Quoting this because I want to be able to come back and easily see it so I can raise hell with Blizzard for jacking me on extra loot all these years.

Gotcha. I change my reply to “it’s not automation” then 
It sends it to my singular WoW window
What would happen if I loaded up two WoW accounts and pressed W on one screen?
A TLDR example:
Solo player goes out and kills a mob. He gets one mob’s worth of loot.
Solo player groups up with strangers, and kills a mob. He gets one mob’s worth of loot.
Multiboxer with 5 characters, goes out and kills a mob with his group. He doesn’t get one mob’s worth of loot. He gets 5 mobs worth of loot, because of personal loot.
The same multiplier is in effect when it comes to gathering.

The best part of getting ignored is that person can’t refute your claims so to the thread it’ll look like they have no argument

When a mob dies and one person killed it it drops one person worth of loot. When multiple people are involved it generates new loot to go to each person. The standard loot that is on the mob normally was multiplied so everyone gets it.
Ok, I’m playing 5 characters so I get 5 characters worth of loot 
Sorry, but Blizzard views those last two as the same.
“Group goes out and gets loot.”
It doesn’t matter if someone is controlling five characters. They’re all separate characters.

There is no “loot multiplier” lol
Do you guys get 5 rares or epic items (if they drop) from killing one mob? or does it drop one and it goes to one of the toons, like normal parties do?
But if you group up with 5 people, you don’t get 5 people’s worth of loot now do you? So why do you claim its the same?
but you are one person. The equivelant to this would be to just group up with 5 people and have them all always give you everything that drops for them.

In a big server, multiboxer singlehandedly made herbing and mining a waste of time.

It’s as much “automation” as it is when multiboxing software sends your one command to every WoW client instead of just the one in focus.
They all get personal loot; so they’d all be getting something different
So yeah 1 person in 1 5th of the time frame gets 5 rolls on the same loot than 1 person on normal mob kill time frame gets 1 roll at loot
If I have two accounts and press W on 1 screen will both my characters be in the same location?
Please tell us, how is multiboxing the same as grouping up. Multiboxers with 5 toons get 5X as much loot. A person grouping up with 4 other people still only gets 1 persons worth of loot chance.
Is it 100% that all 5 toons get that rare or epic? Or are the chances the same like a normal party?
In b4 5 different toons get loot and not the player themselves
There’s a good reply from a Blue in an icy-veins article I found recently. It’s about pvp but I think it applies to that as well.
What happens when 5 players and 1 multiboxer join a battleground? 10 character slots are filled. The results are identical to a situation where each character is controlled by a single player. We can run over the relative merits and disadvantages of multiboxing til the bovines return to their abodes, but factually, that’s what we’re dealing with:
10 characters vs. 10 characters. The raw ability of those 10 characters to accomplish their goal (winning the battleground) is identical within reasonable assessment of individual class abilities, gear and skill.”
It’s a bit longer if you want to read the whole thing, but the same premise, “characters are characters multiboxing or solo”.
Sorry forgot link https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/38173-changes-to-multiboxing-in-battle-for-azeroth
I do if I group up with 5 people on 5 characters 
If I group up with 5 people on one character then now I don’t.
