Whats bothering me more than both answer or ask "dumb question" more than once, is the amount of drama we see on this forums at the moment.

Every day its allways this endless discussion in a new thread all over. One thing is to repeat a question, but isnt repeating this whole discussion much worse?

Sadly, but dual-boxing is beginning to look very much alike the wow community forums. I guess this really cant be avoided when a community gains so many members in a very short amount of time. There is allways someone that is more than happy to start a discussion
QFT..... this ^

What is worse?

The daily newbie thread? Or the Daily Newbie thread that has a bunch of 'veterans in it' pointing out what a waste of time the 'daily newbie' thread is in the first place?
I'm sorry, but to the newcomer this place looks VERY HOSTILE, unless they ask the right questions.

I've even seen threads where someone was asking for advice about: "New to Multiboxing, which classes would you recommend", only to be shot down by a response of
"WE don't discuss that here"

Is THIS the reputation that these boards want?

I've stuck up for you guys.......feeling you were all unfairly prosecuted....but if the behavior on this board and the MB community keeps seperating people into "classes"
IE (I MB'd longer than you OR I have a Higher Post Count, So MY opinion matters MORE) Post counters are lame

Whoa...come back down to planet Earth and help your fellow man, when he asks a question that you deem "stupid"

cepheus nailed it on the head.......it's the DRAMA.............and people who claim "I don't want to be wasting my time telling you something I already know"

Fine....don't. But don't feel the need to jump into a thread for the sole purpose of:

1. Calling someone a newb (When in the SAME amount of keystrokes you could have ACTUALLY helped that person, instead of flaming them.)
2. Pointing them to a 25% working SEARCH engine (When in the SAME amount of keystrokes you could have ACTUALLY helped that person, instead of flaming them.)

How many threads have gone to "? pages" based ONLY on "Veteran Multiboxers" FLAMING or making Smart-Ass comments to the OP?

I'm a musician, I've been playing the guitar for 32 years.........playing guitar is NOT A SECRET THAT I MUST KEEP FOR MYSELF
If someone walks up to me and asks "Man! I've been trying to learn that song for ages, How do you do it?"

I DO NOT say "If you used a search you would've found your answer LOL NUB!"
I DO NOT say "OMFG Can the entire EARTH make sure that no-one asks me this question again!

I have THREE options.....ONE of which, won't make me an ASSHOLE......

1. I can respond......(And be a complete ASSHOLE) "WTF NUB, theres a search engine that will hopefully tell ya everything I don't FEEL like telling ya
2. I can respond......(And be a Complete ASSHOLE) "WTF! NUB, EVERYBODY in the BAR asked me how I played that last song, You should KNOW how to play that song because "I KNOW HOW TO PLAY THAT SONG"
3. I can respond......(And want to pass, what I've learned, on to another person)....by saying "OH WOW, you want to play guitar? Let me show you a few things THAT WILL HELP YOU AND SAVE YOU TIME"....

Which one of those people do YOU want to be?
