The best solution atm is to stop giving them the attention they crave. They're easy to avoid, if people stopped feeding them free deaths they would quit PvP. Whisper and forum raging just makes them even more giddy
Stop giving them attention? Stop freeding them free kills?
Kinda hard when they can one shot you mid air before even landing on the ground
Well, it shouldn't be too hard to spot 25 characters, or more, coming your way. Now, if you're dumb enough to think you can go alone against one and have any chance of survival, you're just clueless.Quote:

In retail there's usually allways 5, in some extreme cases, and almost none found on WOTLK with 40man +. Back in 2009 when WOTLK was active on retail almost no one had Several PC's capable of running 40 accounts, Nowadays it's rather easy.
Buying stuff from vendor,in the main section of Wintergrasp with 10+ horde around, Spriest multiboxer comes from nowhere, dissmounts mid air, one shots me and prolly 1 or 2 more then gets killed by others...im not trying to fight alone vs them/him, im not even trying to fight them. Im just there to buy some stuff and leave.Quote:

Well there is one addon that'd help with that, Carbonites punk system alerts you if enemies are nearby with their names.Quote:

He is taking the place of 25 people that want to contribute. If he wants to AFK he is free to do it somewhere where he is not taking someone else's place.Quote:

You're not obligated to participate in it.
It turns a regular zone into a BG.Quote:

been quite a while since i played so not sure on this, but can't you just walk/fly into the zone and join the battle?Quote:

For the OP:
If you see a multiboxer AFKing it and you feel this is unfair, report him the correct way, make a ticket and supply the needed proof. GM's will decide further. There is really no point in making threads with half-valid arguments.
