Do boxers sell their accounts?

Sell my accounts? Feck that! Put way to much time into WoW to give it all up for a bit of pocket money!
I love my toons, there my world away from the harsh reality that is my mundane existence! You don't get to fly
On a dragon every day!, unless your playing WoW

when i started 4 boxing i kept getting asked that question all the time by my guildmates: are u gonna sell your accounts etc.

i put alot of time and effort into each team plus they all linked into 1 bnet account in my name, no way would/could i even think of selling. plus if we can afford to pay for multiple accounts i dont think any of us are desperate for cash and need to sell off accounts.

I've seen EVE online charcters offered for a lot of money but even there, where they can be traded legitimately, it seems like a lot of time/money spent for little return. I haven't played WoW in over a year but I wouldn't consider selling my accounts.

I'd imagine that much more money is spent on buying gold rather than characters.

I get so annoyed with how often people assume im botting or selling accounts.

I am offended that anyone would sell their accounts. If you flaunt it out loud, I will report it any chance I get.

I saw a breakdown of the time invested vs money earned from selling the account, somewhere. It wasn't even close to being worth it with the estimates that were used. I can't remember where I saw it so I can't check but I think it came out to be around $1.50/hr.

ALLLLL This. ^^^^

What in God's name would possibly get me to:

Forego my personal lifes time.
Upgrade my computer.
Cost: Download / pay for the software.
Kill Millions of mobs and players.

Time to do the research to multibox.
Have and obtain the feats or achievements I want
Acquire the personal goals I want.
The time spent, grouping, ungrouping, questing, sharing quests, dungeons, raids, pvp, mounts. etc etc etc.

I think not.

I would sooner DIE then let some scrub caress my sweet shamans for money. That would make me a virtual prostitute!

If you make the kind of money that allows you to start multiboxing, it's highly unlikely that you'd need to resort to selling accounts to supplement your income.

Twinks on the other hand are a completely different story. Because a huge number of them are kids, many don't have the kind of income to support even one account, so account selling and playing private servers is rampant among twinks.

Multiboxing implies a much higher level of maturity, in order to both manage the technical side of it, and support it financially. That maturity suggests that multiboxers are more responsible, and likely to follow the rules.

I absolutely LOVE the logic side of thinking here.

Fantastic. /Cheer. I really wish I'd had said this.

It's probably still more fun then most badly payed jobs. I got a whisper from a guy who had an accident and couldn't work anymore. He was thinking about starting to box to make some money. It's probably not very effective, but could work in a situation like his.

It might be fun at first, but having to play in order to make money would probably burn a person out pretty fast. Can you imagine having to play WOW 6, 8 or 10+ hours every day?

As for the main topic, it seems to me that most people who ask/accuse us of selling accounts are looking for a reason to criticize multiboxing. When "they have no friends" or "they fail so bad they need five accounts" doesn't get the reaction they wanted, they can always fall back on accusing us of something that might get our accounts banned. So accusing multiboxers of selling accounts or gold will be popular amongst the knuckle-dragging crowd.
