So, what can we do about this?
Laugh at the multiboxer because they probably can't kill people 1v1 so they multibox.

Well, really, you need to consider a couple of things. Multi-boxxing requires multiple accounts. Every account means another $15 a month I believe, so that means that one game costs more money for that person to play. Really, they're harming themselves more than players doing that.
Also, Blizzard
is
a business. They are into making profit just like any other corperation like McDonalds or GMC. Really, if a person wants to spend ten-fold more money on a game, Blizzard doesn't see a problem with that. More accounts = more money.
I'm not for multi-boxxing, nor do I condemn it, but I do hate having to suffer it just as much as the next person. Really, it's not very common anymore where I am. That or my battlegroup's boxxers have gone extinct.
Regardless, for your 'answer,' there is not really any solution besides sucking it up and dealing with it.

You realize of course, that they have just as much right to play the game as you do right? You don't want people camping your butt; go to a PVE server or stay in safe zones.

The problem is that you don't get it.
1. You do not need an external program to multibox, originally a keyboard multiplexer was used only later was that replaced by software, and running 3'rd part software in itself does not break any rules.
2. Nothing is automated, multiboxing only works if there's a player behind the keyboard.
On top of that your tone in your post (calling other people children and what not) should have gotten you a forum-ban.

HOW THE !@#$ CAN YOU HATE MULTIBOXERS?
Sorry, had to. But 5 real players will ALWAYS utterly destroy one multiboxer. Why would it be a problem to get oneshotted by a multiboxer while, if it was 5 separate people, they could have been actually doing something useful in the bg instead of running around the midfield or defending one base with 5.
Also, if 5 normal players were corpseganking you, you would've had a much higher problem. But even then, corpseganking shouldnt be such a problem as you say it is. Rez, mount up and fly away.
And multiboxers automate nothing. The only thing they do is send one keystroke to 5 different programs. You go ahead and try controlling 5 characters: its actually pretty damn hard, especially if youre playing different classes. Theres this guy who has a prot paladin, a resto shaman and 3 mages and he runs heroics on his own. Imo, that is skill. He also raids(with 5 normal people.) Can you imagine how great multitasking, situational awareness and preparation is required for that? Probably not, because the only thing you see is 5 lavabursts flying and the only thing you hear is your own qq.

Multiboxers are also a good thing to have on your team tbh, can you imagine someone trying to heal a flag carrier through 5 multiboxxing ele shamans? LAVA BURSTED! I honestly have no problem with multiboxers, if someone is willing to pay for 5 accounts (Xpacs also if its at level cap) and pay their monthly fees for legal enjoyment within the game why not? It costs how much for going to a football game twice a month? It costs less than that to multibox and its their own form of enjoyment. Why get mad at someone for having fun in their own way?

As I have seen other gamers post on WoW forums, multiboxers take gametime away from other players. Multiboxers like to farm honor points in BGs, so when a multiboxer with 5 toons enters a BG, that leaves 4 other players (who also pay blizzard just as much money per toon) sitting in the queue.
When a multiboxer enters a bg with 5 toons he doesn't harm anything, he PAYS for 5 account so he has the same rights as anyone else.

I see your point, but people do some pretty amazing things as multiboxers and I would be sad to see them go.
I dont think that kind of post should be deleted though

Mulit-boxers pay just as much for the game as you do.
Learn to deal with them as a team and quit bringing your QQ here.

I agree. Blizzard does seem to muzzle the dog a little too quickly, far too often.

Didnt Blizzard ban people for multiboxing in Diablo 2? Just food for thought for all the people saying how they pay for the same time and blah blah blah. Just food for thought, tbh I see both sides of this argument, some could say its exploiting.

I pay to play a game, I expect to be able to do what I want to do, when I want to do it (obviously, within reason).
And so do they.

Far too many emotions invested in that post OP. Being impolite and flamey hurts your case. State your beef briefly and with dispassion. Make your examples clear and to the point. And make as few assumptions as you can, by researching your material before writing.
