I keep track of my multibox win/losses by BG. I rarely get any hate (almost all of it is "Nice! Boyl's crew, this is a sure win!"), but if I do, I only respond with something like...

"My 4-month EOTS win record is 92.4%. If we lose this one, it's not going to be my fault. I'll now be too busy playing this BG to continue to banter with you in /bg."


Most of the time it's not a problem. I easily get 5-10x the "love" comments than "hate" comments. If I do get negative comments, other folks often jump in and smack the person around while I'm busy. This was from last night in AV, about 5 minutes into a tough fight:

Hater_Guy: "well, it's a loss due to the lame ass multiboxer"
Random_Guy_1: "umm, he's rocking on defense and back-capping towers from the alliance, O is the problem"
Hater_Guy: "those shammies are not even near the top of the damage chart"
Random_Guy_2: "sort by HKs, moron, shaman boxers are 101 HKs and 1 death currently, with 3 tower recaps on the main one"
Hater_Guy: "watever, it's cheating and he's hurting us"
Random_Guy_1: "Just stop whining and play."
Random_Guy_3: "Boylston freaking rocks, I love being in BGs with him"


This kind of BG chat is pretty typical, if there's any negativity at all. I just ignore people and go about the business of winning. WSG can be dicier, so I have to take a little more time to chat in /bg to explain how to best work with my team. I still struggle to have more than a 65% win record for that BG though (the rest are all 85%+).
