I hate to resurrect this thread but I have just been in SM-Graveyard as a Shammy healer with a multi-boxing shammy DPS team and they did not hinder my enjoyment of the run one iota.
I think the keyword is "In PvP."
I haven't played against them enough to make a statement.

I haven't played against them enough to make a statement.Not really. The OP is talking about multi-boxing in PvP, but the thread has gone to a discussion in multi-boxing in general. Multi-boxing is multi-boxing whether it be in PvP or PvE.
I think the point is that it generally hinders enjoyment elsewhere. An argument I could use against your example is that three people didn't get into a que because the multi-boxer did, and it hurts their enjoyment.

's argument not mine. I think you're the 2nd or 3rd person to think that was my argument.
Oh for some reason I thought you were Dragalthor. Icons are almost similar.

It was never my argument either though I can see where that argument comes from. I was just stating that from an outsiders perspective having a multi-boxer in my group does not hinder my enjoyment at all. I do feel for the other two players who didn't get into my group because one 'human' was controlling three of the members.
I would like to point out a couple of facts here;
a) 'boxing has been around since TBC, if not before then (thought that was when I remember seeing my first multi-boxer), and I have seen very few threads where they are denigrated quite so severely.
b) Whilst RDF queues can be fairly long for DPS specs, >15 minutes at times, they are a whole lot shorter than they used to be before this functionality was introdiced.

Having read past post in this thread, it seems some people have a twisted idea of what makes Multi boxing ok. Having 15 shammy in a pre-made all controlled by different ppls. You wouldn’t get the same results and you know it.
I’ve read arguments for and against it.
Still comes down to cheating, whether you agree or not.
How can you back this up? Get 15 geared and brained shamans into AB and see if you can't hold BS until you've lost.. You keep arguing this yet your only "proof" is your own belief because other than that you have nothing! I think you might be one of those players who really have never experienced doing coordinated PvP.

The point where this should have stopped was passed at the point where the members opposed to multiboxing couldn't decide whether they wanted multiboxing illegal because it was a "hinderance" or "unstopable".
The only notion they all seemed to agree on is that "multiboxers are fakes" which i'm sorry is a blatant load of rubbish, they still pay a subscription fee, there is still player control behind the character and situational awareness, they are useful to the team they are on and at the same time can still be out played.
Where is there a problem with that, if multiboxing was this overpowered cheat as its being proclaimed to be then surely more people would have jumped on the band wagon but alas they haven't and yet some members are still convinced multiboxing is god status trolling to the community.

There's simply no reasoning with such people.
The same can be said about you there bud. You don't want to look at others view on the matter and only believe in what you say and don't give a damn about anything else.
Every point you have tried to make about them being bad has been disputed and yet you still keep saying they suck and ruin the game for everyone else.

"My main is a Mage. (arcane)
I'm a pretty casual player - I don't do end-game raiding and Arena makes my head explode.
If I've learn one thing about BGs it is this: do your random BGs while the kiddies on your server are in bed/school..."
I do love when I dig to find out the arrogant joker arguing against multiboxing refuses to participate in raiding or arena, plays arcane and think that a 24sec cd stun breaker (with a sprint attached), more snares and roots then you can jab a stick at, doesn't count as something arcane mages have. Not to mention if you choose to play arcane in pvp your choosing to play the worst of your classes 3 pvp specs.
Complain about "exploits" when you at least somewhat optimize your play yourself, from what a 2min look at your profile shows is you believe your $14.99 a month entitles you to play however the hell you want and that if anyone can plain and simply out play you (even if they are paying $149.90 per month) that they are exploiting.

Seriously
Things I now need to do because people
couldn't
have a civil discussion and act accordingly:
Read a 6 page thread to decide if I'm going to lock it
Warn several users
Preform vote restorations
Suspend voting privalages for people
Maybe delete text
Definitely post green boxes
*sigh*

Ok, well this is a lock.
There are too many users in this thread that either came into the conversation with too much rage, or let their anger build up and could not walk away.
Next steps:
Send out some warnings
Check your emails. Multiple warnings means you go to step two.
Suspend privileges
Some people have already been warned, so there are going to be some 24 hours privilege suspension going out.
Restore votes
Tomorrow in the AM I will restore votes to those who need it.
Vote bombing like that is easy to see, and does nothing except get us on your case now.
Repost the topic
Ya, I read all 6 pages. So many quote boxes it was like I read all 6 pages three times. The topic can still produce some amazing discussion. I love this community and I think you guys can bring up some great points and counter points. 50% of the comments in this thread were that. The other 50% was not, and that's why I need to lock this now. People should take a step away, cool down for a night and then post on the new topic once I open it up in
about an hour.
Cheers,
