Blue Post against Complainer about Multiboxing

[zenga]

Yeah in nearly each topic on EU forums I try to educate people that the money argument is invalid. Should take away some of the hate in the threads.

I stopped reading after page two. The amount of stupid in there was simply overwhelming.

In the past, whenever someone used the "Blizzard only does it because it's more money" phrase, I would point out that if this were true, then the complainer in question is supporting a company that has no integrity and has sold out the player base for a few extra dollars. Then I'd ask them how they could, in good conscience, continue to support a company that did something so immoral?

I've probably asked that question in three or four of those threads. I never got a reply. Ever. When it comes down to it, they're not going to quit over multiboxing. So why would Blizzard ban multiboxing just to appease them?

And LOL at the idiot who replied "Cloning keystrokes is NOT a form of automation? I must have missed a refresher course somewhere in my last 25 years as IT specialist then." No, dipstick, you missed the refresher course on reading comprehension, because the Blizzard rep clearly stated "(i.e. as long as one keypress only initiates one action per client)." No wonder this argument still goes on; when Blizzard takes the time to clarify their terms, some numbskull with 25 YEARS IN IT manages to not comprehend what he is reading. Blizzard says "here is what we mean by automation" and the moron replies "but that's not the official definition from my IT specialist refresher dictionary!!!"

"Dipstick" is the correct term for this sub-species of homo sapiens. As soon as they trot out whatever experience they have as justification for their position, you know they can't argue the point on its own merits. Argument effectively over at that point.
