I have to admit, I agree with the others here.

While I think it would be cool, the whole setup process, getting macros together, the window layouts, the technical aspects of setting up a computer(s) to run them all, and eventually playing 40 characters, that would all go away the second I PVP'ed. It's no contest, that many vs x number of opposing faction. Would feel to cheap, almost like cheating / griefing.

But to intentionally lock down a hub, that just screams like more bad press for multiboxers. Every single person that multiboxes is like an ambassador to our play style. The more negative feedback there is, i think we all suffer. From other players to just flat out being mean/rude to us, to perhaps at the top of the food chain with Blizzard removing /follow further.

Just like some other user on this forum, he said he was naming his guild "Hacker" or some sort, something about the same level of hate from people and that he personally didn't care for those people. I mean really? I didn't say anything in that thread, though I wanted too. Not sure where this sense of being an ******* entitlement is coming from.

Personally I try to do what I can to show multiboxers in a good light. Helping out others with instance que's / runs, mount runs, gold runs, setting up their own guild without spending 1k on invites etc...

I think others should do the same. I feel multiboxing is a privilege not a right, and Blizzard can change their stance anytime. Whether it was botting or multiboxers that got /follow removed in BG's it doesn't really matter. The fact is that it got removed, and we don't know with 100% certainty why.

I know you will do what you want. I just hope that this rant of mine has offered up some additional perspective on the matter.
