Do you guys still play one character ever?

I raid on my resto druid and I am levelling 5 druids multibox.

I love both styles of play, couldn't imagine giving up one for the other. Playing on a single character, you get more of an RPG-feel where you actually feel attached to your character and how he or she grows and gets more poweful (and has a story, if you RP). And it's more possible to min/max and play a single character to the fullest in terms of raiding or PvP. And I love socializing with my friends in the guild. I have a blast either doing the 25 man raids, or 10 mans on weekends with a smaller, closer group, or even running Zandalari heroics with my RL friends, using Ventrilo of course.

With multiboxing, it's all you, there's little or no interaction with other players. But this is a good thing sometimes. I never, ever, pug using the dungeon finder and I wouldn't on my main either. I find it very challenging and engaging, and it requires a lot of ingenuity in the setup and class composition. For almost every class it will boil down more or less to spamming a single button for a non-optimal DPS rotation, but things like healing, tanking, and movement will take up all our attention. Movement is one of those big things that single boxers take for granted.

However, multiboxing feels lonely. And my five identical characters with nearly identical names seem to have less "personality" than a single character. So I consider multiboxing to be just one of my solitary hobbies. If I want to play with friends I play on my single character. If I don't want to be disturbed by anyone, and just want to kick ass with 15 treants and 5 Typhoons knocking everything back indefinitely, I play my druid team

Edit: One thing I'll never go back to, however, is 2, 3, or 4-boxing. It seems to only result in the worst of both worlds. On one hand, there's the difficulty of multiboxing combined with the asshattery of PuGs, and the fact that you can't run dungeons or setup macros at your own pace as you have 1-3 other people waiting for you. And for PvP, smaller numbers of toons doesn't give enough burst damage to actually outweigh the disadvantages of multiboxing. So only 1-box, or 5-box for me (maybe 10-boxing if I had the money).
