Vyndree, Guilds, and Content

[Mak]

Wall of text has been said enough, but more to the point of your comments.

I can't possibly agree with you more. I'm so sick of guilds, and 5 boxing really saved WoW for me. I surely would have quit without it. Anytime a guild tries to tell me how I should spec, how I should gear, what I should do when, I know that it's time for me to move on.

The point about cliques forming is another thing that causes problems for me as well. Unless you form at the start of a guild, it just seems too difficult to become anything more then just another player in it. I can't stand that "big guild" feeling, where you're just one other person swimming in a lake of other players, completely meaningless and just another filler for a group/raid. The only guild I ever enjoyed was my very first guild I was in back on my home server, and it's because we were all the ones that formed it. I guess this goes back to the clique thing, except this time around I was part of it, instead of one of the other members that were just there.

At any rate, I'm done with guilds aside from having one for my own little group. I have very little interest in anything that requires more then 5 man, and that has been the case since long before I started multi-boxing. Multi-boxing just enhances that further.

Wow, I couldn't agree with you more. 5-boxing definitely saved WoW for me because I most definitely wasn't ready to quit. After experiencing some WoW drama that went into RL, I had to get away. I still wanted to experience five man content and when I found this place and found out that people were "soloing" heroics, I was sold. Gearing my toons up myself on my own time without ever having to PUG it with rejects who complain and whine is one of the best things about multiboxing imo. I've never run a 25 man but I've run a 20. I've been to Kara multiple times on my old, now-retired mains. I've seen it. Now I want to do things my way. I can't wait to hit 70 =P

I just like the traditional dungeons & dragons inspired fantasy and Blizzard's playstyle is unmatched from what I've seen. From level 1 to pre-raid geared WoW is just awesome and I love playing it, but then it just dies for 98% of us.

I completely agree with this. I have a 70 hunter in T5 in a bigger raid guild. We are on Hyj/BT and quite honestly, I'm getting bored with it. 4 hours or wipes, bitching, pointing finger, etc. and for what? 6g repair every time I die? I would almost prefer to roll a toon to 70, get some decent gear and then re-roll something else just for the hell of it. I also have a 70 dwarf war in decent 70 blues

Then I found you guys! I have about 4 or 5 different 2 man teams. I'm trying to figure out what works best for the way I play. So far I like my dual hunters or dual mages for pvp, and my mage/shaman for pve. None of them are past 30 so I REALLY can't say yet, but meh.

I wish I could afford the 5 man teams, but 2 accounts is about it for me for now.

Yup, I roll another toon just for the heck of it. I love the old school dungeons and doing them again is always exciting to me for some reason. I love getting loot that didn't drop the other times I went through.

One day, when you can afford it, you'll five box =P I'm still not sure I can really afford it either but I figured, my sister spends probably close to $75 a month on clothes, makeup and other girlie stuff. I'm not such a girlie girl so spending $75 on this is my entertainment. She enjoys that, I enjoy my geekiness.

Answer? Multi-boxing. Bringing the fun back into wow. Limitless amounts of class combinations and tactics. Micro management through the roof, and you can only blame yourself when it all goes pear shaped. Although I wouldn't totally rule out raiding. You can still take a member of two of your team to a raid once in a while. Kara is a perfect multibox friendly instance, just have to find a guild with way too many tanks and healers, hehe.

Yup, having no one to blame you is awesome and another very appealing thing to multiboxing for me. And yeah, I do the same thing. I'm planning on subbing in my friend's priest for my healer when he's on. He's slowed his playtime to a crawl so I'm left to play by myself. At least with 5 acc'ts I can progress on my own and with him when he's around. And our dream of "duoing" 5-mans can officially come true.
