If I could 2 box on R99 I wouldn't feel the need to group either, I'd just do the same thing and run a war/shm combo.

Part of the reason soloing/duoing is more effective though is you don't need nearly the mobs to make it efficient. You can find some out of the way place with a couple spawns on a short timer that are easy for their level and grind.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for big group bonuses. The social part of the game is what makes it last ultimately. Just not completely sold on the 2 box idea...I think on the surface it sounds great but once it goes in you pretty much have the 2 box all the time to min max. I kinda like the simplicity now.

where would you solo that war/shaman combo?
CoM? Seb bugs? The exp would probably be even slower considering the amount of PvP you would be dealing with.
Groups would still be the superior choice. Having to log off your shaman box everytime someone zones into your zone in order to be ready to PvP with your Warrior or vice-versa will get old real fast.
On the flip side, if it's during off hours and theres 20 people online, you have this opportunity to continue to make gains, and not be hindered by the lack of people.
You're right, it is a social game, that's why your in a guild. It takes more than 1 person boxing a support class to do anything worth while here. Enabling boxing doesn't all of a sudden change the entire dynamic of the game.
The argument that anyone would be FORCED to 2-box is silly. Every experience I have with boxing theres those who do it, and theres those that don't. There is really no difference than what we have now. Some people have multiple support classes that they are able to log in and out of to help do things in different zones, and there are some people that have one main and zero alts.
