I suffer from Altitus - anyone else?

[zarocks]

Alt-itis is what caused me to get into multiboxing in the first place. I found out that I could use my 70 shadowpriest to help my 60 warrior level and quest! After that, 5boxing came... crazy stuff. It does worry me though, because I have lost all interest in end-game raiding (mostly the harsh schedule that it presents). The truly scary part is that I'm now 70 on my shaman team, I have no interest in leveling ANOTHER group of 5, and I wonder if PVP is enough to keep me interested in the game. If not, then I may just drop the game in a month... we shall see.

Leveling is 90% of the fun for me.

Same here, actually. I kept changing chars because I would get pissed at the downtime/deficiencies of a certain class...AND I enjoyed the leveling process a ton. So I would start a new guy. Again. And again. And again. And yes, I DID hit the 50 character limit.

So far, I'm not having any alt-itis when Multiboxing, but I'm sure it will creep up as I move onward, and level-ups will get slower and slower.

I have levelitis. I can't seem to enjoy leveling like i should be. My shaman are the first alt I have leveled past 25. Quest helper has made my leveling a bit easier. I don't enjoy playing alone, but I want the people I play with to have the same goal if working together. To bad i can't talk to my other chars.

Thats nuts, but I suppose really if I didn't get in the habit of deleting old characters I might have as well. Of course, other times i've come back a few months later and though "Hmmm, I'd like to play x class" then realize i had a level 25 of it i didn't like and deleted it.

I forgot to mention I also have Respecitus. I respec my characters WAY too much. One of my mid 60's rogue has been all 3 specs within one month. Already respecd my 4 hunters 3 times.

[Eteocles]

I respec'd my rogue alot post-bc trying to find a worthwhile spec since I lvl'd both of them to 60 as subtlety/daggers, but daggers didn't cut it in outland and they made imp sap a normal part of sap too(I rolled the rogues originally JUST to go into enemy towns and piss people off by imp-sappin them...sooooo funny to see them spaz and go apeshit every time they're sapped, aoeing and running around lol); I went around the other trees tweaking constantly to find what worked, mutilate specs, maces, daggers, fists...eventually settled on combat/swords for lvling, then combat/maces for raiding(and it worked quite well; in blues I outdps'd epic'd people and was just shy of the other epic'd rogues of varying specs despite maces being primarily a pvp spec; Trash stun in kara = valuable ass-saver + lets me solo some of the lone caster adds); I've gone back to Subtlety/daggers since then though once they made Shadowstep work in combat and out of stealth and got some daggers worth shit, quite powerful in an experienced rogue's hands ;p

I respec'd my boomkin a few times once I started raiding and a couple times as we progressed based on my survival(or lack thereof) and raid needs sans imp FF, and my Paladin/Hunter have both been through all 3 trees at one point(Pala started holy, then went ret, then went prot - Hunter started heavy BM, then heavy surv, then heavy marksman once they nerfed hunter agi = ap conversions, and now sitting on 21/40/0 lol)...I guess I have mild, rare respecitis rather than chronic versions

I have been playing WoW since launch (with a few breaks) and never once reached max level This time I swear!

[OzPhoenix]

It doesn't surprise me that a lot of us here are old D2-boxers, I suspect that many people first started "multiboxing" with that game.

I know myself I ended up with 4 CD-keys eventually. Don't ask me why...lol.

I used to, with a mate of mine, trick 8 mules at a time into the higher difficulty levels to collect their Hellforge runes. We'd run 8 groups of 7, each group taking about 20 minutes to reach Hell as Level1 mules. The only hard bit was finding someone to drop Baal on quest for us to move into the next difficulty level.

Altitus? Um... very guilty.

I just got my.... uh... (I'm among friends, right?)... 13th level 70 last week.

And it gets worse - my latest crew is up to 52 and I couldn't bring myself to play any of my 70s last night b/c the level 52 crew was sitting on 150% rested exp. It would just be a huge waste not to use it, right?

Gearing them all up? THAT's a project.

Course, that's nothing compared to leveling them all up from level 70 to level 80 when WotLK comes out! ;(

LOL. Looks like Ughmahedhurtz was posting at the same time I was.

He makes me feel much better about myself. :P
