Another Noob here!

I'm also finding it tedious to switch windows for looting, i don't know how most of you made it to 80 with 5, much less 2!

first the looting.
there is a keybinding in wow for "interact with target". bind that to something. lets say numpad+
then go into interface options and enable "click to move".

what you do ingame later is to kill a mob, loot it with the "main" you have open.
then hit your assist button (im just assuming you are using a "/assist NAME" macro).
then hit numpad+ (or whatever key you might of bound to "interact with target").
the follower/followerS will now attempt to loot the target they have.
afterwards hit your follow macro and keep killing.

but i suggest you skip as many "loot 10 rat tails and then 15 ears" quests.
with 1 and 2 chars i guess it is okey.
but when you start multiboxing with a total of 3 or more chars it becomes extremely tedious and not worth the time in most cases.
still do things like "kill that big dude and bring me his head" quests. those are easy and just means looting once on each char.


on the subject of making it to 80..
iv done 3 accounts full for friends and family (yada yada its not allowed to level for others/account share. but family is family..)

what i do is use a lvl 80 and boost in instances from level 8 to lvl 60. and then do the quests that dont demand much looting.
