I am certainly impressed by Trion's response to those sad shadows. I am new to MB in Rift, having done it a bit in WoW. I tend to have only 1 or 2 other chars along for the ride, and I like the challenge of casting different skills at the same time.

I have had my share of dealing with people who thought I was botting. Funny how they don't observe you long enough to really see what you're doing.

A guild I'm in has an activity where we each play a single character but the entire guild is doing the same quests at the same level in a raid group, which you can do in Rift (thank god!). It's great fun for bonding and playing together since obviously we have mains at all different levels. But the grief from people who think we're doing something against the EULA and TOS!

I'm very glad to hear that Rift is a reasonable spot for MB.
