Would you have the same attitude?

Would you (or did you) have the same attitude about multiboxing as some of the idiots you meet if you weren't one?

Fortunately for me I read about it, tried it out, and began embracing multiboxing before encountering a multiboxer in the game. So I never really had the opportunity to WTF a multiboxer before I already knew about it and liked it.

I'm not given (usually) to knee-jerk reactions so I like to think that the first time I would have seen a multiboxer I would have been intrigued rather than jealous.

Edit: oops, meant to post this in General not Beginners.

Not knowing what it was I might assume it was cheating.

Would I harass the person doing it, calling them names, following them around and make a general ass out of myself? No.

I might have reported them.

On a similar vein... with as much as I get called a botter and/or farmer you would think that I would have actually seen one of those in game at some point. But I haven't. Oh I've seen the usual gold spamming bot but I have never seen a bunch of "bots" running around killing mobs. The only ones I have seen sit in IF or SW and spam "buy gold we sell cheap you like".

Has anyone else seen a "real" bot or group of them?

I'll admit...when I actually ran into one ingame at halaa(5 UD spriests named after diseases), I raged a bit...was my first encounter with one and it seemed a bit unfair, bitched a little in general chat with other alliance, then when someone eventually said it was legit and explained it I wasn't so inclined to be angry...plus we eventually managed to conjure up some teamwork, feared 'em, I hurricaned 'em and burnt a couple down while he was regrouping lol

After that even when I ran into and got ganked by a couple sets in Ogrila's bombing quest area I just treated it like a normal gank, seeing if anyone was available to help kill gankers :p Though the first time they came up against us(I think it was Ebola...not sure, whoever it was said later on that their macros weren't setup yet) they lost since we were grouped and had a holy priest dispelling everything his locks threw at us and I hot'd what dmg was done before letting loose hell on 'em with treants and wrath spam lol

i had only seen people doing a drag along heal bot, nothing more... until i put keyclone together.

i got a ton of flak from my victims... which, of course, was my motivator

then i ran into my first multi-boxer...
i was stealthed on 10 mage assassins (glass canons) and he had 10 cent-druids with a mino-barb scouting for him.

they ran right into my position, and before i could kill one druid, my whole group was hit with 10 earthquakes.

**SQUISH**

@ keyclone... "Now the student has become the master." ;D

[keyclone]

i created a mino-doomie group after that.. and everyone b*tched. (stray bullet removed /target about 6 weeks later)

they were pretty much, unkillable

someone even posted a video of them after a bane (we pwned them hard)

Several months ago, a guildie called out in guild chat. "There's some hacker botter dude out here ganking me, can someone come help?" He said that these 4 shadowpriests were all clones and took out some highly geared warrior in a matter of seconds. He also said he had reported him. So me and another guy went out to check it out. They were all named similar, but once we figured out who the main was we were able to kill him and the team. He sprit rezed and that was the end of our fun for that situation.

A long time before that, a warrior had ganked me that had a shamy healing him. I could tell it was being controlled by the same guy, and two of us couldn 't kill them. Those two events planted the seeds of curiosity in my head. I asked the question on the forums, If I had a priest and a druid, and wanted to run them together how could I do it, someone pointed me here, and now I'm (slowly) picking it up.

I never felt or thought anything about it other then , if its possible for them, it might be possible for me, if it is possible for me, I wanted to do it.

I ran past Emote's shaman team in IF a few weeks before I found this site. Thought to myself "Third party, nice. Someone should warn him he might get caught" as I ran by, then after I got on the griffon I furthered the thought "Well, he's 70 wearing pretty sweet gear... and he's hanging out in IF in plain sight. Do you really think he needs to be warned?" Never crossed my mind to report him, why would I want to get him in trouble? I figure until blizzard starts cracking down on the constant procession of level 1 lkdsahfyuoas's running around Orgrimmar/Ironforge spamming for wow-toolbox.com, they have no right to go after John Doe and his third party app. Much less now that I know it's perfectly legit.
