Ellay did transfer... yes, four characters which means $100 in transfer fees... to BG9 and made a video of him gettin to 2k+.

Smolderthorn is his home server though, so it made sense to go back. If you've ever seen the older videos (3-boxing mages) -- "Can you see what I see" -- you'll notice that was also from Smolderthorn.

-Vyndree of http://vboxing.net

I'm a native to Smolderthorn where I play a mage. I have two things to chime in here.

1) 1 or 2 of the top arena invitational teams, "Ohnoes" and "Zecks" and whatever their current team name is now are from Smolderthorn. There are a lot of native Smolderthorn people doing serious PvP nowadays.
2) I personally don't buy into the BG9 hype, and I don't think anyone can ever prove that one battleground bracket is harder than another. Even if it is harder, the question becomes "How much and in what ways" It could be harder at 1700, but equivalent at 2100.
3) I remember doing battlegrounds at 60 with his mages, who were Alliance.

Well, I haven't been very impressed by Reckoning, especially when I found out one of their 2500 teams consisted of a t6 hemo spamming rogue that was clicking on skills. The shaman wasn't great either, clicking on heals and never faked healed and his opponents weren't all that great either.

Multiboxing isn't the problem, 4 separate players who were in the same room would do a better job than a single player multiboxing.

Root the leader then run behind them, since the leader cant move the multiboxer would have to keyboard turn to be able to hit you with more than one character.

Death knights would make short work of such a comp, all they need is to use Death Grip on the leader, pulling the leader 30 yards away from the rest, any stun/root/fear after that would make all 4 of them flounder without being able to effectively fight back.

Area effect fearing works too, if you can get all the tremor totems out before you do it. Using slowing effects on the "followers" would make them peel off if you can get the multiboxer to follow you away from the totems.

The problem is that people don't use the vulnerabilities of multiboxing against the multiboxer, they get too freaked when 4 (or 5) instant chain lightning hit them to realize that the multiboxer has much less control than a normal player.

*ahem*

BAWWWWWWWWW

What undocumented feature or bug is he exploiting, exactly? he has 5 computers. He rapidly switches between 5 wireless keyboards. He uses in-game macros.

It is an exploit, because four regular players can't achieve the synchronization that multiboxing achieves via a third-party program sending its input to other accounts.

You can do it with 4 players. Use in-game voice chat, and have somebody yell an enemy's name, then say "Go!" On go, everybody casts a chain lightning on that enemy. Bam, people will think you're multiboxing.

"He rapidly switches between 5 wireless keyboards."

*cough* LOL?

You have no friggin idea what you are talking about, have you? You can connect one keyboard and one mouse to several computers at the same time. He presses 'space' on the keyboard, all five characters jump. He presses his main attack keybind, the main character starts casting Chain Lightning, the other three element shammies activate the macro to assist him and cast CL as well, while the resto casts a chain heal.

Easy as pie,. The hard part about multi-boxing is having the dough for it, and the devotion to do it,

As for being an exploit - You guys are just envious that you can't do what he can do. Get your heads outta yer asses and wake up. This is NOT an exploit, that is Blizzard's OFFICIAL stand in the matter.

he is NOT switching between 5 keyboards!!!!! all four toons cast at the exact same time time. i would say he has one keyboard and mouse tied to 4 boxes. which is why they are all the same class.
id be impressed if they were all different classes or even 2. imho this guy is just another loser who figured out how to use his money to gain an advantage.
ban-hammer this sucka!!!!

agreed

For what?

QQ "mommy he's doing something I can't, make him go away."

I always get a good laugh out of people that think boxing is ezmode and that it should be banned.

I love it even more that Bliz says, tough luck.

I think "for what" is obvious.
