Is multi-box ganking on a PVP server evil?

[Darthette]

Anyone else have this revelation?

Or is there strong disagreement with my conclusion?


I was actually starting my dream team - Draenei Priest and 4 Gnome Locks - All fem - and made them all on Emerald Dream (RP-PVP).

Then I realized two things -

1 - Alliance is WAY better for the lower levels but loses its edge later. (Who wants to group with humans and NEs)

and

2 - The main thing I imagined when creating them was the 5 dots, 4 dots, a 4 fear rotation, 4 pets going crazy on my opponents. I thought fo them going into a nerdy RPer tirade with their guild - emotes and ALL! Upon further consideration, I now see that as an extremely cruel to do. That woudl be ruining someone else's gaming experience.

I remember being level 30ish and being pwned by a level 70 Warrior with an Arcanite Reaper and saying, "that sucked, but at some point, I may stand a chance." Stunlocked by a well-geared Rogue -- Same thing.


BUT -

5 Toons all dotting you up and focus-firing is too much.

Only multi-boxers - or a 5 man team would stand a chance.

I am now playing Horde on the same PVE server my 70s inhabit. And I feel bad enough when I unleash the hecatomb on an area to get max XP and collect everythign for all 5 of my toons.


Who made the other choice -- PVP all the way?

LOL... umm.. "I now see that as an extremely cruel to do. That would be ruining someone else's gaming experience. "

I dual box and have had many high level toons "Ruin my gaming experience"

Not only 1 higher level toon, but 6 level 70s ran in and killed my two level 16 druids. That is not fair at all!! (unless i get 6 level 70 friends to attack them in return.. hmm... that gives me an idea. Be right back...)

Anyways..

PvP server = the joy of messing up someone else gaming experience, knowing that any given time while playing, you can have your gaming experience messed up as well.

Saying playing 5 characters on a pvp server isn't fair is not using true logic. If playing 5 characters at once gave you an advantage over a group of just 5 people, then you would see 5 boxers pwning the arena, which you don't. People even asked about running a full multi boxed arena team. People posted afterwards, prepare to get a low rating. Yes, 5 boxing vs 1 player or even 7 players that sucks might seem "unfair" but thats life, and there is nothing to stop that person from making their own 5 box setup (there are even forums about it.. aka This one) To say it is unfair.. lol it's just funny, and brought a smile to my face.. Thanks

Definitely a team of 5 guys killing the 5-boxer would be pretty easy, once they figured it out.

Fear-bombs to keep your guys off track and what have you.

You are pretty much limited to focusing on one player at a time, so they could CC a few of your guys and you would be toast.


There is "fairness," and I guess I could wield the power without abusing it.

Basically, wait until some dumbass doesn't notice there are actually 4 locks stacked on top of one another and attacks me .. LOL

But, it jsut doesn't fit my palystyle. I remember running into BRM and MCing peeps into the lava on my priest - was it nice.. no, but it was fun.

I guess I am just past that. The game is unbalanced enough IMO.

I'd think it would be fun just rolling through a contested zone and killing everyone you find (until you hit the odd 70). And then keep doing it until they call in reinforcements ... at which point you move to another zone.

well after STV experience and stuff I have found only one answer on it - care? no.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I will generally not bother people if I'm busy doing other things. And they tend to do likewise. On the other hand, this is kill or be killed on PVP servers. So, no, it is nobody's fault but theirs if you steamroll 'em and they go emo about it.

[keyclone]

i can tell you for a fact that carebears DO cry from beyond the grave.

and oh.. it's such a sweet sound :twisted:

I'll be honest i'm evil as hell.

Example. I was doing the quest in Winterspring in the Yeti cave. There was some alliance in there. I killed them all, none of them were stealth classes. They had no means of escaping me while I was questing in there. They tried thats for sure. As you know with 5 boxing it takes hours to complete a quest.

I guess a few joined up and got there mains down there. End result. There mains had to sprit rez :lol:
