So is bind sighting on a tracker boxing? lmao

Not boxing, you are not controlling their movements or actions if all you are doing is watching a screen

No, because that output was generated by your own character.

How is there any middle ground to that? If you want a live feed for the EC tunnel there's ahungry.com/eqauctions

If you really want to multibox, play blue as well as red, or try PEQ, can 10 box if you like <3

Yea I agree and go to great lengths annoying my friends to log on and do shit in order not to box. I still think there are loopholes that are interesting to consider especially when you factor in the inability to enforce some of these.

I think my biggest concern is around the 1person/1account/1computer VS 0person/1account/1computer because EQ is a very afk friendly game and I dont see how they could possibly enforce this correctly.

In the case of screen sharing, you're looking at the output from two accounts on two computers.

I'm not trying to accuse anyone and I don't judge anyone who does it currently since it's within the rules.

Yes it is boxing, if you can controll ANYTHING on that screen, if it's just a stream then no it isn't boxing. (anything=mouse or keyboard in anyway that can send commands to the screen)

If you logged in both chars, and noone is sitting at one. Its boxing. If someone else logged in a char, that is being watched by you while u play a diff char, and noone is sitting controlling other char. Its boxing. Dont play the its a twitch stream game, if the ultimate purpose was to have a char logged in, that noone intends to sit there and play.

It sounds like you are trying to bend the rules to box.

Hey Haynar, I really appreciate the response! I don't do it myself, but from what I understand the tracker shares their screen remotely with everyone in the guild and may or may not be AFK while others watch.

From the sound of it, they would have to be controlling the other char for it to be considered boxing. Thank you for the clarification.

If a guild is running a tracker, that noone is playing, it is likely someone is guilty of boxing. Someone logged it in physically. Having a seperate person log it in, who had no intent to play, is circumventing the rules.

Unless the tracker is someone who does not log in a diff char, u may be ok. But based on how ppl try to get around the rules here, probably not.

If tracker goes LD, who logs it back in? Someoen who got on server on another account? Or someone called, who doesn't actually play?

Its possible to do in a way thats not boxing. But if noone is sitting there, and whole guild watches it, and takes action based on that screen? Then they all are guilty of boxing, and should be banned.

Cool and agreed.

Not being a jerk but does Dev ruling = CSR ruling?
