Found a couple good points here

Seemed every point had a counter point. Mostly people just say they hate it without giving a reason or saying there would be no groups which as I stated I have never seen to be the case. Maybe people have seen that happen on other eq emu's?

The only real valid point I seen regarded using tools like mq2 but those are banned here right? And from what I read on the forums it is easy to find folks who use those tools.
My actual reason for not boxing? It feels like guitar hero without MQ to me much like how live WoW plays now; its just too much button mashing to feel rewarding when I know I could be playing here and enjoying playing the game. I mean I have a long list of other emus I've played, and all of them I boxed. Usually at least 2, but often times 3 boxes.

I'm not saying single boxing is the end-all to end-all, but even up to Gates-Omens era on live I hardly knew 3 different boxers, and only one of them boxed more than 2 toons. P99's policy on boxing helps emulate that community since emu players don't worry about the finances behind boxing like they did on live.

Coincidentally P99 has steadily hosted the largest eqemu pop I can remember in the last 8 years minus TGC.

tl;dr I'd probably just play newer MMOs if I had to box EQ again.
