I used search and didn't find anything related so here goes....
Why do you multibox?
Personally, I decided that I wanted to multibox to bring some life back into my gaming. I stopped playing at BC and gave my account to a relative after completely failing my final year at University and needed to buckle down with no distractions. Over a year later and I haven't gamed for a really long time. Now that I have free time I wanted to get back into the swing of gaming but couldn't dream of leveling up another 1-70 (of the content that I have completed) then do the 10 levels to 80.
I was also split between thinking what kind of class I should make. Throughout three years and 45 days of /played, I had only ever played 1 class. A mage, and I had leveled up several mages. Talk about living in a cosm of ignorance. I haven't a clue how any of class worked except for my own. Although I would top DPS meters and be the booster type raider in TBC content, if asked to lead a raid or form a raid for my guild, I wouldn't have a clue what to do, because I never understood the game mechanics for any other class, other than a Mage.
So, if I was to ask myself, what do I want from my WOW experience... the simple answer would be the same as what any politician wants. Money and power.. which translated onto the planes of Azeroth would mean, Gold and knowledge. I think that if you have knowledge of mechanics, then naturally the power to do what you want will follow. But alas... my lowly knowledge-set as playing a mage in isolation from every other class for 3 years prior to me quitting, makes this impossible.
So the "long winded" reason for why I multibox (if you have even read this far) is that I want to be able to understand all classes and exploit my army of alts to make gold.
So now I'm asking you guys...
