I have done 2-boxing before, but it seemed boring and pointless. I feel like if I 2-box I may as well 3-box, but if I 3-box why not go the whole mile and 5-box?

I don't quite have the means to 5-box but I do for a 3-box. I just don't see 3x mage, shaman, priest, or what have you as that useful. I mean it has usefulness, but if you can 3box wouldn't 5-boxing be just as easy, if not better...I hated doing quests on 2 characters, 3-5 must be WAY worse, so I imagine most leveling would be done in instances, but not really that easy with 3 people (although if I could always find a tank and healer it may be. I would have good DPS covered for sure, but still. I'm sure you get my point.)

I suppose my real question is...

If I'm going to 3-box...Is it worth it? Pros and cons please. I may also just stick to a 2-box. Pros and cons here would be appreciated too.

Also, what team setups work? Is it best to have 2-3 mages, or 2 mages 1 priest, etc.
Also, if I did do 3-box, how WOULD I go about leveling? Instances require a group, and quests are a pain. So what do you do?

(When I mention quest annoyances, I just mean collection quests.. Kill XX quests, and speak with XX quests don't bug me--just the "Collect 5 snowcones and bring them to me" are annoying.

I'm new to these forums but I've been reading them for about a week now and you seem like a cool interesting bunch of people that I would certainly not mind getting to know. Hope to hear from you!!
