Multiboxer loot etiquette?

How do you handle loot when you group with your multiboxed toons?

Fairness would say Ishould get four rolls for the one that the 5th person has, but usually I just leave it on FFA for the quest and let the other person take the stuff, in instances I turn pass on loot on all my toons but one, giving me an even chance at the junk greens with the fifth person. Is this being excessively nice? (I worry about being nice since we get so much random hate, I want to make any interaction with me a positive one that will make multiboxers look better not worse).

What do you guys do?

I thought multiboxing meant never having to roll :)

When I make up half of Kara for badge farming, I leave loot on FFA and tell the group to loot everything that isn't binding on pickup.
I don't compete for any greens, cloth, greys and whatnot. I just don't want to bother looting the corpses, miss any or hit any roll buttons.
For anything extraordinary, say, world drops, recipes whatnot, all players roll, that means I roll - once - as does everyone else

The way I figure it, I get a lot of badges, trash money and boss money loot. =]

I take a strategy somewhere between Steph and Fursphere, depending on who the other members are...

I also take a middle ground on rolls. Usually I will leave the rolls at FFA because I don't feel like going through all the screens and clicking corpses. I will usually pick up all the DE purples and split the void crystals between enchanters in kara, which is usually 90% of the loot from there, and ignore all the other green, grey, cloth and such.

Out of courtesy, since I am only 1 person, I usually only roll once for items if its BOE epic. The blues are usually ignored.

considering that the few raid guilds that take boxers with them. provide dkp point to pr char
i do not see any reason to have 1 roll in a 10 mans raid or one roll in a instance or world drop situation
unless its a friend or someone you wanna be nice with. after all like someone allready stated above
we pay extra for more characters, why should we limit our self when it comes to looting
ofc grouploot wtih 3+ char is not a pleasent way to spend the time
so i make it simple if i bring a pug along. tell him to loot and divide up the loot and give me half when the instanse is over
or his bags filled. if he is honest and follow up when the instance is cleared i know i can take him into instances again later on
if he /heartstones out of the place without following up /ignore and all i lost is a bite of gold that is easy enough to get as a boxer anyway
provided that you got enchanting on one char, disenchant stuff sell on ah :) made lots of gold that way

i do enjoy to solo instances, but everynow and then its enjoyable to have a party chat and a enjoyable chat with someone

Sometimes I make the Shaman roll against each other, then snicker when they fight over loot.

My team is convinced that Boylcee hacks his /rolls. Boylbee isn't interested in much loot, thinking it's all hunter loot.

When we did Karazhan a few times, my team got into a huge fight over loot in the /raid channel and really made the guild laugh. (Boylbee left the guild in a huff and was threatening to hearth out when Boyldee finally talked sense into him, IIRC).

You're paying for x number of accounts, you get x number of rolls. Period.

At first I agreed with this statement but one of my guild mates made a remark one day about me getting multiple loot rolls. (My guild is filled with nothing but coworkers). It wasn't a snide remark or mean or anything like that, but more of a comment made in passing, but I heard it and took it to heart. Ever since then I just leave looting on FFA or group loot, pass on all my toons except for my main, and let the other guys have whatever drops. I do this even when I'm with someone I don't know; I let that guy have everything that drops....to the point where his bags get full and he has to begin passing on everything.

Personally, I think it's wrong for me to roll multiple times even thou I need to gear my guys too, but I know I can come back to an instance later on and get every damn thing that drops.

I agree with Fur if you are 4/5 of the group than you get 4/5 of the loot.

Granted I do not group much why run 4 when I can run 5 unless one of my brothers is the 5th I box alone 99% of the time. When I feel like grouping or raiding I have a character specifically for that. I enjoy the challenge of MB'ing but most of all the freedom, I know my wife prefers it she knows she can easily drag me away from the computer at any time.

Naw....it's not that. I don't feel guilty about multiboxing. Not at all. I just try to be fair in sharing the loot. Since I play mostly with coworkers I don't mind taking a backseat while letting them have the drops. Once again, I know I can come back later and pick up any and everything I want.
