Fact: you’re really bad at choosing pvp targets. In fact it no doubt was a multiboxer who you decided to attack even though you were greatly outnumbered. A botter probably wouldn’t have had responding to player attacks in their program.
I’ve been leveling 4 alts in a group led by a 120 who hasn’t done that zone. I’m not using key cloning or anything. I’m not even in warmode, just minding my own business until some idiot decides to attack base camp and I flag up and deal with him.
Don’t attack raid groups. You’ll live longer.
I suggest you read up on the latest shadow priest news.
Kinda of does. Just because you, and the other 5, or 6 usual suspects who post in these spam threads are trying to pass your opinions off as fact.
Only defending multiboxing. Because you know, you have to actually be playing the game for it to work. Botting would never defend, because it is hack software that plays the game for you(automation).
Again botting is cheating. It is only your opinion that boxing is.
For one, I’m not a usual that says anything in these threads, for two, it’s my opinion that if you can somehow have 20 accounts linked to 1 keyboard and they all do the exact same thing at the exact same time, then that is cheating.
Well, in many aspects of the game that is expressly true. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ve done the math on my own farming and the gains from having multiple accounts easily exceeds the cost for tokens to keep those extra accounts active. Considering that after initial setup boxxing requires no additional effort I would say that there is a huge swath of players that are just tossing free money right in the bin by not boxxing.
And that isn’t even touching on the wpvp issue.
Boxxing is legal and more people should probably be doing it.
“It’s not cheating” is the general response to anyone who says it is. Me personally, I think under certain circumstances it is cheating, but I have to define my use of that word.
Is it cheating in relation to the already-established rules of WoW? No it isn’t. Blizzard don’t actively support it, but they don’t disallow it either. So, rule-wise, it isn’t cheating.
But is it cheating in the moral/ethical form of the word? Yes, I believe it is. And my reasoning is based on personal early play experience. When I did an early 5 person dungeon and the other 4 players were a multiboxer, who could Need on everything and even kick me if they felt inclined - that is getting an unfair advantage because it takes away the specifically designed system of requiring a number of different people to vote. Or when a 5 person m’boxer can go into a dungeon alone, that is giving that person an unfair advantage. Because my level 25 mage cannot do an instance at level alone and it cannot singly control the party or decide who goes. Whereas that individual with their 5 characters can. They can earn all the experience, the gold and gear for their own characters.
Now I personally don’t demand that m’boxing be removed from the game but I wouldn’t exactly weep about it if they did.
And I thought your last argument was lolworthy. I wasn’t trying to tell you to one up yourself.
My main point was pretending that MBing is fine because 40v1 would always result in you losing absolutely misses the point that if Blizzard didn’t allow it the 40v1 would never have happened to begin with and that is what people don’t like. Nobody is asking for a fair shot at winning 1v40, they’re saying the ability to become a 1 man army is hot garbage. You can disagree with that belief or not, I don’t really care, but you’re missing the point when your retort is along the lines of “lol 40v1 is always a lose”
As far as what an MB brings to the table and if it’s as good or bad as being individual units there’s ultimately a trade-off especially in BGs which is where you’re going to find most of them in a PvP scenario. They trade off the ability to spread out the team, but their ability to brute force wherever they are is up. While they’re certainly not invincible by any stretch of the imagination they can still be tough to bring down sometimes and certainly have a reasonable chance of beating a group of people who try to take them down.
Random antisocial turns on warmode to get the warmode advantages and just flies out into the big bad world alone.
Gets steamrolled and then desperately looks for whatever QQ evidence they can find to summarize why this just happened. Oh, FOTM? Check. Oh, multiboxer? Check. Oh, higher level? Check. Oh, higher ilvl? Check.
It just goes on and on because in so many ways you cannot look into the mirror that reveals your failures.
The problem is you turned on warmode and had no plan once out in the world. Where I sit that’s where you went wrong.
I have friends who box. Not all boxers are evil cheating butt fedoras. And I believe its more accurate to say that so long as automation isn’t used it is considered legal.
The toons stacked on top of each other could be simply solved (and it’d deal with issues of people trying to crowd up on something, usually to hide) would be to implement some kind of ‘boundaries’ system. IE set it up so that Verdre can’t just walk through Paladina, because Paladina takes up physical space in the world.
This would destroy the whole “its just one dwarf!” when its actually 20 dwarves all occupying the same exact spot.
No thanks. I’ve gotten good at drawing a line in the sand when someone says something so stupid it’s not worth attempting to refute said stupidity.
I don’t have a massive beef with MBing, albeit I don’t really condone of its existence either, especially given its use has warped into being an efficient method to farm resources which I actually think is a bigger issue than the PvP shenanigans it creates. The only reason I even bothered taking this up with you is because your arguments were pretty absurd and missed the point of other people’s ire, and now that I’ve wasted some of my time explaining that to you I’ve seen you were worth even less of my time than I initially believed.
why is the world so much different and deadlier with warmode on
