I'm semi curious about trying out multiboxing on retail servers, after having played around with it a number of times on private servers.

However, I don't want to spend $45+ a month for subscriptions. I was considering whether it was possible to farm enough gold with out wanting to kms every month to fund subscriptions.

WoW tokens are ~110k gold each as of a couple days ago. I did some calculations. Even if I had herbalism on all my chars, most herbs sell for an average of 10-11g/each. If I average 3.5 herbs per done per char I'm making something like 115-140g "per" herb node.

That comes out to roughly 2600-2800 nodes I'd have to gather per month to pay for 3 subs. (I could just pay for one acc with $$$ and try to fund the other two, but still)

Obviously this is a real base line estimate/calculation. I'm sure there are other ways to make gold multiboxing. What are your guys' suggestions? Is it even possible with out driving me insane doing it every month? I've never been great at making a lot of gold in WoW
