Pro's of boxing
- Stranded without ports to get to groups
- groups not having the necessary support classes ench/clerics
- lack of people willing to play the boring PVP classes
- I have seen at least 10 people box right infront of me, quoting no one does anything about it anyway
- Smaller crews can do content
Cons of boxing
- Top guild could pad serious numbers
- Everyone is max buffed for pvp
- People would feel forced to box possibly
- Would take group spots away from team members, hurting the community design we're trying to implement
I would say put it in Red99 as a trial and see if it brings people in, my theory is red99 is beyond fucked and no one has fun playing there regardless of being able to solo PVE content.
Red99 has no community anyway, so at the very least it would allow new players to level up characters on red99? I don't know, nothing can really save that shit hole at this point. On teams I am on the fence about boxing, but I do know insta plugging with IP exemptions, as well as people boxing while someone else is home incase Zade or Sirken show up, they can just say the guy is in the bathroom and call him over for the test.
IP Exemptions are a really sticky issue considering the advantages that people get from boxing, I am computer illiterate I am not a super nerd, therefore I don't even try the VPN/IP block shit - but I see a lot of people boxing and it creates an unfair advantage, while some melees cannot find groups and just give up.
