Being called "cheater" constantly

[Sovereign]

I was told today that anything more than 2 boxing is impossible and that at level 10 I would give up and realize I wasted my money on accounts and hardware because it's impossible to control 5 characters at once.

I actually had a 15 minute conversation with this guy even. He just sounded so ignorant so I didn't mind at all, and I just kept answering his questions, directed him here.

I've had a lot of positive responses so far, though. Seems like a lot of people know and understand what we do. There's still a few who don't get it, most of them give one-liners like: wtf is this?

But mostly I just get followed around, especially when I switch formations so you can see all the characters at once, or in a line or whatever.

I'm boxing on one of the big servers, zul'jin. It's a mixed bagged, some people call me all sorts of names and say they are reporting me. It's been over a week since I started boxing, no gms contacted me yet.

Most people are very nice, they just are interested and I try to explain best I can. I usually just send them here for info.

Some people can't get over the money factor. Why is it anyone business how I spend my money anyways?

I definitely finding it hard to get use to the extra attention. Kinda like being a celebrity, people stop me so they can take screen shots. haha

Simply because some people doesn't know where their curiousity crosses the line

I'm also being reported for spam apparently. Is having my 5 shamans all dance at the same time really spam? I won't bother dancing in org now, when people ask I just say sorry don't wanna get banned for spamming. lol

Dancing is not spam. You will not get in trouble for it.

/train does not send emotes though.

none of these people would know an actual bot when they saw one.

Often they get upset that someone is running a low level toon through and instance. They give the same grief, WTF are you doing? And it eventually ends up with some racial epitaph about being Chinese and gold farming.

I just report them, mention how I do not wish my children to be bothered by racial epitaphs, and move on.

I wonder if this is the same on EU servers, it truly wouldn't surprise me if it was a US thing.

@Wrathbringer (EU) yes, it is - sometimes....

I've been multiboxing since Diablo 2. (Well, wouldn't really call it true multiboxing. But I did run 3 computers/accounts at once.)

And I still get a smile on my face when I run past someone and they stop, turn around, and start running after me.

I've noticed that people fall into several categories.

You have the "OMG HAXOR REPORTED" types that I immediately put on ignore. Don't even bother talking to these people, it leads nowhere.

You have the "What a waste of money, lamer" types. These types usually just say something about money spent and leave. I don't bother explaining to these guys that not everyone has a five-buck-an-hour job.

You have the "Hey that's cool." types. The majority of people fall here. They might say something, or they might just turn, look, and then continue on their way. It's the same reaction most people take to seeing something different.

And then you have the fanbois. These guys send endless questions, ask you to help them, and want you to perform tricks. If I'm in a good mood, I'll humor them for a minute or two. I'm so glad I found this site, because I now point them all here and tell them all their questions will be answered.
