Best battleground for multiboxing (several teams)

[Fuzzyboy]

Just looked over some info on PvP changes in cataclysm (http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/w...on-blue-posts/), which I'm really looking forward to.

Anyway, the idea of advancing in raiding from BG's will mean some very positive changes to the PvP systems, both for boxers and non-boxers I think.

Anyway, my question is this. If several multiboxers group up, what battleground would be better (i.e. more suited for multiboxing)? I'm thinking AB, since it's fairly easy to get 3/4 boxers together and make a full premade. 3/4 teams also seem to work well for split-strategies?

AB would be good, Eye of the Storm would be good. I think the others will be a nightmare for boxers.

AB has been one of the worst for me since I started multiboxing. No one will defend a node (except you), everyone will follow you, and without your team they will fail to take any other nodes. So you leave your node, and one of 7 stealthers on the other teams takes it. I think I win more WSG than AB beleive it or not.

Eots, Strand have been crazy good for me. I win almost all of those

I think you're missing my point - although I suppose it was a bit vague. Anyway, my question was regarding what BG would be better to grind for rating, assuming your side consisted only of boxers. Like in the case of AB, me + 2/3 other boxers

Consisting only of boxers? That sounds bad in every battleground. I think it'd be best with 1-2 boxers at the most, the rest individual players.

From that perspective, one could claim that boxing is a bad idea because 5 good individual players will always be better than one boxer and thus, it would be true for any battleground and arenas, that the less boxers the better the result, if the alternative is good individual players. That wasn't what I was asking though :-) Rather I was simply asking for opinions of the optimal BG _given_ the fact that the players on one side is boxers, rather that if boxing battlegrounds would be a good idea (not that input in that regard is unappreciated)

Eye of the Storm in my experience is the best BG for boxers. The whole point of the game is for dense groups to be at specific locations. I don't think that any BG other than AV is going to do well with multiple boxers though.

And my point was that I don't think any of them would work particularly well as battlegrounds are not a small arena but large open areas with a lot of different positions. I can't see it working in WSG, AB, Strand, AV, or Isle. Maybe EOTS but I really doubt it since you'd be facing other competitive teams who would easily take advantage of each boxer only being in one place.
