That's a support ticket from blahbalah's account, not a forum post.

Eh im still going to queue for BGs, infact i think as a protest we should all queue for BGs and just dance and run around doing nothing, then they'll see just how bad of an experience it can be.

I'm still gonna q up for WSG with 10 - why> because i can stand in flag room and kill few people- if i get killed i res next to GY and guess whats gonna happen? they gonna try to farm me, but really- im gonna kill few until the cap the flag, it happened many times before, thinking they can farm me.down that easy also I'm going to q up for RBG's maybe other team wont q up.

lol, maybe you can sit there and go afk give the team a easy win a good 2min game for you and them and you still get free honor! If blizzard ask's why you tell them what else can I do if I dont have /follow.

Also there were tons of complain against the person who is running a 40 man team and pretty much destroying world pvp and AV. 2 hours long av will piss alot of people especially if they loose. I am pretty sure it was brought to blizzards attention.

Just give back follow in arena ffs.

Both Horde and Alliance were doing premade AVs that long with the intention of farming the opposing team. Rath strat and QQ premades... argument is void sry

I just tested this today and you can still get honor if your team is good. Granted you will be doing nothing but sitting on a flag, it still gets you way more honor than smaller bg's. The other 40 man may be as good too. You can just sit like a noob. If Blizzard wants to make us handicapped noobs in bg's I say do it.

How to move as one again.

Tackling these out of order...

As someone above posted, the first time they ran into a multi-boxer they didn't cry but instead were intriqued about what they were doing and researched what was going on.

Okay? But for every single person that's intrigued by a multiboxer or becomes curious about multiboxing, there are 50 others that think we cheat, bot, hack, or play the way that we do for some sort of unfair advantage.

and isn't the reason why this occurred.

Never once did I ever say it was the reason that this decision was made. I would appreciate it if you didn't put words into my mouth (post).

I would argue that ever point you raised in your post can easily be applied to every other non-multi box player in WoW

Of course it can, but which one of the following statements makes more sense:

1) "I hate single players, they're all cheaters and botters who are afraid to fight 1v1!"
2) "I hate multiboxers, they're all cheaters and botters who are afraid to fight 1v1!"

I'm not going to argue this again and again and again, so let's go back in time and look at a piece of d-b history. Here's some excerpts from a thread from July 2012:

When someone rages on five players, they're raging on five players. When someone rages on someone else who is multiboxing, they're raging about a multiboxer. Also, if those five individual players come from the same guild, then that guild is now labeled, no?

How are these the same?

Let's break this down visually (as best I can with text).

Example 1

Five players from different guilds camp one player:

Warrior (Tom)
Mage (Mike)
Mage (Jerry)
Priest (Mila - My sexy lady)
Druid (George)

Result:
"What a bunch of douche bags! Why don't they go find something else to do with their time?"

Example 2

Five players from the same guild camp one player:

Warrior (Tom)
Mage (Mike)
Mage (Jerry)
Priest (Mila - My sexy lady)
Druid (George)

Result:
"F'ing <insert guild name>! They're all just a bunch of douchebags! Why don't they go find something else to do with their time?"

A guild of 100 people is now labeled by this one person as douchebags because of five individual players' actions.

Example 3

A single multiboxer who is multiboxing five characters camps one player:

Warrior (Tom)
Mage (Tom)
Mage (Tom)
Priest (Tom)
Druid (Tom)

Result:
"F'ing multiboxers! They're all just a bunch of cheating douchebags! Why doesn't this guy go find something else to do with his time?"

All multiboxers are now labeled by this one person as douchebags because of one multiboxer's actions.

Here's another funny post from that same thread:

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.

Ergo, making boxing impossible in battlegrounds would cost Blizzard more money than not making it impossible, and Blizzard likes money, so they won't do it unless they're feeling stupid.

ORLY?
