Is this any more extreme than playing that thing where you can fire live bullets at the screen ? Or that dude that has the protection screens the size of a wall to play Arm-A

I love how people say things like “there are more expensives hobbies, not many though”, what? Is gaming the only hobby you know?

Snowboarding, mountain climbing, motocross, down-hill mountainbike, etc, etc. All WAY MORE expensive. The cost of gear + transportation + air plane tickets + mountain passes + fuel…. Adds up to a lot more than $5000 a year. Just a single helicopter ride when trying to do some snowboarding can cost you $1000.

Impressive. Scary. Maybe a good example of how WoW doesn’t require much thought/creativity?!? (Not that most games do…) The haters are just jealous. $5000/year for a hobby? That’s, like, chump-change for a lot of hobbies. (Ever owned a horse? Flown aircraft? Tournament paintball? Heck, been around serious outdoorsmen?)

Terouting all your money and spare time into women wouldn’t necessarily be any more productive

depends on his stance on prophylactics, no?

Terouting all your money and spare time into women wouldn’t necessarily be any more productive or admirable… (though it would receive much more general community approval)

Even if he was spending all his time and money on well-planned and effective charity work, ethical research and improvement of the lot of all that lives and breathes on the planet, it *still* wouldn’t change the fact that we will all be dust in a million years time, so give him a break, yeah?

A posted on the same forum last July about his 50 box set-up which he shares with this girlfriend.
Looks more oraganised than the guy with a pile of laptops.

People, people, what the hell?

Really, I don’t see anywhere in the article that he plays 24/7.

He might play as little as an hour a day.

Just with 36 characters.

Someone has far too much money and far too little of a life. – and this is coming from someone who enjoys WoW (and now WAR).

Its also extremely pointless as the maximum you can have in 1 group is 5 and you cant use a “Raid group” to do Non-Raid group quests.

Multi-boxers use methods of /follow so 35 characters following 1 would mean 31 of them will be getting no experience points and the 5 would get very little due to doing no damage (as the 31 will do a high % of the damage).

Sooooo, the point i’m trying to make is its most likely a lie.

I’m surprised that Chris is the only one who compared it to ‘multi-chess’… though then again, in that case you’re playing against multiple people, here you’re just manipulating multiple computers.

Wild.

The “re-route to women” commend was golden though.
