the 1st few days were pretty rough, I felt like my head was going to explode while trying to learn.
This is exactly how I felt starting my current job dealing with credit card chargebacks and the like...my head literally felt like it would explode from all the information I had to learn just to READ the info let alone PROCESS it. Now, it's quite literally 2nd nature and I just skim through and find the relevant info and know exactly where to look and click.

I personally strongly believe in learning and doing things yourself. The only person you can always depend on is yourself. If you can't do that noone else can help you. Not just in multi-boxing but as a life skill in general; learn to fish, don't take a fish. :P That said, most of you HAVE done so; you newer guys are just a testament that it's not that big of a problem to start, especially with how much info is available now compared to when I started when the forums consisted of a dozen simple posts, 99% of which were Keyclone, with a single post for AHK and maybe one other option that wasn't hardware.(And yes, it was in the blinding snow, uphill, both ways, you whippersnappers.) Between Keyclone and the info here it's quite literally easier than ever to box, hence why our numbers are growing so much

I vote our new response to "What do I do first?" be "Grow a thick skin and prepare for flaming."; if you can't deal with what little "flaming" is seen here, then you're in for a world of hurt and banning when the REAL dickheads start in on you for being a, quote, "lifeless loser who wastes his parent's money on a game from their basement cuz he can't kill with a solo char and NEEDS 5 chars to win, who is also cheating, going to sell ALL their hard work on ebay, and is using bots to play them to boot."; tl;dr: You think this is bad? The WoW "Community" will be an absolute nightmare then. :P

However, I will agree the stickies need cleaning up; I've posted no less than THREE FUCKING TIMES how to clean them up and merge similar threads into one to save space and searching but even after the wiki was done not one damn sticky was un-stickied or merged. At this point during my next "boring friday at work" I may just write up a far more comprehensive Getting Started FAQ(Apologies to the above getting started wiki; I haven't read it yet and do not include you in this rant lol) and then send it with demands to fix sticky to our fearless leaders and get this shit cleaned up once and for all
