Stop hating the singleboxers please

[Korruptor]

just respond in chinese...

that usually really hacks them off

I just completely ignore them anymore. ~

This is my rule as well. If you speak to them it simply draws you into it further but if you don't respond they have no where to go with it and I find it typically dies faster. It also becomes very clear cut if you never respond and the harassment becomes petitionable. They review the logs and see it is all one-way harassment.

On rare occasions I will mock people though, like that punk Paladin that harassed me for around 2 hours in shimmering flats a while back.

While I don't entirely disagree with you that some people here can tend a little towards hypocrisy at times, the thing that I think you need to understand is that they are attacking us first.

Yes, we should still take the higher ground and not stoop to their level, but if you want to take somebody to task, I would suggest the people who are stirring the crap in the first place.

these problems were easily resolved in UO.. prior to the trammel/felluca split.
if someone acted rudely or was an ass in general... you'd just kill them and loot them bare.

oh i miss those days

Street justice works.. there are times when I wish WoW had it.

My boxers are still lower level (30's) so I haven't had much contact to the volume of players out there however... I've only come across 1 QQ'er and he called me out in Gen chat in Ashenvale saying I was a botter. Before I could respond someone I didn't know, didn't met said "He's multiboxing, it's not against EULA and while I would never mutibox, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a preference.". I thought it was really cool that my first encounter with a QQ'er was defended by a stranger.

I took the advice of others on these forums when I created my boxers and I took some time to macro out a few simple formations. I find that when I entertain the people following me, the outcome is one of positive vibes and not negative energy. I will bow, wave, dance cheer, or flirt all at once and they response 99 out of 100 times is "LOL". I've had more than a few people stop, stare and say "I love you guys!" and move on... always cool!

I dunno, maybe I'm just fortunate... or maybe I've got some awakening time ahead of me. Could be that because I'm in <The Zerg> on Magtheridon that people there already know of boxing and have accepted it?

I miss some aspects of UO. Before they made new deeds. I would break into houses with a rune,portal,and some flour bags. Then they added a wall underneath the door.

I do this a lot as well. Looks really cool to spread out in formation and drop 16 totems. Then change to ghost wolf form and dance. People ususally love it. I feel doing that is a good investment of my time in building a sort of relationship with folks on my server. And I usually get one of just about every buff you can get. hehe.. And just this morning while running my new warlock crew around I ran into two people I talked to on a couple of occasions with the shaman/pally group. Always nice and offering to help, etc. One player asked me if I wanted 5 pairs of pants and another came up and gave me cloth because they knew I was getting my tailoring started. I am really starting to like Archimonde! Feeling very comfy and like a home. There are still assholes but they are fewer and fewer. And the warcraft forums. I normally choose to slam an idiot/moron but that is just my personal preference!

I don't think any of us hate singleboxers as a rule.. how would 99% of us be in a guild/have any ingame friends if that were the case.

any ill feeling is mostly reactionary (as pointed out numerously) to an initial attack on us, whether personally of to the community as a whole.

Yes, it would be great if we take the high road every time, not enter in any flame war or whatnot, but you have to be a little realistic. It would either take someone with the patience surpassing that what is humanly possible (or a masochist inch: ) to never get enraged, frustrated, aggravated or at the very least feel resentment towards them, when these people throw this stuff at us.

I have been relatively lucky thus far not to receive many /ws, blatantly harassing me (the ones that I have, have been most unpleasant), but I know for a fact that many here do, receive whispers, regularly at that.

It isn't resentment for singleboxers tbh. It's resentment toward the malevolent and intolerant. Yes we are intolerant too, to an extent in doing so :P but there is a difference.

Intolerance of any acceptable behaviour is a bad thing (acceptable in the eyes of a qualified judge - in this case Blizz)
Intolerance of unacceptable behaviour is a good thing (imo anyway - and it obviously depends on the severity)

or this :P
