To celebrate /follow returning to WoW PVP Arenas, let's have a contest!

[Shodokan]

I don't think any boxers are truly competitive in the 5v5 ladder, Shodokan. Are others worried that if they play 5v5 then that team can't also be in a competitive 5v5 that uses other players? Otherwise why not give it a shot playing all 5?

The characters i would play would be played with friends in 5's so i'd have to have two teams... one for this and one to play with friends.

I know that not everyone is competitive... but the whole point of this contest is to try and make people competitive, not just to hand out money for people to go about their business as normal IMO. Essentially it makes it a tournament of sorts which is why I kinda feel this way.

I think you're a bit confused here. Trying to get the highest rating on the ladder by facerolling everyone with the easiest (read: "competitive") method possible (which is clearly to multibox less than a full team) is business as normal, and you're quite literally telling me to just hand out money for the top people to go about that business as normal. Someone is already going to go play 3 out of 5 on a 5's team and try to get the best rating they can.

The whole point of the contest isn't to try to make people competitive, it's to show off multiboxing and what multiboxers can do besides stand there and spam DPS and argue on the forums about bots and /follow and whether or not they should have to play their whole team, and whether they're going to quit the game... business as normal. We're not going to convince anyone of your multiboxing prowess by you playing 3 of 5 guys on a 5's team.

I wouldn't make a PVE multiboxing contest where you need someone else on your team, why do you need someone else on your team in a PVP multiboxing contest? This makes no sense for a multiboxing contest and prizes for multiboxing. I am sorry to have offended you though.

Business as usual

Your contest, your rules.

Quad boxing yes or no?

If no, are 5 enhancement shamans allowed?

• etc... do you have a better idea? we can have more than one goal, with different prizes.

To honor the elemental spec - which served us a long time - highest elemental shaman team at the end of the season + movie

Business as usual

No one is convincing anyone of anything if their ratings don't reflect what others outside out immediate community consider skilled. It is a 5 boxing contest, not a multiboxing contest.

Blatant opinion is that the community isn't strong enough member amount wise or PVP interest wise to make a top 10 prize structure. Yes it is important to get as many people active in it as possible but "business as usual" playing 3-4 toons is what has made every single boxer above 2k successful. Not to mention I don't even have 5 accounts >_>

My point is you are throwing money at people and what you may feel is "multiboxing prowess" is something that very few people have shown 4 boxing with "business as usual" and the money isn't going to change the fact that you can only do so well controlling all 5 toons.

I guess personally its just shocking to see someone tell me to participate I have to not do as well as I can, your rules your contest. I'll be sticking to single toons in 3's for now I guess. It's just disappointing to me, but one person doesn't matter in the grand scheme.

Like I said, good luck to everyone else who is going to participate and I hope that someone does decently on the ladder to prove something to the outside world and not just our tiny and ever shrinking community.
