I believe you are misinterpreting what Malkorix has said, Vomitious. I'll attempt to simplify his third point a bit for you.

Spending money in this fashion does not provide any one character with an advantage over another; however, it does make multi-boxing possible. If there is a multi-boxer playing 5 shaman, the financial investment plays no role in making the fifth shaman by itself any stronger than any other shaman. This is the point Malkorix has illustrated in point number 3.

Your argument revolves around Malkorix's second point. Clearly there is an advantage in that you are able to sync 5 spell casts at the same time; however, they lack the ability to act independently. I believe this weakness is foolishly overlooked most of the time. In most cases, well-organized groups of 5 individual players are much harder to match up against because they are able to work independently of one another preforming much more complex actions in response to their surroundings.

Multi-boxing is, currently, not in violation of any of our policies so long as the characters are not automated. If the player is required to push buttons to preform the appropriate actions, this is not considered botting as no automation is present. Each action preformed is the result of a player pressing a button.
