"It's automation!!!"

[Ughmahedhurtz]

lol keyclone. I was thinking something similar. Every time I see these people trying to claim it's automation, I'm reminded of Clarke's laws . Especially the one that says "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

We need that colonel in Full Metal Jacket to be our spokesman: "[H]ow about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?"

Allow me to set your argument to rest. This:

Add in a 3rd party program. You press ONE button and all 5 screens react. How exactly is that fair/legit? It's not. The ability to control 5 computers at once with 1 single keyboard and 1 single press of a button is automation. The ability to make your characters cast their individual spells and skills at once by pressing 1 button is automation.

Is not automation by our standards. This is why multi-boxing is just fine.

The moment that single keypress initiates a string of actions not normally possible via our base macro system for an individual character, then that is a different matter. It is also a separate offense.

Multi-boxing, currently, is not a violation of our policies.

That is all.

Does anyone else find it funny when someone complains about us, then a GM comes and explains in detail how its fine, and they suddenly disappear. Every once in a while it would be nice for an apology, and yes I know Im dreaming.

That or they start with the "I don't care what blizz says, it's cheating and you people are lame." :P

Retort with "I don't care what you say, blizz says harassment is cheating and you are"

What is it with the WOW community and their constant B&Ming? ? ? I have never experienced this
in any other gaming community.

All I ever hear:
Nerf This - class is overpowered
Why did you Nerf this - the calss was fine
Your cheating
I'm not cheating
You suck
I am awesome
etc. . .

It just makes any person with an ounce of intelligence and lack of patience not participate in the discussion at all. :thumbsup:

LOL you just more or less explained why I started Multi-boxing. If I have to put up with one more shitty pug for of elitis wanna-be pricks I'd have to strangle some kittens My goal is to get so good with multiboxing end-game dunegons I don't have to ever do a pug again! Not to say I wouldn't run some with good friends or people that I know and like but screw the mass public of WoW imho.

Honestly, this isn't new to WoW. I've seen it in gaming forums for Team Fortress back in the day, DAoC before this and now in WoW. Just a lot more prevalent in WoW. (or maybe just a lot more visible due to the population size?)

Apparently some of you never played Everquest or don't remember the whinefest. The EQ forums actually got so bad that Sony shut down their official forums due to all of the whining.
