Just curious if anyone in the guild is a frequent multiboxer?

If not, have you ever given it a try?

I've always wanted to be one of those people who solo their way through every heroic but there's no way I could ever bring myself to level all 5 characters to 70 and or have the time to do it.

I've multiboxed to run my lower levels through instances before, but otherwise nothing else.

If you multibox you can do stuff like this -

That one. All you gotta do is give 15 minutes of time pressing accept.

You don't need to multibox in order to do that.
You just need multiple accounts.
This however: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8uLUBEPB-U&feature=related
A PvP video which is also very amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmgMsDGyCVE&feature=related

That was ridiculous.
I've seen multi-boxers in PVP before, i stuck with them the whole match, and we kicked arse.

Theres a draenei elemental shaman 4box team on my battlegroup, Firstrock through Fourthrock. I played an arena against them once, and then the last time I saw them was a few weeks ago in an EotS. It was madness, they were single-handedly winning the game for the alliance.

Its unfair, and I cant believe its legitimate...but I guess I can take consolation in the fact that these guys are paying a lot more per month than the rest of us.

I'll say this: It's in NO way as easy as they make it look.
At least from my experiences anyway.
I'm sure having the right hardware and setup helps a ton but you still have to think about four characters at once.
Plus I'm sure blizzard wont complain about another account being paid for here and there.

Yahoo news reported a man who has something like 32 different accounts running on 30 different computers/screens. The man can raid by himself... He's even calculated how much WotLK will cost him with tax.

...I wish I had that much free time...

Multiboxers really irk me in the BG's. Part of the biggest challenge of the game is getting a group of people to all do what they're supposed to do. I realize that Blizzard is more interested in collecting subscriptions from multiple accounts owned by one player, but its enough to make me want to quit Bg's when you run into a five multiboxing shaman who can pretty much hold any spot in AV with seemingly minimal effort because he/she can do what most of us fail to do in a normal battleground, focus fire and stick together.

I also seriously question the point of playing an MMO if you only really want to play by yourself...

This I just don't understand.
25 man raids =/= 36 accounts.
