If you were to start over...

After much pondering, I'll do what Uulaa & confusedtx5 suggest. Drop 4 accounts, RaF 4 new ones, and get new teams to 80 quick. Hunters, mages, dk's, paladins. Maybe I'll get every class x 5 to 80 for maximum versatility. I assume there is no limit to how many toons you can boost & grant levels to?

Wondering if it's worth paying another $35 to move my 80 alliance pally to Magtheridon, or just start fresh with all 5? I think 4 new accounts + xpacs is $200ish?

Man, this is a pricey hobby!

It sometimes seems like it.

I think the monthly cost and game purchase puts it cheaper than what I spend on my bowling league once a week. What makes it expensive is the computer to play on. A bowling ball costs $200 for a nice one, computer costs 1.5k

Overall I still think its a good inexpensive hobby.

If you're boosting...
And you'd be able to boost very well with an already 80, and somewhat (maybe very) geared toon, at least to the upper 70's...
You could also run the Pally through Cata content to be 84/85 in quest stuff, before RAF, which would make WotLK 80's dungeons quite easy to boost in.

I'd transfer the one toon.
I actually did faction change + server change, on five toons... which sucked for the costs, but the Magtheridon guys are great and I'm having lots of fun there.

A (Pally) > B > C
A (Pally) > D > E

Boost four toons on BCDE.
End up with:

A: 1x Booster +4 Granted (2 from B & 2 from D) +2 Additional Granted (Because B/D each were granted two, letting them grant one more each).
B: 4x Boosted +2 Granted (From C)
C: 4x Boosted
D: 4x Boosted +2 Granted (From E)
E: 4x Boosted

That's:
A = 6 new toons (and the Pally)
B/D = 6 new toons
C/E = 4 new toons

A toon leveled from 1st to 80th, with RAF can grant 39 levels (not 40, for some reason)...
So each pair of toons, can grant 78 levels between them.
So the toons who are receiving granted levels, would be leveled to 2nd... and be as close as possible to 3rd.
So after gaining 78 additional levels, they're 80th and very close to 81st.
