So much hate for boxers :(

[zenga]

I have my own ideas on things. I probably box to get away from idiots and/or people that don't actually do objectives in PVP. That is my goal in PVP, objectives. I love AV and WG (before matched sides kept me out). I liked being able to help do stuff while other people just wandered around. I knew how to us my locks to get people summoned for capital raids. I knew how to turn my team backwards facing the door to stop people rushing in while the rest of the raid fought the capital leaders. I didn't do as much DPS as the other people, but making sure we didn't get AOE feared or have healers CCd to me helped.

I completely agree. However - with the risk of getting flamed - a huge part boxers I've encountered in bg's are plain bad and have no clue about those things. That might be just me, but I run tons of random battlegrounds solo, and besides the odd boxer who knows what he is doing, they are mostly handicapping the team. Boxers like that, who leave a flag to pick up 2 of there toons that died at a GY far away, who run around in crap/wrong gear, who refuse to follow any bg objectives, and who tend to just plain suck at playing their class, well those boxers cause a lot of bad reputation and are pissing people off.

The most annoying thing I've run across as a boxer doing battlegrounds is the people that follow you around irregardless of what's happening in the battle. That loses a lot of games. Even when trying to explain before the battle begins that you are 1/2 or 1/3 of the team and not to tag along, doesn't seem to get through to a lot of people.

I think I've only ever randomly encountered another multi-boxer once before, and it was in AV so it was really hard to judge what they were doing. I normally just play with the people from my realm, they're a great bunch.

There was one time back in Wrath that was great, trying to control AB matches to help a rogue named Rizer get "We had it all along *cough*", the achievement where you win by only 10 points. The first match went so well we even doubled down on the achievements attempts the second time and we went for both the above and "Resilient Victory". We got the latter, but the 10 point achievement eluded us by 10 points because the single PuG warlock fear-bombed the opposing team as we were letting them take a flag at the end. Oh well, still a good time, some pictures below of the shenanigans.

Ouch, that first picture. Not a single death on our side of the board. It's got to be tough joining a battleground and not being able to kill a single person on the opposing team.

I'm not sure you can really peg somebody for not having the greatest gear in a battleground though. Everybody has to start somewhere, and if you're aspiring to PvP, battlegrounds is the easy grind to gear the fastest. Wrong gear on the other hand, there's no excuse for that.
