Very interesting thread to read, I am still fairly new to mbox in wow and atm being 67 i have yet to experience the challanges of wotlk.

I mBox to do instances cause thats where the challange lies for me personally, doing Heroics and gearing up my group is what drives me.

I am in a good guild where we are atm doing Nax, I have explained to my entire guild what im doing and they are totally ok with it and my "main" will still be raiding with them.

What honestly anoys me with questing as a mboxer is that its sooo OP, its already to easy to solo but with 5 char mBox you trash everything before you even know what you are fighting with it gives me no sence of accomplishment tbh tho this i can live with cause i mBox for the thrill of instances, but being used to heroics I was almost disapointed 1st time i hit outland instances with my team, even then i trashed everything without effort, i try to do the instances at the bare minimum lvl for max xp and reaping the most benefit of the gear that droops and to get some feel of accomplishment while lvling

Biggest challenge i had yet was to kill the boss in Sethek Halls, now thoses typs of bosses is the real challenge to a mboxer and where you notice the flaws in your setup, it took me alot of tuning to get him down.

After reading this I think my plan for wotlk will be to split my team (3xhunters 1xpriest 1xpaladin) in to 2 or 3 questing teams so the collecting quests wont be such a pain, i might even do them 1 char at a time

Also I have yet to experience this "phasing" problem with follow but again having read what ppl write I would say its the one fudamental "law" of inconvinience you have to accept as a mBoxer i.e to keep track of your chars and once that starts to get to you I think a break from mBoxing is in order as the OP have realised.

I got a question form a guild mate asking "what are you going to do once you hit 80?" as if lvl to 80 was the goal of me mBoxing, to me the lvling part is like "boot-camp" its where i learn and fine tune, once i hit 80 is when the "real" mBoxing starts for me , heroics, heroic achivement etc etc.

Basically the entire lvling process is one major inconvinience to get to the real deal, tho fortunately it involves alot of fun also
