Multiboxing in BGs, How much flack?

[Canasou]

I get so much crap from ill informed players just out questing and can only imagine what it would be like in a BG. I’m really looking forward to hitting AV when my boys are big enough and I guess I’m just trying to get mentally prepared for the abuse…

Directed to our experienced dual-boxing brothers and sisters, how much flack to you get when playing in the BGs?

Depends on the BG and how many you box; 2-3boxers seem to get little attention(few people gave 2 shits about me in AV except for enemy mages who spam AE as if that's gonna kill me faster than a pom pyro/fireblast would); 4-5 boxers show up on their radars better and are more noticeable than a couple of boomkins near each other are ;p There's a few screenshots in the "I love..." thread + screenshots forum threads(like "I HERD U GUYS R BOTS" thread) that show some AV reactions to "us"; personally? I've had noone make any comments, but I'm also a tri-boxer and avoid WSG like the plague even when alone and rarely bother with AB because the alliance is so shit-poor-terribad at it, plus the limited slots...AV's fun though

If you're a 5 boxer, and you're tearing shit up in AV... I don't think your teammates will have much of a problem with it. I've only gone out to 3-4 AV's, but most people think it rocks.

The biggest QQing you'll hear is from the opposite faction. You have a better chance of a forum post, or having them create a lvl 1 alt on your server just to harass you.

Good thing the opposing faction can't talk to you in game :)

[Eteocles]

Eteocles yells: [Common] Y o u Lo ve Me LO Lo
Eteocles blushes.
Eteocles grins wickedly.
Xzin yells: [Orcish] L O L NO
Xzin spits on Eteocles.
Yzin makes a rude gesture at Eteocles.
Eteocles yells: [Common] Me Bur y Y o u BUR
Eteocles cackles maniacally at the situation.

We can indeed talk to each other ingame to some extent ;)

Depends on what BG you are doing. AV, no one really notices that much. AB/EotS, people will point fingers if you lose. WSG, you're taking up half the team, but I was amazed at how few comments I got when I was farming tokens there.

[Canasou]

As of now, AV is the only one I have any desire for. I think WSG & AB would be just a nightmare based on my shammy/3 hunter setup.

There's definitely a herd mentality. I either get

a.) Lots of "wow", "awesome", "great", etc...
b.) One person starting off with negativity followed by several other people who follow me around and dogpile on the "reported", "hacker", "lamer" stuff.

It's about 95% a.) and only 5% b.), though!

There are sour apples, for sure. Suvega and I got chain-reported AFK and the GMs could do nothing about it but to tell us that we should get into combat. We had the GMs investigate them for verbal harassment, at least.

Build up your rep on your battleground and people will start defending you.
