So much hate for boxers :(

**Ginseng** · 06-24-2011, 08:51 PM

Hello guys, it's my first post here so go easy on me!

I boxed 5 shammy about 2 years ago but only made it to lvl 33 before getting bored (it was the days before heirlooms and guild XP bonus etc.) - anyway, just this week I started playing 2 x shammy again to see how it would be.

As i'm sure many of you will know, upon entering dungeons, you either go un-noticed, get called a hacker, or have someone say 'wow a multiboxer' or some such thing.

Tonight I joined a guild on my realm, the GM of which I had played with before, on my main character. I did not reveal this information, as I felt it was pretty irrelevant.

So I joined on both of my toons just some moments ago, and was kicked probably after 15 mins.

I explained what I was doing, and what software I was using (keyclone) - The GM of guild seemed impressed, however another 'officer' seemed to take offence for no reason.

Here is how the conversation went down:

[01:06:51] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: I was looking on the forums and a team of 5 arcane mages have cleared quite a few Cata HC's
[01:07:02] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: All played by one person
[01:07:07] [G] [85:Sair]: lol nice
[01:08:47] [G] [85:Caged]: Yeah or pathetic
[01:09:02] [G] [85:Caged]: Sorry, but playing with yourself is stupid - Its an MMO, not a singleplayer game
[01:09:54] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: So overcoming an encounter alone using various software isnt fun ?
[01:10:28] [G] [85:Caged]: As i said, its an MMO
[01:12:40] [G] [85:Caged]: And overcoming something with outside software isnt fun - If you on the other hand could do it without it, then you might have some skill, but anything else is stupid and im wholly against it
[01:13:26] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: You think keybind number 1 on one toon is the same macro as keybind number 1 on another toon ?
[01:13:56] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: Do you use DBM or Bigwigs? That's also 'outside software'
[01:14:12] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: So if you can play without the assistance of those, then you have some skill
[01:14:15] [G] [85:Caged]: It doesnt play my char with a stroke of a button
[01:14:40] [G] [50: Dardelpol]: No, you play your char with the stroke of button
[01:14:57] [G] [85:Caged]: Sorry, i think you are a pathetic retard, deal with it
[01:15:43] [G] [85:Sair]: i dont this is gonna work sorry

>Kicked on both toons.

----------------------------------------

Whilst I don't really follow the reasoning behind the 'no-skill' allegations, I would be lying if I said this conversation didn't bother me.

I am hoping it was an isolated incident with a chap who views boxing as 'cheating'. Specifically, if you can clear a Cata HC (or any instance) entirely on your own, I don't really see how this has any impact on other players. Admittedly I am only playing on 2, but my DPS is on par with other party members.

And the game is actually an MMORPG which means 'Role playing game' but I don't see many people role playing.

End of rant, and sorry to burden you all with my rage.

Has anyone else ever been faced with such hostility?

Welcome. If you're going to be a multiboxer you need to learn to sail through the ocean of douchebags and
uneducated players.

Code:

                   _____|\                    
              _.--| LOL |:

                     ;..__..'    _...         
                  ,'/  ;|/..--''    \        
                 ,'_/.-/':            :       
            _..-'''/  /  |  \    \   _|/|

Happy sailing!

I usually don't talk to people. Like if someone asks why 3 DKs...i just ignore. Or if they ask a question, ill just give them a simple yes/no answer. Works for me pretty well. At first it's pretty frustrating but then after a while you learn to laugh at it. It gets really funny when they're cursing you out, calling you names, etc.

- Are you controlling all 3???
- yes
-Why???
-it's fun
-they banter about bullshit
- i don't respond the rest of the run

I've had someone in my guild ask me like 4 times now, but I haven't answered his question yet. I've had plenty of haters in 5 mans, something you just kind of have to get used to. In Battlegrounds it will be even worse, because this is where people are even more immature, because you can't kick them.

**Akoko** · 06-24-2011, 09:19 PM

The only whispers I ever get always say the exact same thing: "Why?"

So I have a macro that responds "For fun, challenge, and hilarity", and it seems to have satisfied every inquiring mind so far.

**Ellay** · 06-24-2011, 10:05 PM

After a while this type situation will become less of an issue, I just ignored the haterade myself

You got it better now then I did in 2003:
