This is just crazy, makes me feel totally normal... Almost.

That guy has no life and no real friends and at least our hobby gets us out of our Mom's basement and into the FLGS

Sigh. This is the sort of person you blame for economic decline. Even if he can afford to, he's a dick.

"It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," he writes. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft."

Um...not at thoase prices you lunatic...

The only hobby I think that is more expensive would be collecting and restoring classic cars.

no. just... no.

Doesn't really need them. Raids are basically programmed events, so if you know
the sequence of things that happen, then for the practiced hand it's probably
as complicated as touch typing.

Well, I type with my two middle fingers and I still have to go back and fix typos even though my average speed is about 30WPM, so I consider this guy to be a champion oddity. However, as long as he's not hurting anybody, more power to him. I'll be wasting enough time on Diablo III whenever it comes out just alternating between playing two or three characters, one at a time.

There's a program called Keyclone that passes commands from a keyboard to other
computers in your network. And the game WoW itself allows you to program macros
into single button presses. So imagine this:

He presses a key on his keyboard. Keyclone sends that effect to x number of characters.
On all those designated characters they're supposed to do a specific series of actions
(such as acquire a specific target, cast a spell, etc.). If he's done his planning correctly,
he doesn't have to look at the other screens except to flick between the group leaders
ones.

The sad thing is that the major benefit and challenge of multiplayer games is the teamwork with other players.

You guys are just jealous because you don't have as much uberdork cred as dat guy. It's OK. Just spend $40k yearly on warhams and you'll be just as cool as him.

Progs that copy your keystrokes aren't that useful in high-lag areas. He prob just does the same thing every multiboxer does: puts his dudes on follow. 8-)
