Away for 2 years.. what have I missed?

[Kalyse]

Come January, I was thinking about starting up my 5 box again. Been getting a bit of a craving now that I heard that the new expansion is out.

I quit playing about the time that Pandaria was coming out. The enjoyment that I get out of boxing was economics.. I used to love making money and using multiple profs to just pile in the cash.

When I stopped playing, I let about 80k worth of ores go to rot, which I guess is now worthless...

So some of my questions I guess..

- How has multi boxing being made more difficult? When I was quiting, they removed several target and timing macros which made creating macros for boxing much more difficult.
- Has /follow been removed entirely from the game?!
- Would you say boxing is harder or easier than it was in Cata?
- Is running instances/heroics still a case by case matter? (Some instances are impossible... others are steam rollers if you get the tactics right?)
- Anything else which is a point of interest for boxers? (I barely ever PVP'ed because I didn't know how).
- Is the "gem" shuffle still around? Ore, prospect, gem, craft/blacksmith, dischenchant, sell? (Used to make a daily killing on that).
- If I was to start again, how would I do it? (Is there a RAF system still? How can I get the most benefit from my 5 accounts) Also I would have to buy 5 upgrades for Pandaria, so I guess that's going to be expensive, especially when the new expansion is due soon.
