Stop hating the singleboxers please

[RobinGBrown]

I've noticed there is an awful lot of hate for people who complain about multiboxing on the WoW forums, and a lot of badmouthing on these forums too.

As multiboxers have a distinct advantage over singleboxers in many situations, it would show better decorum to be polite and understanding of other's grievances rather than treating them like diseased retards:

'This guy is completely retarded. Do yourself a favor and don't try to rationalize with the guy, he'll only frustrate you more and more until you realize he isn't after the truth, he's just QQ'ing out of jealousy or wtf/e his emo problem is.'

'Wow! It's been a while since I've seen such a jumped-up, self-important windbag have that sort of impotent, foot-stamping rant on the forums. Very entertaining.'

'Precisely, this is just another awesome way for us to piss on the parade of the haters.'

While impassioned the above comments are not going to win people over to tolerating multiboxing, regardless of Blizzard's position.

Multiboxers are a minority, and although we need to stick up for ourselves, to do so in a rude manner invites even more hatred. Many people cannot distinguish between multiboxers and botters and educating them in a sensitive manner should be something all multiboxers have in mind.

If we want to show that multiboxing is a fair and valid choice for playing World of Warcraft then we need to do so in a polite and friendly manner, and by showing a good example of sportsmanship and an appreciation of fair play at all times.

Well I must say on the moral High ground you're right.

But the cheap shots we take in trade channel, on the forums, and the constant level 1 whispers burn at our tolerance.

Just last night there were a minority of people saying how playing 4 toons on one account wasn't fair in my realms trade channel. Apparently I smacked them down in the arena and they were upset. I kindly explained that what I was doing. I could've stopped there but I couldn't resist...

"/2 This Channel is for trade only plz take your opinions elsewhere, because I WTS 5v5 losses."

I though it was cute, and apparently the rest of the Horde agreed. People where /cheer'ing me everywhere I went. Not that I think Im great or that I was right but I do think I've earned a good reputation from treating people kindly and responding to they're tiring "WTF?!? HOW???" whispers. And every once in a while I think the MINORITY of bumholes deserves a smackdown in the arena and in trade channel.

I dont HATE singleboxers, I HATE ignorance.

Multiboxing has been explained and verified so many times that anyone who knows what the term means (as most of the whiners do) has no excuse to keep complaining. The incessant whiners are a very small percentage who, at this point, are doing nothing but trolling on the forums and deserve all the shit we can pile on.

Edit: If someone clearly doesn't know what they just saw, then sure, give them the nice explanation first. But as soon as I see the term multiboxing, I assume they know about it, and it's on.

LOL okay I'm sorry but when I get some jackass out of the clear blue that has never once ever come into contact with me and I have never once harmed whispers me (preemptively putting me on ignore) with this message, "Wow you fucking loser you need to get a life and go get fucking laid. You are so fucking pathetic it makes me sick. You must think you are the shit but you are just full of fail. Go get laid LOSER!!!"

-Then less than one minute later-

"What did you not hear me the first time? YOU'RE A FAILURE!!! It really takes alot of skill to have more time then everyone else right? You think you're special? Cuz you're not, you're just a stupid loser who will never get laid. Go get laid you loser!"

And that is almost completely verbatim of what someone msg'ed me not too long ago. So no, to these people I will not be nice or tolerant or try to help them understand anything in anyway. They do not deserve my time, or the courtesy of a civil and rational tongue.

I also just want to say it's not about us hating on single boxers, that would just be rediculous and hypocritical as we were all single boxers at one time or another. It's about us being tired of pompus jackasses that come to the forums all butthurt about whatever, and flaming all of us for ridiculous reasons.

Actually the best thing to do whenever a multiboxing flame appears on the boards is to reply once with a pre-made post template that links to the US forums and the official blue posts on multiboxing and then no multiboxer should reply again. People will always think and read what they want. Even if the get to read in blue that boxing is allowed, they still will continue claiming that it would be cheating, etc.

At which point they are simply trolling and deserve to be flamed.

I just completely ignore them anymore. Pretty much since that person messaged me with what I said in my above post. I was going to jump on another toon and tell him off but then it finally occurred to me that it wouldn't matter what I said, you're just not going to get through to some people and tbh I didn't buy this game to give people lessons in socializing. I bought this game to have fun and I'm not going to let people like this ruin my gametime.
