General WoW players attitudes to Multiboxing

[twobztwop]

I got a lot of attention from level 1-20, especially in the barrens -- maybe 50/50 positive comments vs. omg Hax, reported, waste of money etc. After that it was pretty quiet, I kept a low profile by doing most of my leveling in instances and didn't spend much time in capital cities.

Hellfire peninsula is like the barrens all over again; but I get mostly positive comments this time around though. So far the only problem is Alliance like to show their disapproval of my boxing by dropping lvl 70's out of the sky and killing off my team. Hellfire was rough at 58 on my PVP server. I had a rogue follow me around 1 shotting a character at a time then vanishing before I knew wtf happened.

I think if your characters are all named something similar or if all of your characters are wearing the exact same gear (which mine weren't until outlands) you draw a bit more attention to yourself. If that matters at all.

1-20 or so I had the same thing, people going wtf etc but post-30 people either knew about multiboxing thanks to Zin/oath/etc(since I am on Mag after all and most of the higher lvls have suffered his wrath lol) or just didn't care; my first day in hellfire yesterday some people kinda looked at me for a sec while I quested but overall they didn't pay me any mind; I ninja buffed most of 'em and they thanked me, and I talked in general with others regarding the towers & the 2 70s I warred with outside HH

Time spent dancing/spamming in IF/Shatt tends to go similarly, I draw a crowd, other druids join in my dancing, I /yell "RAVE BREAK" on all 3 chars and then cast triple hurricanes lol; only had a couple of naysayers who run up, make a smart-ass uninformed(lol loser paying $45 a month/lol u nd a life d00d) remarks) then running away, coming back to spam loser a sec later then run away again, everyone else lol's at them with me. Had a few people say "ABOUT FUCKING TIME WE GOT AN ALLIANCE MULTIBOXER, too damn many horde ones" and I agree ;p lol

I dual and triple-boxed for a couple of years until finally going 5 late in '07. One thing I really like about 5 boxing is no longer having to reject people when they want to party with me. Well, I still reject them, but point out that I already have 5 in the group.

This eliminated the awkwardness of trying to explain what I'm doing and why it isn't a good idea to group. Some understood, but some didn't and basically would start in on the insults, threats, etc. Sometimes I would just say its a guild thing or that I'm grouping with friends only.

Running 5 sure makes it easier, though some people can't count and still ask to group. LOL.

I remember this time when I just didn't want to be bothered by someone asking to group, so I lied and said I was grouping with my kids and that they didn't want to group with others. Well this started about a 10 minute conversation about how great it was that I was spending time with my kids and how the world would be a better place if other people cared as much, blah, blah, blah. Sheesh, I don't even have kids.

I was running around with my lvl 14 crew and a lvl 70 made fun of the follow mode. He put on a follow command on my main and went afk for about 20 minutes. I am still waiting for a "i ' ll report you" - guy though

Had this happen to me early on... funny thing is... even a level 70 is not immune to drowning. Used the Water Breathing buff on all my toons... jumped into the canals of Stormwind and sat there and watched him drown.

Ah... good times... good times.

Hey, I did ask him nicely to not /follow me as I am dragging enough toons as it was.

Char1: "Y"
Char2: "M"
Char3: "C"
Char4: "A"
Char5: /lol
