    I am playing solo now, but when you get used to spamming IWT it is very hard. The game has turned into a horde dominant game w/ no teamwork (LFR). They are slowly working themselves into a F2P browser game like farmville. I am affraid the game we all loved died at the end of Wrath.

    Grinding isnt as cool as it used to be. To many new things always coming out all the time. No point in farming out x gear when 2 months from now a whole new Ilvl comes out. I remember be one of the 12 hunters in Ony praying every week for damn set pieces. Or running the paladin mount quest with a aussie and a russian prot war and hpally.

    It is still fun to box instances, but the content is old. All in what you want i suppose. Gabe runs the old raids all the time.
    I really felt like jumping into WoW on Sunday to play pokemon for a couple of hours, however as I am unsubbed/unpaid atm I sighed and logged into Steam instead.

    They really really need to change their subscription model into something that appeals to those with gaming adhd like myself, who wants to be tied to 1 game these days when there is so much amazing stuff out there to play?

    Surely I'm not the only one who wants this.

    Hi all... Ualaa, Khat, Lax, Fenril. I really liked your video response on youtube Fen. I love your mic.



    Good day. I had heard about this, and decided this was likely the moment to resub and dig into ISB to figure the work around. I checked real quick to see if Mosg or Mercbeast had posted a write up, and didn't immediately see one. I havent played WoW or any MMO game in quite a long time.

    ISBoxer only...
    Needless to say, the IWT solution seems the correct path for now. Regardless, keymaps and mapped keys can be made to include a PVP set of keymaps to initiate on BG acceptance. Using a specific Keymap set, alter every mapped key to include a command for every up stroke of a key to initiate a Control IWT from a preset Control group.

    Tada. No extra key presses.

    Now, this isnt without problems of its own. Any timed cast spell / ability would appear to be useless, unless mapped to a macro or some other outside variable for the keystroke. IWT can be also linked to a window swap.

    Anyway, I'll keep working on it. In the mean time, I presume, I'll be doing my RaF subs in dungeons.

    I always felt that the argument, that multiboxing shouldn't be allowed because it's not fun to get ganked by someone with 5 characters, is a stupid argument. One of the reasons I started boxing, is because nobody I know IRL plays wow, so when I kept getting ganked by a bunch of people, the only way I could defend myself was to multibox. Yeah, it sucks when you get overpowered, but with such a massive game, it's gonna happen whether your like it or not. Even the 40 boxers get wiped, even 100 man raids get wiped. That's the game.

    I sorta miss wow, because of all the time I spent working on my characters, learning how to do things that were simple for solo players, but are challenging for boxing, etc etc. I may consider returning, but only if the BG /follow change is reversed. Until then, I'm out.

    The argument resolves most often around multiboxing random battlegrounds, not about world pvp or rated pvp. So the argument that you have no irl friends playing is irrelevant (as if everyone who does random bgs plays with rl friends ...).
    Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!
