Is multiboxing currently sustainable without gold reserves?

Do you do just the gold emissaries or all the emissaries to get more paragon chests?

Do you have a team comp to recommend just for this raw gold setup? With just emissaries/assaults my 5 man team won't be enough so I would need a second one, I would welcome any tips you have.

I do all the emissaries or at least all the emissaries where the quest selection doesn't look intimidating and mostly I do it every 3rd day.

I normally 8 box these days, first team is fury warrior, disc priest, resto druid and 5 bm hunters
Second team is 2 boomkins, ret pally, havoc dh, ele shaman, frost mage, shadow priest, frost dk. Basically as diverse a team as I could possibly make using the toons that I already had leveled.

Needless to say the first team is stronger, second team dies a little bit when doing the 8.3 content but is stronger in pvp (since melee is easier to face targets). All that to say you can pretty much use whatever teams you like.

Alright thanks for the info, I'll see if I can get 50% there with my 5 man team, and if the math checks out I'll level a second team. Doing just emissaries and assaults shouldn't be too much time to pay for the whole setup.

Blizz did move my 3 account from battlenet 2 to my Battlenet 1 - Free - You need a ID with a picture that you can upload to them in the process - could use my account again after 6 hours.

Yeah I realized that was an option, but by the time I was already half-way through unlocking Pathfinder so I thought it would be a fun challenge to see it through. And I created the other bnet account using RAF, so I got a few bonuses in the process as well as a few months for free.

My setup:
Battlenet 1 - 8 account for gameplay - farming - dungeons etc. Have 14 5 man teams of lv. 120 that now can do the 2K WQ over 2 days - So thats 4 tokens a month.
Battlenet 2 - I have 1 account only for AH stuff - 9 toon with there own bank to store mats 1=food. 1=ore 1=tansmog etc. that account pay the rest.

Interesting, do you know approximately how much farming you do on top of the emissaries to pay for the rest of the tokens? Or do you rely on previous stocks/gold currently?

That's where I went first, but mostly they talk about farming herbs (which isn't very profitable anymore), shuffles (which doesn't benefit from a multibox setup) and AH flipping (which I suck at and I hate it). And since the entire wow population seems to hate multiboxing now (that was a surprise, I remember that people used to like or at least tolerate it), I'm not sure asking for advice in that sub would be a good idea
