Cataclysm will be harder to play for multiboxers

I can see one area where multiboxers can get a big benefit. I have my own personal guild for my characters, and at the moment about four RL friends are also in the guild. I expect that the guild will remain very small, as we do not intend to become a raid guild and I only intend to allow RL friends to join. With the new "guild perks" system, a small and very casual guild like mine will take a long time to get the various perks. But since I can also level five characters at a time, it'll be a lot faster than it would be otherwise.

If the perk system goes in as it is right now, there are quite a few nice passive bonuses you can get, such as more experience from kills, more +rep, extra coin from looted mobs sent to the bank, extra honor gain, etc. Being able to climb that ladder 5x as fast could be very useful in the short run.

Couldn't agree more looking at those perks! One I am REALLY excited about is summon your whole party/raid. That would make life wonderful.

I'm in a very odd situation and not sure what to do. It helps to have friends and I got invited/accepted to the top guild on our server as a friend. When I say top guild I mean it- they have all the server firsts etc...What this means is I am in the guild as a friend and not required to raid or really expected to. I have some serious health problems so raiding has been out of the question for me for a while now. Hard to sit for long periods without causing me pain and I'd hate to let others down having to bail on a raid.

Here's the rub- I have my own guild for my team and alts. They will be investing in my team/alt guild while I am investing in the other guild. Not sure what to do.

I'd like to stay in that nice guild to be with people and some of the top players. Of course they'll get perks way quicker than I'd get multiboxing. I could put an alt in the other guild but then it'd defeat the whole purpose of getting to know people since he'd never be online much.

I will keep my main in the Guild with my RL friends etc and other 'real' players. I will keep my bank/boxing guild for all my multibox characters. My main will probably see most of the perks first but in the end the box guild will see them all too just a bit slower.

I wouldn't drop out of the guild to go hermit it up in your 'own' guild. No point.
