How to involve more people in multiboxing?

[WOWBOX40]

There is so much confussion, errors and misconceptions among players, its insane. 9/10 times i see someone complain and talk while im around, i just have to shake my head and facepalm irl.

Also, most people think we are "botting".

If people see im playing 30 accounts all riding the same mount: they qq and insist that i only needed 1 drop..


Trying to correct these people is mostly a lost battle, atleast in my experience, as they simply dont believe me.

The rare mobs hp scales and a lot of content scales, so its not like everything just falls over just standing still turreting everything.

Also, yes ofc you get more gold as f.ex 5 vs 1.. but then again you still need gold to pay the f.ex 5 subs.. these golds dont appear out of nowhere.. if you were horrible at getting gold as 1, to pay for your sub... prepare for a rude awakening.

If you plan to multibox just to get gold, id say: put that plan on hold and spend time learning how to use the AH / the tsm addon WELL. Then, when you got the gold coming in = feel free to try /play multiboxing for "free".
Unless ofcourse if you have the surplus cash irl, then feel free to go for it.

Also: it is probably time to update what kind of requirements wow needs + what kind of pc specs thats needed for multiple accounts. The needed specs vary wildly, based on a lot of factors, as you know + what kind of fps you want to play at.

And dont get me started on pvp... if i come with 5 characters and a lone guy decide to attack me on his own: guess what: ofc 9/10 times i will defeat the guy. Then the guy qq'es and feel its unfair and that im cheating. He doesnt see me as 5 players, but as 1.

I also feel its very important to inform players that, while "stand still farming" can be profitable (but not condoned on these forums) that Blizzard have cracked down on this and if you lapse your attention on the games, you WILL get banned pretty quickly, due to missing the various obvious and subtle "are you a bot tests", that will be done either automatically and/or by a real GM. It doesnt matter if you just sat there mashing those buttons: if you missed a "test" = in their eyes, your were deemed AFK (but keypresses still continues) = they will have no choice but to assume you are using some sort of bot = you get banned.

What really made me start to multibox, was that i had limited time playing and a lot of content was quite hard on my own. A lot i couldnt solo, it was impossible and needed more people. So having your own party was awesome and i could overcome content and do stuff whenever i wanted. If i wanted to take a break midle of dungeon, i could.. noone could complain..as it was only me myself & i.

And having more characters certainly speeds up the lvling progress: as regular mobs dont scale that high and are "swiftly killed", which allows for less chance of getting into trouble and can do bigger pulls. Having 1 of the characters as a pocket healer feels very nice. Ofc, the cursed certain collection quests and phased parts can be annoying, but its not too bad. Also, world quest goes a lot faster when multiboxing.

There should be made a list of the most common misconceptions, like:

Multiboxers gets 1 mountdrop = all their accounts gets it, as its account shared! ---> the truth is that you can have max 8 wow accounts within 1 battlenet account. These will share mounts (currently not all mounts, like gladiator mounts, but those will become available in shadowlands, supposedly).

Etc

Honestly i dont know how to best PR the multiboxing playstyle. Those i have met, did it because it looked fun and challenging and because they thought the gold would just flow in by itself, so they didnt have to pay any irl cash for the subs. Lets just say the wast majority of those players stopped playing after a while. And you have to have a tough skin: the majority of players will curse, rapport you on sight ("just because / just incase"), call you names, mock you for not beeing able to solo things the proper way, pay to win, no-lifer, looser, massive envy, and the list goes on. Haters gonna hate. What they deem cheating, isnt deemed by blizzard as cheating, obviously, and a lot of players doesnt agree on what blizzard allows. Its very hard to convince them otherwise. But ohwell: blizzards game... their rules.

Ive pretty much given up talking to strangers ages ago. If they are friendly, i will give it a shot, but any sign of unfriendlyness or trolling, i will ignore them. Im not forced to talk to anyone, if i dont want to. I just link the: https://isboxer.com/multiboxing/is-isboxer-allowed and carry on with whatever i was doing.
