Mosg, I withheld my opinion the first time you said you were moving to 40, but I feel that I should say something now.

I think you're going to find a very small percentage of multiboxers who will approve of anyone playing such a large number of characters, especially for the sole purpose of "locking down a quest hub." The reason for this is due to the recent drama over "mass multiboxing," and the way that people, solo players, were affected because of it. The drama was unavoidable if you visited the WoW forums or reddit, and it was even reported on a few sites, such as Icy-Veins. Many people stood up for small-scale multiboxing (5-10 accounts), but shared their discontent for large-scale multiboxers.

That amount of characters causes nothing but server/continent/zone lag, as well as constant phasing, wherever they go, and they're almost impossible to fight because of it. This is unlikely going to be a good experience for any party involved, regardless of whether people are trying to fight you, or avoid you. Such a large amount of characters will be far from any sort of fair or balanced fight, even if you could get the Alliance to amass the numbers to retaliate.

You could argue that it's no different than 40 solo players getting together to raid something, but with solo players there is the challenge of getting them online, grouped up, and coordinated for the attack, whereas when multiboxing that number of accounts, the only thing you have to do is log in the characters, and you're ready to go—no matter the time of day. There's also the fact that those individual players need to stay logged on for X amount of hours, whereas, again, you, and only you, need to stay logged on to complete your full force of forty. Keeping 40 people logged on for 2, 4, 8, or more hours per day (without getting bored) is unlikely going to happen when it comes to world PvP, but it's incredibly easy for one person to stay online for those hours, day after day after day.

I respect you as a player in the multiboxing community, but I cannot respect your decision to move to such a large amount of accounts just so that you can ensure that others will be bothered by your presence as a multiboxer.
