Now my only choice to feel powerful is to actually make friends and then try to have the same schedule with them and get on vent and deal with people quitting after one loss and so on. I don't have time for this shit. I actually have a real life where I have to do all these things at my job.
The alternative that you have is to become good with a particular class/spec and make a difference that way. I play 11 classes and more than 20 specs, solo. And 4 of them I master enough to make a difference, provided I have equal gear. My win/loss ratio is significantly higher on those toons as well. On the other specs I have a feeling that I still contribute, but can't make a difference, and thus do not feel that sense of power.

I'm not talking about gladiator viable, I'm talking about carrying a random bg team and make the difference (i.e. relative to the skillcap in random bgs).

What blizzard did was taking away your I-win button to a certain extend. Some players are still able to be successful in random bg's, after the removal of /follow, while still respecting the ToS. The reality is though (from why experience with other multiboxers), that they don't exceed the average skill/knowledge of the average random bg player. And multiboxing in my opinion has always been about the principle that once you master 1 toon, you take on the challenge to gain control of multiple toons. Not the other way around where numbers/ 1 I win button compensates for the lack of skill/knowledge. This is based on my experience with the multiboxers I have met, which not necessarily means this is true for the whole spectrum.
