People arguing that guilds using tons of shared toons isn't classic are definitely speaking from experience that I don't share.
It is absolutely correct that guild bots are caused by unlimited free login accounts, that's the entire reason for it. No one would be able to build this guildbot infrastructure or share accounts with entire guilds with no fear if accounts had subscriptions.
However in my experience in 1999 I had a notepad full of 40-50 accounts and passwords at all times, with rl names and phone numbers if available. For important spawns we would call people on their land lines and ask them to log on. I dual and triple boxed on most encounters through velious and luclin (with separate computers and keyboards.)
If you had been raiding with people for a year it absolutely wasn't weird to have their login info.
