From what I have been reading on here so far is that people have their main account from when they started playing the game (call it account A) and then they decide to get into dual or multi-boxing and use the recruit a friend feature to create a new account thats linked to A (account B).

They now have A => B where they boost a couple of toons on B to gift levels to a toon on A. And if they want to 4 or 5 box (and can afford the hardware and software to run the game reliably) they use account B to recruit C and C to recruit D and D to recruit E

And it all cascades back down to a toon on A

So and so on... in theory...

However, I was messing about a long time ago and decided to create a second account for my horde characters and I wasnt intending on doing any sort of multiboxing, but then I wanted to level up my shaman quickly and so I moved her to my second account and used my hunter to level her up (this was before I heard anything about RAF)

And then a friend of mine was multiboxing using his gf's character just before lich king was released during the scourge invasion and then I found out about RAF and created a RAF account off my main AC and 2 more off my secondary AC.

So now I have 5 accounts (A, B, C, D, E), none of them are linked anymore and I have started to now seriously play the 5 box team I setup.

But I am reading about people saying that they are just going to create throw away accounts to RAF a team quickly.

The question is, we spend, in my case and other people from England, another £40 buying 4 more games and another £18 per game for 2 months of extra time and people are saying that they are just going to bin the accounts after they have RAF'd their team. To my point of view, thats a fair wack of money just to level 5 toons to level 60.

Can anyone please explain why, if I wanted to RAF a new team, I should spend £120 (approximately $200USD) just to level up a new team?

And do you transfer the 4 new members to your existing accounts and just delete the RAF accounts.

Also, how does new account 4 get their zhervra mount when they are on the end of the chain while the main account and the other 3 RAF accounts get theirs?
