I like boxing but it really degrades certain classes... Like who would main a cleric when every one can 2 box one? Who will main a druid when every one can have a port bot? You say pvping two targets is easier, but not if my cleric is hidden away somewhere and I feel like being a fgt and running back to get heals until I win. Sam's example of double bolting is perfect as well... And any one can double box a wizard, double ice comet, and shablam your dead.
Now with that being said, I'd be FOR boxing if we can't keep a steady population of 400+.
Probably the best thing about boxing is that, from a server select standpoint, players are much more willing to try the server if they see 500 players when in fact its 250 2 boxing.
Raiding is also made available to even the smaller guilds via boxing.
Boxing also makes guilds stay smaller = more competition. If you get 15 people in your guild and they can all 2 box, they won't want to expand the guild any further, creating maybe 5 top guilds instead of 2.
Boxing also works from an accelerated server stand point. If we really want to catch up to Red99 then boxing may be a good idea... Raid mobs downed faster, leveling made faster, gearing made easier.
So put in boxing if we don't have an epic colossal population. If we do, keep it out.
