Gladiator Ya!!!!

[Aradar]

I would post this on the WoW forums but honestly, 21 pages in, who's going to read it. I think you could give your setup to most of these people that think it is so easy and maybe even explain it to them over a period of time and they still couldn't accomplish what you did. Moreover, these people act like you started at Gladiator with all this great gear, ignoring the fact that you worked your way up with less than optimal gear to start with. These people get so emotional about it and can't seem to put any thought in to it.

I love how all these non boxers talk about how easy mode it is yet you're the only one that has done it. You have several examples in just this thread of people trying to duplicate your work with much less success, if any at all. Again, grats.

Most of the non-boxers are high schoolers who simple parrot what everyone else says, thus the "shaman booted at 1800" mythology. It's like anything else on that forum, 90% of it is garbage. I don't even read the threads anymore, it's the same idiocy over and over and over again.

This is a major milestone in Multiboxing, and Ellay deserves as much applause and kudos as he can get. For all of the crying and whining and sniveling and accusations of cheating and hacking and "it's not FAIR", this is a major slap in the face to MB attackers, as Blizzard legitimized MBing yet again with one of the hardest-to-accomplish rewards in the game. Getting ONE toon to that reward is hard work, doing 4 is a supreme effort! The people who attack it don't know the challenges involved, or do know, but won't admit it because they're jealous, so they blow smoke and mirrors about the money or how easy it is, or how "unfair" it is - yet I'd bet a year's sub fees that if any of them were handed the equipment and money for the subs, they'd be running teams right now.

From now on, anyone who says "I don't care what anyone says, it's CHEATING", all you have to do is point to Ellay and his accomplishment, and say "if it's cheating, then why did Blizzard allow this?" They just went through a week of quietly banning afkers before they released the rewards, and not one MBer got banned. They delayed a week on purpose, I'll bet they reviewed every winner for any possible exploit. I can't think of any other way Blizzard could legitimize MBing better, than perhaps Tigole and Kalgan saying "it's fine" at last week's invitational, and putting it in their manuals and on the website and EULA in big, flashing red letters.

/applause, and my heartiest congrats, Ellay. Thanks for hosting this site, and doing something we call all be proud to be associated with!

Now, I say you get on the tournament server, and make the record books there! Them we can watch you in action at the next invitational!

The multibox haters are gonna love this!

Wow, Gadzooks really said it. I've really missed posting on this site =P

I had to come back of course once I read the nice article on WoWInsider and noticed Wilbur's familiar name. I must say Ellay, what an incredible accomplishment and all the QQer comments make this so much better. Congrats x100! I'm jealous of those awesome Netherdrakes (the armor is so much better!). I'm planning on getting my girlies netherdrakes as soon as I can farm up the cash at 70. You have also inspired me (like so many others) to make a shaman team but my poor team sits at level 1 and who knows if I'll ever get to them.

Again, way to go! And we are all looking forward to more awesomeness in Season 4!

I'm just telling the truth - I think some people hold back, because they're afraid of being attacked - but this is something that deserves a lot of positive attention. I posted pretty much the same thing on the General WoW thread, it's devolved into the usual "it's automation" nonsense, the attention need to be yanked back to the fact that it's a really special accomplishment.

For every bitter scrub who's still butthurt because they can't win-trade anymore, we need a post that celebrates this.

(You do know that's what a lot of this was about. Most of the players who complain are doing so because they can't cheat their way to Glad - people who play honestly and compete for the prize don't complain about MBers. They're just butthurt because they can't get to the 2000+ ratings on skill, because 2000+ even solo is damned hard, without cheating.)

I'll be at the MLG Orlando event in July, I won't be particpating though but I'll be there!
Maybe they'll interview me and you can see me :P

Those are some great threads. Epic justice would be finding out one day that Ellay is actually a Blizzard employee lol.

Gratz again man!

[Ellay]

I should apply

[Talamarr]

If Ellay was a Blizzard employee and it became public knowledge, the accusations of "cheating" would never end.

Ever. All the haters (and some on the fence) would just go full tilt insane QQ.

I know. It would be AWESOME!

(Ok, crazy Tal is getting back to work.)

Amazing job, well deserved titles and mounts. I loved reading through the post you made on the general forums, such a mixed back of responses.
