love how the two people that offered helpful replies completely missed the point. That's awesome.

On a side note, "livefastdiarrhea" sounds like a player I used to raid with. If he is who I think he is, his opinion is not worth the electricity he used to respond.

[Eteocles]

With a name like livefastdiahrrea he doesn't exactly exude an e-aura of "my opinion is worth diddly" to begin with lol

I feel your pain of this but what I hjave come to as a solution is I leave master loot on my main. when some good (read boss loot)drops I hit 'c' to open every char window and look at said gear slot to see who needs it the most. then give it to them and equip it, works well and really doesnt take much time at all. the two helpful people in the thread were indeed helpful and didnt miss the point, they were showing why there is no such need for this addon outside of the multiboxing community, or for that matter in it. Outside of multiboxing it would be open to abuse and not needed given current methods of handling loot. And inside multiboxing its not needed because we can see all our gear at once if need be. After all you have to manualy equip a new piece of gear once an alt gets it anyways.

You really feel there is no need for it in our community? I'm shocked. Most people I spoke with said they never distributed sub-green loot because of the hassle. If one pulls aggro, pretty much they're dead if you don't have a tank with aggro-pulling talents such as taunt, consecrate, etc.

I don't have 5 monitors, nor do I have a monitor I can see when I use maximizer, so I have 2 computers, 1 client on one and 4 on the other, overlapped so I can actually read stuff. It would mean I would have to go into each screen, check the gear, try to REMEMBER all 5 options (okay, clone1 had the 32 armor leather belt, clone 2 had the 16 armor leather belt, clone3 had...wait...clone 3 had the 32 armor leather belt, and.....

See what I mean? I just want an easy way to keep tabs on what each of my clones is wearing. You're telling me now that that isn't helpful to multiboxers? Pre-70 and leveling up I'd think it'd be indispensible.

Have you tried the SpyGlass addon they mentioned? The good posters on wowace tend to be quite good at what they do and I'd certainly have a look at that first.

[Squiggoth]

Erm, that was me mentioning Spyglass. =) So yes, I checked it out. It will work for now, I might tweak it for Multiboxing purposes.
