Getting hate, need /comfort

[magwo]

So lately I'm getting a lot of hate on my 4*19 hunter twinks.
Examples:

• "that's just pure lonelyness"
• "that's pathetic"
• "lol that guy will never get laid"
• "I hate character copy"

Need hugs. ;(

Just know that you're having more fun than they ever will :P

I've found that people have been more friendly/interested with my new mixed group than before when I was running all 1 class.

No clue why.

That being said, you will never get away from stupid people..there are just to darn many of them! :P

And do you really care what they think?

I ignore anyone who tries to troll me in game. Because I tend to fly under the radar (I multibox at off-peak hours, don't PvP with them, run instances almost exclusively) I very rarely get noticed at all. Most people who do notice me either do not say anything, or they say it in the general channels (which I have turned off on all of my accounts), or their replies are benign or friendly. Now and then I get someone who says something like "lol loser" and I don't respond. Either he doesn't understand what he is seeing, or is just being a jerk, or whatever... it doesn't matter to me, I don't multibox to make him happy.

Now if he tries to troll the forums with anti-MB arguments... /cracks knuckles

This is because when people see 5x of 1 class, they think that somehow you hacked or copied your characters. It's just more noticeable.

Twinks draw a far amount of hate too. I think you're over-aggroing.

Feign Death until they go away.

While I have received a few insults the folks on my server seem to be far more accepting of my multi-boxing.

Does it really matter though? The last time someone gave me a hard time I challenged him to delete his Horde characters and re-roll alliance on the same server and I would show him exactly why I multi-box on a pvp server.

To an extent we all desire to feel like we belong to our community (our local server) but in order to do that we would have to conform to that community. We as multi-boxers are blatant non-conformists (and by the same token conformists to our own ideology) so it's natural to get flak when you don't conform to some child's desire that since he can't afford (or otherwise completely incapable) to do what you are doing you shouldn't do it either.

This forum is our community; this is where we encourage and educate each other so try not to care what others think on your server and in time maybe they will come to respect you because you did something very few have.

I am the exact opposite. I actively chat in the general chat with others, I help people when they ask, and because I run 4 I often pick up a pug doing the same quests just to be nice. I very much want the word out there that I do multi box, it is legal, and I'm not looking ruin anyone else’s experience in the game... At least till I hit 70 and then bring down the apocalypse upon any that oppose me. It does help on my server a great deal that Vyndree and Suvega are well established and known, which imo is keeping the flaming on me down. If I was the first multi boxer on a server I could definitely see more ppl asking WTF and harassing more, but most of the comments I get are "That’s awesome, multiboxing ftw". I have even had alliance that I /wave instead of /chain lightning on that hopped on their horde chars and chatted a bit.

Apparently coming down with ADHD and not finishing posts? =x lol I had to say it

But yeah I dothe same thing...I chat it up in general, show off in town, explain to those who'll listen how it's legal and done, direct them here if they get TOO question-y, basically show 'em you're a person behind the chars, not some instance hermit who won't deal with the masses ;p Someone in SW said "Wut the Shokk?!" when I was in town vendoring trash on all 5 chars + trading among them to consolidate all the linen/mining mats I gathered so Urth could smelt them and Flayme could JC them; I ignored him cuz, what can I respond to that with? Couple mins later after Flayme makes a few more rings the same person, still standing there like a retard staring, says "u got 5mins to reply" or something to that effect...but runs off at the same time. I Whisper him and "lol trying to test to see if I'm a bot? cute, but I'm not :P" he says "uh huh", I add "you try vendoring on 5 screens at once...lol) and that's pretty much it lol
