oh you guys will *love* thisFollow

I too have never had any experience with or against a multi-boxer, but I cannot see the problem with them.

If you play in AV for instance you could get a group of 5 players to team up and they would (in all likelihood) very quickly kill any single people they were up against. Yes it may take a few more miliseconds to communicate that fact between themselves, but they too would beat any single opponents. This is certainly not against the rules, and no-one has any problems with it.

Multiboxing is simply an extension of this. In BGS they are taking 5 players spaces. Instead of having 5 separate players there is a multi-boxing team. There is an advantage in the ease of team targeting and no communication downtime. To this there is the disadvantage: they can easily be CC'd, 4 of their team will not react to a threat if it is near them (e.g. the whoosh of a stealthed rogue) and if they get separated or all end up facing different ways (through fear or polymorph for example) they are virtually useless.

The same goes for arena. A multi-box team is taking spaces that could be filled with people. Actual physical thinking, reacting, deciding-things-for-themselves people. The MB may have 2, 3 or 4 followers, but once again they can't react themselves, can't adapt to a situation and can't work to re-group themselves, and so I think that in the arena this will never make them all-conquoring.

I would personally love to take on a MB team. The hard thing (to me at least) is reacting to 2, 3 or 5 different personalities. The MB team may instantly kill one or two members, but by that time my remaining team members would have feared, CC'd and disrupted them, and I don't think a team of zombies would eventually stand a chance.

Ele shaman is a strong class to multi box. Here is the thing half the multi boxers I have seen suck, but a good multi boxer with good macros can kick some great ***. Combined with totems, heals, and heavy burst damage... there is a reason elemental shaman is the only really serious class players multi box.

I am sure they can be beat, but not sure what kind of group it would take, but I wouldn't underestimate what a group like this could do.

Give up Mental, reason doesn't work with them. It's cheating if they can't beat you.

There is a multiboxer on my server who uses shamans, and they really irritate me. Not be cause I have played against them, but they stole my name! :)

This dude stands in the middle of org with his 5 shamans named ____storm. I was the first shaman to do it, thanks for stealing my gig, and now i get messages constantly... Are you a part of this 5 man standing in ORG? or people that know me, DUDE did you see this 5 man in org? For the love of god! :)

I will never understand the joy this guy has doing this, and why he spends so much a month to pay for these accounts. But even with half butted gear on them, his team, last time I saw him was at 1900 rating.

Not bad at all, and I imagine, everyone on my server/battlegroup wants to shoot this guy in the head! :)

I can't see it as anything but outright cheating until some guy posts a video of more than one computer with their own keyboards and mice set up around his chair, and he's controlling each character separately..
