Multiboxing on Lordaeron | Yes or no?

[Ragelash]

Yes, 7-10 of them. And when you encounter them,just one multiboxer, say, on a battleground...you'd wish you never joined. Whole WoW xp is ruined. What's the point of playing the game? To explore what it has to offer, not exploit its mechanics for personal gains. It's really sad to see someone who is multiboxing. The person either can't do 1vs1 properly, lacks skill, and/or motivation to learn, or has some rage issues that are channeled via 5chars instantly bursting everyone around until all die. It's a masochistic pleasure. I apologize if i offended anyone who multiboxes with speculations regarding his probable or improbable mental issues or lack of skill.
It's just my theory and opinion on the matter.

How is your gaming xp ruined is it because you can't kill them by yourself???and its not an exploit blizzard and molten approve multiboxing,most ppl have fun doing rps twinks and such its just their way of having fun,multiboxing doesn't have anything to do with any mental issues.

Ok, try to do pure multiboxing (not 25 shamans. But mixed classes with tanks, healer, dps) and see that it is far more difficult and it takes more talent than to play one char.
Prior to insult and criticize, try.

There will hardly be any PvP boxer on Lordaeron because no PvP boxer takes the hasle to level multiple characters on a x1 realm.
I dont see how a PvE boxer who solo dungeons and is questing affects the game experience of anybody in a negative way.

This is a quite unfair poll. Ofc there will be more ppl that vote "NO" because only a minority is multiboxing at all and most non boxer dont care if its forbidden or not. In the end the ppl that dont care wont vote at all and the haters will vote "NO".

Ths is like making a poll if Warrior class should be disabled for PvP on MoP until all class bugs are fixed.
Everybody beside the Warriors would vote for disabling them.
Such a poll is just for the haters....

If "No" wins then only rdf is missing for this server to become my dream server

Except maybe the people that actually own/maintain/operate the server? lol don't bite the hand that feeds you.

That'd be ironic since you'd certainly lose to my multiboxing team if you're only rocking 5 Shamans :p

Also this discussion isn't retrospective nor historic. It's a question of right now, on Lordaeron, a hardcore 1x realm, is multiboxing detrimental to other people's experience?

[Spale96]

Don't want to get one-shotted by multibox elemental Shamans.
So , no from me. (:

except for the fact that this "shiity" poll was made by a staff member, who specifically states they are considering not allowing multiboxing on lord.

for any other realm you'd be correct tho.

Multiboxing isn't a problem on Warmane. Multiboxing doesn't look fun and imo defeats the idea of playing a multi player game. However I feel it should be allowed.

[wowjustwow]

Pve(dungeons) yes
pvp(battlegroungs) no

i can see how ppl would be upset to see a multiboxer in the battle ground, however in dungeons, i dont see the issue.

[ebae]

It's legal in retail. I don't see a reason to stop it here.

Lol. Loldaeron has a lot of things that retail did/does not have; so that argument is not valid here.

[Deathsmaster]

Honestly, I cant see why you wouldn't without limitations. I understand it will draw some criticism. I'm not sure if I want to play on it, however if its not allowed. I won't be on it at all. the whole PvP thing I get. I can't speak to that as I'm a PvE Multi-boxer. And honestly I've done 1 BG with a 5 man team, in the 3 years I've been here.

If it was limited to PvE and world PvP I can't see what the problem is, unless you just the PvPers out there just love ganking, that's really the only time I'll fight back, I run by and let others pass by without hitting them, unless your

a.) ganking players for fun.
b.) try and gank me.

Otherwise I'll stick to Ragnaros.

Edit: I voted once.

After 10 years of playing WoW on both retail and various private servers and achieving most of what you can achieve, I decided to start multiboxing a little while ago, and let me tell you, it has been the most fun and challenging experience I've had in WoW. Playing 5v5 arena and winning as one player against 5 others is amazing, and not with the faceroll 5/4 of the same class(shamans) that people usually associate multiboxing with. No, a mixed team and a keyboard filled with keybindings for each separate ability.

Multiboxers get a lot of undeserved flak, I never encountered as many hateful whispers or /spits in my short time multiboxing compared to my 10 years of playing WoW, as others have said in this thread and I'm quite certain it's the case, people hate what they can't do/don't know/can't have. The Fox and the Grapes so to speak.


Some of the obvious options:
1. Limit the amount of characters multiboxers can have(max 5?) - Would prevent utter domination of certain battlegrounds
2. Disable it altogether
3. Disable it in PvP - This has been done before on other servers, multiboxers were not allowed to engage anyone in world PvP or do battlegrounds, they were allowed to fight back if they were being ganked. Was abused to ban innocent multiboxers though.

I personally hope you continue allowing multiboxing.
