Taking the heat

[zenga]

How many people have quit playing WoW because they ran into a multi-boxer?

How many multi-boxers with their multiple accounts would quit playing WoW if they couldn't box in battlegrounds?

People threaten to ragequit all the time because they got beaten in a bg or a duel or whatever, but they never do.

People *do* quit, however, when they are literally unable to play the game the way they want. Boxers who like to run battlegrounds being unable to run battlegrounds anymore would most assuredly quit..

Quite a good chunk of my friend list has quit wow lately (not for good, most are on a break). One of the recurring reasons are the state of rogues in pvp, having complete god mode, both in random bg's and arena. Quite a couple classes basically don't stand a chance versus the average rogue, no matter how good you are. And there are multiple in every random bg, and in a lot of arena teams. The same is true for the human racial, it's OP as fuck since it allows one to equip incredible pve trinkets. Both have become a real problem, due to the representation of both rogues & humans.

I have stopped queuing solo for AV, because of the vast amount of premades who game the queue limitations. Despite it being a BG I really enjoy. And I know many more do so.

Multiboxers represent only a very minor % of the playing population that its now just a 1 time annoyance to deal with.

The point I'm making: if a vast amount of the player base was to start multiboxing in pvp, and you'd meet one in every BG you join, people would definitely stop playing because of multiboxers. They / we can deal with an annoyance that doesn't happen too often, but not with something that becomes a frequent frustration/annoyance.

I, at every point when I unsub an account (temp or perma retirement) ALWAYS list rogues being OP in pvp as the reason why I am quitting... ALWAYS.

As for the AV, I do it constantly and run into a premade once every 20-30 games or so, I don't stop playing AV entirely though, instead, I see how well I can do against them or ruin their experience. (For example, they like to farm ally at GYs and at the IWB hill. and I managed to convince all but 4 people to stay dead or hide in vann's room. The other 4 were rogues/druid who constantly attacked towers. Horde only got 100 hks and we walked away with 2 towers burned and galv dead which isnt bad against a rathstrat premade)
