Question about loot and solo vs multiboxing old raids/instances

Hi Multiboxers, I am wondering why I cannot experience an incentive to farm Karazhan for example with 5 chars instead of 1.
I tested Kara Trash farm with 1 char and with 5 and the 5 toon team did not get more loot. And it makes no difference if I enter as a Group or switch to 5 toon raid. And changing the loot option would not make anything better or worse.
Afaik and understand ist, right now you won't get more loot (BoE items) than a solo char, is that right?
So there is no point in multiboxing old Dungeons and raids for "more" sellabledrops/BoE stuff right now, or did I miss something?

Any help would be appreciated!

Old dungeons are now personal loot so there is incentive to multibox in dungeons. Old raids are still legacy (before I believe SoO where Flex was first introduced?) and have set loot based on difficulty, regardless of how many people are in the zone.

They are talking about changing this in BfA and instituting a new "loot mode" for legacy raids but that still won't give you incentive to multibox, it will just let all old raids use the flex raid loot system and drop loot, even for solo players, as if there were the minimum amount of flex raiders present (typically 10)

Oh man *head hits desk* :-o So this was a raid vs. 5-Person-Dungeon mechanic I ran into. Thanks for your help! The BfA loot change reads fantastic for transmog hunters :-) Have a nice day
