Fairly new to multi-boxing (3+), although I have dual-boxed before...

I've been contemplating just playing with chat turned off because of all the hate I get in game. I don't want to seem like a bot and not respond to tells but it just puts me in a bad mood when people continually gives me crap about running multiple guys.

Have any of you guys gotten in trouble for not responding to tells, etc? I'm assuming if a GM was investigating me they would at least show up and make themselves known but i'm more worried about an uninformed GM banning me because he sent me a tell and I didn't respond.

I'm a bit surprised at the amount of grief and hate tells I get while leveling my 4x shaman team or my 3x hunter team. I guess I didn't used to get it because my War/Rog combo doesn't look synchornized and it's a lot easier to tell when it's 2-5x of the same class. 80% of random tells I get are jerks, with another 20% going "cool" or "nice, how are you doing that?"...

Maybe I should just run instances... =/
