I just wanted to point out that my original point wasn't to equate botting with multi-boxing, but rather to emphasize that - if mult-boxing is going to be banned - it will be because of public outcry of unfairness by other players.

It is up to the multi-boxing community to make sure we don't impose on the other players to the extent that they decide Blizzard should level the playing field.

I disagree that showing off in your own areas is a good idea. People can be terribly petty, and envy is powerful.

If Blizzard decided this activity was causing a customer satisfaction "problem", the fix would be easy - as someone so succinctly pointed out.

I feel as if I've been down this road before. I tried to warn the AC macro community about abusing their power before it was banned to no avail. Then some idiot published an addon that made it really easy for everyone to use, and within months the activity was banned (and it was actually quite a large percentage of the player base that was "macroing").
