Multiboxing Mentors

[Nitro]

Wow, this was suppose to be a post about people who like to help out. Not about your poor attitudeds towards others ability to learn to multibox via search. I hope none of you have children, I fear for thier educations.

There's a difference between 'helping out' and 'spoon feeding'.
(and if you were referring to me, I'm actually working on a very detailed I'll-hold-your-hand-till-the-end tutorial for my new website at wow-multiboxing.com)

[edit] And just as in the real world: people are usually inclined to help, hence the forum and the many helpful replies here... but asking for a free private teacher is just not very likely to happen. It's different when it's a friend or family, but you were talking about strangers here..
If I'd be the private teacher for every starting multiboxer on my server(that talked to me), then I'd be teaching about 2 or 3 people already. That would easily mean 50+ hours of assisting and explaining things. To me that's just madness.

[edit2] So what do you think is worse for a child's development:
- spoonfeeding
- 'forcing' to show initiative to accomplish something and discover things by yourself

the path in the middle tbh, but the later pref ofc

and to TS, normally your children dont walk away that easilly, or just dont talk and never come online again

This was probably a tread for those who want to help others. So please keep your complains else where. I mean atleast 90% of this community is helpful and dont really care to learn others how game mechanincs works with multiboxing.
In my eyes your posts is just against helping others. I mean where would you be first time you start up your computer and install wow for first time. You dont think it would be alot better to just ask somone ingame than spending some time to set up
hkey or somthing? And common discover things by yourself. Tell me you never visited wowhead/thottbot, or even asked guild members for help with quests or ppl on msn for help with computer issue etc etc. Wich you CAN also serach on goodle for.
Give it a break man.

tbh, the post was a suggestion and therefore all responses to it are valid

I think the idea has merit... will I participate? unlikely, I get so little time to play as it is I really would resent spending the time on others.

The exception would be someone who asked about multiboxing... came here and learned more... started doing it themselves and encountered problems... provided they can show an attempt to help themselves, I would be happy to assist

Personally I strongly dislike the idea of holding anyones to ge them Multiboxing.

If you lack the knowledge, research.
If you lack the skills, improve.

Personally I dont want to spend X hours telling someone 'exactly what to do' If people are too dumb or not technical enough, thats their problem, not ours, we've made it *rediculously* easy to Multibox. If people are *still* sturggling then I don't see the fault being ours, but instead theirs.

For the record I dont think children should be allowed to Multibox at all. They are the most frustrating.

My post is mostly about "people should first actively try to help themselves". And I mean: REALLY trying and not just giving up after 5 minutes.
I can understand if you think that this is "against helping others", but to me it is not.

I mean where would you be first time you start up your computer and install wow for first time. You dont think it would be alot better to just ask somone ingame than spending some time to set up
hkey or somthing? And common discover things by yourself.

I don't think asking someone would have been better. I feel a lot happier when I accomplish things by myself.

Tell me you never visited wowhead/thottbot,

Visiting thottbot/wowhead means researching yourself. That has nothing to do with mentoring or getting mentored.

or even asked guild members for help with quests or ppl on msn for help with computer issue etc etc. Wich you CAN also serach on goodle for.

Of course I ask help, but there's a big difference to asking minor questions compared to getting spoonfed with all the details.
But usually I don't have to ask help, because I thought myself the things I wanted to know. That hasn't got anything to do with intelligence, but has everything to do with being driven and determined to accomplish something.
It might sound harsh to you, but this is how I accomplish things in life.
I'm a programmer with no college/university degree, but thanks to this attitude (dedication and a lot of hard work) I have a steady job at Sony.

if you stick around long enuff you will realize that "we" pride ourselves on boxing and being able to box without "holding hands"

its ok to ask the occasional questions because "we" know your trying to learn how to box

MOST if not all in this forum have painstakenly taken the steps to play multiple accounts. I would say 90% come in and see how difficult this is and will not have anything to do with boxing. Only because they will not make the effort to stimulate their brains with the concepts involved. Others who wont make the effort think that this is a 'h4XX0r" site and leave because they see how legit dual-boxing is.

So, if you think we have an attitude?....your right, we do. But only the kind of attitude that demands respect from others for being successful at whats been accomplished. You dont see us ridiculing players because they dont "get it".

Meet us on the battlefield ...w00t...w00t...w00t. ooooaaaaaah!!!!

oo btw...i have 24/7 teamspeak server and welcome anyone to ask me questions. I prefer TS instead of stopping in-game to answer them. And yes, I do take the time to help people with their questions. PM me and hopefully I will see your PM and send you my TS information. The Zerg also has a Ventrillo server that I believe the IP address is listed here in the forums. We are not "stuck UP", just busy with the game. So dont be disappointed if boxers dont stop to talk to you. Sometimes we also may be in conversation on voice chat with other players and may not notice your in-game chat. I try to respond to anyone within the game if they are respectful.

Sorry if your original post didnt go the way you wanted it to. But at least you got some of us boxers to respond to it.

Some people on this thread make me sick................. Stop turning this into a "See how big my EPEEN IS!" Contest. :cursing: You really need to stick to multiboxing because your social skills suck!

Nitro, this is a great idea!

Kc took about 45 minutes out of his day a couple of weeks ago, got on my ventrilo server with me, and got me going. There was nothing wrong with what he did! HE DIDN'T HOLD MY HAND! what he did was got me past the confusing set up procedures and into the meat of multiboxing. Because of this, I now have five active accounts and Love Multiboxing, and yes I still could use somebody to help me learn some of the neat tricks. I do know how to look for things, I do know how to read topics and threads too. Sometimes a little one on one with a fellow multiboxer might make the difference between somebody quiting and somebody actually learning the art of boxing.

I am on Thrall, alliance and I also have a crew on Mag. I might just pop over to Arthas and say hi tonight Nitro.

I am still having problems and consider myself a noob with all this, but if you need help to get going, or need help understanding why some macros work and others dont, pop on Thrall, Alliance and send me a tell, McSpuds. Send me a tell here, and I will give you my ventrilo addy and I will try to help as much as I can!

Uhh what? who is this "we" your talking about. I've been here plenty long and am a very successful multiboxer who enjoys teaching others, this post was made in an attempt to find others like myself who enjoy teaching people.

Obviously if this is not your style then this is not a thread for you guys. Way to trash it up wow forums style though.
